POLL: If you only had one month to live, would you want to know?

[Aquaman]

I would like to know but I would'nt like my loved ones to know.

Cheers,
Aquaman

 

[PricklyPete]

Of course. There are a lot of things that I am putting off doing because of long term responsibility. If there were no longterm, my complete focus would go to short term.

No. Hell no. Once you know, you'll do nothing all day but wait to die.

 

[jjones]

I try to live my life like it's my last day alive, but yeah, it would be convenient to know I only had a month. There's some business things I'd get better organized for my wife so it wouldn't be as confusing for her when it's my time to pay a visit to the ferryman.

Orrrr..... cash out all your savings, go to Vegas and live off of booze, drugs, hookers and the fun of it all!

 

[Mayfriday0529]

Yes i want to know.

I would take care of some family items, use my terminal illness to my advantage to get laid and after that take out some people that don't need to be in this world anymore.

Fildel Castro...
RIAA presidents etc stuff like that.

hookers? do you have any idea how much sympathy sex you could get for free?

 

[loic2003]

I'd crack out the heroin, buy a huge bike and rob a rich bastard, not necessarily in that order.

Oh and steal a plane. I always wanted to do that.....

Do every drug possible, max out CCs, do absolutly everything I'd ever dreamed of doing

 

[Rock Hydra]

I wouldn't. Most people don't generally know when they're going to die anyway. So, what should make me so special?

 

[moshquerade]

no i wouldn't. it would definitely ruin the month

This movie sounds intriging. Do you know if I can rent a copy? I don't suspect so. Or know where I can buy it.

Well yeah, but you might wait to die after spending all your money on hookers and booze and snorting a line of coke a foot long off your dead boss's face after you waste him.

Two elderly men had been friends for 40 years and shared a fanatical love for baseball. One day Bob said, "Dave, if you die first, you have to find a way to let me know if there's a heaven, and if they have baseball there. If I go first, I'll do the same for you." Both guys agreed they would do whatever they could.

Some time later Dave passed away, and the next day Bob's phone rang. "Bob, old buddy, it's me, Dave! I know you must be shocked to hear from me, but I'm keeping my promise. I only have a minute, so listen - I'm in heaven and they have a great baseball league! It's awesome! But I have a bit of bad news, too - you're pitching next Saturday."

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Definately.

Thirded - though I'd have a tough time making up excuses why I dropped out in the last month of school, started ditching material possessions, and crying a lot.

how exactly would you ask someone if they want to know wether they're going to die in a month or not? how is it even an option if you've got a terminal illness ro something, what are they going to say? No! You'll be fine! I swear! I'll bet your life on it.
yeah, i'd want to know though, why wouldn't you, if you didn't know you'd waste the last month of your life on menial things when you could be doing something exciting.

I don't normally listen to, let alone quote from, country, but:

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Verse 2
He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Bridge
Like tomorrow was a gift
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it

Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin' (4x)

Makes sense here.

It's better to go wild for a month than to do your 9 to 5 for a month until you finally expire.

Also have 1 month of endless sex with any willing girl.
