Answer 2

We the surfers of cyber world meet with so many people every day. Surfing the net is the best pastime one can ever develop, as internet has the most knowledge, a surfer will never have to wait for a answer. The vast knowledge of cyber world is nothing as compared to the cyber society that it gives. Internet is a community but so vast that we need a place to make conversation easy. What more can be better than a chat room for this purpose, well a chat room and a message board along with a forum is the best combination really. I was actually looking for a place where we can find all these things with a profile and photo brouse option. Finally I got this site, this place is a very nice community where we can share every thing online. And also about the leader board, I must tell it is great. The thought of the leader board is unique, as not to many people has thought about this thing. And the method of getting the leader is very different and one must check out this site once. The cyber culture is growing, and it is about time that we find our club and that to a very different club, which is not a part of any big website house like the yahoo and google. This site am talking about has every thing that a cyber surfer ever wants. This is the website address, http://www.friendscyberclub.com/ Features of this site is: 1) chatting 2) view profiles and photos 3) upload your photos and make a cool profile. 4) your message board 5) forum 6) See your name on the leader board. There are also many more features available in the site, free to join.

Answer 3

It's a fantasy, but YES I would definitely want to know. But there is no such crystal ball. This question is not new for me, as I have pondered it before and wished I could know the date. It would DRAMATICALLY effect the choices I made/make. I would most definitely take great risks. Life and death risks-since I would know when death would come, I'd know when the deadline is and I could walk in the face of death. That is the power that comes from suicide too-a person gets to choose the date of their death. Also, once I knew when it would happen, I would no longer have to think about my mortality as it would be clear. And I could spend all my money instead of saving it. It sucks to die with money in the bank, but if you know, you can plan accordingly. I also, remember when I had major surgery-I thought about how I could possibly die and never wake from the operating table. If I knew my death date, I would know in advance that I would make it. Yup, would like to know. Don't get why anyone wouldn't want to know. Life is full of uncertainties. I would invite an absolute. I also would not want to linger in the dying process with something like Alzheimers. So, I would like to know when and what the cause would be too!

Answer 4

It would be impossible to know an exact time of death. Imagine that I've just been informed of my death date by a death calculator. Knowledge of my death would then affect my behavior, which would (at the least) induce the butterfly effect (google this if you aren't familiar), and then I wouldn't actually die at the previously appointed time.

If I were free to revisit the death calculator, it would recalculate my date of death, which would again induce the butterfly affect and once again change my date of death.

By continuously revisiting the death calculator, I should in theory steadily increase the accuracy of the prediction (because the butterfly affect would decrease when there is less time elapsed and because eventually I'd be old enough for near-death to be certain) until eventually I would die at a time which is very close to, but not exactly the same as, the time predicted by the death calculator.

But to answer your question: I would love to know my date of death. Then I could throw a fabulous party and invite all of my surviving friends, all of whom would have sufficient warning to have gotten over the mourning phase.

Answer 5

I already know. Two different psychics (or prophets, if you think the Bible is againsyt psychics, the Bible is FOR prophets) told me that I would pass from this body at age 93. Normally I wouldn't want to know gthat. But, in this case, rather than think I should slow down and wait for death, I know I have a lot of time to do good works.

Answer 6

Sinse God doesn't exist (Faith is not proof, that's another argument, for this topic assume he doesn't exist), and lives are not predetermined, then any one person's date of death cannot be determined. However, if, hypothetically, I could know, I would, because then I would grab a machine gun and start shooting myself in the head. After all, I can do as many lethal things as I can, because it's not my time to die right? Time to go drink some cans of paint...

I hope this helped you understand the absurdity of predetermined fates.

Answer 7

I would not want to know the time of my death. Simply because I hate waiting.

Answer 8

If such a thing were possible, I suppose I would want to know. It would help me to plan out my life better, assuming I could be convinced that it was accurate.

Answer 9

no. but i know for a fact that my life is not pemanent. and that i have to die.

but the idea of dying does not limit me from living the good life.

Answer 10

no. life is best lived on the assumption that you might die at any time. therefore be continually in right relationship with God and with other people
