This is proves to me that Drugs, Alcohol and over eating are dangerous to your health. Smoking added in makes for a short life. There are too many empty calories available these days.

Unfortunately, many whites have taken to the formerly exlcusively black ghetto culture of death....hip hop, rap, sex drugs, alcohol. The short lifespan is inherent.

Hi back. MHS class of ‘88. Good to know that there is a Freeper back home. I’ve only made it back once since my parents moved out in ‘99.

I saw in the World the other day that the business district of Coos Bay was looking up—two new marijuana dispenseries.

...Why? Because middle class white people die with assets that the government can tax heavily....

Coming back to reality, in the United States, on planet Earth, the exemption from federal estate taxes is: $5,340,000 for estates of persons dying in 2014, $5,430,000 for estates of persons dying in 2015, and $5,450,000 (effectively $10.90 million per married couple) for estates of persons dying in 2016.

Now I don't know what "tax heavily" means to you, but to me an exemption of over $5 Million is not particularly heavy. Google is your friend...

[[Why Middle Class Whites Are Dying Faster ]]

It’s very simple- people are not working hard like they used to- everyone now feels entitled to other people’s money- and America has become fat and lazy- Instead of working the fields, working manual labor jobs, etc- they work desk jobs- sit around all day long- snakcing on junk food- get home- and ‘are exhausted’ sit on the couch, turn on TV- and eat junk food till bed time- Kids are growing up not going outside and playing from morning till dark anymore- nope- they now sit around the house watching TV then playing on the computer, or their cell phones, and whine and cry if their parents ask them to go outside and get some exercise-

They get no real sense of accomplishment- feel like losers- and are depressed because of their lazy circumstances, and because they aren’t outside getting fresh air and enjoying life- Their only sense of accomplishment comes by how many likes their online posts achieve-

The french used to live a long life even though they ate a lot of fatty foods, and loads of sweets, and smoked a lot because they would work hard till noon- have their large meal for hte day- then go back to hte fields or manual labor jobs and work off the lunch and then have a small meal in the evening- That however is all changing now as they still smoke, eat loads of sweets, and fatty foods, but don’t do the hard jobs they used ot do and now their big meals come at the end of the day instead of at lunch time- there are far more deaths by heart disease now, diabetes, strokes etc

Doesn’t take a bunch of studies to figure out what is going on

The early deaths are due to degeneration; i.e. [...] copulating, evacuating the bowels and snoring [...]

I don't quite follow you: Are you claiming that one could lengthen one's life expectancy by forgoing such activities? That evacuating one's bowels is inadvisable?

Regards,

What’s amazing is how many of us are still alive.

>>The historian Carol Anderson argued in an interview in Politico (2016) that for whites “if you’ve always been privileged, equality begins to look like oppression,”

Only with ongoing Affirmative Action, there isn’t equality, there is active discrimination against white males. You see anecdotal proof of this all the time here on FR.

There are plenty of other issues causing the mortality uptick, but this doesn’t help, is one more.

Along with worsening job prospects over the past several decades . . .

Thanks, globalism, taxes and regulation!

. . . this group has seen their chances of a stable marriage and family decline, along with their overall health.

Thanks, sexual revolution and feminism! If it feels good, do it!

. . .rates of obesity and diabetes have ploddingly climbed.

Thanks, government food pyramid, et al., for recommending we eat lots of whole grains!

PING!

What is it with freepers and bathroom habits? I’m noticing more and more disgusting descriptions of bowels and what they produce in almost every thread! It’s seriously making me rethink why I come here - and I’ve been through a hell of a lot since I joined in 2001. No class - perhaps another reason to die young - to escape the pig culture.

Nominally, you have a point.

Thing is, the “Estate Tax” on Social Security and Medicare benefits is 100% . . .

I was interested in the geographical distribution of high death rates. If I read it right, the high rates are concentrated in areas of high Democrat concentration. Socialism kills.

Most financial planners I read consider SS an annuity. It stops on death. This is not a tax by any stretch of the imagination.

Now, the SS they collect from you every year that you work is a tax. But that is not what you are talking about here.

Social breakdown/cultural cleansing by the globalists has not helped.
