Not true, old people pull the "senile" shit all the time to get away with whatever they want. People laugh when old people pull shit like this all the time and everyone goes "Awwww, she just didn't know what she was doing!" but they know exactly what they're doing. They've finally gotten to the level of being able to say fuck all to self-consciousness and exploit our underestimation of them. I dont mean grey hair old, i mean people going into their thirties, or even leaving their teens.

Alzheimer's disease is still a physical problem (usually caused by the physical aging of the body - probably due to less effective immune system). When someone "loses" their mind or has a mental disorder, it is STILL a physical problem. Somewhere in the brain, something isn't functioning correctly. misssmadejavuu Posted at 2:23 am on Jan. 11, 2009 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 2:21 am on Jan. 11, 2009 well once you're in your twenties you need to start preparing Yeah, but I know I won't be ready to settle down until I am in my thirties.

How someone looks when they are old can tell you a lot about their life. Eh I doubt you'll be saying that when you're old but meh I hope I will be saying it, it's funny how at 20 I am already imagining how I will be when I am old.

Bearsy Posted at 2:12 am on Jan. 11, 2009 Quote: from arwen rashka at 2:10 am on Jan. 11, 2009 It is because "old" is associated with being decrepit, not in touch with the times, unable to adapt, forgetful, and unable to take care of oneself. Most people in their fifties are called old but they're still capable and intelligent then HowAboutsNo Posted at 2:12 am on Jan. 11, 2009 people don't want to get older, because everything is downhill. everything sags, and you cant get away with much, plus everyone expects you to be mature.
