In Naked Gun 2, Leslie Nielson stated a bunch of ways to die that were better than being beaten and burned. (He was referring to OJ Simpson being injured and dying.) One of those were:

"Getting your gonads trapped in a combine. Yeah, that's the way I want to go."
 
Who would be crazy enough to vote #1 or #2?

The kind of person that ends up with #3 ?



I voted for my loved ones to watch me die, without them even trying to save me. Probably not quite the same as the poll option suggests, but.....
 
I have allways wanted to fall several hudred meters. I want my last moments to be filled with adrenalin.
:lol: You want your last moments to be filled with absolute terror and screams. :eek:

Sealed in an iron ball and fired into the sun by a nuclear cannon for me
Why not use a spaceship?
I dont do things that way
WTH???? :lol: :lol: The exchange was very funny. "I dont do things that way"
I was going back and forth between #2 and #1, and finally picked #1.
2??!! :eek: Nasty
I think Eran's is the more moral option.

My preferred death is one that occurs due to my own free will.

I agree 100%. My own free will, exactly.
Why should nature or chance determine my death?
 
I don't want that fear that I know it's coming soon without knowing precisely when
 
Pick options 2 and 3 or pick between them?

There's quite a bit of overlap between those two.
But, you could slot 60,000 people (per day) into those two categories. Sometimes you'd have trouble decided which of those two to go into, I guess.

That's a LOT of suffering that should be alleviated.
 
I can't believe nobody's answered with this yet:

...in a state of grace.
 
Isnt the state of grace reserved for after you die?
 
I've thought about this a good bit.

In a general sense I'd like to die at the age of 95 or so, preferably unclothed with a similarly unclothed woman. Like that'll ever happen :rolleyes:

If I'm to be executed, I'd prefer the firing squad if available. It'll hurt a little more, but I might give some poor executioners nightmares, and I know it will give the governor a headache. I'm just nice like that :satan:. If firing squad is not an option I'll go for the Hangman's Noose. To bad it can't be public.

If I'm murdered or theirs a war going on I'd like to die with a weapon in my hand and an awful lot of company. At least I might be remembered.

If I ever commit suicide I'd like to jump off the Grand Canyon. Or anything high up really.
 
Fast if I were defending something I believed in.

But if not, in my sleep. I'd rather not feel the apprehension one feels when contemplating one's own mortality before actually passing away.
 
#1 In an epic battle against evil. That would be an awesome way to die.
 
Like puglover said. I would like to die in an epic battle against evil. I would also like to die while saving innocents from bad guys.
