PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT THIS QUESTION HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MOOD I'VE BEEN IN [Nov. 7th, 2008|11:54 pm]

It's really just a hypothetical question. Like one of those "If you saw an ant crawling across the sidewalk, would you step on it or not?" think of it like that only less wtf? or maybe more wtf? Because my mind's all like death oriented (but not as badly like OMG GONNA KILL SELF BRB as before). So, again, PLEASE don't take it the wrong way. It's not meant to be nearly as morbid as it could potentially seem if you compare it to my previous entries.

Okay, so, assume that you're here (or I'm there) and I/we/a group of people with us has gotten in a fight with some other group/person/stranger/ant/whatever, and I am BADLY injured (like, possibly never going to walk again, or, never going to be able to breathe without a respirator again, or have to eat through a tube the rest of my days, whatever you deem to be like severely injured). We both notice a gun on the floor/ground/floating in space/in some random dead guy's hand, and I ask/gurgle/plead with my eyes/telepathically beg you to put me out of my misery, just shoot me somewhere where it's gonna kill me. Do you do it, or would you call an ambulance and hope for the best?



AGAIN, NOT MEANT TO BE HALF AS MORBID AS IT COULD COME ACROSS!

awww but the carnage that could be had! And it could look like it happened in the fight lol...

wait.. did I just lol at death? I think I did.

But at least you'd put me out of my misery in a less "bang you're dead" way anyway :D Yay

I've worked with too many people with disabilities, and have met too many other people with disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, etc. to think that their lives are not worth living because they can't walk/use a feeding tube/whatever. They don't feel that way either.

I guess I'm just saying that maybe you would find that your life still would be worth living later. I wouldn't want to take that chance before you knew what it would be like.

It is an interesting question though!
