How do you want to "go?"

Laughing.

Whether it's death by laughter, or laughing all the way in the face of overwhelming stakes, that's the only way to go, with the sound of my laughter ringing in my ears.

Who knows, maybe my enemies will also die with the sound of my laughter ringing in THEIR ears.

Having given this some thought just now, I think I would want to go when I choose to go, and no sooner. :)

I wouldn't want it to be from a sudden accident, since I'd want to know it was happening and meet it fully conscious.

To be a victim of illness, and have my life robbed from me by the failings of flesh is not appealing either. If that is what is to happen, then I expect I would be upset with my creator at that time for giving me a mortal form. I expect I would spend my last few days feeling much bitterness, and it would be a solemn time for me. I would not make peace.

I'll volunteer, if you don't mind if I finish up after you're done with the heart attack.

As for me, I'd settle for one of two ways - either fighting an overpowering opponent, such as a bear, with my bare hands or at most a small knife, or, if I am diagnosed with some terminal illness, simply wandering off into the wilderness to die alone... possibly by means of option one.

I'd also settle for dying in a sword fight or a nuclear blast.
 
Of course they would. Inertia, sympathetic vibrations, et cetera. Didn't you guys ever read Rendezvous With Rama?
 
How do you want to "go?"

I don't. Seriously, the thought of my consciousness simply flittering into nothingness freaks the shit out of me. I'd love to believe there's more to it than that, but I simply can't resolve that kind of egotism with what seems pretty concretely like nature's way. This is one way in which I admire those of faith. ;)

I never want to die because I cannot conceive of my non-existence and that really bothers me. The fact that I have also been suicidal much of my life creates a kind of cognitive dissonance as well.:confused:

Yeah, exactly, though that's the main reason I know I'd never go through with such ridiculous thoughts.

Now, for a less serious answer, I always thought it would be fun to die by being hit by a bus full of school children. Then I'd really be remembered. :D
