Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't quite pick up the sarcastic tone of your voice.

And we've had debates on this forum before about hunting.
But I probably don't even need to tell you that...

Come on - dealing with death by shooting foxes?! Well, *I* thought it was obvious. Anyway, can't believe people even bother debating the issue, it's clearly wrong.

EDIT: Please don't turn this thread into such a debate! :)

Eh, I realised you were being sarcastic. Didn't feel the need to point it out.

Mutual Friend 06-10-2006 02:37 PM

...yes. And quite rightly. I was just talking to the people who did reply and took it seriously. Er... yes. :dead:

death is natural you should just accept and live with no regrets

November 23 2005 my life changed. Three of my friends-two of which I will never get to talk to anymore- were in a really bad car wreck. They were hopping hills on a back road near Elizabeth Indiana and hit a tree going around 90 mph around 11:00 P.M. The third kid was in the back and is lucky anuff to be alive. The two friends in the front died on contact. I have had bad dreams about what they might have been doing the time it happend. I still can't believe this happend, but I choose to go on with my life and try not to think about it to much.

Anyway, I move on and try to make life as fun as it can be no matter what.

Except when driving, hopefully.

Eh, it wasn't meant to be a joke. I just hope that a lesson was learnt from that.

My aunt cares for terminally ill and injured people, which gives her a delightfully deadpan sense of humour. Right now she's looking after a criminal who was being chased by the police along a country lane, and tried to lose them by turning off his lights. On a country lane. Needless to say, he's now paralised from the neck down because of his reckless actions. And people feel sorry for him… *baffled*

I did not take it as a joke. A big lesson was learnt from it.

Short term I deal with death very well. I get on with life, try and do things to the best of my ability and keep going even when I feel I can't.

Long term I do more damage to myself than good. Which has caused alot of my behaviour this year.

I think I don't feel sorrow if I feel that the dying one has had his or her chances in making his or her life satisfying.
In my family, I believe that I loved our grandma the most, but I still didn't cry at the funeral. She was old enough that she had had chances to make the life of hers as good and enjoyable as possible, so I don't find any reason to be so sad for her. But okay, I do miss her occasionally.
On the other hand, it was a great shock for me when my first guinea pig died, for he was young, loyal, and died painfully.

Or this is what I'm telling myself. I usually just block bad things out from my mind and don't deal with them. I believe that I will have to suffer from it in some part of my life. : D
