Title: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: themovieaddict.com on September 13, 2006, 05:27:29 PM ...which would you choose?
My college professor posed this question today to make us think. I chose falling off a cliff. Because hopefully this would be the moment in time when I experienced the next stage of evolution and suddenly grew wings. Whereas with fire there's really no chance of survival. How much would it suck if you chose fire and as you're burning to death some wings suddenly pop out of your back? I'd be pissed. Anyway, kind of a sick question, but blame my professor. It gave our class a lot to talk about so I thought I'd ask it here, too. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive...

I'll have the falling off a cliff, too. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive...

Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Natasha23 on September 13, 2006, 05:53:57 PM cliff wins land right you might survive not much chance if burned alive What do you mean?? People survive getting burned alive ALL the time. When people die in fires, they usually die from smoke inhalation, not the actual burning of their flesh. But I'd choose the cliff too. Getting burned seems like a slow death.

cuz i always wanted to fly... but im too chicken to jump of a cliff when i dont really have to die.. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: axl_rose_700 on September 13, 2006, 06:55:48 PM Gotta be the cliff
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Queen of Everything on September 13, 2006, 07:10:25 PM Cliff - I like the feeling in your stomach when you're falling. :)
Bahahaha Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: J-Studham on September 13, 2006, 07:10:45 PM If i was falling off a cliff i'd have some sense of enjoyment burried in my fear so i'd go with the cliff ;)
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Lucky on September 13, 2006, 07:50:05 PM Burn.
why? because I'm a sick mf. but seriously... I'd rather burn 1st... falling of a cliff is for loosers. you are just falling, you cant fight it. you will fall, and you can relax and keep falling, there's nothing you can do to change your faith(except flap your hands) 2nd... burning. you at least can have some hope, fight untill the bitter end, drop, run, roll,... whatever. I'm a fighter, and I'd rather die fighting for my life, than just be in the arms of the gravity. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Mandy. on September 13, 2006, 07:55:51 PM Cliff. No doubts.
Even if death is a certainty, it would be quick, whilst in the fire, I'd probably be agonizing for a while. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: MadmanDan on September 13, 2006, 08:04:50 PM There is no death more painful than burning to death...think about the pain you felt when you accidentally burned yourself with a match or a cigarette...

Indeed. Drowning is definitely worse. But jumping off a cliff is better than both drowning and burning. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Yesterday on September 13, 2006, 09:34:15 PM Definately the cliff, burning not so much.
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: gun on September 13, 2006, 10:23:35 PM I'd take the cliff. Falling isn't bad, only the end result of the fall. Burning is torture from the start.
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 14, 2006, 12:33:23 AM Jump Jump Jump! ;D
Might as well jump...JUMP! http://zeit183geist.proboards62.com/index.cgi?board=tin&action=display&thread=1157514169 Imagine the insane rush you would get while jumping. Plus, death wouldn't be painless. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on September 14, 2006, 11:15:28 AM Though Im scare of heights I know that falling off a cliff is better than being burned alive, ummm i dont know if the word is better but Im making a comparison between those 2 deads :nervous:
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: pilferk on September 14, 2006, 11:38:56 AM The cliff.
Because your death is going to be pretty quick and painless (depending on the height from which you fall). The fall, itself, has a good chance to stop your heart. If not, there's no real pain until impact...and then it's over pretty quick. With burning...you're just toast (literally). You have to feel every agonizing second of it. And it can take a very, very long time to die when smoldering. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: sesor on September 14, 2006, 01:49:20 PM obv its the cliff, burnning would hurt alooooot, like one of the worst deaths ever, and you're body will be all melted n shit so that would be worse for your family rathe trhtna just being squashed a little bit lol
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Emilie on September 14, 2006, 02:06:14 PM I would choose the cliff too. Burning is way more painful.
..but what if the fall doesn't kill you? That wouldn't be nice.. :no: Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: MadmanDan on September 14, 2006, 07:43:29 PM There is no death more painful than burning to death...think about the pain you felt when you accidentally burned yourself with a match or a cigarette... you fall into a shock quite soon after you start burning. and I think drowning is way worse than burning. No, you could stay alice for hours, agonising, praying to die....drowning only takes a few minutes, and there's no real pain, you just go uncouncious at one point Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Danny Top Hat on September 14, 2006, 07:52:43 PM Burning alive would be horrible, but way better than being skinned alive. :nervous:
Falling off a cliff wins by a landslide.? I'd take a biiig run up and throw my arms forward.? I'd be a superhero for like FIVE SECONDS! :D Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: MCT on September 14, 2006, 08:00:52 PM Imagine getting pinched to death... :o
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: LeftToDecay on September 14, 2006, 09:01:07 PM Since the question is about chosing a way for yourself to die I assume we are talking about suicide here.Well, that or really complex and unlikely scenario:p
Everything that comes with a "waiting time" is a big no no. I can't understand how people can kill themselves by jumping, pills and everything else that gets delivered with a delay. What if you begin to regret your suicide while you are in the air, for example?It's always a strong possibility. I'd hate to die regretting the last relevant action I did in life. It would be good ol bullet in the head for me. O hay, my old math teacher did it by standing infront of a train*. that would be pretty good one too, start to regret? jump off the trail : ok: If it had to be between jumping and burning..well duh. fire hurts more than air ay? Then again, fire gives manliness points. *the train was moving towards him fast, thus the death.standing infront of a stationary train is not dangerous. Anyway, suiocide is for losers. T' ...time to go smoke a cig:p Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: MR.BROWNSTONE on September 14, 2006, 09:03:58 PM I would choose falling cause you wont feel the pain of buring alive.
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Jessica on September 14, 2006, 10:49:20 PM fire, there is something more poetic to fire than there is to a fall
Although both are terribly painful and i don't think my soul would be at peace with either. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: sesor on October 02, 2006, 04:38:28 PM seen the scene in star wars revenge of the sith where anakin is burnt alive in the lava?
10seconds of that tell me tis the cliff. besides that sounds like cliff burton so i could think of metallica as i go. Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on October 02, 2006, 04:59:17 PM Yeah, but your ashes can't collect the manliness points. 8)
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Drew on October 02, 2006, 06:49:09 PM I'll jump the cliff.
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Skinflick on October 02, 2006, 07:11:37 PM Jumping a cliff.....you wouldn't feel a thing.....just make sure you land on your head......being burned to death is pure torture....
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: axlrosegnr on October 02, 2006, 07:19:21 PM I would jump, since skydiving is also a hobby of mine.....so who knows, maybe I would happen to happen to have my rig with me at the time, lol. But yeah, I burning would be way to painful. It hurts a lot just when i burn myself with a cigarette...
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: King Sand on October 03, 2006, 06:36:12 PM I would have to agree with the masses: I'd jump off a cliff (however, I would be burning alive at the same time)...
Title: Re: If you had to choose between falling off a cliff or being burned alive... Post by: Annie on October 04, 2006, 06:10:07 PM Probably the cliff. BUrns are very painful and I think I was burned at the stake in some of my past lives. Although I did go skydiving once and the 5 seconds of freefall were pure terror. You can't breathe and just hanging in the air was the longest 6 minutes of my life. And the mule ridedown the Grand Canyon was 6 hours of pure terror!
