[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm older, so I don't mind at all.

But I remember my mom going INSANE because my brother's girlfriend and future wife said to her, "you're adorable!"

She absolutely freaked the F out ever after abuot that ... who does she think she is etc.[/quote]

I wouldn’t like that either, as an older woman, but probably wouldn’t freak out. Something about that coming from a young person sounds dismissive and condescending.  Doesn’t bother me at all an elderly person calls me hon, sweetie, etc.[/quote]

Why do you give old people a pass but not young people?[/quote]

DP here, but in my culture we respect elder people and respect other countries' traditions. [/quote]

So you should respect that in this culture, we don't want to be called pet names? I don't think an old disrespectful person should be treated differently from a young disrespectful person. [/quote]

I respect that in your culture you don't call people pet names. I also respect that in others people culture, they call people honey, sweety. You can treat other people any way your upbringing, education or IQ allows you, I really don't care. If you choose to treat older people with disrespect because they are disrespectful to you, it is your choice. [/quote]
