die peacefully or go down fighting?

[Stigmata]

For some reason I just imagined myself dying from police gunshots while I tag up a Scientology church with all sorts of anti-Scientology messages.

It was glorious ;(

 

[ktimekiller]

Die a quiet, neat death with your loved ones by you, or go down fighting like a Spartan in 300? Which one would you choose?

sounds like someone loved the movie 300 a LITTLE too much :dozey:

 

[JNightshade]

I wanna die fast. Whether that entails a quick heart attack with a 25-year-old on my lap, or getting shot in the face in a massive firefight, I'll be happy- it just has to be awesome and painless.

 

[15357]

Do I have to wave this "You're indoctrined" badge at you some more, Numbers?

Nah.


Seriously, I want to die in a flurry of gunfire while defending my country against evil foreign/domestic enemies. I want to be in the frigging ethics textbooks, and I want every 3rd grader to know my name. I want my name carved in the national cemetry's heros archive, I want to have my death be written on national newspapers, I want to have movies made about my death and the battle. And whatnot. If I die in pain, having my guts blown out by heavy machine guns, fine. I'll die knowing that my country won't forget me.


Thats how my mind works. Stupid, perhaps. But...




Yes. Stupid. I realize that, but it doesn't change my mind about serving my country to the death.

 

[Dynasty]

Die a death like in 300. So that people will remember me, as i went down in a blaze of glory dying for something i believed in. etc etc etc corny corny corny lots of women crying.

 

[Sparta]

Yes. Stupid. I realize that, but it doesn't change my mind about serving my country to the death.

I'm totally with you there. I'd fight to the death for Australia and i'm not terribly patriotic as it is.

 

[Solaris]

I wouldn't fight for any country, I'd perhaps fight against a country and I'd fight for Socialism.
Dying isn't appealing, I want to be alive when people sing songs about me

 

[15357]

want to be alive when people sing songs about me

D:


ME TOO!

Hmm, I wonder if I have to fake my death for that to happen?

 

[CptStern]

hey Numbers you're back again from your little stint at the re-education centre

all kidding aside we've missed you around here, it's not often I get to talk to an authoritarian

 

[15357]

Ah, I get on homebound the train every 2 weeks, you see.


I'm trying to spread my authoritarian love in the.... facility, but they won't let us think. :E

The world seems happier, now with girls.

They just make us cram our heads full with calculus, Macro/micro economics, logarithms, and higher degree polynominal equations (ran that through the translator, heh).


But I'm getting ot here. Back to my undying loyalty to the great and most awesome fatherland.


THE SOUTH SHALL RISE AGAIN!

lol back to the programming

 

[Marinmald]

I already know how I am going to die. Someone will say something and make me very angry, I will kill them, I will go to jail, I will kill a few more people just to get my point across, I will be beaten to death.

 

[Iron Kat]

I'll probably die like the guy in Sparta's avatar! I'm always getting pissed off at my computer!!!

 

[15357]

남아의 끓는 피 조국에 바쳐 충성을 다하리라 다짐했노라 눈보라 몰아치는 참호 속에서 한목숨 바칠 것을 다짐했노라 전우여 이제는 승리만이 우리에 사명이요 살길이다

*sings*

"I shall sacrifice my boiling blood to the fatherland, shall complete my loyalty. I have sworn, in the foxholes of winttertime, I have sworn to give this life. My brothers, now only victory shall be our oath, only victory shall be our life~"

"Come High mountain or water, none shall stop our march. In this helmet, march to the ends, with our loyalty, and our back to the fatherland, forward we march with our rifles up and high~"

"In the twilight, we wear our helmets, in the hell of shellfire, do you hear that voice, my brother, that angry voice of the one who gave his life. Do you see that eye, the souless eyes, of our brother dead in the field of war. We shall be one under the torch of anti-communism~"

*end.

I'm beginning to wonder if you're actually for real...especially after reading the V for Vendetta thread...

Or maybe it's just that extremely potent combination of youthful glory-seeking immaturity and radical nationalism.

As for Solaris, stamps his feet about the evils of war and then proudly states he would kill for a totalitarian ideology that has brought nothing but misery to the world. Gotta love it.


P.S. numbers: you've successfully managed to completely put me off ever visiting South Korea. We need a few strategically placed people like you over here - might solve some of our problems. :E

 

[AmishSlayer]

Not of old age. Dying due to complications of age would probably be one of the more painful deaths. If you think about it, the pain in an old-age death is drawn out over years and years (unless you have a heart attack).

Whereas a violent death like getting beaten to death or being shot etc would be a more intense pain, but only for a short time. You don't have to slowly lose control of your body and whither away having old injuries come back to haunt you over your final years. Screw that.

I'll take the "Go down fighting" option any day.
