Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
There's a sub-forum for political debate and discussion. Please take this bullshit over there. No one here gives a fuck. Thanks.

Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
Probably just surreal. I'm convinced that most of who a person is fades into the distant background when they're put into such a situation. That level of fear overwhelms all the other channels and circuits. Some shut down and give up, some struggle and resist, but ALL feel like prisoners in their own body. Beyond that, it's a matter of the victim's individual temperament, which for most people remains consistent from cradle to grave. My opinion is that nothing ruins even the best life quite like a violent death. |

Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
Ive had some pretty serious injuries and if its severe enough to go into shock, it's not as bad. I guess it's nature's sympathy. I think that's why burn victims seem to ignore the flames after 10 seconds or so when they go into shock. But I'm pretty sure he felt those stabs with intensity up until the ones in the neck. The one stab up and under the rib cage looked like it went to the heart which started him going into shock. The others certainly penetrated his lungs. All in all I would prefer it to a slow death with sickness or disease. 30 seconds of severe pain would be better than months of suffering knowing you're going to die is much worse in my opinion.

Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
I just thought of a better way, how about living to a nice ripe old age and passing through in your sleep |

Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
That doesn't involve the psychological aspect of knowing that you're at the mercy of another human being, though. I'm convinced that makes for a much scarier and isolating experience, especially when you're outnumbered and hopelessly restrained. Injuries and accidents can hurt and cripple and leave you infirm, but the event -- the unforeseen and unpredictable -- is usually over after the initial impact. Then you have first responders, medical professionals, friends and family -- there are means of prediction and treatment and support surrounding your injury or illness. But going out like this guy? Fuck you, jackass, you're in the middle of nowhere bound and surrounded by enemies who have already decided to kill you and who will most likely enjoy it, and you have no idea where they're going to make you bleed from next. You *knew* that the world could be like this sometimes, but that shit always happens to other peop-- Nope! It's happening to *you*, right now, on someone else's schedule. And since your body doesn't know how over it already is for you, it's going to keep that blood pumping and force you to live in that moment because that's how it was designed to respond to the physical threat of death. Either is bad, but one is worse. Give me an accident; at least I didn't get handed an L by an enemy. Give me terminal illness; at least it'll be my own body betraying me, and I'd rather regret (for example) decades of smoking as opposed to a few seconds when I was too lazy too look over my shoulder, or the few bucks I made in the drug trade. It would make my own life feel a lot less worthless as I'm checking out. Also, with burn victims, a lot of that has to do with the nerves being burnt away, and/or diminished or lost consciousness due to smoke inhalation. Obviously it hasn't been extensively measured, but I'm convinced that those "death endorphins" don't really play much of a part in violent deaths like they do in things like drug overdoses or gradual death from things like terminal illness or age. Fight-Or-Flight means that the more trauma you take, the more your body will reflexively struggle against whatever's happening; that means more neurological alertness, which in turn means more fear for your fading consciousness as the futility of struggling is gradually realized. P.S. I like turtles. |

Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
Take a deep breath Mike, I was only expressing a personal opinion. I would still prefer 30 seconds of intense pain over slowly decaying away from illness or disease. I never would choose it as preferred manner of my own death. Getting fucked to death by the Dallas cheerleaders wouldn't be so bad, but dying of old age doesn't suit me personally.

Re: Brutally Stabbing a Guy in Chest and Neck
It's a wasted effort - most people here can't count beyond their fingers and toes - and read at a very low level, as is the demographic for Trump voters.
