    If you had your choice of how to die, what would you pick?

    I think I'd like to go down fighting. I want to be in like a battle that somehow will have an outcome that affects other people. Just as I win, someone takes a cheap shot at me and I fall to a tragic death. But I die slowly. And kind of painfully. But not too painful that I go into shock or cant think. I want to die slowly so that I know I'm dieing. So that I can like look at the sky and go 'well, here it goes'.

    And what would your last words be?

    I think I might say something like; 'I can see god, and he's giving me the finger'.

    Or maybe I'd say something to confuse the hell out of people. Like; 'That was the greatest purple monkey I ever ate.'
    or
    'Suebopaloobop, bing-bang shmang??'

    Yeah, say something completely senseless, but state it in the form of a question.

    'I like walking through the guitar frival-fraf?'

    Just leave people wondering.

    And if you were to commit suicide, what would your note say? I think I'd put something like: "I was talking to a christian the other day and he told me I was going to hell. So I figured, if it's gonna happen, I might as well get it over with...."

    or

    "It was because she broke up with me. Before that I was a happy go-lucky individual. She pushed me into the abyss." and put the name of some past girlfriend. Yeah.....If I'm goin' down, I'm fuckin' bringin' someone with me!

    Or maybe no note. Like I'll spend 7 days acting SO happy and then just end it. And I'll kill myself like with a knife and because I'll die slowly I'll draw a happy face with my own blood on the wall. And if I have the time, I'll write "Life is good!". Also in blood.



    I think these kind of thoughts are what's going to keep me from ever achieving high status in society.

    I don't find that very funny (the bit about suicide)

    The rest

    I would like to die so it means something, like my death will save someone else

    love the coment about god giving you the finger

    Ummm, I think I would die on the field of battle, I sacrifice myself to save my unit. In which case I make a snide remark about atheists in foxholes. Or, "IA! CTHULHU FHTAGN!" just so people will go "What the hell?"

    Or I am a politician, fighting for an unpopular cause. As I walk out of a Congressional hearing, an assasain attacks and stabs me. I just have time to mutter a few last words, words that are carried in every newspaper in America, and many overseas. My death mobilizes the public behind my cause, and I win.

    If I were diagnosed with incurable cancer, I think I would swim into the sea, under the stars, until I lost the strength to keep swimming and drown. In which case, I don't say a word.

    Jeeze, I have a martyr complex. (No pun intended)

    Oh, suicide note - I will never commit suicide, I've lost the reason to. However, "I blame the media.".

    Oh yes, and as it stands, I have a fair chance of being ritually sacrificed to the Great Cthulhu, in which case I would say:

    "That is not dead which can eternal lie
    And with strange eons even death may die"

    Which would also make a really nifty epitaph!

    In the company of family and friends. Having someone hold my hand while speaking encouraging words during those last moments would be nice too. That might ease the lonely and fearful passage into the abyss.

    Asgaurd, I believe anything should be able to be made fun of.
    And the suicide thing shouldn't offend anyone. Like I've said, I've been there.

    Quite right.
    I don't know about the rest of you, but I plan on living for ever.


    Suicide can never be funny. I feel that it is in bad taste to trivialize it.

    Yes, I've attempted it myself.
    Yes, I've waited round in the Accident and Emergency department of Arrowe Park hospital to find out if my ex partner was going to survive or not.
    Yes, I've buried my 24 year old cousin who thought that she had no where to turn.

    Anything can be made light of.
    I've been were you guys have been.
    I've been chronically depresed.

    I'm sorry if I offended, it was not intended.

    Painless,...

    If I do need to die (heavens forbid that they don't invent anything to prevent it) I would rather die quiet and painlessly,...

    If It where to die heroïcally,...
    (that would be the last option if : I wouldn't have already had a heroïc life behind me, with lots of realisations)
    then I would choose to die for a cause,...

    My cause,...ofcourse,...hehehe!

    about suicide,...been there, done that,...know what you mean,...
    but there's no shame nor blame,...
    I would frase it like this:

    something to die for is life itself; hence it's life that take's life, giving life back to life, is denying a gift, verry rude, but when life not pleasant anymore, then dying is no answer to the cause,...


    something to live for is eternal life, and it's death (or the suffering of life or the idear of death) that gave reason to this. Taking what is not ours to take, just cause life itself couldn't give eternal life without consent of death. when death is not a consent factor of life anymore then living in existence itself is also no answer to the cause,....

    Thx

    How would I die, commit suicide?

    Parachute jump without the parachute. Fun, painless(you'd think), impressive splatter.

    Or, fall into an industrial mincing machine and bring a whole new meaning to the words 'eat me'.

    Or die in enemy's closet after they have just left for a long vacation.

    How would I die?

    In my sleep, and not in abject terror -- like those in the back seat.

    You never die, death is just a passing to a brand new life, you cast off this mortal shell, and go on to a higher plain. you can return if you so wish, but would you really want to, i will die knowing that i have a choice to return or not, as i beleave in the japanese and chinese cultures,as these are what i practice.

    To die pumped...

    At age 113, just as I'm grinding out my last 305 pound rep in set of bench presses, I suffer a massive cerebral aneurysm. Though just prior to the moment of my death I manage to straighten my elbows and thus complete the set.

    I think either heroically would be a nice way to go, in my lovers arms (whoever she may be, whether or not she's the one I talk about in life the universe and everything). I'd have just been stabbed after making the speech of the century, convincing followers that would fight for my cause until the sun explodes (or sheds its outer layers).

    But I will live forever. In writing! Writing is the key to immortality!

    I think that if my works are unsuccesful I'd like to go peacefully as an old man with plenty of hope left in him. I'd die in my sleep, and then a few years later someone who worked at the New York Times or something would find my book in the attic of an old library and start flipping through the pages. Although [logically presuming] I wouldn't know it I'd be the next Herman Melville!

    As for suicide, of course it isn't funny, I haven't really given it too much thought (gosh I'm just such a happy go-lucky guy!), but at one point it was just an option, whenever I glanced at a knife and my mind was wandering I would think 'all of your troubles will be over.' I don't intend to go easily. I'll go when I'm damn well ready! Onward! (points short sword forth into legion of oncoming chariots)!

    Please don't make fun of me.

    Fighting and through my death saving the women I love. I guess I just want to fall in love. Anyway, I'd never go down without a fight.

    If I was going to die on my own terms, I would want to die in the middle of a battle field. Well actually, some secluded spot. I would want to kill as many enemies as possible from very long range (at least 600 meters away) until I was finally spotted and killed.

    I figure, if I am going to die, might as well make use of my last few hours living.
