If your career and reputation is ruined by the truth of all your shortcomings being told, then you can't make bukoos of money by writing books and launching a speaking tour.

Just ask Mark Foley, Mark Sanford, or any other would be politician that's fallen from grace and missed the neverending paychecks.

Pretty shitty to have happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it on the rise in the coming years.

Man, you keep putting your foot in it, don't you?




LMNO
-Tourist since 1972.

It's called seeing just how deep my foot can go in it. Besides, I love knowing that i irrationally hate things that i don't hate.




Tastes good. And don't just take my word for it.

And just what's wrong with Puerto Ricans?

Cain,
Puerto Rican since birth

Nothing, aside from the way the cars with puerto rican tags drive on i4 towards disney property.

Or maybe they're just out to get me.

I'd take being stuck behind Canadian Blueheads going 40mph on I-4 than a group of possible DUI 20 year olds. The old people may annoy me, but they aren't going to run me off the road........usually.

The biggest problem on I-4 are either Tourists or Puerto Ricans. Both have tried to kill me more than a few times while driving to work in the summers.

So you say now.

Yeah, I do say now. This way of thinking could change after I go through the cliche mid life crisis, but until then i'll be the best 20 something life-all-figured-out know-it-all i can be.

[(and for having their own best interests at heart)]

So you say now.


I'm sorry you grew up in an environment where it was difficult-nigh-impossible to cultivate a good relationship with the elderly. An overabundance of them would grate on many people's nerves, including mine.

However, thinking and acting like it's somehow their fault for being old (and for having their own best interests at heart) is stupid and worthy of at least twice as much mockery as I've already endeavored to post.

My problems stem from the fact they do have their own best interests at heart, and their hearts are frail and have very few beats left. They're also a demographic with alarmingly high numbers (mainly caused by various era baby booms). I'm for democracy in a city-state republic sense, but I also must say democracy only works if its guided toward the preservation of a society, and not towards making things easier on those that have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. 

Translation: They vote about shit that is fucking my 22 year old self down the road. I'm well aware that shit rolls downhill, but if you can't control your bowel movements you really shouldn't be allowed to be at the top of the hill.

Also, to reiterate one of my chief problems with elderly, here's this:

I've both legit and groundless reasons for my dislike of the elderly. If the fact the AARP is the single largest membership organization in the world doesn't raise a red flag in your mind, then i'm guessing you're colorblind. Also never mind how lax laws are against the elderly. Example: Why are the elderly still not required to take a renewed license driving test? Everyone in their right mind can acknowledge a good percent of the elderly should not be allowed to operate heavy machinery in any form.


Though I'm sure I'm just mostly bitter about the elderly because I grew up in a town where the average age was 58, and I blame all elderly people for the miserably boring existence that molded me into the snarky asshole I am today. It's like hating the god that created you, complete with all the young whippersnapper angst to back it up.


As for how I wanna go, I care not. I would be content making it to 50, and would then be ready to get off the ride. No suicide though. Unless it were a quietus, and all the other old farts had to jump in the lake with me.

All my friends and family have been advised to smother me with a pillow should i even hit 80/at the first sign of me smelling like cabbage.  

why?

and, I didnt read the article, but I did hear it on the news today. It made me wonder who was the before-last WW1 veteran and how much attention he got.

I've a great deal of contempt for the elderly. Any and all problems in the world right now are a direct result of old people/their generations.

Plus the thought of living out the last of my days as a husk that shits myself continuously isn't something i like to entertain. I'd rather, and intend to, die young and spry.

Yes, because people have perfect memories and don't have a tendency to forget historical atrocities like world wars at the first chance they can.


You want people who were there around so they can tell their stories. You want their stories around so nobody the fuck ever forgets.

Kai,

Wonders what you'll say when the last Holocaust survivor dies.

What I'll probably say would revolve around me bitching about the fact the last holocaust survivor today wasn't jewish, and therefore no one cared.

Since you know, only 6 million died, and they were all jews.


And for the record, I can't stand the holocaust museum in DC for the sheer fact that 90% of the museum only covers/refers to the jewish victims, which is utter and complete bullshit.

And people are acting like they care.

Having read the article, I do.

He was 111. Albeit that means he was a crusty, smelly, resilient old fucker, he was still fucking 111. Plus he looked like skeletor with wrinkles. 

All my friends and family have been advised to smother me with a pillow should i even hit 80/at the first sign of me smelling like cabbage.  

And people are acting like they care.


In other news, he was the last surviving veteran of WW1. I guess now no one will ever be able to properly explain to me why the Kaiser's pointy hat pissed off a bunch of people.

You three are what I came here for. At least my mentality is understood.

I say get the fuck out of dodge.  You clearly don't respect this girl very much, save her the trouble of having to learn that later on.

Actually I do, which is part of the problem. I just find the entire clusterfuck of a situation hysterical.

She's a really cool girl. I enjoy having her around. I just can't handle a strong attachment from her currently, and that's the main problem.
