Life. Death. Happy, Endless.

Interesting concept, thoughts?

Definately die happy. Of course, I'm assuming there is something after death. If there was nothing at all, maybe I'd make another choice.

Since I am assuming there is nothing after death, I guess that is why I picked the first choice. I couldn't imagine passing away, and then my mind blank in darkness, for_EVER, all eternity.

Kind of surprising that more have picked die happy. The live forever option doesn;t say that you would not be happy while living forever.

Exactly. Why die happy when you can live forever (and be happy). A lot of people apparently want to die while getting laid...

I chose to live forever. This is due to the fact that I know what is here and am unsure of what dreams may come when I have shuffled off this mortal coil. In addition, if you think of it another way there is supposedly a thing called "everlasting life." That is assuming you believe, and have not blasphemied the name in "Jesus is a trout" threads...

live forever. It doesn't specify if your sad or happy when you live forever, and who knows what happens after death....

Definitely live forever. Die happy could mean getting hit by a bus tomorrow (if you're happy now) and I don't think most people would really prefer that, given the impact on their families, etc.

Live forever means that you have to see the ones you love grow old and die... you have to stay and suffer through it. Tough. I don't know.

That's the key. Just because YOU died happy doesn't mean that there aren't devastating, adverse consequences for those you love. I could get struck by lightning while getting a hole-in-one playing golf tomorrow, and leave my wife and small children in a bad situation.

But live forever is a curse. Have you ever played Planescape:Torment? It may seem cool and everything for the first couple of hundred years, but after that all you'll want to do is just die already.

Interesting word choice given your method of death.

Live forever?

This planet won't be here forever. I'd get pretty bored floating through space forever.

Living forever could be on life support in a room with the blinds closed or in a wheelchair with Alzhiemers not knowing who the hell you are or why that lady keeps looking at you and crying.

I think I hope I die before my friends do
Because the alternative makes my stomach hurt sometimes

Does my body age if I choose to live forever?

I f I choose to live forever, do I have to sword fight with other FOFC members when I bump in to them, with the winner of the fight absorbing the power of the loser (who incidentally gets his/her head chopped off).

I figured I'd get over it after about 1000 years or so.
