Retiredandhappyhere Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 If I still lived in the UK at my age of 75, I would be made to feel more like 90 by people and the weather. Here I enjoy a better and much more casual life-style and feel no more than 60. I keep abreast of all the news, use as much modern technology as I can afford, keep active and in no way am I stuck in the past. However, I have to say that I do not think that the world is going in the right direction and do not believe that life is getting any easier for the younger generation.

However, according to you I should be listening to rap, and riding a skateboard with my cap on backwards. New doesn't necessarily mean better.

davo2003 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 "Those people are called 'conservatives'. They fear change... they would be stagnant back home as well." Odd statement. I've never known a connservative to fear change. Plenty of left wingerz I do know that fear change so much they won't even sit with a right leaning person.

cameraman888 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Personally I work to stay fit and grow as a person and learn as much about health as I can. Staying young takes work but its all about your life philosophy. Part of the reason for being in SE Asia is to learn about different cultures and to have fun. Life can be a drag only if you let it.

I wonder how those same elders would feel if they could see their offspring running around Pattaya trying to be young again with a dolly bird in tow. Well, the promiscuity that the pill unleashed didn't do society much good. An explosion in the number of Illegitimate children, vast tax liabilities supporting them etc etc. the desire for instant gratification hasn't done us any favours either. trying to be young again with a dolly bird in tow. dad probably wishes he could do that too.

Tony125 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hey JJ can you tell us something about you. Where from ? Time in Thailand ? I say this because you joined this forum 2 months ago and have more posts than some who have been members for 3 years. Would like to know where your knowledge of Thailand comes from or you just like to sit at the PC all day thinking of things to write. As another poster mentioned I think you need to get out more.

transam Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Folk on this forum have slagged me off for posting a lot over the last 10 years, but guess what OP, every single day l see young folk with their heads in an iPhone, riding bikes with their head in a phone, at the dinner table, anywhere. In fact if they did not go to school or their job they would be laying on a sofa with their head in an iPhone, most adults are the same. So has this oldy got to do the same when out and about, is this the adjustment l must make instead of going to the gym and move weights, stop going places to sing farang stuff, stop helping folk with English, stop helping farangs older than me with their paperwork, so what should l be doing.....?

vivasamui Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 A 70 year old guy from New York sleeps with an 18 year old. The next day, he goes to church to confess. "Father, Father, " he says, "I slept with an 18 year old." The priest looks at the old man through the partition of the confessional, and says, "Your Jewish. Why are you telling me this?" The old guy replies, "I'm telling everyone!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
