只要活到我觉得自己不能再进步那个程度，觉得人生剩下的日子都没什么意义了，就死都没什么好遗憾的了

如果要我现在死于非命我还是很不甘心的，不甘心所以才害怕死亡

Really? What kind and how do I get some?

快樂牛郎

Of course, as human, it's only natural to be short-sighted and spend as much as possible while you can.  So I completely understand those who think they should be kept alive no matter what the cost is.  I would do the same if I were in the same situation.  Who the hell cares if your kids don't receive adequate education or if you will be paying 60% taxes?

I strongly disagree with you, but lets do it gentleman's way
1. the figures do not add up, how much does it cost to pay for 3 month's hospice
    vs keeping 100 kids in school( in Canada, it would cost $7,000/student per year,
    it would be much different in Africa)
2. Saving 5000 African children from starvation would probably cost $400,000 but
      it is not what we are obliged to do, what we spend on refugees would cost much
      more
3.  IN my in-law's case, he is 3rd generation Chinese Canadian and his father and
      uncles paid the Head Tax, he contributed to CCP for 50 years. unlike those
      welfare receipients
I understand that  there are lots of less fortunate people in the world, but we have
to cover our own need first.
Canadian donated huge relief fund to Haiti, but we did it on loan, in which our children have to pay back, so we cannot be too generous, we just cannot afford to do so

但是你要知道很多人在很早年就再没有很大的进步了，我指的进步是人生的一个跃进，不是说从月入5000上升的月入6000的问题

Yes, I also don't agree with him/her. But I don't need to do actual calculation, cuz I believe all lives worth the same basically.

    How do you know what will you achieve next year?
    I don't mean winning the Lotto, but when opportunity knocks,
    make sure you are well prepared for success.

you need $800 to feed each starving child in Africa? What are you feeding them with? shark fin soup?  Just with bread and water, I can survive for a year with $800.

Of course you cannot educate 1,000 kids in Canada for a small sum, but you can do so in poorer regions like South America or rural China.

Hospice generally costs $150-$350 a day, so a 90 days period costs around $20K.  You can argue that your relative paid taxes all his life, but that's not the point of this discussion.
