Unfortunately for you, you’re going to have to care.

That’s your first naturally selfish reaction, but when reality strikes, you’ll have to care, because I will have an input on you.

But they do retire, even if they can comeback in some other dimension.

Come to Toronto. We have retirement parks getting build now. You can do your tai chi, reading and farting all out in the open.

POINT taken and duly noted.

Throw you a$$ off the cliff in your wheelchair just like the Paul Ryan targeted depiction in the 2012 DNC TV commercial.

Actually, you'll be lucky even to have a wheelchair.

BTW, you can take BeatDBall, maj, and nitro over the precipice with you.

Is answered with another question: What am I doing for MYSELF to protect and secure my living in my own old age.

The harsh reality of life though is that there are some people who work for minimum wage and are unable to properly secure themselves. What happens to those "some people"?

Your grandmother*: ask her why she insisted you get educated.
How many poor people in our islands live to 100 void of shitie-ass materialism that prevents stress free longevity...

The outer point is many of our generation* SQUANDER their security, then look for support after the fete is over.

*proverbial, not literally (not you, not yours)

lol lol lol

I hope you realize this is a really serious question.


Only nick202 and Pelon have started to broach the subject. Just look around you, life expectancy is increasing.


I posted the question the way I did, expecting to get some funny responses, but also hoping for some serious reflection on the subject of aging and living longer.

This is serious business.
