    Wow, that seems like quite the overreaction. He's not offering to decide for you.

    Yet. He's already decided quite a bit for me, when it comes to health care.

    Lets take this a step further

    This guy bases a lot of his argument on productivity towards society. Fuck it, lets take age out of the equation. That would remove a lot of voters that would stand behind this shit bag.

    And a lot of voters who wouldn't, as well.

    I want to live long enough to see any grandchildren I might get. With as late as I started, I might have to live to 80 to see them. I doubt I'll live much longer than that, anyway.

    You kind a remind me when I was play golf. I was telling folks I was getting close to scoring my age. But time kept on pace and I stayed about the same.
    Then I realized the achievement was going to be much good, I was going to make it but I still wasn't going to break 80.
    Screw it, I moved on.

    He's free to off himself at any time. The world would be a better place.

    A sad man with self esteem deficiencies and a distorted image of how other people think, live and adjust to later life.

    But he had little to do with Obamacare. That's Mitt Romney's creation.

    Don't be fooled, this isn't about one guy wanting to die before he risks the infirmities of old age--this is about death panels.

    The only reason that mandatory age limits (of 75) weren't included in Obamacare was because patriots decried death panels and made them politically unfeasible back then. How do you make them politically feasible again? With blatant advertisements for how it's wonderful to die early...you know, like this article.

    Yeah, that guy with the opinion I disagree with contributes less than nothing to the entire planet. He should kill himself

    His graph for productivity and creativity shows 80 year olds in a virtual tie with 25 year olds. Strong argument against his own premise. Then again, in his case his mental acuity is deteriorating, if his article is at all representative.

    Guys like him CAN make policy that will decide if you get medical care at 75.

    It's ironic that you'd argue the constitution is a worthless piece of paper and government grants us our liberties. Well, why wouldn't they grant us the right to live or not past 75 in your version of the future?

    Besides, if they don't have to dole out Social Security benefits past 75, there's more money to spend on booze and hookers.

    I haven't read this thread, but every time I see the title I figure it's either about nudity, farting, or pooping out in the bushes alongside a road.

    It's ironic that you'd argue that pedophilia is perfectly okay and that you'd engage in it if it were legal.

    SO MANY IRONIC THINGS!

    One of us is making stuff up, and it isn't me.

    How bizarre you are sometimes.

    Sure, link me the post where I've argued that the Constitution is worthless.
