Luxie, go to hell :devil3: Some of the greatest philliosphers in the world agree with me, like socartus. Are you saying your small little mind is greater than his? I think not. I think you need to go and take a good look in the mirror and reconsider all your opinons(and your life). I stand by my arguement. Until you realise reality, you have no hope in life. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER COMMENTS AGAINST ME!!!!!!!! :angry:

My normal final statement now applys more than ever. :snooze: You all lose, :down: I win. :thumbs:

Actually kinda nice when you think about it.

Why not answer some questions instead of just venting?

For that matter, when will you present your argument? I know that you stand by your argument (I think we all got that), but what is your argument in the first place?

Who was, or is, Socartus? Am I supposed to know all his arguments off by heart? Why don't you just lend a little helping hand and state, in your own words of course, the relevant argument - or arguments - by Socartus (sic)?

Death is like sleeping. Can you ever remember falling asleep? No. You know that you fell asleep when you wake up, but you're never conscious of the actual process itself. Death is a dreamless sleep. You don't sense anything because your brain isn't doing anything, it might as well be switched off. Death is like flying, you try to hit the ground and miss... that is, the only way to achieve dreamless sleep is not to try to achieve dreamless sleep. It just doesn't work any other way.. The harder you try, the more awake you become, until at a certain point you begin to think about the time last tuesday when you forgot to do your math homework and felt really screwed the following day only to find that wooooaaah, you're asleep... and you never knew. Death is the same, you'll never know.

Death is a sweet dreamless unending sleep
Statements by two well known phillosphers.

Statement by one of you.

Quote:
during or "after" death since it is an identical state of non-self-reflection. So does not matter.
Problem is, it is not identical. Ok they may be no telling the difference, because once your asleep there is no telling the difference if your alive, dead, sleep, sleep as a one year old, sleeping as an 80 year old, sleeping as David Beckham(English footballer), sleeping as Britney Spears. But do we say it is identical to ALL the above no. Because the only diffrence is that one sleep has occured after a life and the other before life. There may be a gap of 60 years between. Do we say that all dreamless sleep in our lives are identical, they may seem identical but they are not!!!!!!! Get the point yet????????? Or am i talking to a brick wall!!!!!!! :banghead:

Anyway I have proved my case so
to all of you I say get stuffed!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are trying to tell me that there is no difference in living and never living once we are dead, you are wrong. I will be asleep. Ok i might not know I lived a life but the fact that I enjoyed the day and now I am sleeping after the day is the reason it matters. Every day you live, at night you sleep. When you are asleep you cannot remeber or reflect on the day,but we do not say it is the same to you as never living the day. Does it. In spacetime, to others and the fact I am asleep AFTER the day matters as well. NOW YOU ALL NEED TO SIT DOWN, SHUT UP AND GET BACK TO REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EXISTENCE ALWAYS MATTERS IT IS ALWAYS,EVEN IN SLEEP RELEVANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Death is a sweet, unending, peaceful dreamless sleep.

There is a well known term for what you are doing on this thread. I for one will not contribute any more to your little self-pleasuring game. :wave:

That's enough for now. This stays closed until future notice. For the record, being nice to people EVEN WHEN YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM is par for the course, here.
