 Prove death anxiety.

When I ponder death I don't do it with anxiety, I do it with a sorta imaginative philosophy and play with certain thought provoking "what ifs"..

While you sit at your cosy computer snug as a bug in your little fantasy.
Read Ernest Becker's book Denial of Death. It's all there if you dare. (I made a rhyme )

My question for you is, are you seriously old enough to post here?

You haven't answered my question.
Why would I want to fill my head with death anxiety?
Dude, i've been here since 2000, it's right there by name.

What are you getting from trying to insult me?
I'm doing cartwheels around your death anxiety.

I never said you would want to fill your head with death anxiety now did I.

I'm not trying to insult you. I'm trying to find out why your posts seem so weak? My last partners 11 year old was trying to post here a few years ago and I had to stop him. His posts however were imo much more thought out and consistent than yours.

The question you asked, Droz, is rather ridiculous. You cannot completely "prove" that death anxiety is there if it's being repressed and ignored.

I was going to say this but then I remembered I've said that to him before.

How would you know if it were being repressed? Saying when I get older i'm going to start to get anxiety in the form of thoughts of death?
I'm not old yet and from my standpoint I don't see any "death anxiety".

I'm not saying I can make you leave. You asked a question and I gave an honest answer. My reasons are that I think your posting here is not a benefit to this forum and it's function as a debate forum. It's nothing personal. I've made it a goal to move many posters out of this forum and you'd be surprised at my success rate. However I never "made" anyone leave. That's just silly now isn't it? As to you having "broke" me that's unlikely. If I ever felt really broken I'd kill myself and as you can see I'm here posting and having a good old time like I usually do. I can tell you're upset with me but that's not my problem. Actually it's part of the entertainment I derive from posting here. However if I had great respect for your posting and debate skills here I might be concerned that you were upset with me.
