"WHAT, STILL GOING AT 150" !!!!!

I know that it's a No NO to mention Politics on this Forum but, after seeing this statement in todays news, I am wondering how many people do you know, who are trotting around at 150 Years of  Age. ????

Since 1967, the male life expectancy has increased by 3 years in every decade while the female life expectancy has increased by 2 years per decade. In the extremely unlikely event that things continue at this rate, it will take 25.5 decades for the male life expectancy to reach 150 years.

 Yeah I do and I usually receive it as I did with this story which was reporting what others have said. Could you nominate a more valid news service reporting on Australian events in Australia?

ISTM that Hockey is seizing on sensational articles like the following:

www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-129568/Could-child-live-150-years-old.html

How long do you expect to live? In reality, it is likely to be close to the current adult life expectancy of about 70 to 80 years. Yet according to leading population expert James Vaupel, a baby born today has a 40 per cent chance of living for 150 years.

This prediction has been made by one of the so called "adults". It must be true. Or is it just that some people want to believe it so.

Nope D and D i could NOT nominate ANY TV or Radio Service that Offers the Public a true and Actual Proven fact on any subject, They ALL have their Agenda's and will print or broadcast whatever they wish, to try and convince the Public that They are ''The One,'' ?  The Media Has for years played games with the Public, I have paid very little attention to any of them, for many years now, !! I can get more Truth and Un- biased FACTS, on any subject that interests me, or Alarms me, by doing my own research On the Net, This is where all of todays Reporters get most of their Information from anyway, Only they report only the Bits that suit their Agenda !  

So sorry mate cannot recomend ANY AT ALL including the ABC, They all treat us like fools, and if we take any One of Them as Gospel !! Then that is what we are cry
