Talk about skewing numbers. What does walking through a graveyard have to do with the question when compared to numbers courtesy of the US Census Bureau? . The AVERAGE life expectancy in 1930 according to official numbers was 58. So tell me, what is the average life expectancy of a person living in Bezerkistan or wherever the hell it is you are now? Then again where you are now the local warlord decides how long you'll live.
The life expectancy goes up as things improve like coming up with life saving medicines. It doesn't mean that a man born in 1880 would on average be dead by 1938. And you honestly don't have a clue about life over here. I'm spending the night in Astana, Kazakhstan, the country's capital. It puts most Western cities to shame. Amazing place and half the cost of the States. Speaking of which, heading home from here this weekend.
 

It will be fine

You sure bash America often. Why do you hate America?

@vantexan praises the great country of Kazakhstan, torch of freedom in Western Asia. A true model of what America could become.
Kazakhstan is the 17th largest oil producer, and they have put a lot of money into building a beautiful capital. What am I supposed to do, lie about it? Kazakhstan is more or less a dictatorship, but a fairly benevolent one. Recently improved relations with the U.S.. Are we supposed to mock former communist countries that are trying to improve the lives of their citizens? Or be supportive?

Dictators are benevolent until you disagree with them.

Keep on apologizing for former commies.

Not apologizing for anyone. Just spent 6 months in the region so that we could get our car paid off and I could do some travel. It is enlightening to see all the know it all's tell me how things are over here when you obviously don't have a clue. Glad to see people shake off the shackles of communism and not surprised that they shake their heads over the socialist path the West seems hellbent on going down. Love your faux patriotism. If anything you hate this region because they're FORMER commies.

Now they’re just oligarchs and kleptocrats.

Stay there. I can afford to live here, own multiple homes with multiple vehicles, and an abundance of toys. All paid for, debt free.

You just keep being you. Hope they are paying you for your posts.

Stay on subject, it was @vantexan that you were referring to.

I thought you broke out the Indica at bedtime.
Unfortunately, or fortunately for me, that's the way my brain works so I have to filter that out to be productive.
That's not required often these days.
Unless it's putting together a gaming chair I ordered from Amazon ... I got the Ebony and Ivory Edition.

My project for August! Month is filled ... no more requests, please!

They're not all oligarchs and kleptocrats just as the U.S. isn't all 1 percenters. Good thing you don't debate for a living.
