    So I got run over by a Ford Excursion a few months ago. The story isn't really that interesting, I jumped out of the way and only got my ankle run over. However, as the thing was barreling down at me at 55ish miles an hour, I genuinely believed I was going to die in the next 2 seconds or so. My thought, at what was going to be the last seconds of my life, wasn't of my family, my friends, or a prayer to God, or even really fear or sadness, it was "The last thing I'm ever going to see is the grille of a Ford...Seriously?" Luckily, a split second later, my next thought was "JUMP IDIOT!" and I dodged (though not enough). Has anyone thought they were going to die in the next couple seconds? If so, what did you think about? I imagine its different if your sick and think your going to die, you have more time to think. I'm wondering if anyone thought they has seconds to live, and if they did, what they thought about in those seconds. That said, if you thought you were going to die of illness or injury and had time to think a bit, what did YOU think about?

    Nevermind. I've already gone to several people for a judgement, and they all think my argument is invalid. Oh well. :( Thanks for offering, though.

    Eh, sure, why not. Can't promise they'll buy into it, or that I'll be completely unbiased, but I can certainly do my best. Debate is pointless unless the points are philosophically valid.

    I'm not looking for someone to decide who's right and who's wrong. I'm just looking for someone to determine whether or not a philosophical argument is valid, whenever one is put forth. Still not interested?

    I'm afraid your comment cut-off. :\
    And yes, the debate I had in mind is between forumites (Beliefs thread). Still, *continued above*

    I've spent some time with philosophy. Not so much lately, but it's always fun, as long as you have decent people to work with. If its between you and most of the fourmites, I'm going to have to decline, they debate terribly, unless they agree to abide by actual he debate rules. I've got a philosophy major friend if I have a problem I'm not sure about. Would this be in real t...

    Congratulations! :D
    *pelts you with confetti* :3
    On an unrelated note, would you happen to have a good grasp of philosophy? And a willingness to serve as a referee/judge in a debate? >_>

    Not sure yet, thinking spring 2013. We need to graduate school. She's a bit young, but we knew each other since we were 14her/17me. Got together a year or so ago. Proposed recently.
