Re: How do you want to die?
Actually right now I'm in the "I don't want to die" crowd. I always want to see what tomorrow brings - both personally and current events. My curiosity for what lays ahead sustains me. I'm sure someday my curiosity will turn to dread when I realize tomorrow will only be another day of someone having to feed me and I have to poop in a bedpan again. Only then, with my body functions failing left and right, I may be willing to fold my hand.

Re: How do you want to die?
This is a bit of a heavy topic.
I do share your sentiments Gregoshi, personally I am terrified of death and the thought of dying. Not entirely sure why though, seeing how I (and everyone else for that matter) have absolutely no way of knowing what happens. I do not believe in the concept of a soul, or the idea of an afterlife, though I very much want to. The idea of spending an "eternity" in happiness with my family, friends, and pets sounds great, but I just haven't seen anything to make me believe there is such an existence, or even a god or god(s) for that matter. There might be, might not be. Maybe there is a "heaven" and "hell". Maybe I haven't lived up to some arbitrary code or set of standards to warrant my soul's entry to this "heaven". I honestly don't worry about it though, the only time it ever affects me is when I see and hear about death that hits close to home, or perhaps get to thinking about people (and pets) that have passed on and knowing I may truly never see them again.

I don't want to die.
So far, so good...
Re: How do you want to die?
Normally, I would have preferred to die in battle. However, as warfare is not what it used to be(as in there are no longer any set battles), I really am unsure. But then again, I cannot change the way or time I die, so I'm not going to worry about it.

No, been there done that (almost). It hurts.

LMAO Honestus ! You are the INFEEDEEEEL !!! LOL !!
I'm not sure I'm afraid of death.
Have faced it before and yes I was afraid I guess. That fear was emotive though, not rational. Sweat, increased heart rate, blood rush, increased breathing, andrenaline, aggression. Animal instincts to deal with the situation at hand. I'm not sure it was fear though, because I was suprememely confident, and not nervous or you know... freaked.
I accept it as a fact of life, nothing much to it really.
I'd like to die in Hawaii, on the balcony of my condo looking over the Pacific Ocean. Sipping a nice Scotch, preferably a Talisker or a Lagavulin. Smoking a nice cigarette, preferably a Gitanes or a Lucky Strike.
I would be happy if no one grieved me and they were glad I lived the life I did. I would like when I die that all I knew were happy that I lived the life I did, to it's natural conclusion, and they celebrated at my death. Don't get it wrong, hope you understand what I mean.
In another era (M2:TW, STW etc) I'd like to have died in battle, or was I soldier today (Iraq, Afghanistan) I would like the same, to die in battle, of course. Preferably while inflicting the maximum amount of damage to the enemy !!! or protecting my own.

I could, of course, say something that would probably get me insta-gibbed. So I won't.

So I guess I'll live on...and transfer my consciousness to the Internet like in Ghost in the Shell or something. Porn Forever.
Re: How do you want to die?
During the noble and selfless act of sleep, while saying something extremely witty to those cute baby animals in my dreams.
Re: How do you want to die?
The death of a warrior, die during the battle while fighting to the death and killings hundreds of my enemies before finally being killed by a rain of arrows . Probably the best death, you might be even remembered as a hero.
Re: How do you want to die?
You might even make it into a movie.

Re: How do you want to die?
Prefereably I would like to die in my sleep, with Famke Janssen next to me but during a selfless/noble act would be great too. Nothing that makes me suffer too long.
Re: How do you want to die?
perhaps die ill but i hope its painless cause i really want the Last Rites before i die.

Re: How do you want to die?
I voted noble selfless act + Axes and pile of corpses OR in my sleep.
Why those two? Well if I get married and have children I'd like to see my grandchildren. However, if I never marry I want to die young, full of life and I want to FACE death and spit in his eye.
My ideal martial death involves me wearing a lot of armour and charging into the massed enemy ranks on a white stallion, laying about me with lance and sword.
