If you HAD to choose one of the following ways to die, it would be:

1. What a lovely poll, my dear Lirwin2!

I picked freezing to death...

Did you ever read the story by Jack London...I can't recall the name...

But it was about a man who died that way...

There certainly are worse ways to die!

You just shut down, lose consciousness, and then it's over...

Not that I like any of these!

:wtf:

[Clintonista2]

3. I've heard the same thing, it's kind of like going to sleep

Although the first 20 minutes or so would be pure agony...

[Orrex]

4. Yeah, but it's not as though you'd remember the agony for long

Now that's a glass-is-half-full attitude if ever there was one!

[struggle4progress]

11. To build a fire?

[Mutley]

20. Yeah, that's the one

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I'm going with quick and painless.

If history remembers me as worse than Hitler, so what? I won't be around to worry about it.

[rateyes]

5. Why do you ask?

I'll choose shark food.

[Danger Mouse]

6. Freeze. It isn't pleasant, but it's a better option than the others.

[Boojatta]

7. About: "remembered by history as 'worse than Hitler'

Do you mean "remembered" or "portrayed"? The word "remembered" makes it sound as though the option is for people who would rather do evil on a large scale than suffer a painful death.

[Clintonista2]

8. Portrayed. n/t.

10. I'm gonna go with freezing. Fuck sharks and fuck burning...

[porphyrian]

12. What I want to know is how that scenario would ever play out.

Captured by a serial killer with a warehouse of deathtraps left over from Bond villains who forces me to pick one or quick-and-painless, but then he'll frame me for the brutal genocide of an entire culture and never get caught for all of it?

[Clintonista2]

14. LOL! That sounds about right. n/t.

[Perseid]

13. not from cancer

or a cerebral hemorrage

[Orsino]

15. Quickly and painlessly.

I'm already remembered by some on GD as worse than Hitler, and can live with it.

[SPKrazy]

16. okay it cracks me up

that your avatar is Hillary and you are asking that question

not to start a flame war, it just seems weird to ask the question in the first place, the choices are not ones I'd want, but we don't often get to choose

I would probably pick freezing because I hear you actually fall asleep before you freeze to death


the part before would SUCK BIG TIME

why does it crack me up?

I guess with the "Hitlery" thing that people have going it just does. I dont feel that way about her, if she wins the nomination I'll vote for her.

Al Gore isn't running though :(

[stuntcat]

17. shark nutrition is important!

I pick sharks :headbang: I'd make a nice dinner.

[SoxFan]

18. Nice post, Worse Than Hitler

[dropkickpa]

19. Sharks, definitely

I fucking HATE being cold. Fire burns. Painless is boring. Feed the sharks!

[Hosnon]

21. False premise! False premise!

Why would I chooooooose the way I do? This poll is bullshit.

:sarcasm:

Freeze to death.

Edit: Answer.

[LaurenG]

22. Of course quick and painlessly would be best but not if I'm remembered that way

I'll take sharks so at least there will be no funeral costs and I'll be recycled in a hurry rather that 200-300 years (or more) in an air tight box polluting the earth even more.

I hate thinking that my family would have to pay someone thousands of dollars to embalm me and place me in the ground in a perfectly good piece of wood or un - biodegradable plastic/lead box.

In real life I think they should dig a shallow hole in the yard, surround me with sticks and brush, poor on some fire accelerant and light a match... and then party.

23. Morphine suppositories

We never had to use 'em, but hospice left a bunch in an kit we kept in the fridge.

I was responsible for dispensing oral doses - and swabbing even we weren't sure she was still conscious. But her final word was "good", so we must have been doing it right.

And then there was that moment while the nurse who called the time of death was still there, when I faced that bottle alone. But I flushed the contents down the toilet, because others still need me.
