Fear - Page 21

Hasty Ent · 09-08-2002, 07:40 PM

I once spent 90 minutes alone stuck in a very small elevator (4 passengers) before the fire department came to get me out. Needless to say, I'm TERRIFIED of elevators and will take stairs every chance I get...

Sicirus · 09-08-2002, 08:02 PM

That must have been both boring and scary. sorry it happend.

I fear that the cockroach living in my locker(shudders) won't leave. I am seriouse too. I opend my locker one day and a large cockroach was in there.

Hasty Ent · 09-08-2002, 08:15 PM

Definitely not boring, Sicirus -- hard to be bored when you find yourself thinking "this may be it...this just may be the end." Another close call was a plane trip with mechanical problems and finally landing on a runway lined on both sides with alternating ambulances and fire trucks. Don't like to fly much anymore.

Anyway, now when I'm forced to ride elevators I look at the people inside and think "is this a group I want to spend my last breathing moments with?" -- scary how often that answer is @#$% NO!

Dying is the ultimate fear for many people I think, not death, but the actual process by which you go and the pain that might accompany it.

Sicirus · 09-08-2002, 08:19 PM

I think people fear more on how they die rather than death its self.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 09-08-2002, 09:04 PM

Most people also fear what comes after death. Why else would religion come about, eh?
In fact, I think religion is entirely about fear of the unknown.

Christiana · 09-08-2002, 10:06 PM

I fear ow my death will effect my loved ones.

Trust me on this: you need a large torch. Nothing else will suffice. Take said torch, and smash the little bugger to pieces. I had to live with a tonne of them when I went on my field trip... you become so acclimatised to smashing them and picking up their corpses, that you soon get over any buggy fears....

WiseWizard · 09-09-2002, 11:04 AM

Hasty Ent, i suggest that you do not see Resident Evil. Bad elevator scenes.

I don't agree. Fear of the unknown plays a part, certainly, but I've always felt that religion was a convenient method to explain away the injustices in our lives.

Oh, and thanks for the tip WiseWizard. I tend to stay away from horror films, though, by and large. If I want to get scared, I just listen to the news.

You're right. I forgot about that part. Okay, I think it would be both fear of the unknown and an explanaton for injustices in our lives.

Ack! Not the whole injustice thing again! Has anyone else read Plato's Republic?

BeardofPants · 09-10-2002, 05:18 PM

As well as the anomalies... God did it!

I believe that religon is a way to keep people in line so that they obey you

This is course a plan to take over the world that has 5 important steps
1. create a religon
2.bless the water
3.let only believers drink the water
4.dispose of disbelievers
5.proclaim yourself supreme god

Anyway I have spider fear found gigantic one in my bedroom fortunately my cat ate it, I refuse to see 8-legged freaks film

Brokehorn4000 · 09-11-2002, 06:20 PM

I have creepy ground spiders in my house! *one scuttles across the floor**screams in terror* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sicirus · 09-12-2002, 07:54 PM

I know this is ooc but BH I swear I have read that sig in my agenda book. but I could be wrong. i was thinking of using one to.

Back on to subject. I fear for my poor dogs life. He has developed cancer in his leg. We have to remove his leg to save him.

Aeryn · 09-12-2002, 08:19 PM

I fear two things, Spiders...I woke up one morning when i was 8 and this humungous thing was on my foot, I was paralyzed

Khadrane · 09-12-2002, 11:02 PM

"So where were we? Oh yes, Joliet and MARQUETTE! But, Marquette DIDN'T MAKE IT! He died on the way BACK!"
