    Your sentence structure is confusing.

    Seriously though, I only noticed the grammatical error after the fact. I was more posting to point out the silliness of claiming that all old people are great. It's a generalization that comes across as being somewhat condescending, even though I'm sure it wasn't meant to. It's like when someone tries to prove they aren't a racist by claiming that they think all black people are awesome. It's still a generalization that presents a group as an other.

    By the way, Telegraph, how much does it pay to be the Jin police? Am I eligible to join? I promise to take it as seriously as you.

    Haha, I gotcha. I understand that not all old people great. Honestly, I was only speaking from all the old people I know personally rather than consider old people in general. Perhaps, I should have included that in my first post and clarified that better. @-@
