On this site, something is called a curse if the effects are permanent (of course
if the curse sets) and cannot be removed by a regular removal file. In this case, the idea is that the effect - everything you type before 'the end' will come true - will last all your life. If someone uses this file and types something ending with 'the end' years later, it would still come true. And if that someone were to use a regular deprogramming file, anything he types before 'the end' would still come true. Of course he could undo anything by typing the opposite before 'the end'.
So curses on this site aren't necessarily 'bad'. Although I wouldn't want most of them to happen to me, the people who listen to them actually
want the effect. They're just called 'curses' because they are hard to remove. (a case of 'careful what you wish')
By the way, typing "I died THE END" might even be interesting: care to be a ghost for a while? :P
