Old people who look through their drapes because they have no life should be euthanized. This weekend I went the library to check out some books. There was an RV parked in the lot across five spaces. I knew what was going on -- a retired couple who had sold their house and bought an RV. I noticed they had a map of the U.S. painted on the side, with the western part filled in. I walked over and looked at it for a few seconds. Sure enough, the western part had been professionally painted, but the eastern part was blank. I assumed the map showed the states they had visted. As I walked away, I heard a hysterical "There's someone at the door!!!" An old fat guy charged out. "What are you doing?!?!" Me: What's it to you? "It's my RV!" "So what?" "Stay away from it!" "And if I don't, what are you going to do?" I think about then he realized he was in over his head. "I'll call the police!" "They'll tell you to move your illegally-parked van, which you are obviously living in." Apparently he realized he was going to lose this encounter, so he turned and walked away. I called after him, "Never start an argument you cannot win." I've seen these things before, with old retired people who have no life, so they watch everything through their drapes and call the police. "Look at the cat! He doesn't belong here! Why is that guy walking his dog? He doesn't live on block! Call the police!" Some years ago an old geezer kept looking out his drapes and caught a teenager cutting across the edge of his corner lot. He charged out and yelled at him. The teenager got smart and started stomping on the guy's lawn. So the geezer shot him. He got life in prison and committed suicide in it at about age 69. Some people are complete morons.

Geez turtle you are tuff on us. You are correct, cut 'em no slack. They are all 100 per cent consumers, air, food and water, and they produce nothing. The only requirement you need to decide on, is what age would you terminate the useless eaters? We can start from there.
Probably about 39. When I was in high school we could eat lunch off campus. One day, as I was waiting for the light to change, a woman, in her late 30's, gave me a dirty look, reached over and locked her passenger door. I was 16, and although I had hair past my shoulders, I was standing here with my schoolbooks in my hand. I thought, lady, get a life. Actually, people without lives should be euthanized. The biggest clue is that they are always sticking their noses into other people's business because they have nothing else better to do. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
We used to pass an old man who always was walking the 2-3 mile distance back to his old 'needs painting' house just down Cow Hill Road in Clinton, CT from us when I was younger and in my Mom's Oldsmobile. I would always prompt her, "Give him a ride, come on." to which she would say no and remark on his seemingly scowling face. Then one day she listened to me and we wee treated with very delightful and intelligent conversation from this retired teacher who didn't seem to have a scowling bone in his body when he spoke. She started routinely giving Mr. Curley a ride. Never judge a book by it's cover. Lots of 'drape apes' are just lonely people more into observing life then they once were. If they would just stop calling the police over every little thing. I used to own a taxi years ago. Once I parked after work and went for a walk. It was a nice cool eveing. When I came back there was a police car by my taxi. He told me someone had called the police about this out-of-state taxi parked in our neighborhod!!! I asked if he wanted to see my ID. He said no and drove away. A comedian used to have a skit about old people looking out their drapes. "Look at that cat! Why's he here!?!?" I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
Well, I can say this. It is the olde morons that bring wars, endless wars for the kids to fight, so age 39 would put a halt to that. Other than that, once the program is started, would you start at 39 and work your way up or in reverse????? That would be important to the likes of me. You know some of the olde crabs would try to hide and avoid doing their duty?
If observing life doesn't put a scowl on your face, nothing will. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Ferret, you're a good guy. God loves you:}

From experience. Olde people spend a lot of time reflecting on the past, mostly their errors and sins. What was once important fades away into nothingness.
Back when I owned a taxi one morning I stopped to get a pasty and some orange juice. As I was pulling out I noticed a old guy walking in the rain carrying a bag. I asked him if he wanted a ride -- for free. He said he remembered his address since he had lived there 30 years but couldn't remember how to find his way home. So I took him home. That also happened with an old woman who was walking in the opposite direction of where she lived. She made me go inside and gave me a quarter. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
I had empathy back then for Mr. Curley as I went to a private school I had won a scholarship for, and had to walk those miles from Route I-95 to our house on Cow Hill Road just past Egypt Lane quite a bit myself. So it wasn't hard to make that pitch to give him a ride. I've looked on Google Earth and I notice his old house is gone. If you have that program, enter Airline Road and Cow Hill Road in Clinton, CT and you will see an old red one room school house built in 1800 on a triangle of landbetween roadways. He lived near there. It is an interesting icon from days when Clinton was just a lazy New England coastal village. This thread made me think of that as he was just one of the older folks living in that area I used to know who are dead and gone, many of them having been customers of mine when I delivered The Hartford Courant as a boy. I turned 58 this month and was reflecting about them and how they lived in a world with much more privacy then we are grudgingly granted in modern life. Now there are less drapes and more security cameras and drone aircraft. By the time the kids of today are in their fifties and beyond, will they even be allowed to have even bodies not requited to have identification tags implanted? Yes indeed. I know about the life making one scowl well. Bullshit, I'm not in prison. Furthermore, you don't shoot I shot the other guy for stompin' my strawberries. ~~~~~~~~ Lot to be said for being a hermit these days. Last one I knew was way back in the late 1940s. The olde gentleman was in his eighties, lived back in the hills with only his horse and dog for company. In summer he came to town on Saturdays, horse and buggy and his olde dog riding shotgun. The dog never ever left his seat in the buggy, never acknowledged people that tried to talk to him. The olde man never socialized, but spoke to everyone he passed, did his buying errands, then he and his companions were off again back in the hills.
Turtle wouldn't be broke if had a dime for every time somebody has said that to him. Turtle feels triumphant for the opportunity to say it to somebody else after hearing it so many times. lol Old people look through their drapes......Turtle flashes folks through the drapes in his van and frightens the unfortunate Looky Lou who runs from the scene screaming, "HELP!! MY EYES ARE BURNING!! MY EYES ARE BURNING!!" " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

We have lots of 'trip wire veterans who love out in the forest. Many live in clandestine abodes near geological features like hot springs like the one up at the Cougar Hot Springs near Blue River, OR. Most don't like much human contact, and one does not go into the forest looking for them at home. That is a mistake. Hey, he better not do that to a cop. He could then be charged with brandishing a dead weapon. ;-D If they don't like people....who do they love out in the forest? : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
lol......all the cops in Turtle's hood head to the donut shop when they hear Star Trek tunes. They learned good one time that the stench from the van is too much to endure twice. Now Turtle speeds and runs stop signs at whim.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” —Samuel Adams America: Israel's Handmaiden
Pole-lessman: "Sir, is that a bicyclist and bicycle on your hood?" Turtle: "Yehsir, it is. I just didn't see it on the road which we all know is onlt for cars and pickum up trucks anyway." Pole-lessman: "Well, that sounds reasonable to me. I mean, it ain't like they like us anyway." During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Lmao! I rate this as your best yet. (I wouldnt agree with the euthanize part, of course).
