The Daily Reveille
In this article, Ryan Sands is talking about how old people irk him. He says that they not only drain social security, but also take forever in line at the supermarket. He says that he is not heartless, but he has never been around the elderly since his grandparents were dead when he was born. He seems to be taking his anger out on others who still have their grandparents or are close to someone elderly. Sands goes on to say that he cannot talk to someone over the age of 70 without getting anxious. He then begins to talk about why there are benefits to getting old. He says that retirement homes are slutty and they are one of the highest sources of STDs. He ends by saying that if he were in a retirement home, he wouldn’t care if he caught gonorrhea. This article is definitely opinionated and very biased. The author did no research when writing this article, he just spoke what he felt. At the end of the article, he begins to lose his mind and talk about old people and sex.

Wow, the author seems like a disturbed man. I would disregard anything and everything that he said. Old people may be slower, but they are people just like me and you. They deserve to be treated with respect.
This seems like an intresting article to read. I can relate to the author because old people are often slower than most. The author is defentily bias and he says why when he states that he has not been around the elderly since he was young. He does not show facts about retirement homes being the highest source of STDs so i dont know if he is joking or not.
