Would it matter if you knew the date of your Death?

DaBreno · 20-06-2006 01:36PM #1

Something I was wonderin last night after a few. Do you think it would be a good thing, would you attempt to do more with your life if you knew to the day how long you had left? I suspect it would be the kick in the backside I badly need. I dont do very much anyways, if I knew I had 27 years and 12 days left it might actually spur me on to do the things I should be doing.

Or would it just depress the hell out of you?

The_B_Man · 20-06-2006 01:40PM

BAD BAD THING!!

be fine at first, but the closer the day, you'd be freakin out. There'd be some things you could control like u could plan ur own funeral, decide where uwanna die, but nah, overall its bad. nobody wants to know when they're gonna die. people are happy to think they'll live til their 100. knowing would only take the hope out of life.

Blowfish · 20-06-2006 01:41PM

If you knew exactly when you were going to die, you could pretty much do whatever the hell you wanted to, and take stupid risks up until that day.

6th · 20-06-2006 01:43PM

You know the day before your due to die people would go nuts and commit some crazy crimes - i know i would!

Ruu_Old · 20-06-2006 01:52PM

Yep Id freak out closer to the time and then start going through "the list".:eek:

Big Nelly · 20-06-2006 01:55PM

Would be great crack, would run out in front of cars etc knowing I wouldnt die, would never be afraid of anything....mighty

jester77 · 20-06-2006 02:00PM

Would be great to know, would hate leaving some € behind when it could have been spent having some good times!

ThrownAway · 20-06-2006 02:00PM

Yes. I can't think of anything worse. [maybe going blind] The time's a ticking

I've a terrible fear of getting old too. I was driving with my dad the other day and a really old man must have been about 85 passed us. My dad who's 41 was like ''what's the point'' You're just rotting away with no ambition whatsoever.
I already can't even cope with the thought of reaching 26/27 in like 8/9 years time. Aging creeps me out and everyone tries to pretend they don't mind and they wouldn't want to go back to when they were young again

I've noticed too allot of older people in there late 20's and 30's are very jealous of young people like teenages and constantly complain about them.

Try this, I,m going to die when I,m.....wait there!

Drowning (7%)
Alcoholism (6%)
Alien Abduction (5%)
Homicide (2%)

If I knew when I was going to die, I would definitely tool up and go hunting out some people I don't like. I'd spend a few months lifting them from the streets and into the back of my windowless van one by one and taking them to my shack in the country, miles from anywhere*.

Then I'd have me a party with some good music, beers, the blowtorch, pliers, knives, bullwhips, shackles, lump hammers, monkey wrenches, baseball bats, hacksaws...and those few special people would pay dearly for their sins against me over the months before I died. I'd use the knowledge gained from my St. Johns ambulance to keep them alive to prolong their agony. Who said St. Johns ambulance were all goody-goodies

*but close enough for Tesco deliveries...even sociopaths have to eat you know

whiskeyman · 20-06-2006 02:29PM

I'd take out life insurance the day before...

I've taken it before but...

Thursday, November 11th 2055
At the tender age of 67 years old.

On that date, you will most likely die from:
Cancer (10%)
Alien Abduction (7%)
Alcoholism (6%)
Heart Attack (5%)

Not cancer :mad:

Whoah, that's mad! I'm not too worried about death or getting older, I dunno, I just kind of go with it. I'd probably prefer to not know though, just so I'd be myself, and not affected by unnatural knowledge. But I like the invincibility idea, running out in front of cars and that.

Pherekydes · 20-06-2006 02:45PM

You go to a fortune teller and she specifies a date and a time and you check your diary and :eek: it's the day you are flying to Lanzarote on your hols.

Even if you don't get on the plane it's a "Final Destination" type scenario...

I wish I was like that but I can't be

It's all too terrible. Maybe it's just the thought of being old woories me and hopefully when I am ''old'' I won't care but yeah that's a great idea, to run out infront of cars you'll end up paralyzed for the rest of it

Setun · 20-06-2006 03:00PM

Yeah true. So maybe I'd just have a few extra drinks then, leave the cars out of it.

Alien abduction?? Does that mean they kill you? :eek:. Tis a different way to go though I guess :rolleyes:
