I could cite 100 examples off the top of my head that proves your claim to be incorrect
bullshite! My claim was that if you take proper care of yourself, AND DON’T GET BAD LUCK, you should live into your 90’s and be active into your 80’s. You responded by listing a few guys who had bad luck. That doesn’t touch my statement.
I just had dinner with a guy who celebrate his 90th birthday a few months ago. He works out seven hours per week. His wife is 71, and they were sexually active a few years ago (I don’t know about now).
The lady who lived across the street from me lived to 95. At 94 she was still walking several miles a day and from 30 yards away she looked to be in her 60s.
We could both list examples to make our cases, but what won’t change is this: that if a man takes care of himself, and has average luck, he’ll live into his 90’s and have a nice active life, and sex life, into his 70’s.

Yours is just an echo of the old communist excuse that if you are making an omelet you have to break a few eggs. That is until Panit Istrati retorted, “But where is the omelet?”

Great Society 101.
The welfare boom.
One could exist without working, idle hands.
No doubt that had something to do with it. I just think demographics had more to do with it.
We have even more welfare now but much lower crime rates. Demographics.
quote:
What happened in the 1960s
The baby boom came of age. Lots of young people in the prime age for committing crimes.
I think some of the things you list were factors. Others probably weren’t.
Another factor is that for the first time ordinary people had time on their hands. Before that you had to work hard just to survive.

That is a lie. Istanbul has some nice features - especially ones built by Christians before the Muslims took over, but it’s not as nice a city as New Orleans, and it’s nowhere near most big American cities.

The dysfunctional reality we live in
I was a middle class kid who grew up, started a family, ten years later started a business, and 25 years later sold it (the business. Kept the family). Now I’m retired with more than I could ever spend. But I live in America. Where is that unfortunate land in which you live?

It’s unenforceable. As long as the exiting billionaire doesn’t own California bonds, he can just leave and go to another state. What are they going to do?

Sure dummy. The tariffs are intended to help other nations. And making the NATO countries pay their fair share of defense is intended to help the Russians? Bombing those Venezuelan boats is being done to help China. Oh, and cheap power and gasoline? Those are deep state ploys to make the UK great again.

what really happened was we had a massive increase in crime in the late 1960s, in the 1980s and 1990s they started getting tougher on crime, which brought the rate down.
There is no trend since 2010.
I think it has a lot more to do with demographics. Young men are the crime committers, and we have fewer young men per capita. The trend since 2010 is fairly flat, but at a much lower level than in past decades. There are probably a lot of factors. As you wrote, criminology is one, demographics, technology; it’s hard to tease out exactly what causes it.

Yeah, there are spikes due to foolishness like BLM and covid, but the trend has been steadily downward since the 70’s.

Tell me that you know shite about aging as a male ... and even less about women, without telling me.
Well, I’m 63 and still getting laid about five times per week. I work out with weights about five times per week and do cardio about four times (that’s down from a few months ago because my knees are acting up). You’re going to have a hard time winning this argument with me.
The guy who lives two doors down from me died last year at 95. The last year was rough, but he was out walking the neighborhood in his 90’s, stopping to talk to neighbors and enjoying life.
Bad breaks happen. The odds of getting cancer, heart disease or dementia can be radically lowered with proper diet and exercise, but even then they are not zero. As long as a man takes care of himself, and avoids those bad breaks, he’ll just be losing his spryness at 80.
