In 75 years, most (if not ALL) DUers
will be D E A D ..

Life is short, folks.. Too short for petty squabbles & vindictive neener-neeners..

"All ________s are to blame for ______ and should be banned/ shot/ imprisoned/ fired/ banished/ taxed/ prohibited/ dismissed/ neglected/ despised/ detested/ scorned/ unloved " is a very sad way to live a life ..

Tolerance...understanding...forgiveness.. love..accomodation..understanding..sympathy... acceptance.. much better ways to live..

Everyone has vices..everyone (well most of us) has virtues..

No one is perfect.. we can all try to be better.. we will never succeed completely, no matter how hard we try..


Plant some flowers..kiss a baby.. take a walk..
be a friend not an enemy :)

life is short :)

3. Feelin' Groovy....
Sometimes it is just too easy to take a shot...

As long as it is done with just a touch of humor...

We all have to agree that if any one of the democrats win in '08, we will all be better off...

4. 75 years is such a long time.
I'm sure if we put our minds to it and really ramp up the infighting, we can all be dead in five. C'mon DU! You know you can do it. Here's a cause we can all get behind! Stroke, heart attack, spontaneous combustion, vanishing up your own nethers: I don't care how you do it, just do it!!!!!!

13. Well, heck, I'm going to miss y'all...
I've been told that "you can't take it with you." Therefore, I've decided that I'm not going.

Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
Well, I must be a helluva man
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doing the best that I can...

8. This pretty much sums up my attitude about DU for me:

Pretty much why you won't see me participating in huge post-spawning arguments.

18. You are so right!!
Although, some people may already be dead but no one has told them yet!! :sarcasm:

Live and let live and stop judging others.

22. I pity anyone alive 75 years from now. It will not be a pretty world.

The growing shadows of darkness are the future taking shape.

The first shape is The Grand Chessboard of the 1890s alive again!

This is a time the aged should be envied their years by the young.

But you are correct. Sorry to rain on your parade.

Here are some flowers:

26. I plan on still being around, I'll only be 102!
I'll still be planting flowers, taking walks, kissing babies and fighting the good fight.

Fight fire with water.

peace.

29. Very well said.
I'm weary of being pounded on for not marching in lockstep with others.

Thanks for saying something that really needed to be said.

Peace and love to all the world. No exceptions. :hug:
