Guest Lottie Posted October 27, 2004 #26 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I could say that westerners are idiots for pushing their parents into the many thousands of nursing homes in the west, but it would be an offensive generalized statement which i think would anger quite a few who actually physically care for their elder generations and cause many inflamed responses from the western population. But Alis, you have already done this. In your words you have already made "An offensive generalisation statement" about the treatment of the elderly.

However, you have in three threads including this one resulted to name calling. And in your words you have already made "An offensive generalisation statement" about the treatment of the elderly in the UK which is indeed a huge genralistaion considering the care of our Elderly in this country is actually very good apart from one or two cases that ended up in court anyway.

No I don't get offended the reason being that anyone who would say something like 'a bunch of idiots' or result to name calling as a way to try to justify themselves is someone who I could not take seriously anyway.
