I think when you die you just sort of float around for a while. Maybe visit people, see how they're doing. And then I think you just sort of become extinguished. Only you never are fully extinguished. In a way there's always a part of you that goes on...

I think we have immortal souls.

Yes, but the massive loss of blood pressure will probably knock you out in a second.

I'm having hard time believing in anything that is "post-life" as it seems bit ridiculous. The whole idea probably emerges from peoples unwillingness to admit the chance that were just mere biological machines that stop working at some point.

There's certainly a cyclicality in everything but there's nothing metaphysical to it.

I don't think suicide is painless, unless it's an instant death (or maybe the pain could somehow lasts longer?).
As for when you die, I kind of think there's nothing, but this is hard to imagine - like, before you were born, you didn't exist, but you can't really imagine not existing. Reincarnation is something I've thought of before, but I don't know what to write.

Do you think he felt pain?

i'm pretty sure that when you die she comes for you and guides you to where you're going. i'm looking forward to it myself.

In my opinion the quicker you die, the more painful it is, but it's only for a shorter time. Inversely, the slower you die, the less painful it is, but it is painful for a longer period of time before death.

Also after you die, body rots in ground. Your mind just shuts off, as if you were never alive in the first place.

well, I don't really know what to think about killing yourself by shooting yourself into your head/mouth. someone (sway?) said it would be really painless and brief, but i'm not really sure. I mean, it must be fucking INCREDIBLY painful, and I don't really believe you'd be dead within a milisecond, would you? i still think it takes a couple of seconds before you die.

[ZEROpumpkins]

I agree. Shooting yourself would indeed be incredibly painful. I would know, one time I turned a shotgun to my face, hurt like a bitch.

[atsonicpark]

if I kill myself, I'm going to take a shitload of sleeping pills and wrap myself up in a blanket in a running car. Drive run into the garage about 20 minutes after taking the pills. Let the carbon monoxide vapours fill my lungs. That should do the trick.

Fuck that. http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse....=manly_suicide

This is the best thing I've ever read.

Headbutting is probably the manliest thing ever. Not only is it useful for suicide, it's also a great way to break up with your girlfriend. For example, I couldn't find the words to tell my ex that our relationship was over, so one day while we were watching TV I headbutt her in the tits. Then I picked up my jacket and left. No awkward goodbyes, no "still friends" bullshit. Just a couple of bruised titties and a failed relationship. I rule.

do you eat, or say, use fertilizer?

I do!

creation feeds upon entropy, and vice versa.

I have no reason to believe that the metaphysical world doesn't mimic the physical one.

the highly selfish suicide is only one of the different kinds of suicide. even if the asshole doing it only wants to catch attention, this person is dealing with putting an end to his/her own existance.. it sounds more like a serious mental problem/disorder more than some emo act.. :P

[davenotdead]

i have this notion that heaven is a complete aural/visual experience made strange by the fact that we won't have bodies. just spirit viscera floating in this ocean of unbelievably bright shifting spectrum, enveloped in sound.

[floatingslowly]

fuck sound and light. I want 99 horny virgins.

I have no reason to believ there is a metaphysical world at all.
