The old people (most talented people) are not respected by the society. The people who are styllish and useless are respected by the people in the society. Do you agree with me?

First, no one is "useless". To answer your question, there is very little respect for other people regardless of their age (as your "useless" statement proves). The media and movies have created the illusion that youth is more valuable then wisdom. People no longer have time to spend with the elderly. Elderly people are by nature and age, slower. We live in such a selfish and fast paced society, we hardly make time for the family we live with. Secondly, self-respect is more important than the respect we get from society.

oh indeed i agree.... the fashionistas are all the rage and respect for others is way on the back burner!
Til the 70's kids and teens and young adults wanted to be musicians NOW they want to be PERSONALITIES like paris hilton... there were personalities back then but the TALENT came FIRST. the popular young ones are fasionistas and talentless except at shopping and posing.
just 1 example...
I thing the internet is responsible for alot of the me me me stuff but that will change over time. In the old days the Web would probably have made people feel 'bigger' and would have fueled more of this behavior but they felt small and had to EARN respect and recognition of their REAL TALENTS.

I am an old person. More often than not old people are not taken seriously. As an example you could not be a contestant on American Idol if you are over 28, Joan of Arcadia was canceled becasue the majority of viewers were in their 50's, and several people on All My Children are getting killed off because they are too old. I like to drink, smoke, gamble, and chase after beautiful chicks. Sadly, I disrespect old people becasue they allow themselves to be old. Go figure!

No not always but frequently.
people always interested in sexy singers models , not intellectuallity of people . People interested in how their @ss look like . So if you want to have respect wear stylish clothes and act in a cool way. No need to read books an improve your brain .

Old people are always respected.........................whether they are talented or not. They are respected coz they are experienced and they are wise. its utter foolishness to think that stylish people are respected.
