Most people who reach extreme old age hsve just a few good years left before the deteriorate physicaly or mentaly.
Over 90 and still mentaly active enough to have a political agenda? capable of moving around independently? strap an explosive to self / wheel chair, pick a topic and have your say! there
is no better way of raising public awareness. Some young punk pissed you off? Im certain the abuse rate for the elderly would drop as soon as they decide to retaliate.

Is this advocation of senior citizens expressing social and
political ideals through vigilanteism and suicide bombing?
Because I'm pretty
sure terrorism is not age-discriminatory, making this idea
not only terrible but also very likely baked. |

I imagine most sane elderly people have the same fear of pain/death as the young - it's a self-preservation thing. |

Very poor idea - elderly protest suicide bombers [-] |
|
| |
If they're anything like my mother, by the time
they've strapped the explosives on they'll have
forgotten what they wanted to protest about. |
|

[po] They may have the same fear of pain, but, as
regards death, YMMV. |

stupid response! think about it. |

my brother, 10 years my junior (in 1994) knew he was dying and thought it *exciting* in some way I cannot imagine. some 17 years later I still feel death at some unknown date scary... |

your getting it all wrong I guess I didn't make it clear enough - the idea is about extremely old people who have retained their mental capacity and have a few decent years left, not some 67 year old. |

And its bombing (not necessarily involving other people)
for issues that are relevant to the elderly that otherwise have no way of being heard, like raising age pensions, housing etc. |
|

Setting off bombs has not been historically shown to be the
most effective way of getting a message across. Can
anyone here, without using wikipedia or any other outside
reference, recall the detailed agenda of the Unibomber, or
the specific stated objectives of the 9/11 attackers? I
sincerely doubt it. But I'll bet quite a few can tell us what
Martin Luther King, Jr. was advocating, or Susan B.
Anthony-- both people with bold, controversial messages,
neither of whom ever set off so much as a firecracker* to
promote those messages. |
