What do you think follows death, and why?

Not sure. If I'm wealthy, cryogenic freezing. It's our society's version of mummification, and I like that.

Well, I hope something follows death...it would be boring as hell for me to just sit in the ground and sleep. :?

I don't know.

I'd just like to point out that you're fully conscious while asleep. You're not when you're dead. When you die you cease to exist, and from your perspective so does everything else. But you won't mind at all, because you can't.

An afterlife is not parsimonious.

Yea, that's true, but still...I don't want to know what it would be like to not "exist". Well, actually, you can't "feel" what its like because your dead, and you don't "exist" anymore, but still... and the spiral of rambling goes on and on...

Maybe you are, but I'm usually asleep when I'm asleep. I don't believe anything follows this life, but I guess I'll see when I get there.

No worries, because it's never something you'll experience. Because you can't.

I hope I never find out. I intend to live forever or die trying.

Technically, it doesn't matter how long you live, from your perspective you live forever. There was nothing before the first moment of consciousness and there will be nothing after the last moment.

And thus we were enlightened ...

Apparentlly I'm the only one who believes in reincarnation.

I am the arbiter of Truth and morality, but only after 4am and a not insignificant amount of rum.

The server will be taken off the 486 soon

Urgh, it's so difficult to put into words. I'm worried because I won't have any perceptions, won't be able to percieve anything. It'll just be blank nothingness, CRAP I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT :) . Stupid servers, I'm having a helluva time sending stuff.
