[POLL] What are you more afraid of?

[sillymofo]

Death or Old Age? I personnally am mortified of old age. What's with the wrinkling, the can't do anything right, the forget what I was thinking or doing 5 secs ago, the diseases, ughh... Gets me depressed just knowing that one day, I'd be an old fart and kids would be looking at me weird like I do now to old people, and I would be a nuisance to society....

I'm not afraid of dying but I'm more afraid of other people dying than I am of getting old.

ermm. I think that's what I wanted to say

edit: reminds me of a radiohead song.

If I get old
I will not give in
But if I do
Remind me of this

Remind me that
Once I was free
Once I was cool
Once I was me

And if I sat down
And crossed my arms
Hold me into
This song

Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take a chair
Start to talk shit

If I get old
Remind me of this
That night we kissed
And I really meant it

Whatever happens
If we're still speaking
Pick up the phone
Play me this song.

Old age.

I don't know, I'm not really scared of either. I'm only 20, why worry about the future. AFAIK, I'll be 80 and still running miles and neffing on ATOT.

BS.

 

[MisterYu]

Choices 2 and 3 are the same. Anyone who chooses 3 is obviously in denial.

 

[Vic]

Considering the alternative, I don't think old age is all that bad. I hope to live to become old, but not so old that become a burden on others and lose all joy in life.

So I'm unsure how to answer the poll. Am I afraid of both? Or neither?

Is there any proof that everyone will die eventually? Sure, so far it's been true for 15 billion people (or whatever the number of humans to ever exist is) But, what if the odds of living forever were 1 in 50 billion.. Odds are we wouldn't have run into that person yet.

Another old age here. I don't look forward to depending on my non-existent kids to take care of me or ending up in some old-fart home.

But, no one suppose to know about ME.

death

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

Old age...I'm not looking forward to when a good day is defined by if I can get to the bathroom on time.

 

[PanzerIV]

Death is the end of the show. Scene over. You're done. Old age however, slowly but surely robs you of all your vitality and that's even more frightening to me.

 

[Ameesh]

niether, im 24 btw

 

[gistech1978]

well ive never stared death in the face. so i have no idea if im scared of it or not.
im not old, but getting old doesnt necessarily scare me.
now snakes...they scare me.

 

[Shockwave]

i already like to poop myself so i kinda look forward to old age......

 

[MystikMango]

I picked "old age" although I'm not really scared of it.

I'm more affraid of living to the point where I can no longer take care of myself without help. I don't want to have to pop 15 pills a day to keep kicking. I don't want to have to have weekly visits to some clinic to be hooked to any machines for anything (like dialysis). I don't want to have assistants to wipe my ass or change my diapers. I don't want to be confined to a wheelchair or powered seat.

But I wouldn't mind living forever if I could avoid all the things above.

 

[Electric Amish]

I'm not afraid of either.

 

[isasir]

Paying taxes.

[LOLyourFace]

neither. enjoy your life to the fullest.

but then again, I think old age is worse than death.

 

[nan0bug]

I dont necessarily fear either, since one or both are inevitable. I don't particularly want to grow so old that I am a burden on others and am unable to care for myself.

 

[crab]

I'm afraid of not existing.

 

[CPA]

I'm deathly afraid of death.
