Modern life expectancy, elderly suffering, and nursing homes
Tags: life expectancy, nursing home, assisted living, health, medicine
I kill myself or not, when I’m 80 years old? We spend all of our lives working hard, and it all leads to a glorious retirement spent swallowing pills and having medical procedures performed in order to squeeze out every minute we have left. I’m a cigarette smoker, and have heard many other smokers say they don’t want to live to be 80 in regard to the years cigarettes shave off of life. That may not be such a bad idea, because as humans we weren’t really meant to live as long as the current life expectancy, with much thanks to modern medicine and technology. Humans were made and meant to mature to adulthood, breed and produce offspring, teach those offspring survival skills, and pass away between 25-35 years old. This is the basic function of life that many other animals display, without the support of modern medicine to interfere with the cycle of life. So what is wrong with living to a ripe old age? My problem is the quality of life our Senior Citizens experience, especially when subjected to assisted living facilities and nursing homes.
Happy 420, most of our country is high on weed all day!
Tags: marijuana, 420, weed, legalizationThis evening, you will observe a lot of people at the grocery store randomly buying bags of chips and other junk food. Their eyes will be bloodshot, and they might smell of a similar strange fragrance. To the normal person this might appear odd, but the rest of us know that today is a celebration for folks who smoke marijuana. April 20th is dubbed a marijuana holiday in our drug culture, where people get together and smoke cannabis. To summarize, there are a ton of people out there today who will be high. I didn’t realize the holiday had arrived, until I saw a group of my neighbors on their back porch last night firing up around 1am. Then it made sense, and I remembered the times when I would be one of those people getting high on 4/20. Yes, I have smoked weed in the past and have a strong preference for it. I was quite the pothead, smoking up to an estimated 5-6 times daily. I fondly remember 4/20 on my senior year of college, where my girlfriend at the time and I smoked 8 grams of hydro that day (marijuana grown in water, and highly potent). [...more]
Is it unprofessional that women tend to be too emotional in the workplace?
Tags: women, workplace, gossip, hillary clintonMy thoughts were how cold it was to dump your girlfriend over the phone while she’s chomping down on Sushi at lunch. I watched as a co-worker was torn apart from her conversation with her boyfriend, the tears were flowing. Next, all the women gathered around and were comforting her. I have broken off relationships and been dumped, but never let it effect my work. Never in my life have I ever shown the office that something was wrong, I simply do my work. I even found out my Mother had passed away at 10:00 am, and finished out the day without a sign of anything being wrong. So why do women put on a big show? [...more]
Myspace.com – Why is it such a cesspool? "Whorespace"
Tags: myspace, predator, underageYou hear it on TV, and people talk about it in passing by. Occasionally, you hear a story about some 12 year old girl who was prayed upon by a online predator. Is your kid on Myspace? Chances are they are and you don’t even realize it. Myspace is the hip thing that is tearing through the schools. Everyone is online, and everyone has their blog or profile posted.
I know this from first hand experience. I have a younger cousin who has added me on Myspace. Yes, I use it and think it is great with keeping in contact with past friends from school. She’s 14, and has sluttier pictures posted than [...more]
Why won’t my girlfriend have sex with me after 3 years? The Promise… Ring.
Tags: abstinence, celibacy, God, virginI am frustrated in the worse way, let me bring you up to speed. My love and I have known each other for almost 8 years now, and dated for several years. She is my best friend, and I am going to spend the rest of my life with her. We broke up for almost a year and have gotten back together in the past couple months. Being together for so long, it is obvious that we were intimate. As a matter of fact, I lost my virginity to her. This leads me up to my current problem… she’s now a born-again virgin!
It started with her having some personal issues towards the end of our relationship before we split up. She had some dark times (maybe more to come on that later), and now has a more extensive list of [...more]
