Why let them suffer? Yeah, they're our grandparents, parents, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, neighbors, even. You don't see the hell that they go through because nursing homes are a pastel coloured prison; instead of bars covering the windows, we have nice frilly pink curtains instead. They're so minimal in security, any old fuck can just run right out.
But some of them may have respratory diseases or lung cancer, or (my personal favorite.. yuck) ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. THE ONE DISEASE THAT JUST ABOUT MAKES YOU BRAINDEAD AT ANY AGE, JUST AS LONG AS YOU ARE OLD. Why do some of us still bother to live when we're on our way out and our bodies are showing it? Don't get me wrong, I'm no pessmist or anything, but aren't some of them suffering? Most oldies live their final years in pain if anything, pain that none of us would like to go through.
So do me a favor: down with nursing homes. The Eskimos are a pretty smart people; whenever one of their own grows too old to be of any care (not necessarily ANY USE, mind you), they send 'em off on their own ice flow away from the group. Either they starve to death, die of extreme temperatures, drown as a result of a melted ice flow or get eaten up by a polar bear. It's ugly, and pro-life activists may even say 'disgusting', 'inhumane', and 'downright nasty', but it's the truth.
And if any of you are taking gerontology, I hope that when you're the age of any patients you may come across, you won't be shitting your pants every five seconds because your anus cannot hold any solid excretions.
THank you, you're welcome, and good night. This is Eric Lynch.

Now you just go ahead and pick your pimples in public here at Ask A Drunk and call them caviar if you like, but don't expect a polite audience who murmurs, "Oh heavens! That marvelous Eric lynch is pulling fluffy bunnies out of his arse." We don't operate that way -- on the days we are able to function. If you want to stick it out, then you pull your weight, buy your rounds and help us avert the blue miseries like a good chappie. Otherwise the jackals gather and we see who can get the biggest piece of your entrails. All in good fun, of course.

in the Crucible, there was this one old geezer guy that got stones pressed on his intestines until he exploded into icky yucky fleshy red goo, and then everyone else thought it was funny to get hung from a board. (the movie was downright hilarious; Proctor, Nurse and some fat chick all said the Apostles' creed in unison *just* as they were getting hung. It's not supposed to be funny, but just realize that it's a goddamn movie.)
Burnt offerings are also good. Barbecued elderly, anyone? Don't forget the marinade and the lemon juice.. (some people, like my nutso parents like to use 7up, but that was way back then.) The Incans used young girls to offer into a firey pit for the sun god.
