What is one thing you want to do before you die?

[Nyhillbillies]

I'll circle back and read all of the responses, but I want to go ahead and get this tidbit out there.

I want to retire from work before I die.

Hear me out.

I've been with my current employer almost 36 years. I transferred into my current position in June, 2008. I was replacing the soon to be retiring technician.

He retired in August of 2008, turned 60 years old in Sept of '08, and died from a heart attack in Nov of '08.

I turned 54 years old last month, and my wife says I can retire at the end of this year.

Here's hoping I don't croak in 2022.

Genetically speaking, you should live as long as your mother, unless you have the same health issues as a close relative. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you’ll live looooong !

Totally serious (about freeing caged animals). Animals belong in the wild with their society. They were here on this planet before we were. Our interventions in their natural lives are their biggest problem.
Darn it! Who left that soapbox here…?

Get off your high horse. Don't you have any animals as pets or farm animals? Animals have been going extinct for millions of years, way before humans. But we have the power to educate others and conserve the species. The animals in zoos live better, safer lives than most in the wild

Being a vegan or vegetarian doesn't guarantee anyone will love long

Some animals, (such as albinos) are mutated so that they might immediately die in the wild.
Others have been damaged too much by poachers and others that we have to do our bit by taking care of them and making up for the mistakes made in the past.

Zoos also assist with the breeding and preservation of species. Without zoos, some amazing animals would not exist.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, there’s no “zoo” on this planet that can even come close to providing a better home and life than in their natural habitat. Would humans be better off in living freely or incarcerated, no matter how pleasant their cell is??

Here’s some sickening facts::

Unfortunately, The #1 cause of dis-ease in US citizens is the “Standard American Diet”.
SAD causes obesity, high BP, diabetes, cancer….all the major “killers”. The list goes on & on.

It is more profitable to treat a di-ease then to cure it.

The heftiest donors to medical schools are pharmaceutical companies.

“To make the world a better place” would be a great goal before dying!

So, why would people would rather just escape: watch something mindless on TV or pick up a trashy book?

We are not going to agree so I will not argue anymore with you about this

Now this I agree with. HOWEVER, I believe the culprit of those things you list are not meat or dairy products. They are carbs and white sugar

Making the world a better place starts by looking in the mirror
