Government Shutdown!?!?

Er...... what?

Ageist much? You know, ageism is only a small step or two away from racism.

Do you have the vaguest idea how idiotic that statement was?

Age has nothing to do with this. Yes, its happened before, yes it'll happen again. But that doesn't mean that it shouldn't concern those directly affected by a government shutdown, nevermind those who aren't.
It may appear as a game to some, but when it comes to affecting people's lives' it is no longer a game.
Don't look down on those who are concerned and who want to see changes made to correct the problems in government. If there is anyone who is to be looked down on, it is those who see the problem, understand the problem, and simply write it off as "the way things are".

Age, in this context, equals a greater timeframe in which to have aquired direct experience and wisdom. Which allows a better judgement to be made about the actual threat level in this latest example.

I think your interpretation of this as "looking down on" is inaccurate and far from the intention of the quoted post.

I cannot comment on your political structure as, especially as in regards to situations like this one, it is radically different to the one in my country where something like this would simply not be tolerated even if it were actually possible.

I would say, if you want to prevent those involved thinking this is a legitimate game, vote for a different type of person.
