Our brain dies because the heart ceases to pump blood through it.

The brain doesn't die because it wants to, it dies because something else forces it to.

Few interesting excerpts for you to think about as you are slowly withering away in that deskchair of yours:

Quote
When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not
particularly difficult. Be determined and advance. To say that dying without reaching one's aim is to die a dog's death
is the frivolous way of sophisticates. When pressed with the choice of life or death, it is not necessary to gain one's
aim.

We all want to live. And in large part we make our logic according to what we like. But not having attained our aim
and continuing to live is cowardice. This is a thin dangerous line. To die without gaining one's aim is a dog's death
and fanaticism. But there is no shame in this.


Quote
Victory and defeat are matters of the temporary force of circumstances. The
way of avoiding shame is different. It is simply in death.


Quote
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does
not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from
your dreams.


Quote
Calculating people are contemptible. The reason for this is that calculation deals with loss and pain, and the loss and
gain mind never stops. Death is considered loss and life is considered gain. Thus, death is something that such a
person does not care for, and he is contemptible.


Are we quite done having to listen to your rants? You should really considering going to a bar with a nice blonde bimbo that'll nod yes to everything you say as she fills another glass of cold beer with a big layer of foam that you can wash your sorrows away with.

You seem like just the kind of person who'd fit such an event.

I once knew a person in a coma for seventeen years.....and awoke one day.....as if she had been a sleep for eight hours......

I very much doubt that you'll want to pump air through your blood veins. Although it is a fun experiment to try on a rainy sunday! I wonder what goes quicker, Compressed, smog or clear air?

You see, the human body is very complex. Lungs extract oxygen and exhaust carbon dioxide, it doesn't just pump fresh air through your veins.

.if this so why does it allow itself to die


The entire body functions as a whole. Cells regenerate, so does bone. Bone is rebuild several times throughout your life time. After a certain age, the body's ability to regenerate itself becomes less and less effective until, at a certain point, a crucial part ceases to function. This causes a chain reaction or perhaps another person simply decides that the person in question no longer needs to live on and does not provide him/her/it with life support which could replace the crucial part before the chain reaction has taken place.

Is that the silly comment you're looking for?

Are you thinking of dying anytime soon that you want to know this for?

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another post is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another post is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to ComputerHope.

How deep of you.

Anymore tech savy people who want to talk about the meaning of life? I am sure this'll make great conversation around the coffee vending machine at work.

I'd love to be enlightened from my own deskchair. in 12 steps, perhaps?

Hey, Merlin, you should write a book explaining us how to see things the Merlin way way. Merlinism!

Merlin has more problems than what we've discussed here.

Do you think a relative has died? Hey, I'm going to speculate some very naughty things here if you don't tell me.

Perhaps Merlin is dying because he got shot in an attempt to convince a bank robber not to rob a bank whilst using Merlinspeak!

It only needs one race, no religion, and no politics, in order to achieve this.

Nope, it's that stuff called haemoglobin which carries the oxygen (oxyhaemoglobin) around the viens.

It is when the haemoglobin becomes saturated with carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide when it gets dangerous as too much carboxyhaemoglobin and insufficient oxyhaemoglobin effectively suffocates you.

You misunderstand, GX1_Man. Please read the instructions carefully, and call technical support if you require further assistance:

DeleteGuard is a safety mechanism, deployed automatically where prior instances of deleted posts have been observed.

The software logs the handle of the user who has a past history of deleting posts, and replicates selected subsequent posts from that user, as seen above. This creates a file copy so that, if the post disappears, the backup copy can be delivered to the "Post Deleters " thread, where it will reside permanently.

In the process, we establish a recorded pattern of activity, and a social deterrent against further activity like it. Keep in mind this is only version 1.0.  A beta model, if you will.

Version 1.1, soon to be available, includes a patch in which Raptor goes over to the offender's house and kills him.

So which is better, a small, moral, 'church' or a big, immoral, 'church' and where does crime come into the equation?

Especially given that persecution is just that, persecution.

If persecution is seen to be wrong, and 'religious' persecution is equally seen to be wrong then religion must be wrong too.

So I maintain, to this day, that 'religion' is wrong. I prefer science, in a clean, crime-free, environment.

10% of the current population would be - sufficient - and there is no excuse for pornography, or for Poverty Or Prostitution, Everywhere.
