Old, relating to a human, is pejorative. But where did I say I considered old to be bad? "Old people, "old man" and "old lady" (unless your a biker) are put downs and you know it. People are denied jobs even for "getting old"--it starts in the 30's for some women, late 40's for many males. If a 3' person says he's not offended by the term midget that does not men that it might offend other person's of the same height. There are other even more obvious examples I prefer not to mention as even using them as an example would be taken as various -isms. Mushrooms are "perfectly natural" but can cause vomiting, respiratory paralysis and death. Anyway, no point in wasting anymore of my finite time earth consorting with a bigot.
