Smile Shinigami? Are they real?

Shingami could be real in many ways. For examples one could think that Shingami means "Death God" Therefore is "Real". Many could say that Shingami are real because Death Is real and where do you go after death? Maybe a Shinigami takes you away? Maybe people just decay in the ground. In this topic, we will discuss if Shinigamis are "Real" or Not real.

You could be thinking that I got this from the anime "Death Note" But this is merely a subject that I wish to get off my mind due to all my friends wondering if its they are real or not. People say they are through "Feelings" and the way people can "See" or "Feel" the death god before they die. Some people believe that its there for show just so that your scared to die.

What do you think?

I personally don't think they are real. But you know, that's me without being into ghosts and all that stuff.

You should broaden the topic, IMO.

Also, you watch too much anime.

I don't know much about death note, but it's generally considered to be a similar thing as devil, demon, ghost, Satan, etc.

"ARE [anime thing]S REAL????" is NOT critical thinking. You are creating absolutely no points for discussion here, you're just saying "think about it!!" which isn't critical thinking at all.

Listen. Stop making topics for a while. Read what other topics are like and get a feel for what makes a good topic around here. So far, every topic you've made has been hideous.

Well I dont know Tokiz, IIRC there are threads for Ghost and all so I wouldnt think this is so bad execpt that he doesnt explain anything other then "iz it real". He should explain what they are at the least

JX: It's Bleach.

Your taking TV to seriously.
Its not real...
Sorry.

I watched Family Guy and saw a horse explode.
Must be real right?

What happens when you die is all up to you...
Let your imagination take you away.

Ok dude; I will help you before you get flamed. Fantasy threads are NOT critical thinking threads.

Unfortunately for your topic, humanity is a function of species, and an offspring made from the DNA of humans is a human. Sex, In Vitro fertilization, etc etc all of these methods of creating new humans create humans.

These people are possesed of the same basic humanity and thus all the rights and responsibilities of humans. To suggest otherwise strikes me as either ignorant, or incredibly inhumane.
Not only do you fail to heed his advice... you make an even worse topic of discussion for CT.

Both aspects of religion AND fantasy rolled into one!
Wow; that sentence was quite redundant.

CT is supposed to have threads worthy of actual debate. The existence of an artificial concept from anime is quite clear...shinigami do not exist, except within their respective anime universe. There's nowhere to go from here; post something that can actually be argued for a more successful CT thread. As it is, I expect devonin to swoop down at any moment and kill us all.

Claims need evidence. What they don't need is "Well, they could be or could not be, but wouldn't it be cool if they were"
