Lets analyze the word.

Birth- when a child is delivered into this world. Was RV ever born? Is he human at all?
Day- when there is sunlight. or 12:01 AM being a marker for time
Birthday- a marker for the annual time of your birth[/quote]

Must suck being RV’s daughter and seeing all the other kids getting presents on their day of birth. =(

Na he is probably Jehovah Witness anyway. [/quote]

If only you knew. I’m the opposite of a Jehovahs witness.

I think it all comes down to his “my willpower is so strong, if I don’t believe in aging, then I shall not age.” bullshit

he’s such an inspiration [/quote]

I believe that aging is mostly in your mind. Think about all the brainwashing that happens everyday. by the medical community, by your dr. its everywhere. If you don’t think your mind plays a very strong role in how your body reacts, you may need to google “the placebo affect” its a well known phenomina, if a person beleives he’s getting a medicine to help their condition, even if its sugar pills, it almost always has some effect. and thats without really even tapping into your mind.

I say aging is bullshit. [/quote]

Out of curiosity, how long have you been saying ‘age is bullshit’?

I no longer believe in birthdays.

Fuck you father time!!! I’ve WON!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

144

This thread is hilarious.

Although I will say I’ve met people who do not celebrate special days of any kind but choose to celebrat life in general.

Ya know, like giving gifts out of the blue? On a Wednesday in august…just because.

I can see that showing a more raw and genuine love vs a mechanical set date where a person already knows what to expect.

Its alot more than that. I simply believe that age isn’t 100% inevitable.

Thats just to show the power of the mind. and what you believe, can have effects on your body and everything else.

I can appreciate one’s desire to refuse divulging his age. As a man approaching 40 and whose knees are creaking and back is aching I can sympathise. But if you actually believe that you’re body has not, and is not, being effected by the passing of time because your mind is ‘tricking’ it then you’re even crazier than I’ve ever given you credit for.

Don’t make me make another gif ffs.

lol. I don’t force my beliefs on my daughter. of course i buy her things for her birthday. But she also knows my feelings on the matter. [/quote]
I swear to god I’m going to get some acknowledgement from you!

How do you not believe in birthdays yourself, yet buy her presents FOR HER BIRTHDAY? Why not get her gifts at random instead? If she knows your feelings on the matter, wouldn’t she understand?

Or is it that you don’t believe in birthdays for yourself, since you’re “aging” (whether you like it or not, you are) and you don’t want to give in to getting “old”?

Just because you’re X years old, doesn’t mean you have to act old, I agree with that 100% so I’m not against you not agreeing with “aging” in society, I’m just trying to figure out how you can be against them but celebrate them.

Like eating meat, but hating and wanting to murder those who hunt and/or eat meat. You seem like you’re your own contradiction.

Why should i make my daughter suffer for my beliefs. and I buy her things all the time. But when it comes to me, I don’t want anyone to even acknowledge any birthdays. I just feel aging is the cruelest of all jokes and im not laughing and im not going to stand for it. call me crazy, but thats how i feel.

So just say “I don’t believe in birthdays, but I still celebrate the one that is the most important to me: my daughters’” and be done with it.

I’m not calling you crazy, just misunderstood and hard to get your point across because you’re often proving yourself a hypocrit. If I was calling you crazy, I’d advise you to look into getting a perscription for your mental health.

Anyway, to get this thread back on topic, I am an animal lover, in the sense that I love animals, own several, and respect them all. Doesn’t mean I’m against hunting them, eating them, and being proud of the trophy that comes with the experience/taste of the animal.

You can be a hunter, and still love animals. “Hunting” isn’t about just going out and murdering animals because of a hate towards life. It’s not called “Killing”, it’s “Hunting”.

I have to agree with RV about birthdays.
In my case, I prefer my own birthday not be acknowledged. My wife and son both understand this and my birthday comes and goes like any other day on the calendar.

I mean what purpose does celebrating the day of my birth serve? It was no accomplishment of mine. I had nothing to do with it, so why would a celebration and gifts be an obligation for those who know and love me?

Yeah, I lavish my wife and son with gifts on their birthdays, but that’s because THEY choose to have that acknowledgement, and I oblige.

Also, about age: it is a mind thing! I’ll turn 50 in less than a year, yet people who meet me for the first time cannot believe I’m that old. I do look young for my age and I believe it is no coincidence that my youthful view of life (playful, positive attitude, lusty, active) has had an impact on my appearance.
Think young, stay young.

You may have a point here. For years I’ve been told I have the attitude of a much older person. And people are really surprised to find out that I’m only 22. Go figure…

Well, you DO look kind of old and scruffy in your avatar.

I get it all the time, I go in to do a physical and they always ask “Are you the Dr”. Yes I am the PA, “You dont look old enough to be do this” I have a grandchild yes I am old enough.

You can be mentally young and stay vibrant, some parts of the physical condition can NOT be changed by anything. Your joints will wear down due to age, period.

ID I also hate my BD every year, I just do not like to be the center of attention. I end up turning off my phone and will not talk to people until the next day.

This is certainly true. But since the mind is the leader in many cases, we are often told (by well-intended loved ones) to slow down at a particular point in life, or at some activity that they feel could be damaging to us.
This kind of thinking could certainly hasten the aging process, as the “use it or lose it” mantra tells us.

Call me a murderer but right now my house is filled with the tantalizing scent of elk back-straps slow cooking in the crock pot. Dinner can’t come soon enough.
