Whats your biggest fear?

[jnkcrp]

Actually during drowning you panic at first but actually are not panicking at the time the water hits your lungs. It is considered one of the most peaceful ways to die. The mind accepts the drowning before it actually happens

Thanks Conan, now I have to review my fears now that you made drowning sound so pleasant.

Almost drowned once surfing, very scary stuff when you think you MIGHT die.

I have too, once when I was 2, it took me 7 years to not be afraid of the water anymore and again about 5 years ago. I was just damn lucky I had a buddy near enough to drag my ass to the shore.

Drowning would be pretty bad. Also, standing on a high pole with no supports or anything kinda scares me cuz u think you're gonna fall off.

I actually think dying from "no parachute" would be a painless (mentally and physically) way to die. Just you and the air.

No, I'd have to say drowning sucks. I almost drowned once. It wasn't very fun.

Getting eaten by a shark, or a lion would be my worst fear. I love both animals just not enough to be eaten by them.

But let's look past the hype, at the FACTS. Is drowning really all that bad? How does it compare with drier, land-based deaths? What do we REALLY know about drowning?

FACT: Drowning leaves a great looking corpse. Drowned bodies look nearly perfect once they've been toweled off.

FACT: Dollar for dollar, drowning is your best value. Only self-strangulation in bed comes close to providing a lower cost demise. Guns? Nice, if you've can afford $300-500 for an average handgun. Prescription pills? Skyrocketing drug prices put an intentional overdose out of reach for many. Feel like driving off a cliff? Go right ahead, if you happen to have $20,000, about average for a car these days. When you add the record gas prices you'll pay en route, it's all too easy to die a pauper!

FACT: Drowning is easy. No fiddling with dosages, knots, or ammunition. No instruction book. Simply submerge your mouth and nose, wait a minute, and let your body do the rest! It's child's play!

FACT: Drowning is more popular than safety experts let on. Often, a drowning death will be mislabeled as choking. Official accounts say the great Jimi Hendrix "choked" on his own vomit, but vomit's a liquid, and choking on a liquid is the same as drowning!

FACT: The same body of water can drown a nearly unlimited number of people! Try that with poison! And you'll never need to reload a lake or sharpen a pond.

FACT: Virtually no other death offers as much flexibility in the details. Water's traditional, but remember, if it's liquid, you can drown in it! You can successfully inhale milk, wine, green tea, or even your favorite cocktail! Nothing at hand? You can even drown in your own blood! How's that for convenient?

The method of one's death, voluntary or not, is a very personal matter, and should never be taken lightly. Unfortunately, facts sometimes take a backseat to industry pressure and misinformation. There's no shortage of people ready to tell you what's right and what's wrong. Keep this article on hand next time someone shudders and says, "Drowning sounds terrible." You might just change their life. And death!

Greatest fear: Being buried alive

EDIT: Conan - funny sh*t, goofball.

Dude, that's hilarious!!!

I especially like:

You sick puppy you..

Shipwreck -I hope the time off helps some. Hard to forget shit like that.........respect your work + volunteering for that too.

I would have to say I am afraid of anything happening to my kids. I cannot watch movies or read anything about bad shit happening to kids.
