Are you old?

Or younger even....

Old is a state of mind, until your body starts falling apart....;-D

 

Physically no I'm young. Mentally at occasions I find my mind drifting in to an older stand point

 

QFT... Seems that way.

 

I......oh,shit....now,what did I come in here for?.......

 

i've been the age i am since i was 12. currently i'm 65. i still seem to be mostly in one piece though. my dad had serious problems at my age, but my mom made it to 91. mandela made it to 94 and there are others in this world still going strong in their 90s. all of us who were actually there in the 60s are getting along in years now.

many young people who have been taught distortions of what we were about then, are experiencing many of the same challenges and political situations as we did, though many of them seem to think we had it easier or stayed high all the time, or whatever nonsense history, as told by media then and now, has been feeding them.

 

I'm not old-but I have trouble convincing my knees of that!

 

I have a few wrinkles here & there but are young at heart & like to think I'm much younger than I am.

 

Wow, am I old.

:2thumbsup:

 

1) each decade of my life some things got better and some got worse

2) worse/better? what does this mean? more or less conciderate of each other? better or worse informed?

3) mostly no. i've seen a lot of things go down hill since the deregulation that began in the 80s, but there have been culturally endemic problems since long before that. long before i was born even. and some things have improved, even improved significantly. or did for a while.

4) which things? some yes.

5) again which things? again some yes.

6) not especially. i usually have to pee. and then i need to eat something. but other then that, no.

7) i have my own personal room. i do not live with people i'm biologically related to, and the people i do live, respect each other's rooms and habits.

8) technology is a very broad term. a flaked obsidian knife is technology. the only evil is aggressiveness and the tyranny and other harm that it causes

9) two of them in fact. and a 3d printer that's currently on the fritz. and several kinds of model railroad.

10) i've owned several. i don't currently. i don't wish to live in a fish bowl and there isn't anyone i'm willing to do so to keep in touch with. when i did, it was nice having a clock and a tetris game in the same device. both of which it got more use as then for communication with anybody.

11) no, i'm not on either of those. in many ways for the same reason i don't currently own a phone.

12) i feel neither young nor old. though i do believe i've lived long enough to have earned call myself not young

13) neither. it is becaue my bladder wakes me up and tells me to.

14) to/with who? no. not even.

15) all wars are something that is unfortunate, and nearly all of them immoral

16) oh yes, and android and ps-1 and all that, other then x400. i'm not familiar with that one.

17) trending what?

18) is there some reason i should care.

19) well they've had less opportunity to collect data. but so many older people haven't taken advantage of their opportunities to do so either.

20) nope. don't think i ever did that much when i was young either. probably why i didn't get layed when i was a teenager.

21) i listen to what i damd well enjoy. nither hip nor friends have jack to do with it.

22) society is redundant. i try to avoid making people feel bad. what they think of me is what they will.

23) again there's this "world" bussiness. i think there are certain combinations that exist that are a very unwise path to be on.

24) i've never understood the gratifcation of screwing anything up just to be doing so

25) the day i need a replacement hip, i'll probably let them give me the little white pill they gave my wife.

26) i have observations of reality that i feel people are screwing themselves by choosing to remain ignorant of. they don't need me to hear them from though. it isn't about me, at all.

27) books and movies about things i can see for myself on any street at any time are mostly pointless. doesn't have anything to do with the age of the characters or of the audience its aimed at. i like eye candy, but i also like real speculative fictions that center around engineering, science and technology, that you can almost only find in books.

28) yup. every chance i can. on issues. because they interest me more then personalities or ideologeis.

29) i abstain on races for offices by people i know nothing about.

30) while i do remember the name, some sort of actors, again i've always been more interested in props and settings

31) i have one med for my heart. i don't normally consume recreational chemstry.

32) i found them to be nongratifying. and i don't believe, if we lived in a more honest culture, there'd be a whole lot of market for them.

33) its not about MY need. and what precisely, is this "world" of which you speak?

34) people have always been in too big a hurry for their own good. maybe someday, long after i'm gone, they won't.

35) neither. i just see people who will experience living a different collection of decades then i have.

36) define "does not matter"? everthing effects everything else. some to greater and lesser degree.

37) nonaplicable. i'm not about personalities anyway. but aggressiveness IS the most harmful and distructive force in all of existence.

38) i feel neither young nor old. i was born feeling ageless and i still do, and most likely still will when i die.

39) nope. i wish certain things had still existed, and that others that hadn't yet had, during the first 30 years of my life. personal computers and the internet did not exist yet, but interurbans and narrow gauge were mostly long gone, pretty much anywhere in america.

40) humans (probably) haven't built one that dreams of anything, yet. but philip k dick was a pretty damd good writer

41) no, but i'd rather not be forced to listen to anything that romatacizes aggressiveness

42) 9/10ths of everything is crap. people just disagree on which things the crap is.

43) no. because i do care.

44) i'm more concerned with the kind of world, i, along with you, and everyone else, has to live in, then what anyone thinks of me, personally as a person.

well, if i thought i was actually going to live for 150 years, i'd consider myself somewhere in the middle. but i'm not going to fool myself, i'll be lucky to see another 20 years or even ten.

i don't feel young or old. i just know statitically there are most likely fewer years ahead of me then behind.
