Its bad enouth knowing i wont be alive in 100 years from now nether mind knowing if i was going to die in 10 mins time. so no
its intresting to see the replies of "ad like to know so i could do what ever i want and get away with it" it shows we all are but amimals carged by soiaty.

If Death tells you you're gonna die, you're gonna die. The car would probably drive through your living room, right over you.
As for me no. I'm human and no, i don't like facing my mortality.
A very long time ago, in Australia, they were showing a TV show that could help you predict very acurrately, when you were going to die. I did not watch it.
But then again if i just dropped dead one day while playing my computer games, i'd be very sad, since i would've never got to achieve anything great (not Xbox 360 achievements btw XD)
After thinking about this for a long time, I realised that I would say yes*, but the information would be pointless, since something like that supports the idea of Fate being in control of our lives (I could explain, but it would be a long explanation) and therefore, the idea of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory becomes redundant (You see, if Fate exists, and you are fated from birth to be a bad person, then you can't be punished for it, and, similarly, if you're fated to be a good person then you can't really be rewarded for it, either). And me, being a Christian who believes in Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, find this question impossible to answer

If you knew you would die at 26, come your 20's, and you'd just think 'fuck it, I'm gonna die soon anyway' and not bother having fun. That, or you'd off yourself.
I think that if someone told you how long you had to live, it would probably make you decide to do alot more things in your life before your time was up. On the other hand it would take the fun out of life because in essence knowing your death-day would take out all the excitement out of living and not knowing what could be around the next corner.
I would love to know the day I will day to the second but only if the day is a less accurate day than to the second on the day, as I clearly voted in the poll.
And At that exact moment A 18 wheel truck correens of the road and makes you dissapear in its grill.zhoomout said:

There is nothing paradoxical about it at all. Him telling you causes you to act exactly how you are supposed to. He is supposed to tell you, you are supposed to try and escape it, and this is what leads you to your death. There is no real paradox there.Markness said:
I suppose it would be cool to know so you can get the best out of what you have left, but it would really suck as you got closer to your date of death... so I would probably prefer not to know. It would make my last few days really depressing.
What would be the point of living if you knew when you would stop ticking. The only thing that keeps humanity worth doing is the mortality factor...
Does the appearance of a 'Deity' imply that there is something in the afterlife?
If it did, I'd probably do a ton of volunteer and charity work just to get in His good books. I wouldn't worry about dying... that much
If it doesn't, then I wouldn't. Knowing when your life would end would just make me depressed. I'd constantly think about that fateful day...
But then again, it wouldn't really matter. If there is nothing after death, then you can't miss life, because you don't exist. You don't think.
The phrase 'Ignorance is bliss' comes to mind when I read this sort of stuff.

Yeah. Then I would know... wait... wait. I'm an atheist... ummm, lets say it was a machine that accurately predicts your time of death for my version of this scenario. Okay. Continuing on, I would say yes anyway, because then I would know exactly when I could kill the... jack-ass's... that I really hate, and still get away with it... because I'll be dead soon after.
Morbid and slightly psychotic, but, hey, you asked.

saying yes could actualy make it a self-fulfilling prophecy, people have actuly got themselves killed after someone told them they were going to die, because they were told so and either went crazy trying to stop it, or acted so careless that they accidentaly put themselves in harms way.
