Old Age

Saw it in action today, does it make you feel you volunteered for it too early?

Re: Old Age

Personally I've never seen a truly old person. I would like to meet one and chat about their experiences and understand of life as they must know a great deal.

The only people I have ever seen are the extremely young 80-100 year olds who like everyone else have been conditioned to believe that that's an old age and a "good innings".

The truly old people are 900 or more years old.

Care to cite your evidence?

Re: Old Age

Some old folks are unaware of biblical stuff, and revert to previous personal experience, that's the way it is.

And your personal experience is based on what testable evidence?

Do you mean that you felt old today, Spitty, or you saw a very old person walking along the road?

There are no 900-year olds as far as I know, except for Dr. Who. The "old" tend to prefer being called "elderly".

Re: Old Age

Is this a five minute argument or the full hour? I've encountered numerous people who are in "God's waiting room" at 60 and wondered why, 60 is the new 40. My view is you're as young as you feel.
