Of course nowadays you at least can get someone to listen to you.

Or they'll post HAHAHAH U SUK under your comment.
As far as medical advances go, when people say "nowadays you can live to be 100!" I always feel terrified. There is nothing I want less.
In all seriousness, though, I doubt very much civilization fifty years from now will exist in a form I'd be in any way comfortable in -- so what conceivable reason could I have for wanting to be here for it? I have an aunt who just turned 92 and when someone said to her "Gee, I hope I live as long as you," she slammed her coffee cup down and yelled "What the hell for???"
Why do I think you might be the one doing the laughing? No reason really, it's just an impression I get, somehow.And laugh.

The thing is, nowadays very, very, very few people *listen*, *care* to listen, or know *how* to listen. At best, they wait until you stop talking, which is not the same thing.

It's part of the Cult of the Individual. MY opinion/issues/needs are ever so much more important than anything you might have to say.
I've noticed that. It's like they didn't hear a word you said and rush to say what they want to right when you're finished talking. It's very annoying. Hardly anyone says excuse me, when they're interrupting a conversation anymore either.
