Just reading about that space shuttle that exploded on re-entry (haunting memories of watching the Challenger in 1984 at school with all the teachers and classmates when it exploded - the palatable silence was deafening) and it just occurred to me....how would you like to depart this world?
Would you want to go quietly in your sleep?
Or maybe in a plane crash? Or be immortalised in a gunfight with terrorists?
Or perhaps a James Dean, in a ferocious car crash?
So post how you'd like to die AND how you probably would die?
Sorry for such morbidity (does such a word exist?) but I'm working on a Sunday so I feel pretty moribund...
Myself, I'd like to die at sea, perhaps trying to board a ship like a fiendish pirate!
However, in all likelihood, I'll probably die of some horrible wasting disease whilst I'm bed-ridden in an scummy NHS hospital....

Nothing rash, love. Anyway, wouldn't you recoil in pain, screaming at the highest of all high pitches, or are you simply, as is known in the business, 'rock-hard'?

Slowly lowered into a pool of molten steel.
Failing that, I'll never die. I AM INVINCIBLE!

Yes, but it depends on how high up you are. If it's just high enough to cause you to die by something like loss of vital fluids, then you'd be thinking that, but I would be worrying about everyone I'd be leaving behind if it was a really high cliff, because you'd still have enough time to think of it. That's my mind, anyway.

I've never been pushed off a cliff to my death - evidently - but I know I wouldn't be thinking that. I'd be thinking;
"Sh*t, someone just pushed me off a cliff"
Then I'd probably just die.

I've never been pushed off a cliff to my death - evidently - but I know I wouldn't be thinking that. I'd be thinking;
"Sh*t, someone just pushed me off a cliff"
Then I'd probably just die.
I understand.

But what if you are feeling that you have nothing left to do with your life? It's still a waste if you are sat on your backside all day instead of occupying a place in the ground (sorry to put it so bluntly). I'd much rather give all my money to people who need it rather than waste it supporting my pointless life.
Hopefully, my life will never reach that stage, and I can understand that there are many people who would never consider suicide, but I would rather die than suffer intolerable conditions.

What about all the people who would give anything to have the choice whether to live or die, by killing yourself, you are insulting every person who ever died ever (who didn't suicide as well)

10 seconds after orgasm, whilst still inside Cat Deeley. ;-|
But if that couldn't be arranged: whilst asleep & dreaming in the land of nod.

I'd like to think that the decision to end my life would be my own, because then I would know that inside, everything would be as good as I wanted/needed it to be. I'd hate to be thrown off a building by someone else, could you imagine the thoughts going through your head? Good God, the terror as you realise you never said that something to your special person, or that you never said goodbye, or that you left the kettle on...
