So please abandon me - and stop taking my resources when you do. |

And I think we should start embracing that and letting "seniors" (and all humanity) know this. Quoting: New Atlantis We are souls temporaily in human form. perhaps but it depends on which corner of heaven you come from, there are different priorities and life charts for the groups, and if you fail to meet those and seek your own wants while here you are forced to repeat a similar life. so like a reincarnation loop is likely during plagues. |

Over 60 is age most likely to die from the virus. WOW your dumb Ever disease has higher rates of death for older people. What your really saying is save the young.. But the reality is the old have paid the most into taxes and the system They have the most resources Most under 35 people have little to no savings and have paid little in taxes and into the system you have zero logic If you really want go ahead and sacrifice your older family members now to save resources for you Psycho |

Since we're on the subject of who lives and who dies in order to save society, what about snowflakes or the disabled, or people who won't work or fill in the blank _______? It's a slippery slope.Once people agree it's okay to allow one group to die, it becomes much easier to decide which group is next. |

But tomorrow the elderly will be 50, and then 40. If you are willing to do away with one group, then why not others? Blacks? Mexicans? Whites? It's not for us to decide who dies and who lives. Civilized societies do not do that. We aren't Nazis. |

User ID: 76792340 United States 03/26/2020 05:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | T4 Euthanasia Program: Started in 1939 by Adolf Hitler was Nazi German euthanasia program to kill incurably ill, physically or mentally disabled, and elderly people. I used to think no fuckin way in hell Americans would go along w/ that. I stand corrected now. This is what Hitler started w/ far as extermination on mass scale. It should've been the first red flag for Germans to put a bullet in Hitler's head. But the Germans bought the idea it would help the economy. If America tried to indirectly pull this shit the 2nd Amendment would get one helluva workout. 70% success rate in magick |

PS - I'm pretty old myself and last thing I want is too hang around in a body that has had it, being propped up at exorbitant expense and being a general nuisance to everyone around me. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. |
