That's no doubt true, but you didn't really answer the question. I didn't because I thought it was a rhetorical question. But if you really want to know, I'm not sure what I would do. Without having gone through the experience, it's easy to say that you would do the right thing. But I'm not cocky e...

Her greater claim to fame, and where she really got her celebrity was in marrying a nearly dead rich guy. I don't think that was how she became famous, but how she got most of her money, and why her child is now worth a fortune. Trust me, no one remembers a Playboy centrefold. They are a dime a doz...

Dan, if you could just will the disappearance of a particular portion of humanity, would you do it (given "change" rather than disappear is not on the table)? Those who say "no" are clearly lying or stupid. Interesting mind experiment. My answer is that with great power comes gre...

David,
Isn't chiding people an elitist activity in itself?
There is that element in it, but I would take into account the motive for chiding. It's 'ok' if your motives are pure.

But as has been said ealier in the read, like terrorists, mindless bimbos just pop into the scene to replace those that have fallen. It's not the mindless bimbos' fault -- the culprit are the men who love blonde bimbos but wouldn't give intelligent self-respecting women the time of day. They make i...

Jamesh said,
Anna Nicole Smith - nice to see that she is dead.

Now we want Paris, Lindsay and Britney to die quickly in a similar manner, and I will be most pleased.
I wonder if Nat never saw this. 'Cuz to be fair, Jamesh should've also been chided for this elitist attitude.

Rats. This was just starting to get fun.

It was nice interacting with you, Nat, for the half day that it lasted. Whatever you do, take care of your body.

Bryan, It is interesting to note that becoming married for the first time does not lead to noticeable health benefits, whereas a divorced man's health may plummet, recovering only when he remarries. Marriage proves a powerful, life-threatening addiction. ................ The unmarried woman lives ev...

Nat, I'm not trying to tar and feather Dan here, so you have nothing to worry about. I always knew that, but I did wonder if other people reading your post got the wrong idea. As long as Dan didn't explicitly say that killing people for the crime of having reached 60 should be considered, I'm ok wit...

Funerals

However, he did advocate it earlier in the thread (probably in a joking manner).
OK, I'll check back and see if I can find this.

Edit:

Nat,
However, it's good to see you've distanced yourself from it to some extent, Dan.
Distanced? When did Dan advocate killing people for their age?

Funerals

I go to funerals of (1) people I knew and loved in life, or of (2)people that were very close to someone I knew and loved. I do (2) for myself, not the dead. It helps me get some closure, and to face emotionally what I already intellectually know -- that they are gone. One silly consequence of me no...
