I've actually heard someone use the phrase, "Yeah, they said cousin Jebidiah (not his real name) was airborne, doin about 180 when he hit that concrete barrier. Tore his head plumb off. I guess when it's your time, it's your time.

:horrormirth:

I fail to see what's wrong with that statement.

It shows a clear lack of understanding of the concept of causality.

Does it? Maybe they think someone's picking times.
Maybe what was being done that led to the aforementioned impact seemed survivable. Who Knows?

We got where we are as a species by having a well developed ability to "see it coming" and prepare accordingly.
Not everybody sees with equal clarity obviously.
If you just don't have whatever it takes to survive a situation, it kills you.
Mental clarity and forethought is just one of those things.
You live exactly as long as your environment allows given your abilities.
When the dice don't favor you (if there really are dice and chance) it's not like life lets you cash out and walk away from the table.
Maybe they figured it was his time 'cuz he went all in on a bad bet   ...and it's funny.


Has anyone ever told you that you could fuck up a wet dream?

Not really.  Why?
Did I?

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.
