Some of my friends would shoot ppl?

[Michael De'Shazer]

I don't know what to make of this....

[Misbah]

Be worried?

On a more serious note, does knowing you are going to die mean people change their morals and principles? Or is that they are only not doing stuff (like shooting people) because of the what would happen to them (e.g. jail) and therefore if they know they are going to die they have no responsibility or worry? Does that make the last few minutes of you life, if you know you are going to die, your most free?

[Michael De'Shazer]

Interesting perspective, Misbah. I think it's different for different people. For example, ppl that truly fear God will be restricted in their actions, and ppl that don't will do many things they normally wouldn't do. And it's surely safe to say, most people wouldn't so what they'd normally do. Which brings about the next question: why don't we live right now like the last minutes. And (a) if it's because of consequences, are our desires worth it if we do it the last few minutes, and (b) if there aren't grave consequences, why don't we normally do those things?

hahah well be sure to know that Im not that friend!!!
hmm,,but would it worry you if I would steal a Mercedes and feel the thrill of being car chased by the cops? I figured if I injure myself along the way,,,hey, I only have 4 minutes to live..lol!

Hey, Ariam, I was on a plane today and I asked the girl sitting next to me what she'd do if she had 4 mins to live as we were airborne. She said she would find the hottest guy on the plane and screw him on the spot. I was somewhat disappointed because I don't think she was referring to me... :( Then again, I'd hate for someone to die in the middle of a session... That's gotta have some long term psychological effects.

But after 4 minutes, you'd be dead so long-term psychological effects wouldn't much matter. Why not die happy?

Why are we so determined to DIE HAPPY anyway?
What's the point of DYING happy? I mean, if you are killing yourself, I think escaping desperation and sadness is the point anyway...
If you are dying (not committing suicide)... still... what's the point of dying HAPPY

As I drift past
Onto the abyss
I see nothing
I don't miss
I don't think!
Oh the joy
Pointless sink
Into a void
HAHAHAH
is all I exclaim
as I go on past
never got the damn fame
never got nothing
had some regrets
but fuck it now
Cause this is the end of my text

Shoot people? Thats crazy. I wouldn't. Even though 4 minutes is a short amount of time, what is done in those short moments could have a lasting effect on how people remember you. No matter what I did in my life, I would be remembered for shooting people. Its more buzz worthy. My morals wouldn't change. And since I'm a God fearing person, I wouldn't have worked all my life on being suitable for heaven only to do 4 minutes or dirt to get into hell. lol

[Shanille]

I think thats the wrong question to ask on a plane. Im suprised she didint think you were going to blow it up! lol

I think Gary needs a hug LOL! I feel what you're saying, Shanille, but, being a God-fearing woman, wouldn't you want to do something a little more extraordinary than pray? I mean, if you had four last minutes to show God your gratitude is there anything else you can think of? The reason I ask is because a) praying is generic, and b) you probably pray everyday, and wouldn't you want to go out with a boom for God... Perhaps giving a homeless man your life savings... i.e. giving him your credit card and PIN number (as you wouldn't have time to actually get the money).

Four minutes!!!!!!!!i would make peace with my maker and be ready to join JAMAL! hopefully after life really exists.

[Shanille]

Don't get me wrong now, I never said I would pray during those 4 minutes. I just wouldn't do anything malicious that goes against my morals just because I have 4 minutes left. I would probably spend it with my children and mother. I would get in the last kisses and hugs, give some meaningful advice and let them know how much I truly love them. (I would also jot down a quick will lol)
