    will be forgotten about in 2 or 3 generations time.

    never to be heard of again.

    are humans within their life span the worst thing to ever happen this planet?

    why are people so arrogant to think we are put here by an all seeing/ all knowing God?

    Go back to youtube, think the sumerians are uploading a new video

    How can you Guarantee everyone will be forgotten? What if Terry goes on a Killing Spree. What if someone join's the Military, pulls a Jack Churchill and Bring a Bow and Arrow and A broadsword to a Gun fight. (In World War 2 this happened. He captured 42 German's using only a sword. All at once!!!!)


    My point is, not everyone will be forgotten, someone could get famous.

    Someone said when you have lived a hundred years, you have lived a long time but when you have been dead for a hundred years you have only begun to be dead. Any idea who that was?

    What person has been remembered the longest do you think? I mean if one of ancient Greek legends say was actually a real person they have been remembered for a hell of a long time.

    Well he's been remembered longer than whoever created him that's for sure.:D

    how long have humans inhabited the earth?

    not long in the grand scheme of things.

    are we so arrogant to think we are the end all and be all of all creation?

    not likely,

    we have done more than anything before us to accelerate the destruction of the planet we live on.

    and people think we are created by a God? :D

    nothing you think or say will have a bearing in the the future,

    all those thoughts and day to day worries don't mean jack

    the sun will eventually burn out and everyone thinks they will be remembered.

    suckers.

    Sounds like someone is going through their teenage existentialist angst phase - It will pass.

    other kickass mofos who'll live on in kickass-ness.

    but im not fussed. ive moved 13,000 miles from home, and my mates all remember me. i'd rather live for the present.

    as for the arrogance re god.. i think originally, people figured out this god thing, as a way of trying to figure out how they got to be here at all. and, to many people, it surely did seem that they were the centre of the universe...

    im making absolutely no excuses for modern-day people though...

    You sound like Tommy Tiernan when he was on father Ted. Too much "My Chemical Romance" and checkered belts i suspect.

    Also i think that the way you perceive life is truly unique and may get you remembered forever. Write to the Irish Times , sign it "tear soaked forget me not".

    Yes, but if you count it in terms of scumbag-generations that number goes as high as 5 or 6.

    Omfg! You are sooo right! :eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,626 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    No, but most people are arrogant enough to think that being remembered is something important in the first place. Genetically, those that manage to have kids will be remembered, whether they're highly important people or nobodies. That's all that really matters


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭Mr.Lizard


    That's all that really matters
    Maybe to you it is. I'd rather be remembered for some momumental achievement, scientific breakthru or great invention than I would to be remembered 'genetically' simply for shooting another couple of hateful little humans into the world.

    Publish a scientific paper or make a discovery then

    That was aimed at Upward Spiral and OP, not you :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,006 ✭✭✭Ann22


    Jesus has been really well remembered, He died in AD33. Roman rulers are remembered and date back for donkeys' years. Caligula-the crazy fcuker died in AD41.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    You cant walk down a street in town without someone saying "Jaysus Wasnt Hilter a ****er".


    Remember OP I find that if you wear bandages on your arms and short sleve shirts it has the same effect of letting everone know you secretly cut "God is Dead" into your arms to take away the pain ....... (even if you dont)


    JAysis I miss being a teenager. Good times!

    Karl Hungus will be remembered for hundreds of years. People will say "You know that guy Karl Hungus who lived 600 years ago?" "Yeah" "He was a dick..."

    who loves japanese movies :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus

    Nah, in 600 years time, there mightn't even be a Japan any more, so it stands to reason that what I'm going to be remembered for is that I'm an absolute dick of epic proportions.
