Its like what the mothers of Spartan soldiers told them before they went out to war
"As a warrior of Sparta come back with your shield or on it.””

That's why they never put "old age" on death certificates.

Greek mothers wouldn't say that. Greek fathers might. But not the mothers. I doubt you know what mothers in Sparta would say or not say.

There is nothing shameful of dying of old age, however, many of the younger generations would like to think so, because they don't think it'll ever happen to them.

Only the good die youuuung....   I said that when StKildan died and Stammaman made some snarky rant about it. But I forget now. I beg your pardon. Could you explain that one?

I beg your pardon. Could you explain that one? It was a reference to StKildan and Yoyo. You took exception to it. I thought you might remember.  So me saying Yoyo made jokes about StKildan's death was a snarky reference? Okay, I guess that makes sense if you squint and hold it upside down.

Actually I just reread that and now see that you are referring to something that must have happened around Yoyo’s death. Still, it’s a weird thing to bring up in such a way if you can’t even recall what I said. I know I have a tendency to use sarcasm but if I’m offended I tend to be a bit more direct.

War is the most extreme display of ego. It's always ego. |

Why is that weird? The phrase "Only the good die young" just reminds me of something I said on StKildan's death, or Yoyo's death in reference to StKildan's death.
It's not a phrase I ever think about beyond that. But I just thought you might recall your comeback. There's no reason to get so persnickety about it.  <<< I can’t recall but I do know that I regard it as a silly phrase and full of melodrama so I might have said something along those lines.

I don't believe such rubbish. There was a lot of mawkish bereavement over StKildan's death from posters who previously disliked him. All a sudden there were female groupies prostrated on his grave.
Before his death StKildan was not a popular poster and he was a bit of a rabble rouser. But the best Soapboxers always were firebrands. Yeah, I’m too useless for this firebrand shit.

I hope most people think that is not shameful. Dying of old age is something that is charmed. I hope to be that lucky.
