We are judged by how we treat the most vulnerable in our society.
We are taught to respect our elders and to love and honor our parents.

To do anything less is abominable.

I'm in my fifties.

Please leave me to die.

Also, leave me the fuck alone and start paying for shit yourselves!!

More than 60pct of what I earn gets gobbled up in taxes - from the feds to the state to the gas to phone tax property tax, tax on my vehicles - hell, nearly 10pct sales tax.

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

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
We need a balanced plan to beef up our capacity to treat the ill, protect the old as best we can via social distancing, and protecting our economy naturally (not by massive money printing bailouts) while trying to minimize spread through distancing and quick reactions to hot spots.


With everyone home we have no idea who was at the store when so and so was there spreading the virus. If they are at work we know exactly who they contacted
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76549089

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
There is no point letting old people die. They have wisdom and knowledge that are very useful to society. It's a wholly different case with people of breeding age, it is very good for the gene pool to weed out the weak.

 Quoting: Callin


Did not say kill them. Just mean stabilize life for those who can survive it. Over 60 is age most likely to die from the virus.
 Quoting: Baby Xoda


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

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
My husband and I are 62 so anyone who thinks we should just die - fuck you very much.

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.

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
The problem with that is today it is the elderly 60 plus. 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.

Even if the kill rate were 20% o cannot for a moment fathom the response we've had these last few weeks.

That's the problem when others make decisions about what to do with YOUR resources.

It's not okay to steal as an individual.

But if you're a member of the mob, mob-sanctioned theft is just fine.

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
In the past, all great civilizations greatly respected and revered their elderly.

Any "society" that tosses their elderly aside, or calls for their elimination, will forfeit their OWN chance for life eternal.

The wrath of God will fall on all scum who call for the demise of the elderly.

Bank on it.

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
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.

Re: To save society and civilization would we just let the elderly die?
Yes - you can't collapse society because some elderly and unfit might pop their clogs. Hell half the elderly in care homes should be put down as it is - they are not enjoying life and would welcome a quick and dignified exit and if they are not competent to make a decision one should be made for them.

The body is just a vehicle for the spirit when it wears out time to let it go and move on.

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.
