Are you afraid to die?

[Titanss]

don't be all hard fuckers

you know you all would be crying like little bitches if death was near.. QQ

[Dontkare]

I'd like to think that I'm not afraid to die, but then again you can't really say that until you're sitting there with death staring you in the face. I know we all have a chance to die every day from various stupid things but, and this may sound pretty cheesy, if I were in a horror movie scenario and was stuck in a house with some crazed maniac with a chainsaw, you bet your sweet ass I'd be afraid of death.

[Mizango]

Not so much afraid of dying as I'm afraid of the uncertainty of what's after. I'm not so sure I belief in an afterlife in the purist sense, but I'd really like to hope there is more than just a never ending sleep.

"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides." -Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan brah. He's 99% of the reason I am into science as passionately as I am, his brilliance knows no limits.

Shit, son, I woke up this morning, punched a fucking Viking, bathed in the blood of my enemies and banned six motherfuckers. Then the 'Hawks won Game 1. I EMBRACE MY GLORIOUS ENTRANCE INTO VALHALLA.

:o I think I'm in love...

Man I would say some stuff but you guys would just turn this thread into 10 pages +. Anyways, everyone has that fear, but If you believe in certain things, then it will sooth your thoughts.

[GentaiShinigami]

The thought of the sadness and suffering my death will bring to my loved ones (wife etc) bothers me much more than the thought of death itself. If you live your life properly and with no regrets you should have no reason to fear death (lol I think that is in like 500 animes, but it's still true).

Nope.

No, just do everyone a favor and leave.

Itll be some shit about how God put swine flu here to smite fags and people that don't follow christianity blah blah blah. He will shit the thread up and Isladar and Sono will be up all night infracting people. Do you really want that? HUH!?

Lets keep it about death for a little while. Im still interested in who are organ donors and to those that aren't, why?

Inb4 "God gave them to me so they're mines"

Nah son, cant chance it.

[Dontkare]

Well, not sure on the validity of this statement but I've heard that if you are a donor then they don't try as hard to resuscitate you when your heart stops.

[Maguspk]

I think we are incapable of even comprehending the concept of death in order that we might not be depressed 24/7. That being said, I don't fear death, but if I was in a life-threatening situation, as another poster mentioned, I could see myself avoiding death at any cost necessary as one who is afraid of something might avoid it.

Yeah that seems to be a common fear, which is something I can understand. But from my POV I have no desire to be Schiavo'd out of pity. If I need to be on a respirator and need machines to keep me alive I'd rather be let go. I guess since I had to make the decision to pull the plug on my mother I have a bit of a skewed pov on the situation, but I see your point and can agree with that.

If I hit 65 and start deteriorating I'm immediately signing as many damn papers as people want that say if I need to be kept alive that way, pull the plug plz kthx

That too, I mean if I see death walking down the street im getting the fuck out of the way. Just because you don't fear death doesn't mean you openly invite it with open arms. im glad you brought this point back up lol. Stupidity does not make you brave.
