Here’s a version of Hallelujah sung by a Catholic Priest some months back that got 36 million views on YouTube...

Adding up the dates simplistically, Methusala died the year of the flood.

I won’t even entertain the idea that there is an actuarial “optimum age to die”. The whole idea is, as another poster said, ghoulish.


I firmly agree. Every person is unique. I think of it in a sort of “elephants live this long, cats live this long, dogs live this long, flies live this long and humans live this long” sort of way.

It’s not a political question. It’s a biological question.

That is, until the government noses it’s way into the whole thing. Which is why I cancelled all health insurance January 1st. I will not be told by the state how to manage my health. Period. It violates the constitution on many overt levels.

"We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic."
Ezekiel, you are already pathetic.

Fine. then if he reaches 75, he needs to not be a hypocrite and he needs to set the example and do himself in.

Like I could see THAT happening......

75 is, apparently, the perfect age for a human to buy the farm. According to Emanuel, people who live longer than that risk struggling through a less-than-perfect existence.

So when has life been 'perfect'?

There are moments, but overall, life is a series of actions which spurred by external stimuli, over which we often have no control. This life isn't 'perfect' by human standards, only by the standards of He who knows His plan for us all, and only if we do His will.

“she was an avid voter until 91, when her dementia wouldn’t allow her to vote anymore”.

I hope you continued to ‘assist’ her in voting!.
