Thread of morbidity.

[Wings of Fire]

You're wrong.

[Slog Bait]

Probably.

[Nepsotic]

Definitely. First memories have nothing to do with self awareness and consciousness.

[Slog Bait]

Yeah I kind of gave up what I was going on about when WoF said that, thank you very much.

E: That referring to:

Yes. The brain isn't that simple. You can speak before you can remember, unless you're implying that your first words were said unconsciously?

[OANST]

Hey. You're wrong.

[Slog Bait]

Oh no I have been invalidated

Woe is me

[Nepsotic]

Everyone has their own job on this forum, and mine isn't yet sorted, so if it's ok, I would like to be the grammar police.

Oh no, I have been invalidated.

Woe is me

Fixed. I think I have OCD.

[Slog Bait]

The lack of any punctuation at all was intentional.

[Nepsotic]

I have OCD.

[MeechMunchie]

Yeah, it's a stylistic thing to indicate irony.

[OANST]

Hey. You left the period off of the second sentence when you were grammar policing.

[Sekto Springs]

Let's have a thread on morbid obesity next.

[Nepsotic]

No point, it would be a waste of a thread as the only thing that needs to be said about obesity is "fridge at the end of a treadmill". Problems solved.

[MeechMunchie]

Hey. You left the period off of the second sentence when you were grammar policing.

Plus "O.K." should be in capitals, preferably with periods, and one of those commas should really be a semicolon.

At least it would be entertaining. I'm tired of all of these "look how smart I am!" threads in OT lately. Let's talk about fat people, farts, clowns, penises, and clown penises already.

fat clown penises farting

[Sekto Springs]

Now that's a topic!

[Slog Bait]

Time to discuss it in great detail.

[MeechMunchie]

None will ever surpass The Thread Thread.

Post pictures of thread! Needles optional.

[Wings of Fire]

Yeah, it's a stylistic thing to indicate irony.

[T-nex]

fat clown penises farting

I feel a strange compulsion to draw this. I so would... I just may actually.


Either way people, back to discussing the boring topic at hand. Make a better thread if you find this too boring.

[Sekto Springs]

I'm tempted. I really am.

[T-nex]

Then do it. But please, next post made, be on topic. I don't really want to threaten with infractions.
There's no reason to post in here if you don't like the topic and have no intention in discussing it.

[Nepsotic]

I do, but to be honest I think we've milked it dry now. Theres not really anything left to discuss.

[Wings of Fire]

You could try refuting my asseration that it's entirely logical to fear death, and you, by pretending upon a higher level of understanding think you're justified in looking down on people that do, are a fucking moron.

You still haven't.

[Nepsotic]

Alright, calm your passion! If you look back at my previous posts, you will see that I specifically say that... Actually, it's not even worth it, I give up. I keep trying to explain to you but you continiously ignore me. Which is fine, but then don't turn around and call me a dick when you're the one refusing to listen. Forget it.

Speaking for myself, I still don't understand why you think it is logical to fear death. You haven't given him/us anything to refute.

Also, this is a thread of morbidity, so as long as we're talking about something socially disgusting it's on topic is it not? War, war is morbid.

I just got home from writing an exam on the Russian Revolutions of 1917, feeling a little rebellious from writing about it! XD

Because death is the end of life. The end of dreams. The end of consciousness. The end.

How is it not logical to fear everything you know coming to an end?

And as I've said before 'There's no point fearing non existence because once we enter a state of non existence we'll have nothing to fear' is a bad argument. We're here now. We're alive now. We're concsious now. I am entitled to fear losing everything I've lived with for twenty two years and will hopefully keep on having for the next sixty or so. It is rational for me to sometimes dread death, no matter how far away or inevitable it is.

The problem I have with Nespotic isn't that I find his opinion dumb. He's fully entitled to hold his own views about death and what lies beyond. He's fully entitled to play with ontology and let himself sleep soundly every night. The problem I do have is that he opened his argument by quite clearly stating that people who do not hold his opinion are being stupid. That opens him up to a thorough lambasting.

[Nepsotic]

I didn't mean it like that. I meant more that they are not looking at the logical side of things. So many times I've said 'It's fine to fear losing everything you've lived for, but that fear won't last very long because you'll be dead. I'm saying, (like I have said multiple times), that fearing the fact that you have no consciousness after death is irrational because you won't be there to experience it. It's like saying, "I have a phobia of Dinosaurs, me." "What, you're scared of them on the telly?" "No, when they're wandering about". Doesn't happen. I'm just saying I can't understand why people fear it when it's completely irrational. And what's strange is, I have a completely irrational fear of spiders, I know they can't hurt me (where I'm from), But I don't like them. People will say stuff like "oh, stop being a wimp". That's how I feel about people who fear after death. What's there to be scared of?
