  Would you rather have one excruciatingly painful moment or chronic mild pain every day for 2 years?

Here's the situation:

You have just been informed that you are going to be inflicted with physical pain (full body pain), but you have a choice. You can choose to have this pain be mild, but last for 2 years of your life or you can have this pain be excruciatingly strong for only 1 day of your life. Which do you choose?

(There is no way to avoid the pain, you have to choose. Don't ask me why you're being inflicted with pain, just accept it and answer the question. *wink* )

6I can't/won't choose even though this isn't an option.

One day is better. A short but passing bout of extreme pain cleanses the soul.

Mm mm, endorphins. Where's the down side to one day of excruciating pain?

One moment. Reminds me of why I titled my book so *surprise*

I hate the word mild. I only like it in the third HP book where JK describes Lupin as so *smile*

oh. no! i was just talking in general. i amuse myself by saying things randomly. though strange its fun. besides i'm guessing by your name that your a guy. why would you be offended if i call you a slut? a girl i can understand but other than that i wouldn't think you would take offense

One day. If a woman can survive hard child labor for 8 or more hours, or a few hours of severe kidney stone pain, I think I could last for one day. I would hate to make the choice.

The pain is over after that one day, so one day sounds good to me. It builds character and all that jazz as well. Unless the pain was enough to kill you, then I'd say two years of mild, chronic pain.

Are you coming on to me? Jk. i am so freaking confused. if your a girl then why is your name oscar Mr. Weatherbee. i do declare it was Mr. Biggles, in the kitchen, with the cat food dish. DUH DUH DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AND SO THE PLOT THICKENS!

I have dealt with a small pain for a few years before, so it's no biggie *wink* But I'm a baby, even if I could have, I wouldn't have traded it for a whole day of excruciating pain.

One day of horrible pain because you can keep in mind that it's only for 1 day and never again. If you choose mild pain for 2 years then you have to go to bed at night and dread waking up to pain EVERYDAY!! YUK!!

I would choose one day of excruciating pain. I've had backproblems which have caused me to have mild pain everyday for years and I don't like it. I wish I could just bundle it all up and get it all over and done with in one day.

I think I would prefer the one day of excruciating pain. Would it start immediately though? or would I have to anticipate it for 2 years?

I live daily with pain and it really sucks... after time you almost forget about it... but what is worse is the few days that it doesn't hurt because then you really realize how bad it is

I hate pain and just the thought of it makes me cringe so excruciating pain is out of the question but I think I can deal w/ mild pain for 2 years.

I have had 3 kids so I have had 3 days of excruciating pain and lots of years of mild pain so I guess I have picked both.
