If I stop breathing will I die?

so much depends on the day and the mood. Sometimes those kind of discussions are just perfect for sarcastically venting other times I just ignore. But sometimes and especially if there are too many in a row... All I can say is that I could have a lot more fun with your breathing question than I could "coffee or tea?"

You will probably die if you are not a fakir. If it is a witty title to get attention, like you are doing, why not ? If it is a stupid and useless discussion, I don't give a response. When I joined myLot, I made fun with some discussions, and I realized that some members were easily hitting the neg button. After all, what looks stupid for you, is perhaps a wise discussion for others.

In answer to your subject heading. Not right away, but if held long enough, then yes, maybe! In answer to your true meaning of this discussion. No, I usually just pass right by them....most of the time. It really depends on how busy I am! I wonder how many responses to your heading you will get without people reading the text below and realising what you are actually on about?

grandpa-lash: yes. the title or topic of discussion evinces interest and invite more people for participation in the discussion. It also depends on the work load you have besides mylot. now i am free. I can spend time. So I am contributing for this. It is not a stupid question considering from the angle of an aged person. have a good day.

I want to say something like Duh? But I will probably just laugh it off and just skip that discussion rather than say something unkind.

I'd start singing, "If I die young, bury me in satin...". Then I'd go on to the next irrelevant discussion, "Do hiccups kill?" The myLot philosophers at work here!

ha ha oh well i would say you probably won't die because you just might not hold that breathe anymore when you are already gasping for air. :D

Yes silly dicussions can be amusing but they can also be very frustrating. However, I am not very good at letting my sarcasm out. By the time I get it into writing I usually modify it because I feel that I am being mean.

hi grandpa__lash no you will not die and to prove it my roomie has used so much nose spray,she's addicted to the stuff and it now makes here nose plug up so she keeps saying she is going to die as she cannot b reathe but she is breathing , just through her mouth is all. well I did not really tackle the silly question right either as you said stop breathing as she did not stop breathing just not through her nose lol,no the beast is still dormant in me and just enjoying answering with sort of silly side ways logic, I am smiling' sweetly as i am typ ing so I am earning and earnings from a silly subject with an equally silly response. lol

@Title question I don't know. Try it and see? And yeah, they do. I think a significant portion of the posts I make on this site are semi-sarcastic responses to idiotic questions (with some serious opinions thrown in at the end, just in case they're genuinely retarded and genuinely seeking answers). Most of those topics probably end up getting deleted. I know that, but it doesn't stop me from answering anyway.

It depends upon what kind of mood I am in and what other discussions I have found for the day. I usually try to play nicely with all the other children in the sandbox, but sometimes I just can't help myself and I have to have a bit of fun. Of course, it is not really much fun if the other person does not understand the sarcasm or irony in my comments.

It depends who posts it. Coming from grandpa users will only see sense in it or imagine that there is sense in it and try and answer it in the most intelligent way as only intellectuals are tolerated here!

It depends on who the question is asking. It says a lot about the person who is asking it, but I do wonder why that person is not going to search on the internet him/herself if he/she has acces to the internet.

Stupid questions deserve stupid answers. So it'd be more like sharpening up the sarcastic tongue. But it would depend on who's asking the question. Sometimes people have no idea on how stupid their question is. For example, If my 3 year old cousin was asking the question, "IF I stop breathing, will I die?". I would answer in a very polite manner, or explain the process of air being taken into our lungs and how it is very important. A 3 year old has absolutely no clue. If a 30 year old would ask that, I'd simply say.. "ARE YOU HIGH?" So there you have it. It's not on what the question is, it's more on, who's asking it.

No it does not...bring out the beast in me. It neither makes me feel sharpening up my sarcastic tongue nor oiling up any irony. However, i'd rather not grease the cynicisms or take the fool apart. I feel I'm just mylotting.

true, topics can really attract people to respond but then again, as for me, i try to read most of the discussions i see even though the titles are not that interesting.. but this title you have here got me Grandpa_lash but i also did try to stop breathing on my own... lol it didn't work

Seeing that you have an uber amount of responses to the obvious I will just add this... "REALLY?!?!?!" No, but I have to say it is ripe for a little shake of the head. I am a little more conservative and think that making that nickle is their objective. I assume it will also be deleted. One discussion was started, "do you like such and such?" I politely responded, but within a few days it was rejected. I think rightfully so. Maybe if they stopped posting them, I wont have to hold my breath...( insert obvious sarcastic remark...) Have a great day...
