Pops is a term that some young men, and even older men seem to feel that they have a right to use in reference to older men either in a bantering way or as an insult. Now, common sense should tell us that people don't need constant reminders that they are old since the unmerciful mirror is enough to supply that daily reminder. So why add to the misery by referring to old men as "pops" when it is totally unnecessary and will only increase the psychological pain?
Why not have empathy instead? After all, we are all human and inevitably age. That includes you. Will you enjoy being called "Pops" when it is your turn to be old? Or is it that you imagine yourselves forever young? Yes, strange as it might seem now, your turn will arrive unless you die young because of illness, accident, being killed, or via suicide.How will you react to that same reminder?
So since that is the case, why not simply leave people who are already burdened by age alone by stopping with this "Pops" bullshit? Ignore them instead and leave them to deal with their accursed physical condition in peace. Is that too much to ask?

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Six guests in 24 hours down from 5000 just a week ago? That is really impressive tweaking.

Radrook Admin: Amazing how the number of guests rose suddenly to 5000 and then has been gradually and steadily going down. Pretty soon I will be getting maybe 100 guests if I am lucky. All of them bots, of course.
