Well the older you live the more you can experience then pass that along...when im too old to do much ill just do art... I mostly do digital art at a computer so that requires sitting down...I could paint....I already enjoy knitting and crocheting....oooo or have so much time to read! Yay for getting old!

A statement from a very young person that is able to get on line and show to everyone else some childish ignorance. Probably lives with mommy and has not worked or really done any thing worthwhile. A hint -- Try to put your young mind to work at doing something usefull, not for yourself, but, for another. Then you can be gratefull to the 'older' people that fought and struggled to provide the freedoms you are abusing by being so stupid.
I intend to live long enough to see all of my smart ass friends die before me.

I guarantee if you live to 66 you won't kill yourself.

Since when was life entirely about being agile? You think once you struggle to move around at speed, you might as well commit suicide?

By 70, you might have life-long friends, a family who loves you (children, maybe grandchildren too), you've probably retired and have all that free time to spend on hobbies and travelling... Why wouldn't you live long enough to see your children grow up, become independent, become proper adults, have families of their own? Or to spend as much time as possible with your wife/husband/partner, growing old together and feeling loved? Or to see as much of the world as you possibly can before you kick the bucket?

Just because you've got dodgy knees and a weak hip?

I expect you're a young teenager and are speaking from a lack of experience and fore-thought. I'm sure I felt the same way at 14.

Life is what you make it, and you can make it pretty fucking good if you work hard at it for 70 years. Give up the minute you get a receding hairline and you don't deserve your patch of earth.

If you think 66 is 'really old' for your generation, you are probably 20 years off.
I know active happy people in their 80's who are having a ball in life.
If you are the kind who spends his life behind a computer screen, you'll probably be the kind who goes into an old folks home in Fla to just wait to die.
I'm 68, sailing the Caribbean on a sailboat with my 26 year old wife. Do you honestly think I'm living boringly until my death?
Life is what you choose to make of it, and your death will be the same.

I really appreciate what "Life The Ride" said. I feel the same way.

Yeahhh, but I guess one must estimate their health status as they go along. Some people are ridiculously fit after age 60 or 70. Haven't you ever heard of the Senior Olympics? Not all of them are decrepit. Google this: age 90 yoga

Johanna Quaas is a German gymnast who is over age 85!

Like, its impressive! There was also Jack LaLanne. Ever take a look at Sylvester Stallone? He takes all kinds of medical/pharmaceutical goodies + he's proactive about keeping in the shape he wants to achieve. Looks like you can go out with a bang at a later date.

I agree. I wouldn't want to live past 69.

You don't have to live to your 70s+ if you don't want to. I'd rather see someone live to the age they want to die at than force him or her to live to advanced old age if the person doesn't even have the desire to.

People think being old is a great thing. It really isn't. It's more of a curse.

I expected to die at 21 at the hand of a jealous wife. It didn't work out that way. Now I live to piss off 20 year olds.

It depends on your quality or life and your mindset, some people are old since they've been young and some people are in great shape at 70. As long as you aren't bedridden or senile you should try to enjoy life cause we all do die in the end.

That sounds like quite a bang to go out with. Very memorable. Your memory shall live on in the tales of your death.

(Wait until you get to that age and you may find that your prospective has changed... Or, not.)

when i hit 66 im getting shot out of a giant cannon attached to a glowing neon plane at night flying over the grand canyon while dressed up as superman with the cape and everything also i there will be a shit load of fireworks going off that i will be flying through and on the bottom will be a massive trampoline in which i will bounce up from then then crowd will be legally able to fire ak47s at me until i die. im going to make this a public event and charge 20 bucks a ticket. the earnings will go to my next of kin. im not gunna die like no chump in a depressing ass rest home.

Dont you dare ruin the fireworks for everyone else you old bag!!
