Some of you might already know what this is about. Paul Walker who plays Brian O'Conner from the Fast and Furious series died in a car accident yesterday. I just heard about it from a friend and..dunno what to say..very bad news and such a waste as well. The man was a great actor and I'm assuming (even though I don't like assuming stuff) he was a good person IRL as well. Dunno what they are gonna do with the Fast and Furious films but they just won't be the same without him...
1 minute silence in his honor please (if you don't mind of course).

One more thing, life expectancy has been increasing in Africa (particularly S. Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe) for the last 10 years. Your sources are outdated.
Medicine, hygiene and education are significantly better now than it was in the 90s. Although there was decreases from 1990-2003/2005, the last 8-10 years have been increases. Maybe pollution is getting better, who knows?
i won't insist on this anymore since my sources are indeed from 2005-2010.
If lifespan has indeed increased in Africa then that's good news!

Trolling might be right about Africa. However, not a lot of other countries will decrease in life expectancy, which makes me wonder why you bring up a statement: "In like 50 years people will not leave more than 60 years." Like it is about people overal, while that is not the case:

Anyway, I think we talked enough about life expectancy in a Paul Walker blog :3
EDIT: read this sentence of text i posted "Since the beginning of the 1990s, life expectancy has even decreased by 10 years."
Even in countries like Japan or China, who already have a high life expectancy, have increased life expectancy by two years in the last decade.
The main source is a text I did at school but i am not sure if i can translate it cuz it will cost much time and unfortunately i don't have any...
If you really want to see something i'll try to look for other sources.
What I already posted though is evidence that life expectancy is plausibly going to become lower in the future at least in these kind of countries, unless there are huge changes in the world society.
The definitive reason in your article clearly points towards HEALTHCARE. In particular, the AIDS virus is difficult to handle due to poor hygiene, poor awareness and poor medical treatment. Of course, bad pollution is conducive towards poor hygiene, but again, it's not THE main reason.
The main problem is education and healthcare, not pollution at all.

Right now, one of the most heavily polluted areas is China and they have a life expectancy of 75 years.
Are you saying that medicine is going to go backwards in time and everything else that has helped us extend our lifespan will be forgotten and never used again?
this might seem hard but fortunately or not, this is nature. So let's enjoy life. Who cares about faith in humanity? In like 50 years people will not leave more than 60 years. So maybe start enjoing the present? A death is always difficult to overcome for anybody whose person died but life continues, and it won't be continuing for ever. So just use it or loose it by ****ing concers.
