The liberal flag asked:


Evidently, Obama doesn’t think that people are smart enough to know when to give up on life? He think we’re all blithering mental patients that need the government to think for them. He wants to limit care, not reform it. He’s nothing more than a fascist that just wants the elderly to die.

What’s your thoughts?

Paul asked:


Back in the generation of my parents and grandparents, it seemed like it was common for people to bring their older parents home to live their final days with them. That seems to not happen so much anymore (at least in my extended family). Why do you think this is happening (if you agree), and do you think this is a good or bad?

It also seems that society also takes care of those young and well. So what should we do with people who CAN, but DONT? Should we cut them off social benefits or do we keep paying thm to do nothing? Again, we must take care of elderly, sick and infants. I am also talking specifically about welfare, food stamps and housing vouchers. What % do you think are taking advantage of the system?

I myself have no children. And having kids can be really expensive and lots of commitment. One can either choose to be a parent or be childfree.

For those who choose to be childfree, I respect your choice. Don’t let others put you down because of it. If being childfree makes you happy, then please go for it. But my concern is what if the childfree people need to get taken care of once they’re are elderly?

Sonya asked:


I’m entering middle age now and I’ve been taking care of of my disabled mother for most of my life. People have told me that I could get paid for taking care of her, but never tell me how to go about it. Does anyone know of any such agencies?

I currently stay home to help out my parents but want to know if I can get some help with bills and other expenses.

People 65 and up will unanimously vote republican this election. Do they not care that 25 years from now, after they are dead, America will collapse due to the governments current spending trends?

This group should be accessable by internet to be really usefull. My Grandparents are 88 and 90 and totally pissed about being old. My mom is 60 and a very up beat person that is very young at heart, but her parents (my grands) are making her sad and crazy. They are in a very nice independant living center in the North-west. It is so wierd for them to act so nasty these last years as they have become frail. I know other people their age, and none of them are acting like total babies. Sorry for the rant…they are treating everyone really badly. Just so you know, the grandparents were needing the paramedics at their house Every Day. That is why they are in the posh apartment now. No body is ignoring them or talking down to them. OMG, these two were partying with Frank Sinatra in the 50’s….they whupped it up. Perhaps that is where the frustration comes from.

regwoman123 asked:


down. People around her called and rushed her to the hospital. Her dog, still remained in the enclosed “little dog section”. A friendly young lady, who the elderly lady had befriended, took the dog for safe keeping. Another “dog” couple went to the hospital to be with the elderly woman. I supposed they know her and know how to contact one of the daughter’s. How’s that for caring about other people’s dog, who goes to the same section often enough to be noticed. It’s nice to know that SOMETIMES people are very thoughtful.
I would have taken the dog myself, but I came on the scene afterwards. I would want someone to do the same for me, if the situation warranted it.
