The Day After Tommorow

Well, when you put it that way. Ah crap now im never going to swim again.... :|

Yeah, I agree Orasu, worst way to go, except, in my opinion, being buried alive. Kill Bill 2 anybody? That bit scared me proper when she was buried alive. (That really was a bad film) There was too much boring talking, no plot (I'm not saying that's the point of this film) and the final fight, they started off doing crazy chair sword fighting, then she just did the finishing move on him, and he fell over! His chest didn't even explode! I feel shortchanged..

Oh yea, being buried alive.

But I think that would require that you were just put in a hole and then be buried in dirt, getting it in your mouth and such. In a cauffin would just be boring until you fainted without oxygen

Drowning would be one of the more peaceful ways to go imo.

Burning, now THAT is a bad way to die.

Hmm, i disagree. Drowing to me is worse. Realize you never got to do whatever. Realize you never got to play MxO. Then you panic and die.


Burning you would be pretty much screaming in pain, not thinking much. Maybe looking forward to death..

Any other bad ways to die while we're at it ?

The most peaceful way to die would be locked in a room ( I wouldnt do it voluntarily of course) and just fainted out of lack of oxygen. Not to painful. Of course, you could still panic, and start whamming into the walls or something.

Surely waiting to die of oxygen loss is the same kind of thing as waiting to drown? I'd hate any slow drawn out death where there is a feeling of inevitable death that you cannot escapr from.. (happy this, isn't it?

It was okay.  The special effects, like everyone else noted, were good.  The plot was mostly non-existent...and, I'm sorry, but when you have a moral tale to tell, you don't have to HIT ME OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!  Greenhouse effect = bad; Green Peace = gud.  I get it.  Everytime anyone said anything at all about pollution, it just came off preachy and silly.

I think it was good that the moral tale was so blatant. Whenever i talk to people about global warming or the impending water crisis or anything like that they all go, "Well imma be dead so why should i care?" This movie took that point and basically said well if it happened today you would care so start reversing the problem cos we really know shit about nature so it just might happen. People just don't give a shit about nature anymore, and they need to be hit over the head with the message that they should over and over again until they do care.

I guess it is. But still, I think dying of oxygen loss is more of a fade, compared to drowning. You have all tried holding your breath under water right? Think about that, and that last moments before you can't stay underwater anymore. It's a funny thing, your throath or whatever is sorta 'gulping' for water.

Then imagine being trapped underwater, being at that very moment. And then you can't hold it anymore, and you feel water flowing into your lungs, and then you are gone..

Burning would be way worse. As your body heats up your muscles contract fracturing your bones in thousands of places and curling your spine back against itself. It is not just instant death, it is long and drawn out and it would be so insanely painful in those minutes that you would probably do anything to stop it. With drowning their isn't nearly as much pain. Rather it is the panic that would really suck and your muscles would start convulsing in an attempt to breath. It would hurt, but not nearly as much as burning alive.

Also, I believe that dying from lack of oxygen is different from drowning.I think in the case of being buried alive the coffin would begin filling with carbon dioxide and you would black out. Sure you would asphyxiate, but i think before it happened you would black out and not really feel anything. I might be wrong here though.

I agree of course. But the panic is why I would hate drowining. In extreme pain, you aren't thinking much except for being in extreme pain.

I think I would prefer dying of old age .


Some jolly discussion we are having, eh?

[Anonymous]

Actually I'm pretty sure that if you were on fire you would be panicing and running around trying to make the burning stop. Oh, i forgot. If it got hot enough your nails and hair would melt into your skin.

I would prefer getting old and dying in my sleep too lol.

If it was my preference, I'd want my death to mean something.  You know, saving a loved one, or (in extreme cases) the world.  Unlikely, but it's the way I'd want to go (regardless of the method).  

It saddens me so much that there's so much pointless and preventable death occurring all the time.  Just last November, a good friend of mine and my friend's girlfriend died in a car accident, simply because the guy behind her was tailgating, speeding, and not paying attention.  My friend was going to give her a promise ring that weekend, too.  

Dammit, sometimes human nature just flat out sucks.

I agree. There far to many pointless and preventable deaths that occur. This last independence day my cousin and uncle were killed in a car accident by a girl who was driving to fast and being reckless. I really have a thing against people speeding, especially because they are never really going anywhere. They speed and drive unsafely and its for no purpose but to get somewhere that they dont need to be just a couple minutes sooner. It's rediculous. And ya, sometimes human nature does flat out suck. But then again, other times it is the greatest thing in the world. I guess its just one of those things.

I despise you. I would take the time to explain why, but it just isn't worth it.
