How do you want to die? Tired of ads?

Memento Mortem, the Romans used to say. - Remember death. Of course I don't wanna die, but that is not an option. I have always wondered about what the best way is... Going out in a blaze of glory, or after a long and tiresome life?

Dying in my sleep after living a health 135 years sounds good. Or perhaps not dying at all, who knows what the future holds.

Dying by a swift bullet in my throat, shot by myself, at the precise date, hour and minute that I want. I just dislike not being in control of my death.

Ok, not dying at all would be preferrable, so if you really insist on not dying, I think cryogenics could be the thing.

The best way to die is on stage, whilst performing in an actual death scene. The one from Boris Godunov would be the best, of course...

Why in the throat ? Any particular reason ? (As opposed to heart, mouth etc...)

My brother and I have a pact that we'll commit suicide by sledding down the Grand Canyon in winter once we turn senile in eighty-odd years. Unfortunately, by then we'll likely be so senile that we'll both forget our pact, so we'll just have to die of something boring like syphilis.

Erm, i meant mouth, not throat. I heard it was the least painful way and the most efficient one. When I want to die, I don't want to suffer in the process.

I want to Jump off a huge Building with my gunz blazing... blazing in the Direction of the Lefties that is...

One day the Lefties will go too far ... 'we need to make a BIG impact' they'll say to themselves .... 'Capitalism must be destroyed' another rants on.... 'Down with the Fat Cats - get the directors!' another exclaims. But going For Canary Wharf is one thing Rothy is well prepared for...

So, as on the 21st floor Lefty Bin Lenin prepares to do his mission, how he got in there was a fault of the system - Everyone knew he looked dodgy, but his ethnic colour exempted him from being Searched (that'd be Racist woudnt it).
Rothy is not far off when he strips off his jacket.. there's a lot of Bombs there - The tower will never withstand this..... , but what to do?
Suddenly, as if the Police were controlled with Buttons There were Cars pulling up, dimplomats with speakers and camera crews frantically getting into posistion on the ground ... but Rothy has another idea - I'll get the 'Steward - thwart thier idea. Rothy is just wearing His Millers shirt, no shirt and tie, and no apparent threat to the lefties, but with his armour plate under the MILLERS shirt he starts his run... By this time his plate had took 10 bullet's from surroudning lefties 'Capitalist!!!' they scream, but I'm nearing Bin Lenin now, and he's looking nervously at that Big glass window . The Grab is quality tho... Bin lenin's bomb cased body woudnt go thru the Window without blowing, so as Rothy completes his Rugby tackle like challenge he spin's extravangly Making the back of His Millers Shirt hit the Window at full speed with Bin lenin firmly in his Grasp, but bin lenin's crew's are frantically trying to detinate the explosives while's he's still in reach, a beutiful left footed shot however sends a stray Football into the path of a chasing lefty, knocking him for 6.. the glass is clearly shatter now and the pair are clearly OUT of the Building... So Rothy let's the Blaze of his gun's hit his in flight partner firmly... BANG...
The Explosion merely causes a Rumble to the Tower.. the ground crew are now frantically running as the Fireball accelerates to the Ground..... at this point the World is Saved already though, the lefties plan failed and Rothy the saviour of the Great Capitalist world.

There is actually a fine tradition of singer/actors dropping dead on stage in mid-performance. The most famous operatic one was the American baritone, Leonard Warren. In 1960, he was singing the role of Don Carlo in Verdi's La Forza del Destino at the Metropolitan Opera. He had just finished "Urna fatale del mio destino," an exceedingly difficult aria, and then was heading offstage when he suddenly keeled over face-first onto the stage. The audience gasped in shock as the curtain came crashing down, and the people in the wings (including tenor Richard Tucker, Warren's best friend) came racing onstage. Medics were called, the audience was abuzz with concern, when about 20 minutes later General Manager Rudolph Bing stepped out from behind the curtain and announced that Warren had passed away, and the remainder of the performance was cancelled.

Warren apparently suffered a massive aneurism and was probably dead before he hit the stage. The worst part was that his wife and children were attending that performance and were witnesses to it.

But in terms of a dramatic way to go, that's hard to beat.

Suffering from ads?

Because I don't ever want to die, I choose the death that is the longest in coming, the natural process of aging. Hopefully that pesky little phenomenon can be overcome someday.

The single most important thing is for it to happen without much pain beforehand. As I'll end up in hell anyway i don't think I want to experience to much of it before hand.

KIA, shot several times. I'm first shot and downed, and after bad guys are robbing my pockets, I open my eyes and give the robber multiple stab wounds to his chest and face. This robber will not die however, but he will remember forever the guy who gave him the scars. My dream .

paiktis, come on, don't ruin my dream . Nah, I'd much rather survive though. And if I was in that situation, I'd prolly just kill myself or plead for help. I think if I was a sure case, I wouldn't be sure if I want to take as many with me, because they're just people too.

If I had to choose, I'd go in a big adrenaline rush, like driving car super fast, or something simular. Jump off an airplane and not launch the parashute. Something like that. Or then in my own home, peacefully with all my loved ones next to me and I get to say fairwell to everyone just in time.

.. nah.. I go with the stabbing the enemy with my last energy thing
