I'd enjoy dying with a sense of the heroic by saving the life of whoever is reading this, so long as they were willing to do the same for someone else.

I'd say without being able to see it coming. Unless I'm ready for it, in which case without pain would be preferable.

Also I'm surprised nobody's posted this yet:

Give me the drugs. I'd probably pick heroin, and I reserve the right to do just that if I get some painful terminal illness.

No. I just recognise it as the end. I don't want life to end. Despite its worst bits, I enjoy it too much.
Whoot :o. You enjoy life? I didn't think we had such people on this forum :?

Yep, if they don't to make euthanasia illegal then let them suffer the consequences. I'm planning to go out on a high.

I don't know about a Parliamentary kill spree, but has anyone mentioned the idea of dying (preferably quickly) during battle? I know, it's something of a Viking/Bushido/Klingon notion, but the honor of fighting to the death in battle has a certain appeal.

I'd personally prefer the death mentioned in Game of Thrones though.

I'm with Ian on this. Knee deep in my enemy's gore, swinging a battle axe at a dragon while singing my Death Song. If you don't help me now, Crom, then FUCK YOU.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I'd probably aim for the Royals first, though a parliament suicide bomb would also be pretty fun.

SOunds nice but... then you'd never get to do all that again, and again, and agian...

I never want to die. Or get any older. Or more infirm. EVAH!

Dying is shit. Imagine never reading Keats again? Or listening to Joni? Or wanking in the bath? Or whatever makes your life worth living.

You might as well talk of the best way of being kicked in the balls. Or the best way to be mugged. Or the best diarrhoea you ever had. It ALL sucks. It's all bad.
Wanking in the bath? :nono: Wet jizz has to be the most indelible stuff on the planet. Need to have another bath when you get out.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

You romantics who want to die in battle know nothing about it. You would probably charge forward, and three seconds after you meet the enemy have your guts ripped out, so that you fall to die in agonising slowness in the mud, which is slowly getting redder from your blood while you scream from the terrible pain.
