Could you please stop using the adjective ‘elderly’ in your headlines. It is enough to state the age in the story.
Agree!
Wow George Carlin was right. ..
“Young-age lacking gender irrelevant individual ceases to exist while operating a bipedal non motorized form of transportation. “
Geez, actually George’s thoughts on what he would like to be referred too was an”0ld fuck”. Elderly as in elders is a term of respect as opposed to an old person which is not . I would’ve just said “a 75 year old man”.
I’m sorry there is nothing we can do. The woke virus has gotten to your brain.
Are you being serious? Is it now offensive to the woke that the adjective elderly was used??
There are bigger and better things to worry about then adjectives and pronouns.
Oh what is this world coming to?? #somepeoplesadultchildren
Condolences to the elderly man’s family may he rest in peace.
Watch who you are calling “elderly” please… Thanks so much!
The fact that he was an elder matters. It would matter if it was a young child too. It matters because now I’m wondering how in the hell we don’t have better public transportation in place for our seniors. 75 years old our riding down state street? He was either super in shape and just fell with no helmet or he was impoverished.
There’s not much in between. At least that’s where my mind goes.
What good is reporting if the facts are not layed out. Since when is “elderly ” a bad word. I thought is was a polite way of saying old.
“Elderly man runs for President”…
Well why not, that’s what they do when a woman runs…
Or hell even a young man will get called “the youngest man ever to run for president”
He might have liked riding a bicycle. Many people do. There isn’t a cause of death. It is possible he had a medical emergency causing him to fall off of his bicycle.
May he rest in peace.
He may well be riding because he did it for exercise or fun. I’m almost 70 and spouse is 81… and we ride.
…or he may have experienced a stroke or a heart attack while riding. (I personally would consider it “not a bad way to go.” )
The point is, now we are all talking about the definition of elderly instead if showing concern that an elder died right in front of us all on state street. This is a prime microcosmic slice of our world right now.
Does anyone know his name?
First name Elderly, last name Man according to the headline. RIP Mr Elder.
