The Worst Way To Die

[phee]

I can actually think of a lot of very awful ways to die... some that I think would get others somewhat up set with me, if I were to state them...

I will say this though... a physically painful death is not the worst way to die... not by a long shot, there are other ways to die that are much much worse

Chatting around with your buddies in a Buffalo, and you run over a section of the road that's laced with whats called "black jugs of death", and it blows the Buffalo in two, including total destruction of the road.

And no one can get to you because the route wasn't cleared. So it take about 30 minutes for them to get to you.

the worst way to die is to die in insignificance......

..."who was she or he?"

"I dunno.....so what's for dinner?"

[when i die I want the whole world to mourn.]

I guess that would be subjective. I wouldn't really care if no one knew who I was after I died.

yeah... my wants will end when I am dead I am pretty sure... I have no worries at all for after I am dead, the dying part would suck though...

I guess I would say that I have practiced nonexistence for an eternity before I was conceived, and it didn't seem to bother me at all, so I suppose after I am dead and once again practicing nonexistence, it won't bother me again...

thats a shame dude. Especially coming from a Father.

I mean no disrespect, but simply existing to do so (to just exist) or to choose "surviving" as an end goal.....to me that's such a waste. It's important to me to know that i did my best with how I lived, that I pushed myself to grow and give back. Perhaps I've misrepresented what Im talking about. I don't need the Mighty STEVEN to be remembered as a legend. But I do want to know that I've lived out the ideals and values that I claimed to embrace, that I tested it, that I took some risks and had true conviction in my position, that's what I want to leave behind.

You've missed my point then Phee.

It's not about you and me.....and in nonexistence its safe to say that you've practiced nothing and therefore left nothing behind to be measured.

How you choose to live now however can be measured out in degrees of intent.

Anyone who truly lives a purpose filled life leaves a trail behind him or her, its inevitible, and there are always people out there searching for exactly that which you left behind to ponder, that too is inevitible. You WILL be thought about and considered when your dead Phee, you WILL be judged by the living left behind you, regardless of whether you care about it right now or not. Because somebody else somewhere along the line will care.....

No, no, you missed it too.....

No, no, you missed it too.....

'splen it to me Lucy......

[CandyQuackenbush]

*is not a thread jacker*

It's about the worst way to die. Not about being judged.

Tell us how you don't want to die.

Yes... but after I am dead, whether I am judged or not is no longer my problem (that is assuming that the universe isn't a figment of my imagination and won't end when I die, but regardless my universe will end when I die)

here's one of them one's where our personal perspectives can cross over and create a haze a bit....

...I DO get hte original intent of the thread.

I offerred up a 1/2 Jack. I am an admitted jacker. but I did not jack in jest. I jacked in good faith that it may continue onward with a jacked life of its own. sometimes one good jack deserves another.....(plus I just wanted to).

My thing is Candy that I don't care how I die, or don't die, I don't conceptualize that way.

I only care about how I live.

PS - I like Apple Jacks too....

Hey man, your not Lucy....

of course its not your problem bud, it aint my problem either. I'm talking about a healthy sense of burdon in the right now, thus the reference to intentional living.

I agree that YOUR Universe will die when you die, your done, off the hook, did your time.

and then you hand your shit off to your children, your friends, your sphere of influence.....it becomes a part of them. I do find it interesting that you used the word"problem" to describe your life though.....

Heh... I usually describe people judging others as their problem... I didn't describe my life as such, just when others judging me after I am dead... definitly their issue not mine

I always find this "judging" thing comical, everybdoy judges bro, even you.

right now your reading this and making a judgment on whether or not its more needless Steven crap or if its worth continuing. A minute ago Candy made a thall shalt not threadjack judgement (and I was hoping she'd explain your position). I have made the judgement that a wasted life is a shameful thing and who gives a rat's as how you die you'd be better off beign more concerend with how you live. You have made the jdugement that it all counts for nuaght anyway once your dead, and perhaps that the living should not judge the dead. ANd I have made the judgement that its impossible not to judge each other and our values and ideas...

anyway like I said, your not Lucy.....

Wow, someone's angry....

[phee]

Wow, someone's angry....

Yes That is my judgment as well...

And for the record... I never said that I didn't judge people, I said that peoples judgements are their own issue... when I judge people that is my issue... not theirs...

Back on topic....

I think that being beaten to death by someone using your own live infant as a bludgeon would really suck

[freydis]

Hmm..... drowning in a vat of lard, that would suck.

[freydis]

ooooh...... or inhaling fire.

[phee]

asphyxiating on your own genitals would really not be good I think

[freydis]

ew. that was gross.

Hmm..... falling into a hive of fire ants, having them crawl up your nose and in your ears, stinging from the inside until you die of shock and poison?

[phee]

Let's see what else.... Oh I know.... being raped to death by a rabid Grizzly bear would sort of be bad...

[jadnifer]

Let's see what else.... Oh I know.... being raped to death by a rabid Grizzly bear would sort of be bad...

WOW!! That would be extremely awful!!

Being tortured until your body cant take it anymore.

Being dismembered slowly would also be bad.

*side not*- the previous discussion was very interesting and as long as it pertains to the original thread I dont have a problem with it going off on something else...just as long as it relates!

[phee]

Hmmm....

Let's see... having to watch as your loved ones are pureed and then you are tied into a vat and drowned in the liquefied remains of your friends and family... I think that would really suck, at least a little...

[jadnifer]

Suffocating in your own vomit would be pretty awful
