A rather simple question: How would you like to pass away? Would you like to go quietly in your sleep, or perhaps during an intimate moment with a spouse?

What is your ideal way to die?

Death by old age despite being smothered for being a cold hearted bitch who ordered the death of millions. My children would murder me in my sleep to end my reign of terror. :)

No. I refuse to die. By the time I come close to death by old age, we will have those neato computers you can place your consciousness in. Since there is nothing after death but complete oblivion, why die?

Anyway, I'd like to die on my 100th birthday at my beach house in Maui, and I'd want my wife to be so upset that she has to drop out of college.

Oh, don't start with me on that; my dad is bad enough. It is nothing more than a reflection of the brain's current state. There is nothing else to consciousness.

I was thinking about this the other day, in a non-suicidal kinda way.
Couldn't come up with many great ideas. Maybe a massive drugs overdose. Have a bit of wild drug fueled fun before the huge low and eminent death. Or just being shot real randomly, i.e not seeing it coming and dying instantly.

Sounds like retiring to L.A. would be a convenient move if you want to do a little of both. :p Not really, but kinda. :)

Been to L.A twice already actually. As for retiring there, well, not sure if I'm that keen.
Granted though, it would be a good place for those particular ideas, heh.

Ohhhh handbag! Look it goes like this.

I was not talking to you, I was replying to the words of another poster, if you don't like what I say, or think that I am 'off topic' then why don't you use your free will and ignore me?

Coz rest assured when you tell me what I should do, well understandably I shall get all riled up.

Y'know I was talking about this sorta stuff with my wife a while ago, and we both said that we would like to die before each other.

I honestly can't see me coping if my wife were to die before me.

Apart from dying when being prepared for it and really expecting it, or something:

In a frickin' spectacular (KABOOM!) and awfully epic way. Not "soldier's death"; doing Rodger Young simply isn't epic enough.

In these times, however, it is hard to steer a starship into collision course with ultra-eb1l something completely obliterating it in the process and thus by sacrificing oneself saving Mankind, duh. I'd thus have to be satisfied with something smaller.

[edit: doing Marvin Heemeyer definitely IS epic enough, however]

Having spent a couple of days in hospital recently with appendicitis, I can say affirmatively, that I do not want to die of a long, drawn out organ failure like some of the people in my ward. Turning bright yellow and pissing blood after a liver failure is not my idea of a dignified exit.

At the moment I tend to put death out of my mind, since when I do have an existential crisis it's probably the most terrifying thing I've experienced. Death isn't something I welcome.

Oh wait.... damn I need to stop dreaming..... I don't care how I go, preferrably saving the life of an animal I suppose. However, if someone were to try and kill me off, theyd better make damn sure I'm dead....

Hmm, reminds me of The Meaning of Life.

In other comedy references, choking to death on a bra aged 181 sounds like a hell of sexy way to go.
