I wouldn't go so far... but my personal motto is that people should get the exact amount of respect they give to others.

I'd argue that the circumstances that have brought about such impropriety in our elders is a product of modern society... boomers are spoiled entitled brats. As my father, who's of Boomer age, but grew up in the third world put it:

'They got their way in every major junction of their development, and now they're trying to argue with the fate they've created'

But yeah. Age is not synonymous with maturity.
