Denial of what? Now you think you know I fear death? I'd be willing to bet I've been closer to death than you.
Your posts. I thought we covered this already.
Closer how? DUI accident?

Succinctly "what are we living for anyway" LOL Calls to my old mind a cigarette commercial "I'd rather fight than quit."
Then there were the hard liquor commercials with the death wish images subliminally inserted into the ice cubes....
But I digress.
Perhaps they envy the dead? Are their lives that miserable at the subconscious level?
You're a good son. I can understand how she feels. Even though I have a companion (Mr. Owl) and plenty of entertainment, plus we can go outdoors whenever we like, not being able to hang out with other people, go to school in person, go out to eat in a restaurant, go to a movie, etc. is depressing. Add to that not being able to see the kids/g-kids except via Zoom. Can you at least go visit with her?

I go out, but just not around a lot of people. My pool league has been cancelled since spring, so I'm not around those friends. I go to the gun range and went to car shows, but most shows were cancelled this summer. I really don't care how or who gets it done, I just hope our livelihood and economy gets back ASAP.
I don't visit her as much as I'd like. We aren't having our family Christmas dinner this year, that has her down. The GF and I aren't going anywhere either. We're staying home, she's cooking a small ham dinner and I'm taking some down to my mother. This has been one screwed up year!
When I was a young man, the beverages in presently shut down enterprises were mothers milk to me.
I lived on Jack Daniel's and Camel cigarettes in between gouging on Chinese food rich in essential nutrients like MSG and cholesterol.
Prior to being drafted after college graduation, I lived like a spoiled twenty-something lives.
If I didn't box and get my nose crunched occasionally, I'd have had no discipline at all.
That's OK before one willfully takes on adult responsibilities. It's part of growing up if you're privileged enough to grow up the easy way.
But if there were a raging pandemic and I had to stay out of bars to have a fighting chance of reaching actual adulthood,
I'm pretty sure that I'd be smart enough to do it.
Is it possible that there were fewer exceedingly stupid people in the sixties?
Nope. Never had a DUI or related accident. What makes you ask that?

I don't know about that, but I'm quite sure that we weren't as selfish as some of the current crop. Generally at that age you still believe you're immortal. Most of us realize though that older people are not. I don't understand how you could risk someone else's life just for your own selfish desires. Who wants to carry that guilt with them the rest of their life?
I was blessed to have parents who let me be young and a little bit foolish without letting me be free of accountability, Owl.
That's how we raised our two kids as well.
It's not that goddamned hard, but today, I just don't know.

That's true, kinda doubt the shithead himself ever had it. But we can hope Rudy's got it, sure hope he suffers, he deserves it.

Your posts. How many times do I need to keep posting that?
Why didn't you backup your claim about being closer to death, RB? Or the first one on why you don't care about any friends or family dying of COVID?
This is why I neglect replying to most of your stupid accusations. You think you know more about me than I do. You are a piss poor judge of character, not to mention a number of other things. Now, kindly FUCK OFF!

Your posts.
Note "concerned about". Obviously either you don't give a shit if they live or die or you are stupid. You appear to have average or better intelligence and education therefore you obviously don't care.
