Actually I'm small enough to escape out a vent or even through the bars....

Attention Mazkid, Attention Mazkid!

The real world would like you to return from fantasyland.

No offense Maz, but your way passed fantasyland. I went to the MCDC (Mongomery County Detention Center). People in there are normally only there for less than a year, so they didn't commit a felony or anything, but they still did something to get into there. They don't have ****!! Whatever they do have is what is issued to them by the guards. If you have something someone else wants (I.E a PS2) you risk getting beaten up and having it stolen.

BTW I was there on a feild trip with my health class.

Well, it depends upon how the accident was caused. For example, accidentally running someone over whilst drunk driving is not in my view an accident, as it was a deliberate action to drive whilst impaired. I would rather be the dead one, because I couldn't live with the guilt of doing something deliberately that then resulted in someone dying.

However, if you're driving along at, say, 20mph, and a kid runs out from behind a bus, and you run them over, then that truly is an accident. In that case I would rather be the alive one, because I am rational enough to understand that it is not my fault, and then deal with the consequences.

But you've got to really define the accidental part. Assuming that it truly was a genuine accident, I vote Alive

First off, we are black or Negro. Not both. And everyone knows we like white WOMEN, not men.

Back to the point of the Thread:
I would prefer not to kill anyone. I'd like to believe that I could live with the remorse of taking someones life.
But on the other hand. Dead and in Heaven, no pain, no suffering, sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Of course, you have to believe in Heaven.

How is this for timing ...

http://www.thecabin.net/stories/082002/loc_0820020010.shtml

A couple of guys were basically being stupid with real guns and one of them was shot and killed.

According to his family, Robert Johns did not mean to shoot his best friend who then died laying in his arms ...

I suppose the answer to the original question changes a bit depending on who the people are and what the circumstances were.

Lets say it was someone I loved very much. Would I want to live without them, or have them live without me. It also depends on their feelings toward me. By answering this question, you're making a decision for the other person as well.

That's what my Mom said (:

But as I mentioned in that previous post - you're making the decision for both people.

Let's deepen this even more.
Could you forgive the person who killed you if it was an accident?
I realize that once dead forgiveness is not possible to know, but in the hypothetical realm, could you?

 

[Pako]

At the point of being dead, I would hope that life would seem like just a trivial, middle ground to get to a better place of consciousness. Given that assumption, I think I could forgive and even thank the indivdual.

 

[MazKid]

Aahaha Well I saw that prison on TLC...it looked like a 5 star prison...

I'm not going to kill anyone or anything so I'll never end up in prison anyway...

 

[f1king]

If the killer would get away with the murder, then alive.
If there was no chance of getting away with the murder, I'd rather be dead I dont think Id like getting it up the ass in jail.

You know who you are and should be commended!

Pako,
I just noticed your sig line. Thanx for thinking of me and mine.
I also dig your answer to the question i added to the thread.

Hmm. So if I just believe in heaven it'll be there for me?

Here's one for ya'. What if you believed in heaven all along only to find out it was all a crock?!

But then it's the safest lie of all 'cuz if it is a crock it's not like you're gonna get to tell anyone, right? I mean you're dust, dead, gone... incomprehensibly, irrevocably no longer in existence.

Heaven is tangeable but untenable.

Nothingness is tenable but intangeable. :teleport:

 

[km]

k this is stupid can we get this clicked now plz

 

[Acid X]

I'd rather be alive.. Though sometimes im sure id like to be the one that died.

Dang, now that's deep.
I guess I was implying that you had done all the things necessary to avoid hell.
After all, if one exists then the other must. Otherwise, there is no incentive, positive or negative, for living inside the will of God.

I think that's a large part of chosing for both people. Maybe the other person isn't ready to die yet, and your dieing would send them into some kind of recoil and they'd "find God". Personally, I'd rather die and get this crap existance over with. The person who killed me will die soon enough, and when we see eachother in Heaven, we'll only laugh about it.

"Ha ha sucka! You had to live with my death on your mind!"

"Yeah well after you were gone, I slept with your woman."

"... so - we're all dead now anyway!"

[Dudebusta]

Dead

Why? because if you are alive you will always be thinking of what you could have done to prevent it. youll be driven nuts by guilt and youll end up doing yourself in.

[SaleenASL]

KM is just on a huge rant about how stupid some threads are. but i thought thats what the rumble strip is for....off topic comments.

 

[Spock]

death? are you idiots (no offence) but why would you think about that? its stupid

 

[Dudebusta]

nobody asked for your feedback, there was no need for it bacon boy.

This has become quite interesting, as people have injected their own visions of post-life onto their assessment of whether they'd rather be the dead one. Perhaps unsurprisingly, those who feel that (a) there is a heaven, and (b) it's where they're going, are quite happy to be the dead one, whereas those who do not believe in afterlife are more likely to want to live with the guilt.

Of course, it's also dependent upon the state of the poster's current life. See, my life is quite good at the moment, so I'm quite happy, and would be able to cope with the issues of causing someone else's death (see my previous post in this thread), but LoudMusic's perspective is revealed in his comment

Personally, I'd rather die and get this crap existance over with

So Psychologically, this is an interesting question, because one gets to find out quite a lot about the people answering!

This reminds me of the three guys who died and opened their eyes at the gates of heaven and Peter was asking how they had died:
The first said I was walking along the street and was killed by a fallling refrigerator.
The second guy said I thought my woman was cheating on me. I saw this guy walking on the street outside our apartment and threw the refrigerator down on him, cause I thought he was the one. The exertion caused me to have a heart attack.
The third guy says to Peter. "I was minding my own business, hiding in this refrigerator...next thing I know here I am."

You certainly have. Being that I'm typing this from school, I'll wait to reply though... (*Goes to find neon_duke*) Heh heh.

km-- Would you please STOP invading threads that, for some reason, you think are full of spam, and demand that the thread be closed? Are you just trying to get your post count up or something? If you don't like the thread, then don't reply to it! *smacks forehead*

 

[Jpec07]

I'd rather be the dead guy (Heaven should be so much better than my life is now)

Gil - it depends utterly upon the circumstances under which I was killed. If it was stupidity or recklessness on the part of the killer - IE, they were street racing, and hit/killed me - then NO, I could not forgive that person. However, if they had been reasonably dilligent,, excercising normal caution, and it was just one of those random occurances that strike from time to time, then sure. Forgiveness would not be hard under those circumstances.

But in answer to the original question: I'd rather be alive to atone for my mistake, to the extent that it was my fault (see above).
