God you're an idiot... the point here is that he doesn't GET to have any of that experience... he's dying, life over at 15. Who are you, or anyone, to tell him what he wants to experience out of life before he dies?Ninja_X said:Thats a dumb last request.
There is soo much more to life than sex.
No that kid was cheated out of 60+ years of life to learn what lifes true fulfilment really is.killer-corkonian said:You don't deserve a hat if that makes you proud.
Disregard things I say when they sound cruel, it's just that kid was cheated into thinking that life's true fulfilment was sex.
what? rape? for something /he/ wanted?Sewblon said:The prostitute should be in jail for statutory rape.
Really? Name calling? Well we can't consider this a mature comeback but it raises a valid point more or less.God you're an idiot... the point here is that he doesn't GET to have any of that experience... he's dying, life over at 15. Who are you, or anyone, to tell him what he wants to experience out of life before he dies?
And I can completely understand it.. when I was 15, sex was pretty damn high on my list of interests. Over a decade later, yeah there is a lot more to life then sex, and sex with meaningless partners doesn't interest me like it once did... but he's not going to be around long enough to learn that is it? It's not something you really teach.
I LOVED this post. Absolutely true we all have our opinions and its good to see someone respect that. Even if they are all shit. My argument is crap, your argument is crap, but we all have different opinions that should be respected.Nmil-ek said:I love all the over analysing and holier than thou moralists here, great you dissaprove of what happened but you know what your opinion counts for squat it happened he probably died more fulfiled and good for the kid, good way to go. As the old saying goes "opinions are like arseholes everyone has one and they're all full of shit".
Agreed.Meh, sex isn't all in life. I mean, its fun and everything, but who the fuck wants to lose it to a prostitute. They creep me out.
You sir, are an idiot.Mimsofthedawg said:I just want say that I never said the kid couldn't have a dying wish. And yes, things could get better. What most people don't understand is that the news is VERY easy to get into... all you have to do is call them the kid could have gotten a hold of them and said this stuff in an interview. Further, I know people personally who used their afflictions to further causes, whether personal or multi-national.Sebass said:When I'm about to die, filipino kids are the last thing on my mind. Not to mention that nobody would probably hear that except for his doctors/nurses/family members.Mimsofthedawg said:There are a few things. Like what if he used his death to call upon charitable actions for his fellow man? Or focused the attention off of himself and said, "Look, I'm really screwed up, but I know I'm going to die. There's children in sex trafficking rings that could probably only wish to die. Really, I'm much better of than they are. Why are we willing to spend so much money on a few cancer patients when there's exponentially more children used as indecent slaves around the world? I'm not saying I don't appreciate the care and sympathy, I'm just saying that there's people out there who need care and sympathy more than I do."
Having said that, I'm not saying what he requested was bad (I probably would do something similar), but my point is there's other things he could have done that would be better... and none of them involve space shuttles.
But okay yes, that would be a more altruistic aproach but would it have been better ? It would not make a single difference in the world and he would not have had a dieing wish either. Besides, an escort is not cheap doesn't cost THAT much.
Why?3. Maybe not to you, but I'm going to go ahead and hold them in utter contempt and think of them as unpeople.
I believe in a single person's ability to change the world. Having said that, I don't find his request wrong or "worse". I just think that, if he only focused on that aim, he missed out on the chance to truly live.
K I'm gonna argue against you without sounding retarded here.theultimateend said:Well sex is everything when concerning biological life.

As for social living its not necessarily everything. But considering the huge effect it has in basically every facet of life (even down to what fast food place folks will eat at) it certainly gets under appreciated.
Well I'd hardly consider loosing ones virginity to a whore, as an act of "Sexual maturity".Nurb said:The first list isn't exactly possible for someone who has months to live is it? You don't think he wanted to do that with his life? Do you think he wanted to be cheated the way he was and decide whether or not to die a virgin as a sexually mature human being?
This post is so full of truth its amazing.hippo24 said:Well I'd hardly consider loosing ones virginity to a whore, as an act of "Sexual maturity".Nurb said:The first list isn't exactly possible for someone who has months to live is it?

My point was, that for all the "atta boys" and seals of approval he was getting. The boy's final request pales in comparison to many things in life.
I was illustrating that loosing your virginity to a jaded prostitute that you've never seen before that day and has "done" it with countless guys, pales in comparison to the higher pleasures in life. Many people fail to realize that this kid missed the mark.
Its reasonable to say that he could have done something meaningful, and left this world with more than just his own self-interest. From asking for a way to thank his parents, who obviously had to work hard just to keep him alive. To donating his money to the cause thats killing him. He could have even asked for something that might save another's life, like offering up any functioning organs (he obviously was healthy enough for sex so something must be salvageable).
Its worse than the many kids who are younger than him who wish for WOW accounts and Micheal Jordan. At least those have some form of meaning because your able to do what you love with those that love you. Thrusting your hips against something until your brain says stop, is no different than taking a drug. Its not like the sex hes having has any meaning to it, that whore is not his lover, he has no real attachment. Its just sexual release.
He was given the choice to have his wishes honored, and instead of working toward true happiness in his or another persons life.
He asked for meaningless sex.
All I'm trying to say is that, why I don't abhor this scenario, nor do I think it was wrong for them to honor his wish, I do however think that the boy was making a mistake.
So instead of leaving behind a meaning or a gift, he left behind his self-worth and a news story about it.
The only thing he was cheated out of was long life. If he left anything behind it would have been forgotten or unnoticed. No one thought any less of him for what he did, all of his friends and family where fine with it. Hell, the doctors and nurses were even cheering for him to fulfill his wish.hippo24 said:Well I'd hardly consider loosing ones virginity to a whore, as an act of "Sexual maturity".Nurb said:The first list isn't exactly possible for someone who has months to live is it?
