RIP Thread

I don't want to live to 80. By then you are a shadow of yourself. I trust enough in Heaven and God that there will be place for me in the clouds. No need to rush it but holding on to life might be a bad idea with dementia in my family.
Not necessarily for everyone. There are bedridden people or close to that who need zimmerframes at that age. There's people out there still fit and active like David Attenborough. He might not do long trecks in wilderness, but he does daily walks and otherwise is independent and mentally agile. But if you have generic problems like that I'd probably wish death before the symptoms get too bad.

As for Bonnie, I'm going to play through Battlefield 4 again. I was thinking of doing it anyway.

Total Eclipse of the Heart. NOO!! I used to listen to her and Roxette a lot. ARGH

Marie Fredricksson going was a shock to me as well., but I didn't know of her cancer diagnosis decades earlier.
Someone else like Tina Turner I knew for many years about her health issues. She's had numerous ones since the 70s so at least I kind of expected her to go within this decade sadly.

Derryn Hinch, Australian broadcaster and senator of Australia, died at the age of 82.
He might have been a journo, but he was one of the good ones.

To give non-Ausfags a bit of an idea as to the kind of guy Derryn Hinch was, he was sent to jail several times for naming and shaming sex offenders who were subject to suppression orders at the time. He eventually became a Senator, and introduced a bill to restrict the overseas travel of convicted paedophiles which subsequently came into law.

So yeah, I'm pouring out a big glass of red wine for Derryn tonight. Vale.
 
sex offenders who were subject to suppression orders
That entire concept is evil from its core. The notion of "protecting" a criminal at all is offensive to begin with, but just the term "suppression" gives away from word one what the intention of such orders is -- the spread of evil and the protection of the people of spread it.

Good on him for responding "suppress this, niggers!"
