lets hope not, just one birthday a year is fine with me we dont want to be 50 in 10 years!

I was thinking more in the lines of 50 in 50 years....

its basically saying "I don't want you to die."

sort of, only difference is that it says you have a long life. same difference, really.

same difference is meaningless when you only compare 2 things.

Correct usage.
10 to 53 is the same difference as 200 to 243.

incorrect usage
"its basically saying "I don't want you to die.""
"sort of, only difference is that it says you have a long life. same difference, really."

wrong to the level of blatant ignorance.
A:"4 - 2 is 3."
B:"No it's not its 2"
A:"same difference."

Sorry to use your post as an example hassan but this really gets under my skin.

That is true...

forget that, anyone can die young, each year is a year you have survived... Lives are not predetermined and this closer to the grave stuff is just unfriendly.

True but the average healthy person that will die for natural reasons could fall on the statement that pried said.

BTW..."Lives are not predetermined"...I disagree.

yeah well your wrong ahmed, i dont understand what would appeal about the idea of no control over your own life.

i think i see a conflicting idea of ether total randomness or sequence. one idea states that everything that happens in this world is random, so everything to earth's first life, to if you stub your toe is random. the other conflicting source is the idea that everything in the world is pre-determinant and effects everything else, in other words the only reason you are alive if to do your part and die when your done, so the world keeps moving.

i think death is random, there are things we can do to improve our chances but eventually your number comes up and you drunkenly stumble into traffic or have a heart attack

Happy birthday man!
