Are Senior Citizen Discounts discrimination and are they enforcable?

I feel that if there was a Baptist discount or a Asian discount or a Gay discount, there would be lawsuits everywhere. How is this different? Isn't it discrimination based on age?

I live in an area near Boston where most of the elderly are VERY well off and everyone else is struggling because the elderly bought their homes and land when it wasn't outlandishly expensive and now no one can afford to buy unless they are earning well into the six-figures.

I'm not, and feel that I need the extra 15% off at a nearby chain department store much more than they do.

Also, is this enforcable language: "discount is valid for senior citizens aged 62 or better." I am 31 and believe that is much "better" than 62.... :)

Thank you.

Hosted a small dinner party, 2 guests (grown men) stage a "fight" and one throws a fistful of mashed potatoes

at the other one - splatters all over him and TWO walls opposite each other ... that's how hard he threw the mashed potatoes.

I was speechless ... I didn't know how to react to this rude behavior.

What would you have done?

After a few minutes they told me it was a big joke and they staged it, but they made a huge mess, which he did clean up himself.

Should I be amused or annoyed?

if i seal white marble tile before grouting will it affect the grout adhesion?

i know it needs to be sealed or it will discolor with the grout but my husband wants to spray the sealer on and soak the whole floor and i want to wipe it on with a sponge, then after the grout is in, seal the whole thing again by soaking it with the sprayer (the sealer we bought is for granite, marble, ceramic and grout and comes in a big spray bottle). i'm concerned the grout won't adhere correctly and will chip and pop with time as we walk on it.

why do dragon sculptures hold balls in their paws?

Almost every sculpture you see of a dragon has it holding a ball in one of its front paws. The only reason I can think of is it symbolizes the hold the mythological dragon had over the earth. Anyone know the true reason?
