Not sure, of course, just presenting a different view. The one where one's own death isn't scary and gross and sad...

Oh wow, someone who understands.

Honestly, the thought of being old is more disgusting to me than imagining my brains on the floor. Maybe at 60, should I make it that long, I won't be that lifeless.. but I won't allow myself to become geriatric. I know there are lots of old people who are perfectly fine.. but with my lifestyle and interests, the day that I'm stuck in a chair is the day that I'm a waste of space and respiratory processes. I'm not saying everyone who is old is a waste of space. But I would feel that way, I'm sure.

As far as saying **** on a board with a bunch of strangers... I've been a radio host since I was 16 years old. I'm used to saying whatever I feel like saying in front of whatever audience. I'm not scared to be myself just because a few people might find it scary, shocking, or sad. I guess in my own way, people being offended is really the only thing that offends me. Really, I don't know how people get to be so sissy that they can't stand to be offended. If someone does't like that school of thought, then big deal, move on, who truly cares anyway? It is just a bit of chit chat on one of the tamest community message boards on all of the internet. And the anonymity factor really is more safe than confiding in people you know. It's almost like talking to yourself, but you can see it and watch people react. Maybe it's just a social experiment.
