Stem cell research is retarded. Screw it. Why do we need to live more than 50 years when most of us waste that time anyway?

"Stem cell research is retarded. Screw it."
Yet another piercing criticism. Were you referring to embryonic stem cell research or just stem cell research in general? And on that note, I suppose you also find antibiotics, antiseptics, and other major medical advances to be "retarded" as well?
...I responded seriously. I am ashamed.
"Stem cell research is retarded."
Just because you don't understand it, that doesn't mean it's stupid. It may mean that YOU'RE stupid, though.
"Screw it."
Thank you, no. Test tubes and petri dishes hurt my dick.
"Why do we need to live more than 50 years when most of us waste that time anyway?"
Yeah, when one is 11 it kind of seems that way. You get back to me when you're 50 and we can see how you feel about it then.
Great, another case of projectile stupidity. "I don't understand why it's important, so IT is 'retarded'." I think the mental limitation is a bit closer to home there, yarinaosu.
Also, yeah, let's see you convince anyone that 50 is a worthwhile cutoff age, or that we "waste" all our time thereafter. Many people's highest professional achievements come after 50, and there are myriad examples of people who are productive well into their 80s and 90s -- nearly twice the limitation you would place on their lives. And that's not even counting the personal aspect, simply the joy of living; this does not end just because a person is more than 50 years old!
Yes, as Papabear says, 50 sounds quite ancient when you're a child. Grow up a little, though, and let's see if you can get a it more perspective here.

OK, Lord Zeruel, you got me there. But it still beats being dead. And don't say it so loud, or the whole capitalist economy might collapse when people decide the rat race is a mugs' game and go and build aeroponic greenhouses and use that spare food money to pay off their debts and live a decent life. (Hint - that's MY plan! Well, one of them.)
I read this to my husband. He says "Fuck You."
He turned 50 this year heh.
Seriously, if you don't think there is life after 50, then you need to reexamine your own life. I, for one, don't consider any of my life a waste of time.
Ahahahaa. Read the community rules:
We are not hateful of other religions. We accept others, but know who WE are.
and then:
RULES:
1. NO liberals.
2. NO Democrats.
3. NO Anti-Bush.
4. NO Anti-Christian talk.
5. NO Pro-choice feminists.
and
1. We allow free speech, to those who fit this community . This speech is unhindered. However, since free speech means that you have the right to speak, and if you aren't Christian and Republican, then you already have tons of ability to speak freely in every other place where we do not. Thus, only Christian Republicans have free speech here .

I wouldn't say it would collapse, but the economy would be forced to go back into the game of self-moderation rather than sit back and continue to allow corporate greed to call all the shots.
<<and go and build aeroponic greenhouses and use that spare food money to pay off their debts and live a decent life. (Hint - that's MY plan! Well, one of them.)>>
That sounds quite interesting actually and I wish you luck on that.

Well, they are within their rights to do so (though the bit about "you already have this right in places where we do not" is flat-out wrong, aside from places like Democratic Underground). Quite idiotic of them, though, and we have the right to point that out. And I would hope they'd have the decency not to call "say what you like, as long as you agree with us" "free speech".
Speak for yourself asshole. Oh wait, you're speaking FROM your asshole. That makes more sense now.
YOU may waste most of your day cruising porn, watching Jerry Springer and 'reality' shows, blowing your paycheck at the bar, and only know books from what you've seen on the WB channel, but some of us aren't content to sit around on our asses waiting for god to make himself known and reveal the purpose of our lives. Apparantly for you and your ilk that is to bitch about the activities of others and sit on your thumbs while the world goes to shit because you think jesus is coming back this weekend.
Sure it's easy to throw your life in the arms of an old book of fairy tales, that's much simpler than living and finding out your own reason for being here. So go ahead, be a formless blob of shit that exists solely to be a nuisance to everybody else, and die before you get old. I for one have much to do before I am done.
This guy really hates his life, doesn't he? He hates sex, he hates food, he hates everyone he's ever met (as well as everyone he hasn't). I'm actually sort of starting to feel sorry for him. Gah.
My father's 50. Are you saying you want my father to die right now? Please fuck yourself with a jackhammer.
My cousin had to travel to Sweeden for stem cell based treatment. People like you made it difficult. Please fuck a wall outlet.
You assume stem cell research as a whole is "retarded" because you don't understand it. Please fuck yourself with a thermite grenade.
You believe that free speech only applies to people who agree with you, and that you are having your free speech restricted while imposing your will on all of us??!
Alright, I'd like you to spend two days with Dante's Virgil, without safewords. Any other FSTDT sadists are also welcome to join!
So, apparently despite the fact that many of the most senior professionals, not to mention interesting writers, artists, and filmmakers, and our political leaders are over 50, people still don't really need to live beyond 50?
What about the kids who would never meet their grandparents, or the adults who could still benefit from their parents' love and advice? I know my adult relationship with my parents is amazingly fullfilling, and I dread their deaths.
But, naw. People don't really reproduce much after 50, so fuck 'em.
So you would deny someone the possibility of a prolonged life?
Does this also mean that - theoretically - it would not be a waste if we entered your house with the intention of slaughtering you?
After all - most of your life is a "waste of that time" anyway.
That "Our lives are not too short, we are just wasting too much time" was horribly dumb and condescending when Seneca used it. It does not sound any better two thousand years later, coming from an edgy angsty teenager deriding the world from his Ivory Basement.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
