The chance of dying...
- Thread starter NemaNazad
- Start date
I have a friend who served in the USMC in those years, most of the time when we were chating and he was telling that they were shelling them and he was still chatting like it was just rain
well i hope i die in my Sleep... watched my Old Man have a heart attack as a kid i just hope i am not next in line
Same here but instead of hear attack an CVA, that day i learn that no matter what, you will die... A lot of people afraid to ride motorcycles, fly, etc not like you are going to avoid death... Eventually you will die, so enjoy.

I think it is safe to say that being a soldier deployed in a warzone does significantly increase the probability of one's premature death.
Yes, a greater quantity of people die in accidents, from diseases and what not, but if you compare the death rate of healthy 18-30 year old males in civilized world to that of soldiers deployed in warzone, you'll maybe find that the latter is significantly higher.

How much higher? I believe is not more than double. As I said you should compare with rate of man dying in previous wars. Interestingly as time goes human life becoming more and more valuable, despite that we have more and more humans.
It breaks main economic principle of supply and demand.

Really great song Joe. I like it!
But (I have to have my "but" (not butt
)) What is purpose of hell if we all gonna go to paradise anyway?
You'd have to ask Michel Polnareff, He can talk, he was in exile in the US for tax evasion. Pr Sarkozy gave him a pardon- he then went on to give an open air concert on the Champ de Mars the 14th of July

OK Joe, I'm going bit deep philosophy here. I'm really trying to imagine hell and heaven for a long time. Hell... not so hard, but haven... I really can't imagine heaven.
But I think we all have to had that "On Ira Tous Au Paradis" moment.
Mine would be:
Me, Snafu and Night Jumper in unit. Joe as corporal, Rapace Capitaine and Chas as some higher ranking officer. (I would include couple more guys). And then we fight some really bad, bad guys, totally defeat them without killing anyone and then ... than we all along with some girls (brought by sexpert BTW ) hug and dance with the sound of the song "on ira tous au paradis".
Wouldn't that be nice?

I don't know why he wrote that song, but he is not actually far from truth. Of course if you belive in Jesus.
If you read the new testament and see what jesus was saying. Is quite simple, he came to earth to pay for the sins of all the humans, that's why he died in the cross. You only have to belive in him with the heart not the mouth, you must accept him as lord. No matter what he will forgive, This more than clear when jesus tells the parable of the prodigal son. Another hint when he was in the Cross the two thieft that were with him, did accept Jesus as their saviour and he said they were going to heaven
You don't need churches, as long as two or more people talk about god, then he will be there. Neither God needs your money, or a crusade.. Also only God and jesus, no saint, no holy people or any crap, if you pray you pray to god, not to a saint...
Of course this is not good for the Catholic church and they will always deny it and sell you their version of the new testament.. They like to keep people in the dark, that's why their worst enemies are Gutenberg and Luther.....
This year, during a ceremony near Rome, a kid went to the pope and asked if his father in heaven or hell. He was afraid that his father in Hell because, he had not a baptism. The Pope said that the only one who decides who goes to heaven is God and that God does not leave his sons... Of course the church was not happy about it, the proper reply for a catholic.
"Yes he is either in the hell or Purgatory for all the eternity"...

GSP I agree and I would add that haven and hell are not only Christian concepts. They were there before christianity and in many other religions.
Still can't imagine my heaven. Can you your?

Very boring.
Christian Heaven: You sing and to God for all the eternity
Muslim Heaven: 72 Virgins, which by logic after the first sexual act are no morw virgins and become very complaining wifid
Budhist and Hindu Heaven: Sorry no Heaven for you, you are not escaping the samsara.
