[EvilBrat74]

No need to post tho.
I would like to see the poll result's from those that are willing to help with the research.
Thank's for the vote.

 

[Moridin187]

well what if we WANT to post?

 

[EvilBrat74]

That would be great if ya want to?

Okey dokey

Well.. I voted "No."

It's pretty simple actually.. I'm a fatalist.. I know that I won't die until I'm done with what I came here to do. I'm religious, I know where I'll go when I die. So I know I won't die before I should, and I know I'll go to a good place afterwards. Why fear it?

Sometimes I wish for it, beg for it, pray for it.. But usually, I'm glad later that it didn't come.

 

[Cheyenne]

I'm not afraid to be dead. I am afraid of suffering pain before I get to being dead though. That isn't quite the same thing, so I voted "no."

What Moridin said, with an added "I just wish I knew what the heck it was that I'm supposed to do!"

I agree with Cheyenne. I don't fear being dead, but I fear all the pain and suffering that I'd have to go through. Plus all the pain and suffering my family and friends would (hopefully) go through. So I dunno how you want me to answer it. No I don't fear death, but I fear the things on the way to and after death.

 

[EvilBrat74]

Cool relpy's!
Kinda gives me some insight on where some of the people are coming from.

I do not fear death, but it will be sad to leave behind the touch of the ones I love..... but I know there are many that I long to see that have already passed over....

 

[llee69]

Afraid of death no.

I hope I go out with a Viking Funeral of sorts. I want my friends and family to gather and celebrate my life and my love. To drink to who I was. To write on my casket, be it farwell or fuck off.

For a friend that died way to early in life his wife and I scattered his ashes from the back of my Harley. We went to the places that were important to him and left a part of him there. It really helped his wife close that chapter of her life. She always has their little boy so Randy will always be with her. This might not quite have anything to do with the poll, but somthing like this is how I want to go out.

 

[Xander]

Nope I dont fear death at all.
Its as natural as child birth and the only sure thing anyone of us will ever get in life. why be stupid and fear that?? Its coming wether you want it to or not.

However I do fear long lasting suffering and pain before death. I DONT wanna go like that. No sir not me.
I just hope to GOD that my loved ones and my family has heard what I have been saying all along, and pull the damn plug when the time comes.
I will be a serverely pissed off ghost if they dont.

AMEN

 

[Cibo]

I 2nd that.

 

[Andreina]

my own death: no

the death of my parents, grandmother, wider family and friends: yes

 

[Xander]

That actually bring up another issue connected with this.

Are you for, or against active death help??

I am for it. I cant hardly be against it when I want my loved ones to pull my plug when the time comes and I'm a character from Veggie Tales.

But could you, if that person so desired and there was no way back for him/her, pull the plug on a loved one??

As much as I would hate to do it, I will not crawl away from my responsibility to honor a loved ones wish, regarding this.

 

[SweetBrat73]

I voted Yes. I'm not really scared of Death itself, but like alot of ppl said before...I don't want to die painfully...that scares me. After death I'm just not really sure about and that's kinda scarey. So if you're scared of what's after death, I'd have to say you're scared or slightly scared of death.

[Calamity Jane]

Nope. Death is the easy part.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

yes, I could if the person was brain dead and no hope of recovery to a state they could understand the world around them.

If someone had cancer for example and I knew them well and we had talked about at a certain time they would like those extra shots of drugs to release them from the pain then I would. But I think there has to be some kind of law guide to this, or innocent people could be killed by money hungry greedy family.......

Oh I definately agree with that. Its not by far, and easy thing to walk into. On any accounts.
There should definately be some guidelines for it. Always.

 

[Ladybird]

I don't fear death..

... I welcome it.

 

[riff]

Yes, I fear it!

I'm not ready to die. I have so much I want to do and experience. If Death knocked on my door, I think I'd haul ass.

Maybe one day, I won't feel the same way.

 

[scylis]

other

my concious doesn't. in fact, about 90% of the time it's left to thinking on it's own, it downright WISHES for it.

my subconcious is very much afraid of death. it's a hold-over from the previous "me," from when i actually enjoyed life and really didn't think about the future, actually had a friend or two, and actually thought i could make something of myself. i'm not quite sure if its stubbornness is a good thing or a bad thing.

Fear death? No, there is nothing to fear. It can come as a blessed relief, it's arms welcoming. When you are finally there, staring death in the face, you realize for the first time that it is not the enemy you feared but, rather, a friend come to release you from all the pains of this world.

Many have stated that it is the pain they fear more than death itself. The human body and mind are a remarkable thing, when the pain becomes too unendurable, the mind disconnects. You are still aware of the pain but no longer really feel it. It's almost as if you leave your body for awhile. I know not where you go, only that you're no longer suffering. The disconnection is so complete, at times, that you imagine yourself talking to the people around you but, in reality, you are not saying a word.

No, there is nothing to fear in death or even in dying. It's easier than we imagine.
