Death is stalking us!
Thanks for the reminder friend.

"Your death is the end of your world.
How do you know?
I always walk with death, side by side, on a deadly* basis. Knowing that the worst thing that can happen to you in in this current physical reality is death, you no longer have anything to fear.
edit: obviously I meant daily

I would say that agonizing emotional or physical pain can be quite a bit worse than death, because with death there is no longer any you to suffer.

That's the conclusion I would arrive at if I were to use logic. But you're right, I don't know this to be so for a fact, and neither do you know otherwise.
I'm speculating again so I'll just shut up now.

pascal's wager!
If there is an afterlife, great!
If not, its not like 'I' will be there to be disappointed!
but still, I believe
for belief in god, justice, and eternal rest is a utilitarian belief
it gets me through the day, and it helps me disarm the world with a smile

Perhaps I've always been here, but with a bit of luck after this lifetime I'll never return.

I fear pain more than death. pain is punishment.

meh. Its not really fun to me if the prerequisites aren't met.
why would I want to have sex with a machine?
most of the women on this planet are just that.
They are meat puppets.
They have no soul, no respect, no love, no honor, no dignity.
In other words, they have nothing I desire.
I might as well be jacking off.

Have you met most of the women on this planet? I think you're overgeneralizing.

possibly
but thats the data set I have
you have no idea how much I would like to disprove that theory!
but so far I haven't seen any evidence that would suggest otherwise.
all I see are women chasing after hunks of meat and shiny things.
I can't be satisfied with a girl who has no will of her own, no compassion for others, no appreciation for the truly finer things in life.
women get sucked into satan's bullshit, they try to make it important to me when its not.
you know one of the reasons my high school sweetheart left me, was because I didn't take her to prom? I mean, you know what kind of example that sets in my mind? It seems to me that all women care about is bullshit. They shovel it into their faces as if it were a fine turkey dinner. Its disgusting.

I've been saying this for years and still no one has stepped forward to prove me wrong.
I'll change the theory when I find evidence that doesn't support my existing theory.
I guess women don't care what I think and say about them!
Their silence is all the evidence I need!

You're making an assertion based on the exceedingly small proportion of women that you have had some contact with. The burden of proof is on you to prove your assertion correct, not otherwise.
