Being old..

  Sucks.
  
  Live hard, die young.
  
  I don't want to be hooked up to an oxygen tank and not be able to wipe my own ass.
  
  Discuss?

  the old cat is really sad because he can't jump up on his favorite sofa anymore.

  People are living too long anyway. That's one of the contributing factors to the world's overpopulation.

  Meh. I intend on raising my Kids good so that they'll either take care of me themselves or find me a good place, regardless of the price.
  If I get too old to take care of myself, though, I'll probably just 'fall' down the stairs. ;D

  Yeah. I don't want to be old to the point where I can't think correctly and can't do things on my own, I would feel useless.
  
  Also the fact that nobody finds you attractive at that age, except people that age, lol, but that's gross and I wouldn't enjoy sex. I guess I wouldn't think about sex that much though, I would probably become a workaholic or something like that. If you think about it, living like that is not living at all. I would prefer to die.

  Because of the sex? xD Pshaw. Some of us can't have it at a young age, either, because normal sex is boring.
  Sigh. If that's your reason, I feel old right now.

  That's not my only reason :p
  
  As I said, maybe I won't care about sex when I'm that old, but thinking about having sex with an old guy is like ew.
  
  And what do you mean with 'normal sex'? XD

  Excercise a lot, and you won't get there even when you are really old.

  I don't wanna be die old either, but I don't want to die young. Plus, if I do get married, living to either of the extremes could leave my spouse living without me or I without them.
  
  So I'm with you.

  Let's just say average sex :P I'm one of the rare ones who has very.. unique standards when it comes to that.
  
  And heh, I understand, though. I wonder if it changes when you're older?

  Uh. A fetish. More common than you think. Stop trying to be Mr. Unique.

  Just workout sometimes. And eat the right things. It's okay to cheat sometimes. Don't stress. Be happy as well. Go to the Doctor for a check-up at least every 6 months or once a year.
  
  By doing all this, you'll grow up to be healthy. Any terrible disease might be able to be prevented if discovered early (e.g. cancer). And being stress-free definitely allows you to live longer and better.
  
  I don't worry about growing old. It's gonna happen, like it or not. What I worry about is what I can do to make that road trip to old age less bumpy and less rough.

  you can age very gracefully if you make good life choices. (mostly dependant on things like alcohol consumption and drugs) good eats and exercise is indispensible.
  
  phunks got it right, but sometimes health problems bite you in the ass and there is really nothing you can do but succumb with them or the effects of treatment. they tend to be genetic.
  
  instead of overpopulation, the major problem with the aging population is medical care, retirement costs.. majority of old people in america have a plethora of diseases like osteoporosis, alzheimers... cardiac disease.. the risk of getting them as you age literally multiplies the older you go.
  
  my mother still insists the best years of your life will be in your 40s.
