Re: How long is too long?
It all depends on quality in my opinion. As long as you think you're still living a quality life then by all means continue to do so. If not, die.
Re: How long is too long?
anything past 100 is too long for me i dont see a war go past me and outlive maybe two wives and kids thats just too much for me
Re: How long is too long?

What i think is 111 is a bit to long time for me 80/90 would better even then it might be to much for me.It all depends if there living a good life to me and still can do some things and not bed ridden.
Re: How long is too long?
Hmm... if he has lived this long then he propably enjoys his life and I'm happy for this person... but to me it really seems too long, I wouldn't like to live for so long... and see my children die like you said... and see the wold change... too much for me...
Re: How long is too long?
Ah, that's nothing! Japanese women live to be 120ish every once in a while... there was a French lady a few years ago who lived to be 122! now that's old!
anyway, i think if your life is worth living then it's not too long... and i think the life of an old Japanese man would be kinda nice... i mean you get to go for walks, talk to other old men, drink tea, watch soap operas (and if they don't, they should!)! and grandchildren! imagine all the grandchildren!
^_^ being old can be just as fun as being young, in my opinion!
*^-^* especiallly if i'm with Soshi!
Re: How long is too long?
I wouldn't mind living to 111, as long as I was somewhat healthy and enjoying life. Wow 111 is almost as long as they were living in star trek.

Your exaggerating a bit. The French lady part is right, but not the rest.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The longest unambiguously documented lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who was aged 122 years. She met Vincent van Gogh when aged 14, and in 1988 this led to her, at age 113, becoming noticed by the media. Subsequent investigation found that her life was documented in the records of her native city of Arles beyond reasonable question. More evidence for the Calment case has been produced than for any other supercentenarian case, which makes her case a "gold standard" among the "oldest people" recordholders. This is contrasted with the now-disputed claim of age 120 for the oldest man ever, Shigechiyo Izumi. While currently still recognized by Guinness World Records, even the Japanese authorities have hinted that his age was not certain. This claim was accepted in 1978, but subsequent additional research (as early as 1984) has raised doubt as to whether his birth date was confused with a brother's who died at a young age.
Currently (since 29 January 2007), the oldest living person is 114-year-old Yone Minagawa of Japan born on 4 January 1893.

I am just glad I don't see any pervert posts saying.
111 years of different generations of women.
I didn't know about the French Lady or I would have used her. I was just going off the recent. Sorries. ^^;
