What are we going to do about an ageing population?

[His Highness the Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopher]

(Should the superpowers be engaged in colonizing the Moon? Does that makes sense when we are recklessly destroying our own green planet? Did God make an incredibly large universe to be colonized? This just doesn't sense)

T-Monk, what about immigration?

That's not a practical idea either. It may be though for countries whose populations are ageing such as Europe.

The real question is what are we going to do with the old. They are growing and they control the democratic process. Nobody can touch their Social Security!

What are going to do? Well, I think we can transfer the money from NASA to the elderly. But there are other solutions out there, perhaps better.

Impossible, just impossible. The Moon was a pet project of GW Bush, but I don't think he was serious about it. This would prove far more expensive than the war in Iraq, only to sustain a small colony. But by any means, our leaders should live there for a while.

No, nothing is impossible.
We gotta set our mind to do it.
We are running out of space on earth.
We gotta expand.
The only place where we can expand is space, away from earth.
The moon is the only place close enough to expand to currently.
We gotta set up livable quarters on the moon, send scientists
there to "ake the moon habitable".
The habitable zone (HZ, categorized by the Planetary Habitability Index) is a shell-shaped region of space surrounding a star in which a planet could maintain liquid water on its surface. Wikipedia
Explore: Circumstellar habitable zone, Extraterrestrial liquid water
The search for extrasolar planets prompts the study of planetary habitability, which considers a wide range of factors in determining the suitability of an extrasolar planet for hosting life. Wikipedia
Explore: Exoplanet
A habitable planet candidate implies a terrestrial planet within the CHZ and with conditions roughly comparable to those of the Earth (ie an Earth analog) and thus potentially favourable to life. Wikipedia

That's not a practical idea...
"No resources of significance Human migration is dependent upon resources. The moon does not have any lakes, rivers, and oceans. In fact there is no water on the moon. The most densely populated areas in the world are cities. Most cities are near a body of water usually. There wouldn't be any cities created at all on the moon. At best, the moon might become a research outpost for scientists but not a place for colonization."

This is what we should be doing, the American way...

Social Security won't be an issue much longer. :-)

Why, there's no SS in Heaven?

[Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopher]

Why not?

The old won't outnumber the rest of the voters for much longer. The last
of the baby boomers were born about 50 years ago. Twenty years from now
they'll be in their 70s. We smoked cigarettes like chimneys and it's
catching up with us. (I'm 67 and I've got one lit right now. Even with
excellent medical care, I seriously doubt that I'll ever see 80.) By the
time we develop the technology to support even a small colony on the
moon, The boomer demographic won't be in control. Reaching other planets
will take longer than a kid born today will likely see.

Don't worry. So long as Medicare pays, they'll keep inventing new technologies, new medications, to make you live to a hundred and five.

If you were to take the voting privilege from the old, then their lifespan would suddenly shorten.

put
all OLD males in MONASTERIES .
so
they OLDIES male cannot find new wives .

I have a great idea. We give the old male folks the chance to be with a young lady for one night, dinner and champagne idea, then they must jump off a bridge the next day.

I think I'd take advantage of it.

Find yourself a young lady and I'll foot the bill.
Money well spent idea.

Sorry, the stakes are getting higher now:

(This topic is similar to euthanasia. But I'd give them a treat first)

you must not give OLD MEN any Chance ,
these Old men will fuck
and
will make women pregnant
so that
younger generation will have to feed the new babies .

OK, I'll make an offer they can't possibly refuse:

I'll give them a night with two sterile lesbians --a threesome!

I wouldn't pass on that one. Remember, they must take the plunge the next day.

Hey, don't say that again. My GF is coming back from vacation and she doesn't know I'd take up such offers.

She would be left to thank her lucky stars she didn't have to find out

Well yeah, but I tell you what. We both accept an offer of a million bucks. We go to the European utopia and you won't hear anymore from this monkey.

We find it very, very hard to face retirement while keeping active in America.

This overrides whatever I said before. A man is not ready to die --no matter how old he is-- until he hits the clit. You think many men go through life without ever learning this art?

But John really fucked Yoko Ono.

Sorry, I meant to say man shouldn't die until he fucks.

No, no, no, I don't mean that either. Anyone can fuck. A man shouldn't die until he finds the clit. It turns out god hid the pleasure button so women wouldn't have fun. Then the job of a man is to give a woman fun.

Has Jesus brought any fun to the world?

[Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopher]

have you watched a BRITISH film which prophesied
in the future
new babies are created by Insurance companies
to supply body parts
for wealthy adult generation ?
special young children owned by Insurance companies are put through very
clean schools so that their young body shall grow up
healthy to be cut open for parts
when these young boys and girls reach the age of 17 year 's old .

Never seen it. Got a name?

If you took the vote out of them, their privileges would dwindle and their mortality rates would shoot up. Same money saved would be applied to the younger generations, who really need the most attention.

There's a club for the elders around here that hasn't opened yet, but it looks like a million bucks. It's been sitting there for a couple of years without opening but the glamorous building is there. Actually there's another club that fills that need. And the kids got nothing to do. Surely they can get more attention joining a gang or something.

Nobody but themselves is preventing the yooth of today from voting. If they're too idle, or too cool or something, then who's fault is that? Yet, if they're wise enough to vote, they're likely to be wise enough to bear in mind that they'll be old themselves eventually.

Well, see, the elderly are carefully groomed and catered to so they can vote one way or another. It's a great way for the masters to manage "democracy" without taking risks. Funny thing, is the old never get a quality of life, such as I imagine. To me happiness in old age is riding a trike.

Those of us who are fairly well off in our later life are so because we've worked hard, and saved. Old age pensions are barely enough to live off. Plenty who hit retirement age and can't afford to retire.

I'm still an idealist who thinks we could be happy without money --or little money if you prefer-- if our masters wanted. Walking/bicycling in clean safe communities is just an example. Taming traffic is necessary but here there's great opposition to it, so drivers are running wild. How is it over there in the UK?
