This. When I'm too weak to walk or stand up, then I want to go, but you only live once. Live it to the max.

[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"]Get back to us when you're 45 and let us know if you want to die in 5 years. (I bet you would have changed your mind by then) Just sounds like The Who ironically singing "I hope I die before I get old" on their reunion tours...

Meh. I'm already growing tired of living. I wouldn't mind dying right now. I don't see how I'll enjoy life more in 30 years. Won't commit suicide though, it's both selfish and shameful. However, one could argue that it would not be selfish as someone living but not enjoying the ride is an utter waste of space. I'll go on until something stops me dead in my tracks, perhaps I'll join the army to go off to fight someone else's war.

Since you said that, you'll die before you're 50. I know someone who said he won't live past 30 and he died at age 28. So yeah. You'll probably die before 50 now. But that would make u happy since u don't want to live over the age of 50. So there ya go.

Nah, not gonna happen. I'll stick with being melodramatic until I get the opportunity to go out with a big **** bang. That'd be freaking awesome.

I've seen 50-60s people who are in great shape still. I think late 60s to 70s is when life really gets less accessible due to aging. I used to see myself not living past 30, but as you grow older you realize there's more to life (like games!).

With the advances in medicine and health awareness I think it's increasingly realistic to expect to live an active life well into your 70s, maybe further.

I think it'd be interesting to get cut down in my prime. I want to be like the Chinese actress Ruan Lingyu who comitted suicide despite being immensely popular, and her suicide note read "Nothing matters."

Well, I'd like to be old when I finally die.

I plan to be that old 60 year old man who is out running. I love running and being physical. So I hope I am like that still when I'm older.

If i die its because my bones have become dust, my blood has stopped flowing, and my skin is now sand. I want to live as long as possible until someone kills me or i lose the will to move.

I had one grandfather who lived to 88 years old, and would still get on his bicycle and ride out to the diner by the interstate (around 7 miles one way from his house) if the mood took him. He did this up until a couple of months before his death. On the other hand my other three grandparents died in their 60's and were all miserable and in pain for years. Personally the moment I can no longer live life the way I want, the moment I'm too ate up with pain, or can't feed or dress myself anymore, is when I want to check out. Doesn't matter if I'm 80 or 60 or 40 (I'm 33 now): when that time comes I don't want to stick around. Being alive just for the sake of being alive ain't living.

Well there's fun crazy, and there is not so fun (to deal with) crazy
I hope you get more of the former and less of the later in your area

Some 'crazy' old people happen to be some of my most favorite people ever.

My dad's over 50 and he still skis black diamond slopes, and just recently put up a fence around a swimming pool. If you take care of yourself in your earlier years, you'll still be able to do all the stuff you can when you were younger. If you don't live a decently healthy lifestyle, then yes you'll probably be in constant pain when you're 50.

Thanks, but it's cool. I was not close with my half-brother. I liked him, but we were just not ever around each other that much (Dad's first marriage) All my grand-parents died when I was young (except for one). We just have bad genes. ...it is not the length of life but the quality that matters anyways :)

50's not that old. I think 70 is when people really start to go downhill. I don't mind living to be older if I have my wits about me, but if I am a degenerated mass of tissue, then I'd rather not keep plugging along like that. Science considers longer lifespans a success, but if there is no quality, than the extra years mean nothing.

My 80+ grandparents on both sides are very active. I'd like to think I might be as well, as long as I eat right and take care of myself. I'm also planning to buy a brand new sport bike on my 90th birthday, just to show the youngins how its done;)

I didn't mean literally jumping of a train. Like I said, I'd never commit suicide. And I know exactly how pathetic and insane I am. Sitting in a basement for two years and cutting off just about all human contact does that to people.
