The Resurrection Thread
 

The Question: If you could resurrect one person from the dead for a day, who would it be?

What would you do with them, what would you talk about, and why them?

This is a great idea for a thread! I would want to have my friend who took his own life back for a day. I would pick him so i could find out why he shot himself and why he could not just ask for help. I guess i don't really knoww what i would do with him, maybe have one last beer together. Again, great idea Alky =)♥

Great to hear such a personal response. I'm very sorry about your friend, and hope you two meet again some day in a better place. Life and death are two strange subjects I don't suppose I'll ever understand. Thank you for being so open, Pink.

it'd have to be someone who died before their time ..

i dont know anyone personally who died like that ...
or any public figures for that matter - that i thought was too son.

i guess Brandon Lee so he could finish the crow series properly.

he was taken just before he took off.

John Lennon too .. he was just getting his shit together .. he deserved a more peaceful death .. he still had a lot to accomplish too.

Hmm this is a tough one. There would be a few I would wana....
One being my ex who killed himself and father in a massive car accident. I would ask him why and want to know exactly what happened. He had serious issues I already know that.
Then there would be some one like Marylin Monroe or John F. Kennedy or Christopher Reeves, he was a huge inspriration to me.
I will have to put some more thought into this.

jesus:eek:

Absolutely.

I guess I've always wanted to find out what exactly the fuck happened to the Aussie prime minister guy that went missing...not that I really care, but, I'd like to know, not #1 on my list there, just the first thing that came to mind.

If it was only for one day, as per the thread question...I wouldn't bother with trying to get something in the history books changed or try to have anyone change the world, a day wouldn't really be enough. Being as that is, I'd be selfish.
know this seems lame, but I might ressurect my dog Loki. He was murdered when he'd temporarily went to live at my mothers place in the country...I always thought I'd see him again. Maybe just to spend a proper day with him, say g'by and all, and make sure that he knew how important he was and how much I'd miss him, how much he mattered...sometimes I wonder if he did...
Haven't much had any one person die on me, so yeah, this one's mine.

Sylvester Stallone. Wait...that's his career that's dead, not him. MY BAD!:D

I have a tattoo entitled "IMAGINE" as that is one of my favorite songs.

I would have to say I would like to bring my father back. Ask him everything I was afraid to ask when he was here, tell him thanks for everything, and tell him everything that I would of liked to say to him before he past over, I guess i'm going to have to wait until i'm gone.

Adolf Hitler.
Put him in a synagogue, and give the people the chance to do to him, what he did to them.

Jesus Christ, so I could get a few things straight about his views on family, homosexuality, child abuse and a million other things that people twist for their own advantages "in Jesus's name". And if he turns out to be as unkind and judgemental as people make him out to be, then I'll happily boot his ass right back into his hole when the day is over.

Apparently that was #1 on the charts on the day I was born...I know this useless peice of trivia on account of another thread sometime in the past.

Thats really cool, it's a great song and I'm a young one so its rare to see someone my age enjoy him, and the beetles, all my friends ask WTF is wrong with me. I tell them i'm old school, and it is great music that they should open up and listen to it.

Steve Urwin... He was such a huge inspiration for me. I would tell him about what I want to accomplish with wolves and get his advice. ...All the things I would want to talk about...

What do you want to accomplish with wolves?

I want to keep them from becoming extinct. To this day, in Alaska, though it is highly illegal according to the Endgangered Species Act, people are riding on snow mobiles and massacring them at random. Ranchers in the great plains states are encroaching on their habitat depriving them of their food supply and killing them if they so much as breath near a cow. I mean, they will kill a momma wolf, put her pups in a sack and beat them to death or drown them. They're numbers are thinning.

However, I want to work for all endangered species, just, you know, wolves occupy a very special place in my heart. They have since I was a kid. As I said in a previous thread, when I first heard "Little Red Riding Hood" I was outraged. I hated that story.

In NC, where I live, people all but completely wiped out the Red Wolf. The only live Red Wolves were in captive sanctuaries. It's just been in the last ten years that they've been reintroduced back into the wild. They're starting to get a foothold.

Another problem is the people that think wolves would make great pets and cross breed them with dogs polluting the lines and creating hybrids. And this is a problem with many endangered species... people taking them as pets... You see it a lot with the Bengal and Siberian Tigers and with lions.

Cool. I wish you well with that.

Definitely The King, Elvis. We'd hang out at Graceland, have our own little party of pharmaceuticals and fried PBJ's, he'd sing some old gospel tunes for me, then we'd TCB, and talking would be all about Pricilla and what he thinks of her new face.
And why Elvis? Because he's ELVIS.

@ haunted

I love wolves too. While studying at university (Environmental Science) a topic I wrote about concerned the naturalisation and re-establishment of wildlife into areas where they now have become extinct, namely Britain; it covered quite a large and diverse number of animal species, one of which was the Grey Wolf, as part of the topic I had to give the reason why the animal became extinct, not surprisingly Man was the cause. In parts of britain it was considered a "sport" to kill wolves and there where special days where wolves were slaughtered. Even now in parts of Europe, the wolf is not protected enough, so that killings are common place.

Anyway all I was going to say was I wish you well in trying to help these magnificent animals.

I'd have a chat with Marlon Brando, he seemed like a character.

In terms of someone I knew, I'd get my Grandad who died when I was in infant school, so I could spend a day with him as an adult and have a proper conversation.

I would have to go with my mom. She died of unexpected stroke at age 58...I was 27...my parents divorced when I was 10 and she was the best mom anyone could ever ask for. My oldest daughter was 7 when she died, my youngest was born 2 months before she passed. I would just want to tell her how much I appreciated all the sacrifices she made for me...and that all I am, all that my kids are...is because she did such a good job just being a mom.
The worst part about losing someone like that is that you simply cannot ever even pick up the phone to talk to them...and as my kids grow, I imagine some of the things she would be a part of that she is missing out on.
Never forget one time when I got on to my daughter for nothing really, my mom told me "Phillip, don't get on to her. You are lucky that she is sooo good. She just wants to play." Makes me smile and haunts me to this day 7 years later. :o
