There are worse things in this life than death. Snowflake society.

As adults we all most come to accept that our lives are finite and fleeting in this life. We must come to accept that we are mortals and that our lives are, relatively speaking, short. The people in this film are acting like headless chickens at the thought of death. So what. Millions of people die every day. Death is part of existance.

If it were me, I would grab a bottle of the finest vodka, along with some diet coke, grab a sleeping bag, cuddle up in a corner, and watch the world burn. Maybe play some music.

As for the children, we must help them understand and accept death. That's it. Western society is too decadent and superficial

Try the classic coke instead of the diet trash. No need for weight watching anymore...

If it's the end of the world, what does it matter...

When I trained in CQB, we were taught not to fight for ourselves. It's easy to give up on yourself when you are feeling tired or overwhelmed.

But, if I point a gun at the person you care most about in this world... wife, gf, your child... and threaten them you would be amazed at the ferocity and energy you will find within yourself to fight back.

Even if they aren't present, the thought that my death would leave my wife a widow... that my sons would grow up without a father... that I would miss out on all the events of their lives... always gave me the will to keep pushing myself and keep training. It's a mindset that still exists within me to this day.

You sound like someone who's never encountered death or suffering except in computer games, and never known someone that you would risk your own life to save.

There's more to life than living. Living is overrated. Death is peaceful.

If it were me I would visit the local Swedish Girls Society and submit myself to hours and hours of sexual abuse by these Swedish vixens.

You think I would be running around like a headless chicken? Dude, people have terminal illnesses all over the world and they face death with dignity. Are you a burger munching American or something? In the rest of the world we are very stoic and pragmatic to death and our mortality.

haha what are you talking about?

your post makes no sense at all. its a jumbled mix of just whining and crying and thinking you re so much better than everyone.

the irony is you getting a bottle of vodka and slowly dying in the most snowflake pathetic thing you could do. dying is easy, living and struggling is hard.

"In the rest of the world we are very stoic and pragmatic to death and our mortality."

where do you get this shit from? you sound like a wanna be cultured person who actually doesnt know anything about the broader world. maybe encountered on culture with this attitude (which still may not be universal in it) and now just call any who doesnt agree with your simplistic generalization as "burger munching Americans".

Dying is NOT easy. I've been wanting to die for years now.

Go eat your hamburgers and watch your happy endings.

umm what. sorry im not a pessimistic depressed little crybaby.

you are a black whole of depression trying to suck others down with you. And you've come here to justify your sad position as some sort of bravery. when in fact its the opposite.

maybe get some mental help instead of being a depressed crybaby on here.

Dude, I am just saying, if the world were going to end, I would do what I said, grab a bottle of vodka (Stolichnaya) and a sleeping bag and curl up in a corner and wait for death with a half smile on my face. Then you say you don't believe me. Then you say you believe me but I am a depressive F. Well, dude, whatever you think. I've never lied. Yes, it is what I would do. I wouldn't run around like a headless chicken. F it. Life is overrated. Pessimistic, perhaps. Crybaby? If I cry, it's bittersweet tears.

Do you dress as Batman when you troll?

reply

[–] brucewayne (319) 4 years ago

im trolling because im calling out this ridicidulousness?

his titles literally

"There are worse things in this life than death. Snowflake society."

that's not trolling?

then says because the people in the film are doing anything they can to survive they are acting irrationally. they should accept death and make the kids accept death cause humans are mortal. lol wtf?

and unless I have his nihilistic give up attitude im a "burger eating American"

this is the most trolly read ive ever read. unfortunately I dont think it is, I think hes just really this dumb
