calvino -> are you scared to die (5/10/2008 5:23:05 AM)

after watching a show about people who died and got brought back to life, i was just currious [8D]




ProRCRacer88 -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 5:27:44 AM)

"On a long enough time line everyones survival rate drops to zero." - Fight Club

That line really hit me. Its an inevitable truth and I've come to accept it. I'm more worried about accidentally taking someone out with me, causing people emotional pain, dying slowly, or being kept in some kind of weird coma where my senses and brain still work but I can't move.

Of course what I feel now and what I might feel if a chute doesn't open are probably two very different things.




qaiz -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 5:33:06 AM)

Whatever has to happen, will happen. Theres no point living in denial. People pass away. Its nature. Im not afraid a bit.

well, that is a good question, without getting to far in to "fuzzy teritory" with the rules, i can say that where you go depends on your beliefs... for me, i am fine dying, i can't wait to be gone from this world of sorrow, heartache.... to be living eternal[8D], i do know it is sad when people (or pets) die but it is all part of the cycle of life we all have a time to die and meet our maker, i just don't get why people get all "rara" about what happens to them after they die (science stuff, cryogenics) i mean, that makes no sense, when you are dead (barring a miracle) your goin to be gone forever i mean, nuts stuff. anyone see the show about people who had died but were brought back to the dead, that was amazing to watch[>:]




sheograth -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 5:47:33 AM)

I have not really put any thought into it, but as others have said it is natural and it happens to everyone. Interesting topic, but it is very intertwined with personal belief systems, and out of respect for everyones beliefs it may be an inappropriate subject for RCU - thats up to the moderators obviously.

I totally understand that aspect about it, the thing I find so interesting is how some people relate to it, just in general terms[8D], i mean, some are more scared than others, the thing i find interesting is how people will get paranoyed over stuff that they KNOW will happen in their lifetime just they don't know when[>:]

That is what scares most people.

My dad once said, "The day you are born is the day you start to die." If you think about it, its quite true.

agreed i mean, that prety much summs it up for you, you were born to die[>:], man, that is a strange feeling[8|]




sheograth -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 6:44:24 AM)

Yeah, but you can take that pessimistically or optimistically. You can say that life is just a slow death or you can say that life is a set amount of time and you should make the best of it.

definately, or as one song i like to hear says in one of the lines "someone shut me up so i can live out life" i mean, you can waste your life or you can live it to the fullest, i would love to live it to the fullest[8D]




sheograth -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 7:22:15 AM)

Anyway, I voted "slightly scary" just because it's strange to think about what the actual process of death feels like, in those last few moments. Barring reports of near death experiences and stuff, it's not we can ask dead folk what it was like. But all that said, it doesn't really nag at me, of all the events that can happen in my life my eventual death is the only guaranteed one.




adam-69 -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 10:29:02 AM)

i'm not scared. i just dont want to die before ive had a chance to live my life and do everything i wanna do. i dont wanna die young..but i dont want to live to be really old and can't even eat by myself..at that point i dont understand wanting to live [&:]




Foxy -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 11:16:25 AM)

Dying scares the hell outta me. Honestly. I love living, and don't want to die. That simple. [:o]

A lot of you guys who say, yeh, death is part of life, etc. don't know what you're talking about. When death stares you in the face, you'll soil your underwear like everyone else.




NitroNate -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 11:29:09 AM)

Not if you know where you're going.




rc rock -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 1:47:02 PM)

right now i'm not relly scared. the way i see it is: i'm 14 so i have a good 50-60 years average to live that means 3-4 as much as i've lived up to now. right now that seems to be plenty of time. i do think i'd feel differently if i was sick though[:o]

this is a fun site that tells you when your gonna die[X(] death clock




ssj2 -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 3:22:22 PM)

As far as this topic goes, whatever happens in life happens. If I were to die tomorrow, then I guess it was meant to be. I just roll with the flow...




Longhair -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 3:38:42 PM)

I've pissed off the grim reaper a few times by walking away from death - literally.

I remember watching the last Ghost Whisperer of the first season where the girl was dead and didn't even know that she was dead - that is what scares me more than dying.




comerford2@msn.com -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 4:15:48 PM)

the one thing that will happen to all people is death. I think it's how you die would be the scary part. It's funny cause I was just reading about car related deaths in the US and last year over 43,000 people died in car accidents and 2000 in motorcycle accidents. most could have been prevented and that is the sad part. My grand father was a firemen in 1926 and when I was little he would tell me stories about people burning and it scared the crap out of me. So I don't fear death because it will happen but I don't take dumb risks like not putting on my seat belt or helmet when I ride my motorcycle or drive in a car. I would like to live to see some grand kids and get some pay back on my kids but the males in my family don't live to long[&:]. I'm irish so most died from alcohol abuse over many years. I don't drink only from time to time I'll have a beer or wine with dinner.




JB COMP -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 5:11:25 PM)

calvino, You picked a weird topic, and I'm sure most would not like to think about.

Me I don't want to die but I'm not scared too, I would at least like to be married and have kids (and be at least over 30) when I die but its not up to what I want. So there's really nothing I can do, and since we're not promised tomorrow we should live as today is are last (I don't mean go jump off a building, or go rob a bank or anything like that)




RCKen -> RE: are you scared to die (5/10/2008 5:29:05 PM)

I'm going to drop a reminder in here on this subject. This can be a touchy subject to discuss and here on RCU it needs to be done without bringing in any religious references. RCU has a very strict policy to not discuss religion here. Please stay away from taking the discussion that direction or I will be forced to remove the entire thread.

Anyone who isn't suicidal is going to be scared when a gun is to there head. Dieing is not something I'm scared of, and think about every day of my life. If people were truly afraid of dying, nobody would ever leave their house.

I voted not scared, but you do start to think about it when you see a story on the news or something. It could happen at any time.[X(] Talk to you guys later,:D or will I?[X(]
