Life expectancy has generally been increasing due to improvements in healthcare, sanitation, etc. It has somewhat plateaued in recent times though.

I can remember at one of the first LGBT society meetings we played guessing games, including guessing ages. A guy tried to guess my age, and he led the guess with "well you look old, so..."

I get my e's and it's confused.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
