That is, when it pertains to you dying.

I'm not. I cease to think/exist/anything so I couldn't even know that I died or lost anything or anything. I am nothing but circuitry that corrodes instantaneously without a power source... I'll never know.

I fear injury more than death. My life revolves so much around physical activity that I don't know what I'd do with myself if I broke a leg. Or worse. I'd be a total disaster.

Yes.

Natural selection has conditioned us to be, if you select anything but "yes" you are lying or have a mental disorder.

As long as the Kurgan doesn't come and cut my head off I'll be ok. I tend to spend a LOT of time on holy ground.

I don't fear death.

I fear going before I do the stuff I want to do. But there is no reason to fear death. It's probably like falling asleep. Of course there is also the fact that the brain goes haywire when it starts dying and releases shit tons of everything, so you could also have an awesome party in your head when you die.

No.

Not wanting to die is different than being afraid of dying. If natural selection worked like that nobody would leave the house.

I fear death because of how many people depend on me... including me.

To all those who said no, I guarantee you will be shitting your pants in front of a firing squad.

That's because you're in front of a freaking firing squad. That vs being in a hospital bed while your organs slowly shut down are completely different things.

Cool, you're still alive!! :thumbsup:

Also checking out because of an opiate overdose isn't going to be scary at the time specifically because you've just had a shit ton of opiates to take the edge off.

Too busy chewing on the finger of the guy who gave me my last cigarette.

Not really.

Then again at 26 I've been over paranoid at what drinking might be doing to my heart and brain.

If I die, oh well, I'll just be dead.
