Re: How do you want to die?
This is a heavy topic for the Frontroom.
I haven't given it much thought other than I don't want it to be a slow death over months or weeks like two of my grandparents, a friend and now my wife's grandfather.
But since the question is asked, I supposed that in order to keep in character with my life, I like my death to have something incredibly funny about it (but not embarassingly so). Something funny enough that family and friends at the funeral couldn't help but break out in laughter everytime they thought about my demise. I imagine a eulogy delivered haltingly because the speaker couldn't keep a straight face. I don't know if, from an emotional standpoint, that would be a healthy thing for those I'd have left behind, but I would like to think it would be.

Re: How do you want to die?
Call me crazy, but I swear I've actually seen a vision of my death:
I'm a POW in North Korea during a prison break. I'm by myself when I see the main body of escapists about to be intercepted by some guards and cut down in a hail of gunfire. I lay down suppressive fire on the guards which enables to main body to actually escape! Unfortuneatly, I'm the only person they have left to shoot at and I'm hit in myside and fall against something wooden at my back. As I'm laying there in anguish I feel the barrel of a pistol pushed against the back of my head.
There is the sound of the hammer being pulled back.
I think it will only come true so long as I maintain the Army as my career. As of right now I don't intend to get out.
All I want is
Peace, and One Love,

I wish I could stay a little while longer after my death to see the impact of it. That would be awesome. Stupid laws of the universe...

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?
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.

Re: How do you want to die?
I like the idea of a noble, selfless act, like diving in front of a bus to push a straying toddler out of the way. Otherwise, can I vote "I'd simply rather not?"

AW: How do you want to die?
I don't intend to die :|
But if it happens it'll have to be with a bang. A TRUE MAN'S DEATH. A bullet in the chest or belly while in war as you lie there down bleeding to death (or dead very fast) but it'll have to be after having been in war for a long long damn long time, grown in rank and have achieved great victories in the field. A noble -- and even "glorious" death while defending a place with your men outnumbered, where you fight vehemently and heroically. Ahhlol.
Or a vehicle crash of some kind where you are instantly dead.
Why are you setting this poll?
Don't tell me you're about to die or something like that.
Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
Emotion: you have it or it has you.
