24. Young people think they'll never age
I'm 64 and at my age I'm doing everyone a favor by wearing clothes. Take my word for it.
Do you really want to see a bunch of naked Boomers? Really? "
... people are not compared to ridiculous standards of body types that only ken and barbie can achieve. In a sane and mature society, different body types are accepted and valued, just as we accept and value different eye, hair and skin color. In a sane and mature society, people are not brainwashed by the media into fearing the onset of the natural aging process to the point where they spend billions (selling you shit again by making you hate yourself) making asses out of themselves purchasing crap to hide the effects of time, and engaging in self mutilation (plastic surgery) for the same reason.
