It's mainly the major advances in medicine that are allowing people to live well into their 80s when they should've fuck off the face of the earth 30 years earlier. It sound cruel, and a bit hypocritical because it's what I'd do, but take for example the people who just won't take no for an answer, and want to keep treating their terminally ill loved one. Or the ones who keep the coma patient hooked up on life support waiting for a Grey's Anatomy-esque miracle to happen. We've become so spoiled, it's ridiculous. Thank God we have agencies putting out incurable diseases like HIV, cancer, and what-not. Hurray for conspiracy theories!
A several tens f thousands of years ago, our lfespan was 900 years. It got shortened because of many proccesses that not all of them are man caused. Oh and Hiv comes from mass deforestation and imbalance. Cancer comes from anger emotions and feelings.
Mathuselah! He's the only "recorded" human being ever living past 900 years. If he actually did, that would be intense. But nobody else did and that was pre flood anyway.

Czech Republic has awesome beggars. They never approach you. Instead they just assume a sort of prostrating position on the ground and hold out a cup or hat to put money in. So they're real easy to ignore and even make for good photos sometimes.
My brother told me that when he gave this Ukrainian beggar a piece of cake when he was there, his entire family was a minute away from kissing him and idolizing him.
Here we have organized beggars... Like organized crime just without the crime. Basically some fat guy smoking cigars gets a group of kids that dont go to schools and sends them to beg for money... At the end of the day they give the fat guy all the money and he gives them a bubblegum.
We have those. They're usually at places where there's traffic and they go between cars splashing water on the windshields, cleaning them, then asking for money. They did that once to my dad when I was with him in the car, so he put the car in drive and stepped on the gas a little. The kid shat herself and ran away. Man, my dad is cool.
I gave a man some money today, he was at the corner of a stop light when I pulled up. He was just minding his own business holding his sign and I asked him what is name was and talked to him until the light turned green. He seemed like a good fellow.

Man I'd never do that. Just cause often times those people are drunk or deranged and they wanna talk your ear off. Or ramble it off anyway.
Here's a picture I took of that beggar. They all are like this in Prague. I thought it would be cool to purchase a bonbon from one of the fancy chocolate stores and put it in his hat.

People here are extremely adept at ignoring homeless people. I get approached more often than most because I actually pay attention to the people around me and will actually look at homeless people. I never carry money with me, though, so the conversations usually go like this...
"Hey can you spare some change?"
"No, sorry I don't have any."
"Anything? Please, just like a buck."
"No, sorry I don't carry cash."
"Well, can you go to an ATM?"
"No, sorry, I don't think I can do that."
And then they usually either say "God Bless You" or "Fuck you" and then leave me alone. It bothers and scares me that homeless people are now asking me to go to an ATM. I mean, am I going to give you $20?!?!
Yeah, even if I had the money to throw around $20 to homeless people, I wouldn't. Who knows what happens when you get to the ATM and out of the public eye. That's when the pull out the shiv and tell you to empty your bank account.

Did he have a golden voice?
"Hey can you spare some change?"
"No, sorry I don't have any."
"Anything? Please, just like a buck."
"No, sorry I don't carry cash."
