What is the deal with death

[MelBrooks]

Who thinks they know what :dead: death.Give me a few ideas of what you think death is.

[Corwin]

This does not belong in the Problems & Questions forum, in case you were confused it means site related questions, this most definitely goes in the easily found and obviously named Off-Topic Lounge, where I will be moving it now

[Koopaking]

Where one's bodily processes permanently cease to function.

[Corwin]

but what about vampires Koopa, no bodily functions yet they continue to live so to speak

[Koopaking]

you know I would seriously consider that but real vampires are Fictional

[monsoon 10]

Death: When an organic being's body ceases to function entirely.

[leerock89]

It happens, so live.

[analogZero]

zombies, walking skeletons, and consumers too!
death won't be too bad. and if it is, you'll be dead, so it won't matter!

[quietchat]

What about zombies? Those exist.

[Koopaking]

I really don't understand the validity of this thread is, unless it's to explain to any small children that happen to be lurking around the truth about how everything dies, and that their dog didn't really go to summer camp after it got hit by that truck.

[Corwin]

I don't think there really is one, unless what is being asked is our personal views on the nature of death, like if it's the actually the end of everything or if it's the next step in our lives on the way to some ethereal plane of existence

[Guardgirl]

I think death is something everyone thinks about and some people will believe anything so they could live longer

[Shigami]

This is a riddle.
By using the word 'Death',he is missleading us into thinking he means the cease of sign of life in an organism.But in reality,what he really want's to know,is our thoughs about the creation of Universe,In astronomy, stellar evolution or else known as 'Death' is the process by which a star undergoes a sequence of radical changes during its lifetime.Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only few millions of years to trillions of years,considerably more than the estimated age of the Universe.

Did i solve it?

[Russkie]

Someone called my name? Sorry it took so long...

[blaariffic]

When you cease to live...and organic being no longer produces energy for it self and all respiration stops occurring in all cells..
Honestly, Im wondering if you didnt mean something else that would be more....unknown?

Summer camp? Thats a new one.

[quietchat]

If you watch cartoons then you'd understand.

[Sadrith]

the opposite of living except living = Boss and death= not so good

[blaariffic]

If you watch cartoons then you'd understand.
Huh?What cartoon?

[quietchat]

Any cartoon, a dead pet really ran away while the child was at summer camp.

[RzXzB]

Death is when you can no longer live you take your last breath and your soul leaves the body.

[blaariffic]

Any cartoon, a dead pet really ran away while the child was at summer camp.
But Koopa said that after the pet get hit by a truck it being the pet

[a2ng0d]

keh...like koopa, i dont see the point of this thread. not to be mean or anything, but death is death. that's all there is to it. you see a man. the man breathes. he is alive.... now beat his face in with a lead pipe until he stops breathing. the man is dead. simple. anything that happens beyond death is based upon individual believe. poor bastard goes to heaven or hell. maybe he goes nowhere.

[Shigami]

It's a riddle guys,you must think outside the box ..

[Raven]

I like the riddle idea... but thinking out of the box is not so good; in fact it stinks. That's why we put death in a box and bury it so it never comes back.

[Shigami]

What i try to point out is that,this threat could be either a riddle,asking the astrological origin,or just a pointless threat,without any meaning.

And think outside the box is a metaphor.

[suune]

From the medical corner, it's the end of all life functions like breathing, heart beat and brain work. Death is literally oxygen poisoning, because when we breathe our body produces unpaired electrones zhat damage our DNA, RNA and other proteins. We "rust" biogically...

And you can be dead even if your body is functioning, like coma or you can be mentally dead... It depends on the point of view...

That's not medical point of view..that's the normal origin of the word 'Death'.

But I like the box....
Its fun to make forts from....::D:

So if my head gets cut off in a freak paper clip accident..Im not dead because I didnt biologically "rust"?
Then again some chickens do do this....one did for extended period of time until it starved...poor headless chicken...

[Omedetou]

Death isnt so bad if you have Dragonballs

Pssh...shows how much you know, the dog went to live on a farm with some nice country folk.

[Neriko]

Death:

1). The great Unknown after human life.
2). The goal in which all human live their life towards.
3). An illusion in which people transfer from one world to another ...

Compliments of the Order.

(Thank you Mary The Fantabulous)

[SinXxX]

Those kind of reminds me of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

[Sir Skitzo]

It's a riddle guys,you must think outside the box ..

That riddle is lost on people who see this as a black(Death)/White(Life) issue. But I believe our vision of death is just a way we describe our transfer from here to______. Fill in w/your beliefs.

[strike7785]

When everything in life cease's to exist. Thats Death. That means no vampires no zombies ect... your spirit either has risen too the safe haven of heaven or the brinks of Hell.

I've been to hell and back before. Its nice in the summer time.

[strike7785]

I going to have the privlage of going to hell in the summer of 09 in June. Going to Kawait.

1). The great Unknown after human life.
2). The goal in which all human live their life towards.
3). An illusion in which people transfer from one world to another ...

Thats a very interesting way of seeing death. THough Im not in no rush to death but I wonder what its like

[Awakening]

nobody knows what death is like unless they have died and come back to life

[strike7785]

Yea but once you are dead you are dead. There is no comming back to life. To bad real life is not like an anime where the impossible could become possible.

[monsoon 10]

Death:

1). The great Unknown after human life.
2). The goal in which all human live their life towards.
3). An illusion in which people transfer from one world to another ...

Or we could go with the actual medical term which is much more accurate.

[strike7785]

and what medical term would that be hmmmmmm

[monsoon 10]

and what medical term would that be hmmmmmm

I believe the current term is when all organs stop functioning for an elongated period of time. *Let's keep in mind that some heart attack patients have "died" medically but can come back*

[Awakening]

who know if that term is going to be accurate anymore with the whole stem cell research

[monsoon 10]

who know if that term is going to be accurate anymore with the whole stem cell research

All organs have to massively fail.
