Okay. If we boomers really want to save Social Security we should all die as soon as possible.

[scarletwoman]

Problem solved!

[Duer 157099]

1. I'm in.

I think I finally understand why whales beach themselves en masse.

[scarletwoman]

8. Great metaphor. I hadn't thought of that, but it really fits.

I'm old. I'm so damn tired of fighting for a decent chance for the ordinary citizen to get a fair shake in this country. Since nothing I've done has really helped, I guess I should just get out of the way.

[Autumn]

2. I'm working on it,

getting there.

[Kaleva]

3. kicked and rec'd!

I'm at the tail end of the boomer generation so I'll one of the last.

[knowbody0]

4. i just need a good bag of opium

and i'll gladly fade away

[scarletwoman]

14. I think I'd like some good 'shrooms, myself.

Was always more into the psychedelics than the opiates.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Not me. I'm gonna be a corporation, that way I'll never die

:think:

[galileoreloaded]

6. Hurry the F#@# up, I need a job!!! n/t

[lynne]

7. You first. I never liked being the line leader.

[scarletwoman]

9. Not to worry. With the country in the shape it's in, I won't last much longer.

I'll try to use my last bit of strength to move further north, so I can catch an ice floe (if global warming hasn't melted them all) to float away on.

[tango-tee]

27. In my case, with the shape I'm in, I won't last much longer, either.

Folks who have always gotten on my case should be thankful instead, I'll save them tons of money.

Ever been a smoker? Check.
Had too many drinks? Check.
Too many pounds on the hips? Check.

I'll be doing them a favor by checking out at a fairly early age! Now if I were a life-long non-smoker, thin as a rail, only drank carrot juice and lived to be 95, what a drain on society I would be.


:evilgrin:

[scarletwoman]

28. Yup. I'm with you on that.

People ought to be falling to their knees and thanking us for living so heedlessly -- smoking and drinking and not joining gyms like proper yuppies.

We don't do it to be self-indulgent, we do it to improve the future prospects of the younger folks.

30. That's right.

Plus I've always been a pain in the ass, and only becoming more cantankerous as I go along. On my checklist I forgot all the goodies from the 1960s... mainly acid, for me.

I remember sitting on the side of a canal in Amsterdam back then, looking at a tree, seeing each separate leaf glow in the most magnificent colors. Would have fallen in the water, had it not been for my boyfriend.

:hippie:

[FarCenter]

10. That's pretty much what happened when the Soviet Union collapsed

All those old WW II pensioners died.

[scarletwoman]

11. Yeah, well, they were expendable. Just like me.

[MyUncle]

12. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Wait until one week after you retire, then die.

[TexasObserver]

13. Who knew it would be "Logan's Run" and the age would be 85?

We are headed to a time when some cubicle dweller at a health insurer's office will code your account so that only absolutely necessary health care is extended to you. Once you are coded as "past his actuarial chart," you're on the fast track out.

[oneblonde]

15. Saving Social Security by dying asap

Now really, you cannot do that. It will be impossible for anyone to die unless they have individual written permissions from the new owners of our nation: Insurance Companies, Major Corporations, and The IRS. After all, without the middle class boomers and seniors they would surely go broke. We will probably see a cabinet appointee and staff to handle death requests. I guess this is what the Mayans foresaw: the end of our form of government and democracy. Our government has become extremely corrupted.

[scarletwoman]

17. The Mayans showed the Way. I shall put my house in order and die by 2012.

I'm sure that if I file my request with the appropriate agencies, I'll be able to meet the DEADline. :D

[proudohioan]

35. Not to mention

to at LEAST allow all of those corporations take out a DEAD PEASANTS INSURANCE POLICY on your life first.

Come on, let's not be so selfish in our race to the grave.

[dana_b]

16. hell no you won't!!!

you all stay right here with the rest of us and help us figure all this shit out! ;)

[scarletwoman]

18. I figured it out years ago. But nobody wanted to listen.

You all better clap damn hard if you want us to stick around.

[dana_b]

19. okay

20. LOL!

Okay, okay. I'm not quite done yet...

:hug:

[glinda]

21. Obits of young people are already up in MN.

[scarletwoman]

22. So, they're jumping the line?

That's wrong. And sad. :cry:

[glinda]

33. Think it is a combination of no health care and/or giving up

[grace0418]

23. Well, with the state of health care and the insurance racket, that sounds like a real

possibility for a lot of boomers. I'm Gen X, so thanks for that, I guess. Of course, we may be dying out with you, who knows.

[scarletwoman]

25. Just don't try to jump the line, dammit.

I got here first, wait your turn.

[proud patriot]

24. Thanks

I needed some levity . :D

[scarletwoman]

26. Hey!

I'm dead serious here!

Now get off my lawn!

[Hannah Bell]

29. not before they drain you of your savings.

[vadawg]

31. you first :)

[cliffordu]

32. Hmmm.....I'm falling apart as fast as I can, sooo.....

I'm doing all I can for the effort.

Sure am ashamed of the world we are leaving the next few generations.

[pipi_k]

34. And we need to be considerate about it too...

We need to die neatly so we can provide food for those we leave behind.

To hell with Soylent Green...I wanna be crunchy granola bars.
