How would you rather die?

[MORBIDYAM]

Here is a question, since people today are so afraid of nukes, and nations acquiring nuclear weapons lets get some perspective on what people think is a better way to die

[Azog 150]

Going down fighting and not cowering helplessly as a horrific weapon comes over head to decimate you, your family, your friends, you home, your city etc.

[Space Wolves]

Nuke, anyhting biological etc is just going to be a painfully horrible death


at least with a nuke as long as your in the blast radius that is, it will be a quick death. Granted though, if you somehow survive it, or your not near the blast radius, you will be affected by radiation, which is a tad bit painful, though much better being nuked.

[El Brujo]

Any other way is a better way, since posterity can't survive in a place that has been irradiated by a nuke.

A comet instantly obliterating all life.

I would like to be able to watch it. In just a blink of the eye..gone.

Everything mankind has created. Everything we've done. Every philosophy, idea, invention. Every moment of history, every act of heroism or terrorism. Every life and every memory. Everything.

Gone in an instant.

How poetic.

Long and drawn out conventional war probably. I might be dead, but there would at least be a winner, and survivors, in a conflict like that.

The impact may take out a majority of life, but it would probably be the debris in the atmosphere blocking the sun that would eventually take everyone out.

[Space Wolves]

yep, if you wanna freeze to death with the sun blotted out, and space dust, and whatever composistion was in that comet.


at least new life will start anew within a few hundrerd million? billion years

You had to ruin my moment

what if you go down from someone raping your wife or child then shooting you in the head in the chaos of war, I'd much rather be nuked and not even feel it. You don't have to cower, its not like it would help against a nuke anyway, you could just stand there and shake your fists at it and feel brave

[GVP]

What a lovely thread
I'd rather die in conflict cuz if you die fighting you're a hero and if you die in nuke explosion you're a victim.

But in a conventional war there is at least some hope of you surviving or winning- but with a nuke you are all dead, even if you survive, you would be in a nuclear wasteland and would probably succumb to radiation poisoning and die slowly and horribly. Plus, you can't really feel brave against a nuke.

in a long drawn out conflict where i can take as many of the enemy with me while listening to the 'requiem to a dream" song from the lord of the rings soundtrack.!!!!!!!!!!!! and in slow-mo

[Scipio Africanus]

I chose dying in a long drawn out conflict.

The reason being, I see perceptions of nuclear explosions on television where people are just sitting, waiting to die as the nuclear warheads go off all around them. I would much rather die facing my enemy and be granted the opportunity to do my best to take down as many of them as I can before they take me down. There's nothing glorious about it, but it's a principal of fact that true patriots, if they believe in their Country, will die for it rather then let it be taken over. That's my view of it anyways. If my Country required me and other citizens to take up arms and defend our country against any and all enemies, I would do so without a minute's thought. (In the event we're ever invaded like Russia invaded Georgia for a recent example, regardless if I end up a statistic, I will feel proud dying for my Country in the face of tyranny).

[Moosferatu]

Er, peacefully? In my sleep?

Well out of the poll options I'd rather get shot. In the head or heart. Quick and easy.

DLETE

[Scar Face]

Long drawn out conflict. If I die or not, at least me and my peoples fought for something, and weren't simply obliterated in a cataclysmic event.

[Smasher]

In a long drawn out conflict that ravages the nation because its something you yourself can personally influence the outcome of. + you can take out as many of the other bastards as you can, then die. Its glorious.

[DimondLight]

If I HAD to die, I'd take the nuke. If there wasn't a nuke coming down on my head I'd fight to the death, but either way it would suck.

[BoJaN]

Nukes won't kill everyone, and who's left suffer from radiation and illness for years.
