so you won't retire ever?
you'll just put a bullet between your own eyes and save society the trouble of looking after you?
no obviously not because that expectation would be insane
You need to learn to read. I never said anything about people not being allowed to retire. I was talking about people getting too old.
And yes if I ever become too old, I'll go out on my own terms.
maybe you should leech some lessons on behaving like a normal human from society
Maybe you should leech some lessons on human civilization, history and socioeconomics.
You're flipping out here over a rational argument.
ah yes history
that time in the past when we executed old people for being old
truly you have a dizzying intellect
oooh that's a good one we can pop it in your book of quotes
it can go next to the one where you said we should just murder all the old people for the sake of society
Zero reading comprehension in you huh? You're just a liberal shill with no thought in your head. Or are you actually so evil that you want humanity to suffer and stagnate under gerontocracies?
"are you so evil that you don't want me to go around shooting the folks at the nursing home in the face for sport?"
You really think going around shooting young people is morally better than letting old people die humanely?
the best analogy you could scrape together was one that doesn't make sense and doesn't apply in this situation? good job
Monkey do as monkey see. Say nonsensical shit and you get the same back.
you're right: "we should have just let all the oldies die" is nonsensical shit
i'm glad we're agreed and can close the book on this
It's almost funny how oblivious you are.
Keep slaving away for all your money to go to people in retirement who have worked half as much as you have.
i agree the only solution to the above is to let them all die of a preventable disease
if you get any smarter your head will start to have its own gravitational pull
You really just wanna see all of humanity die in poverty huh? What a philanthropist you are.
yes that's definitely the natural progression of events as you've laid them out
if we don't murder everybody who's ever seen the insides of a bingo hall, that's it for society
Hey you're the one arguing for murdering humanity. I'm only arguing for murdering a slice of it.
you're preaching to the choir here i fed my nan into the woodchipper 40 minutes ago
my family complained a bit but i explained to them that unless we liquidate anybody old enough to remember the cuban missile crisis that humanity was heading towards certain and inescapable doom and that if they had any questions they could direct them towards an expert i knew on human civilization, history and socioeconomics
Good you're finally getting it. Maybe you'll reconsider trying to doom all future generations then just so the current ones can live in luxury until their end.
i'll get the deathsquads on the phone
not sure why you did the whole song and dance at the beginning to pretend that that wasn't what you wanted but ho-hum i suppose
You're the one who keeps pretending to care about human life while also cheering at the increasing suffering and death caused by overaging societies.
I've been open about letting the old die in peace when they become unable to live a fulfilling life on their own anymore.
yes the "suffering" caused by in increase in life expectancy is definitely worse than the suffering caused by deliberately killing off everybody's grandparents with novel and fun pathogens
this is sound socioeconomic policy and your understanding of how the world works is exactly as good as you think it is
but you're getting boring now repeating the same old things can you throw out another hilariously shit take for me?
Nah I can't be bothered anymore to think of any new ways to demonstrate how stupid your takes are.
