Make A Stand?

Post by cronus » Sun May 11, 2014 4:41 pm

What one issue is worth dying for today? Name yours? Anything except love, a cop out, love. Would you die to bring down CO2 levels for instance? :read:

You mean like this issue gets completely resolved if I die? Or I die in the process of fighting for it, but it might not get resolved?


This hypothetical is too hypothetical for me.

I would make a stand for my TV. I would if I was any use with a hammer and screwdriver. But I'm not. So I'll buy one from Argos.

Where do ideas go when we die? Should make no difference to choices made before we depart. Success and failure likewise after the die is full cast on a decision.

Apart from love the only thing worth dying for is to end unbearable pain

Right now I'd die for a bowl of vanilla ice cream with peach slices in syrup. :drool:

I'd sacrifice my life to become immortal.

Just like Jesus did. He so loved the world, that he had a nap for three days.
And on the third day, he rose again. Fuckin cheat.

I would make a stand out of treated pine, so I could leave it outside in the weather without it rotting away...

I'd die for revenge in the right circumstances. Next to orgasms the great-get-even is the most pleasing emotion to have on exit I figure.

I'd die to save one or either of my kids. Is that love or something else? Other than that, I won't die for anything.

Everything Scumps posts is newsworthy, that's why. At least he thinks so.
