I am 21, when talking to some older people they think that throwing their age out there is supposed to make me shut up. I'm just wondering so I can put it in my calender so I have something to look forward to.

Dead.
Very hard to be wrong when you don't say or do anything.
Anyone younger than dead will be wrong several times a day.

No age is exempted from being, doing, saying or even thinking something that is wrong. There is even a greater repercussion to older people doing wrong things than do the younger ones because the older ones are supposed to have been matured by their experiences & gained wisdom.

I think 90 is a good age. In my experience, those who live to be 90 and still have most of their marbles are delightful people. I once had a 90 year old patient who told me she had a See's chocolate every morning for breakfast. I'd say she earned it! So why not let someone who's 90 be right? By the time you're that age, you should be able to say "what the hell!" and do anything you want.
Anyway, for all of those people under 90 who are self-righteous, abrasive know-it-alls, knock it off, will ya?

That is a very amusing question. I know exactly what you mean, too. Some people think age means knowledge. This obviously isn't always true. More often, experience equals knowledge. In any case, I'd have to say 0 years - 10 years. During those years, if you're right, no one cares; if you're wrong, no one cares.

Bibically speaking, some would say 12. As for persons over 21, you might want to remind them that maturity doesn't come with age,it comes with the acceptance of responsibility. Futhermore, although experience is a teacher, wisdom is the best teacher of all.

Nope... no such thing. You can be wrong at any age.
However, dealing with the whole elders are not wrong issue, that I can help you with. Basically, when they trot out their age as proof of being right, it has become a "Respect yer elders boy!!" issue.
So you tell them... "Well they say the new broom sweeps clean and all I see here is bunch of old fossils ready for the dumpster!" and then walk away.
If they expect you to respect them for their age, then they should respect you for your fresh outlook on ideas and willingness to try new things... If not, then don't give them a damn thing. Go hang with your own age, at least they give you the benefit of the doubt.
Works?

Age has nothing to do with it, It's all about gender. You are only exempt from being wrong if you are a woman and that's the law.... youll learn about that in due time.!!

It's past. The age was somewhere between 1 year and 18 months old.
