philosophical question time

[Buzzer]

Following Bry's morbid death thread - if you could find out the exact time that you are going to die would you want to know?

The plus side is that you could put your affairs in order and say goodbye to your loved ones.

The downside is that it would hang on your conscience like the sword of damocles - you'd be constantly clock-watching.

I am happy to live in blissful ignorance.

 

[larus]

No way.

Would get you depressed as you get close, knowing that the clock i ticking down. What would you feel like doing in the day/week before the final day?

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

I think it might be a nice surprise not knowing where you're heading to after you throw a six.

 

[Buzzer]

but if you found out that you are to die in 6 months then you could make sure that you spend all your money, quit the job you hate and do the things you wanted to do before you died.

What a quandary.

Why not just do them now?

Thats depressing thinking you could have another 60 years of boring us with your sanctomonious posts.

sanctimonious

People. I give you the new London Irish.

 

[NMH]

Interesting fact; all of you are going to die, and a lot of your later life is going to be concerned with your declining health.

Not me though

 

[Silent Bob]

Are you David Icke?

 

[Braders]

yeah , prepare myself and my family for me finally pissing off and allow myself to do all the things i've put off until later to do..

shame i've only got half an hour

 

[Icy Gull]

I'd like to chose how I die but not know when. A quick death is all I ask

 

[coventrygull]

How do we know we are not already dead

 

[Blackadder]

Nope. Didn't do Saddam any good!!

in this day and age, there's no excuse for poor spelling.

 

[Gully]

Absolutely not, it would feel like there was a clock ticking and you would probably end up wanting it to be over in some warped way rather than regretting it was so soon. In my last job I worked in a welfare role, some of the people I worked with were terminally ill and had been told by the quacks how long they could expect to live...not a position I would wish on anyone. I would rather not know...I just hope that whatever I die from it is not due to someone elses' negligence or cavalier behaviour.

There is if you're dyslexic which I mildly am. I try to spell check stuff but you don't always have time. But if it makes you feel like the big man to take the piss out of it then please proceed.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

but you don't always have time.

what's the rush? this is nsc - a place of calm and reflection.

but on a side note, yes: it does make me feel big.

Good on you. So you accuse BoF of being racist which he clealy isn't but you don't mind having a pop at someones learning difficulties. What a strange person you are.
