Well the good thing about it was the governor of Texas Rick Perry stopped by to give him some of his favorite whiskey which was a commemorative brand that he liked and Rick Perry sit there for an hour to get some wisdom on how to be old at a hundred now you don't want a person turns 100 they get a phone call or visit from the governor of this state if the governor is not able to make the visit then the governor sends a representative but Rick Perry showed up gave him a committed pistol and gate got some wisdom now we had a man in our state that was a hundred and five a black man the governor did he show up hell no the governor wasn't interested but what did happen with that 105-year-old man got done down by a SWAT team who didn't give a s*** that he was an old man the situation was his family wanted his property and they wanted to put him in a rest home it was his property fair and square he didn't want to hear that s*** so he pulled out a gun and told him to get the hell out of his house the police got called and man it got to be a big mess 105-year-old man in a standoff with a SWAT team nobody didn't try to talk him out of it what they did do they sent a robot in and tried to see if he's armed he was he shot at the robot and that's when the SWAT team said f*** this s*** we don't give a damn vehicle 105 they throw their tear gas that didn't seem to work to get them out of the house so finally they busted in and they shot the man in his bed all because he told his skin folk get the f*** out of my house matter of fact the pine bluffs SWAT team got medals for their action until city councilman said so you mean to tell me they going to get a medal for shooting 105-year-old man the city council months later repealed the awarding of medals to those f****** cops and took their medals back the bottom line the man was a hundred and five years old off the tear gas cans have sell through the window he was in the state of confusion as far as he was concerned he was 5 years old again the f****** Governor didn't even bother to put out a press conference.

[@joshuacunningham7910]

It's not sad in and of itself, but could indirectly cause more sadness because living for an above average amount of time likely means seeing an above average number of people die. But, a longer life span also means you can experience more happiness, and people generally experience happiness at a higher rate than sadness, so I see it as a net positive.

The bible compares our life to a vapor that quickly disappears, or a plant that is here today and gone tomorrow. Do you think about what happens after you are gone? Where is your soul going? Have you heard of a place called heaven and a place called hell? Today I want to urge you to surrender your life to God. Salvation is gifted to us from God out of pure love. All we need to do is believe and follow Jesus Christ. This scripture sums it up. For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Turn your life over to Christ today, tomorrow may be too late. If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask me.

It sounds as if you are tired of your own stupidity & as far as a generations making it hard on themselves just proves what little mature mentality you really have considering the facts that nobody wanted to ho fight a dam war or take a chance being killed moron but they did it so that you Would not be Peaking Japanese or German ! Soldiers who paid the ultimate price so that morons like you could remain free to display your own stupidity & ignorance & it’s this selfishness acts which make America Great which the term also means not letting the Democraps or any political party who I’m sure brain washes idiots like yourself thinking you going to get something personal out of voting for them while they do nothing but make fools out of their voters while laughing all the way to their banks getting richer & richer off of tax payers which sounds to me you pay none after making again their false promises to you & mostly just black which is why they always try using the race cards since they know people like you bite at any words coming out of their deceiving mouth along with being back good manufacturing jobs that were here in the beginning so until you self educate yourself , America is still the best & greatest country in the world , but has been being sold out by politicians just so they can make their own personal corrupted business deals rather than having those jobs here for Americans so until you start educating yourself or you can always move to China , America was great & will be even greater again because of those who sacrificed their lives so that you & I & the rest of you unappreciative morons can live free in this country so go learn some facts buddy about history & quit trying to substitute history with your ignorant opinion since you obviously don’t know nothing about it along with history is not meant to please you & hopefully it does offend you since it’s to be learned & belongs to all to keep it from repeating its self so go learn some facts about history & America will become great again since we have a President who cares for all Americans, not one ethic group like the Democraps say & try to use to get more votes who is standing against these corrupted politicians trying to slowly but surely take away our constitutional right just so they can implement their personal socialistic agenda like the dictators in the past & it’s exactly why America has been great & will be even greater leaving those with level of mentalities like yours begging because you have yet to learn that knowledge is power then letting others brain wash you believing every & any bs lie that comes out their mouths just to get people like yourself to vote for them like Biden who’s been in there 47 yrs. but hasn’t done crap for nobody let alone you so try learning some facts for once, Trump2020! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGIAIN!!! P. S.

@John Doe Lol as someone from European decent I understand you're opinion, but with all do respect Native Americans got their asses handed to them. You can use the rebuttal "you tricked us" which we did because its a strategically planned move. The idgenious people lost because we out smarted them. They used twigs and arrows we used metal and gun powder. We technologically wanted to advance our race. Native Americans didnt. I grew up around sioux indians my whole childhood and respect them as any other people although facts are facts. The point is America always has been great and always will be. You just say it wasnt and never will be because you're ancestors got their shit pushed in as i said earlier. Truth hurts sometimes i hope you can accept reality some day.

Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

this man had to live through racism and segregation. he got to see mlk and obama, ruby bridges and even things like the alabama bombings, and 9/11, and on top of the he is a vet. he is basically a living monument of americas grim history

This man is a legend, 111 years old and not showing signs of slowing down at all, I saw a 60 year old and he was really slow, I helped him out along with his wife, gave them both 100$. They were blessed and even cried a little bit, they said "thank you" and continued on with their day, ever since then I always thought about how happy they were, and have never forgotten about them

Following his heart, which God has given him, is what has kept him alive.

[@mrjjman2010]

Lol..and very very good genetics, not eating very much, and drinking moderately(which has long been shown to increase lifespan in most people). The smoking thing really is something though, smoking has not been shown to have any health benefits long term, even in small doses it typically causes shortened lifespans to some degree. But yes, his heart plus about 9 other things, many of which are due to being lucky genetically or just smart enough to know not to eat until he’s 35% body fat like most Americans.
