if you had to choose-
 
of course assuming that if you know when you will die you can't know how, and if you know how you will die you can't know when.

I would rather know how.

well if i choose when and it's within a few years. i know it's either a car crash or a murder (or some freak ass accident).

or a disease? or a natural disaster? or alcohol poisoning? or a collapsing house?

I dunno - if I know how, then I'll constantly be on guard, but not be able to do anything about it (esp. if it's a car accident or something). If I know when, then I'll have even more dread as the time closes in.

So I'd pick neither.

that's the thing no disease is going to kill you very quickly, with the exception of anthrax, which would really be murder.

natural disasters, alcohol poisioning and a collapsing house would all be freak accidents.

If I knew how, I'd be constantly paranoid about it. But, if I knew when, I could prepare myself for it and know exactly how long I had to do everything I wanted to do and when I would have to say goodbye to everyone and whatnot. So yeah, I would go with knowing when I would die. But then, of course, on that day, I would be all paranoid about it...like when taking a shower that morning, I would stand there and think "is this it, am I going to be electrocuted?", "is this it, am I going to get trapped in and be unable to turn off the water and drown?"

hmmm...you could choose to know when, and then be a rebel and kill yourself before that!

Elvis The Fat Years 06-04-2003 06:07 PM

i choose anal.

crescentfresh 06-04-2003 06:07 PM

I'd know when, kill myself a day earlier as quick and painless possible.

yeah whatever 06-04-2003 06:08 PM

I choose YOU, Pokémon!

If I could CHOOSE how, then how.

If it's simply forknowledge, I would go with when. The last month of my life would be an awesome crack smoking adventure!

I would also spend the remainder of my money on porn magazines - thousands of them - so that whomever has to come in and investigate my place after I'm dead would be like, "Shit, this guy REALLY liked porn!!"
