I wouldn't like to live 250 years. At first it may seem fun, but after you look deeper into it you can find many negative consequences. E.g. you may have more time to do things that you've always wanted to do, but the chance of tragedies and catastrophes that may happen to you grow drastically. Another problem would be the sight of your loved ones die. With that much time on your side you'd see everyone that you love suffer or even end up being dead. Making our life longer in such a degree, would make us feel more pain than we've already had, and that's why i don't support it.

People often think that the past was better than the present or future, because they don't like the rapid changes and the new generations. It's very common to see an elderly person complaining about modern kids. This happens, because they dislike the rapid changes - the development of technology and new ways of spending free time. Everyone is used to what they were doing in their youth and what was avaible to them. Another reason of them complaining is because of the jealousy. As they age they start missing the old times and feel upset about them aging. Summarizing, people often feel better about the past as they miss their youth.
