....everything on this planet that is alive right now will be dead. Ain't that a squeak. Hopefully there will be other living things that replace the dead things.
Don't know why I posted this. I'm not depressed, but the enormity of 5.5 billion people dieing in the next 50 or so years just seems realy heavy.
Kinda makes all this other stuff seem like nonsince....

HuH?

oh im not worried, that is the way that it's supposed to happen, life-death. It just kinda dawned on me that more people are going to die this century than many past centuries combined. Me and you included!:eek:
that's a lot of fek'n dead people!
-
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIEEEE
when your worried or in doubt
run in circles , scream and shout
-
True hmmm.
But will it really be enough with how the population is growing?
Hell if I live to 60 I will have outlived every male in my family on both sides!

you're not getting the point of this post. :D

the post means that you realized that your problems are not really anything compared to the big picture?
in that case, wtg.
you are one step closer to hitting bottom :)
rent the movie Fight Club, by the way.

Well that would be a good point and it would be true, but that's not the point :)
I've seen Fight Club about 20 times :D well really only about 12 or 13 times because the first 18 times I could only make it about 1/2 way through before I'd get board or something would happen that made me have to stop watching. Well finally one time I turned on HBO and it was right at the last part I remembered seeing, which was when he's going from city to city looking for Brad Pitt. Man 10 minutes later I was really pissed off that I had missed the second half so many times. The second half of that movie really is the best, except for the part when they show the hot chicks boobs.
kick bellybutton flick :) and more to the point of this post
-
the big problem comes in 5-7 billion years when our sun starts gettin' too big for it's britches and things get really hot around these parts.
will we be on our way to other places by then or still squabbling over invisible friends and resources?
speaking of burning one...;)
-
If we're all going to die, why don't we all do what we damn please. For instance, I'd like to fly a Spitfire. Should I just go steal one and have my way with it? What worse thing can happen than dying-in a crash, or later while being chased by the police? Don't we all die in the end?
I think society is built somehow on the assumption we are all immortal. How can u live bounded by so many constraints when you know you'll die someday??!?!?!?!?!?!
-
dont think about it just makes life worse..... when it happens it happens man!
I get depressed when someone brings it up or i think of it
-
There's a saying that I believe is still true...
The people that are allive today outnumber those that have died in the past.

LOL good one thanks Animal. :)

"everything on this planet that is alive right now will be dead"
is that so?
what about amoebae & earthworms? - they dont die, the just keep on dividing...

Yes, and if you were born 2000 years ago, you, Udie, would have been dead by the age of 25 or so most likely.
You, being a great guy but also being sort of emotional, may have lived to the ripe old age of 32 or so as you probably wouldn't have been carrying a sword and a shield into battle.
Me - gone by 21, from war or some STD. :)
We (as in people living in the USA on Earth today) have it easier and sweeter than anyone else ever has, barring being a Pharoh - but even Pharohs died young by our standards.
Climb out of that hole Udie.

here's a thought for ya.
5.5 billiion people.
so, even if you're a 'one in a million' kinda guy. theres still 5,500 dudes just like you.

This wasn't a "depression" post. I just had a moment yesterday when I thought how funny this whole thing is.
and if it were 2000 years ago i probably would have been dead long before 30 :) I like S words to ya know :D (There's an SNL joke in there)
-
It's not all doom and gloom, Udie :) Just think - in 20 years or so the homeless (3 billion of the then 10.75 billion people on the earth) will have their organs harvested to keep the politically correct alive! All you have to do is not make waves for the existing government and whammo! a centuries-long life and all the soylent green you can eat :)
So you see, there is a bright side! Many of us won't be dead in a century. We'll be living happily under the beneficient discretion of our genetically streamlined (and hence, superior) leaders. All hail Kahn!

everything alive dies
everything that dies is reborn
we don't get out of it that easy :)
ps
Fight Club sucked eggs

Look on the bright side...in 4.5 billion years, the sun will become a red giant, and expand beyond the earth's orbit, incinerating the entire planet.
Mark your calendar.

Heh, like the skeleton of a munk in Rome, and the caption:
"What you are, I used to be. What I am, you will be"
:D
Or, to quote Bad Religion:
I'm not good at giving morals,
and I don't fear the consequence,
if life makes you scared and bitter,
at least its not for very long
Heheh, there's comfort in that, eh?
Ah, yes, the ever existential questions in life. I feel with you Udie, for you face the same questions I do. I look at the people around me, and I think that soon, we all shall have been, never to be again. Just like the individual that made the flint axe I saw at the museum, an axe made 3000 years ago.
Alas, such is the cycle of life. Here today, gone tomorrow. And it really doesn't change a thing - all living organic things on theis grea tplanet of ours is but a fart in space in the grand scheme of things. The universe does not care when gigantic systems collide. It does not shed a tear when great suns are swallowed by greater suns. It will not worry when all the water on a fine little planet is vaporized in an instant as a star expands millions of times.
But, here we are, idly watching these things we see as constants, dimly trying (and for most, succeeding) to repress the truths in life. It does not matter, in the end, whatever you do. The worst things, the best, all will be naught, diluted by the vast expanse of events around you. Soon again, the particles and connections that make you a sentient being will be spread across the universe, be altered and never be the same.
And whatever you do on this little planet, it will only have the most miniscule effect on the grander scale of things.
So, smile, drink and be happy. Beats the crap outta the alternative.
And always consider the odds - how diddlying likely was it that you'd be sentient of the great things, the massive mindboggling complexity of the universe around you? Not very.
So you better be thankful for it Santa, you ungrateful bastard.

Santa wins :)
Santa, do you know how many times I've realized how lucky I was that for my turn at the big game of life I wasn't born a fly or an ant or worm. What a rip off they got :D

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.

LOL Udie, been thinking the exact same thing myself :D
"Oh, I'm alive. Think I'll use these wingie "
We may be utter ruthless bastards, but at least we kick ass.

Man you should take a drive through east texas at midnight durring spring/summer/fall. You get LOTS of kills of small unlucky beings that were not only born an insect, but born within flying distance of headlights :D
I've seen em so thick that i've had to pull over and clean the windshield because the wiper water wasn't enough :eek: :eek: Yeah we ain't got it so bad.....

damn funked, now that song is gonna be in my head all night
all in dream...aaaaaaaaaaaall in a dream :)

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Life is a full contact sport and NO one gets out alive.
Just live each day and do those things that are important to you. You'll never live long enough to do them if you put them off. You'll never get young enough in the future.
You cannot live in the past or the future we all live in the present.

I still get the creeps when I watch an old silent film, like a Buster Keaton film, and realize that everybody in the movie has long since croaked. Even the extras in the background, and the crews that filmed it.

right?! When I see an episode of Cheers and they show the old pic from the 20's in the into I think the same thing. They're all dead, maaaaybe 1 or 2 left, but most likely they've lived their entire lives. What will be really wierd is the next generation when the pictures are in color.
Think about pics from the civil war. The grandchildren of the people in those pictures are mostly dead :eek: it's possible that a couple may still be here I guess.
And in about 60 years prolly none of us will be here, maybe a few of you younglings.

No....

Heh, another song quote:
Paralysis from forces raging out of control until
my confidence and will are at an all-time low
Just directionless wandering
Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets
Isolated hopes and hypotheses just
Leave me feeling so hungry
Born of the Earth (Are we blind?)
We weren't given a choice (There's no way)
What about free will? (What we have)
Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith)
See them run in place (Here and now)
in the human rat race (No reward)
So much dead weight (No debate) to our distress (Accept your fate)
Life begins when you accept your fate
