My bizarre revelation: I want an agonizing death!

    Wierd stuff comes to mind every now and then. Here's the latest: I want to die in serious hardcore pain. Everyone always goes on about how they want to die in their sleep and whatnot, but isn;t that kind of lame? I mean, if dying is the last thing you're going to do, wouldn't you at least want to be aware that it's happening?
    Seriously, how cool would it be to et to say to yourself "so, this is what it feels like to be on fire, or eaten by a shark, or cut in half". Slipping out peacefully is for the unadventurous.

    One thing though: I'd like to condition all the above by saying that dying painfully is cool once it doesn't take too long. A slow, painful death wouldn't be fun at all.

    Controversial. Anyone who has had a close relation die from cancer etc won't be too impressed, each to their own though.:confused:

    That is completely irrelevant to this thread, why even bring it up ? If some people had their way, we would all dress in white, head to toe and communicate with hand signals for fear of 'offending' someone.

    I did and the topic is hilarious. Never understood people getting upset over something they cant change.

    If anything I want to be that guy that sets off a nuke when the automatic trigger fails averting global catastrophie.

    "Switch is fried, I've gotta set it off manually"
    "Pete this is insane, you'll die"
    "Jenkins, tell my kids... I love em"
    Silence, dramatic hand on shoulder part

    BOOM

    I remember reading once about someone who was in a car accident - their car went through a barrier and off a cliff and they were mangled in the wreckage in a forest for about a week.

    They had a cassette single of george michael 'careless whisper' in the cars tape player (this was in the 80's).

    It was set to auto-flip sides so that when one side of the cassette completed it started playing the otherside. Same song both sides. Thats about a week of 'careless whisper' on the car radio with broken legs and mangled to bits so I would be careful what you wish for.

    That is both horrible and the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. :D

    OP, why die in a lot of pain? You won't have time to think, "Cool, this is what it feels like", you'll be screaming in agony, and if you do get a chance to think, you'll be thinking something along the lines of "I wish I wasn't in such pain".

    Layke's Hollywood style of going out is pretty cool though. But I'd prefer if it was one of those Hollywood style deaths where it turns out I survived all along. I get kudos for sacrificing myself, but also get to enjoy the glory of being a hero :D

    Imagine how much better the kudos would be if the death you accepted involved a large volume of pain though. T'would be awesome.

    Ok ok,
    Heres one for you. Go down to your nearest steel mill. Un-zip your trousers and put your cock in a vice & TURN. NOW THAT WOULD BE PAIN.

    There'd be no kudos, and after it was all over, all concerned would be glad that the screaming, moaning and whingeing had finished. Then they would all go down the pub and forget all about the "that noisy fecker on his deathbed".

    Fact is, shock will probably relieve you of the pain in a quick death. What you need is to live, now that can be realy painful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭jezza


    Personally, I want to end my own life. On my terms. **** illness. I understand that people are fighting to stay alive and fight illness, and I respect. But I don't think thats for everyone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    hmm... I'm not a fan of death... or its surroundings.
    I'd rather die straight out - not lingering. heck just put me down when I'm old and annoying.
    Once I'm dead - burn me... cuz if I wasn't dead before - I'd def be dead after


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 505 ✭✭✭briantwin


    Well iim sure other circumstances would come into effect as well though i'm sure. Like for instance ,who witnesses your demise? Family, friend or foe? Also is this one of those, "the lads are never gonna believe what just happened me!!" sort of macho things. I get that you only get to die once,unless you're an English prison guard with a canoe and a gaff in South America, but doesn't it negate the whole death thing by having a particualr wish for what way to go. i mean its one thing to want to experience something for the first time like being on fire or whatever. I think that if you died under bizarre circumstances it would be a lot me gracious and leave a bit of a legacy. Guy dies in unfortunate tiddley winks accident, or man found flattened by Giant Manatee (or Mary Harney) outside St.Stephens Green park. I just think , wanting pain is a bit vague.

    I vote for the Bill Hicks option. If I'm terminally ill, I want to be used as a stunt double in some insanely dangerous movie stunts. If I die, no loss and it'll be caught on camera AND it'll be cool!

    OP, you should book a holiday in the deepest darkest jungles of Africa. From what I hear, Ebola should give you everything you desire.

    I am particularly entertained by the fact that apprently when you do finally die, you spasm and convulse so violently, you spray blood and liquidised innards over anyone unlucky enough to be near you, thus spreading the delightful disease to others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    Em... ive always thought that i would die painfully because if i became aware of my death, if it was not an accident or an assault i would attempt to take down as many people as i could with me (only people who are a drain on our recources, im sure that i personly could not kill them all considering there is probbley between a billion of them so i would expect myself to either be shot of beaten to death during the course of my capmaign.)

    You know what, I feel exactly the same way Wacker. I've often thought what it would be like to be immolated. I mean the pain would be extraordinary and it wouldn't be too long a death provided the fire was hot enough. I'd leave the coolest corpse ever, none of that open-casket **** for me. Also it's well known that people burned to death in fire come back as stronger ghosts/zombies/undead abominations than those who die of a regular death. Fire ftw.









    Yeah ok I'm weird.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 337 ✭✭'Ol Jack Chance


    id go for the hollywood style...get absolutley riddled with bullets by henchmen working for Mr. Big. Then as they gloat over my "corpse" as i pull my trusty bowie knife from my pocket and shazam! blade to the heart! :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭beautiation


    Yeah pain ftw! I've thought this too! Definitely! The intensity of a painful death is the kind of demise most likely to induce the experience of life flashing before the eyes/epiphanic realisations on the meaning of life etc. as well.

    I'd like to go as the dedicated zoo janitor blocking the path of an escaping tiger pen.

    Or maybe being attacked by an endless stream of demonic 5 year olds, each gradually sapping my strength as I kill them. Knowing there's no end, that my strength will give out and I'll be overwhelmed eventually, but driven right to the end of endurance before I let go to the sweet rest of death. Awesome.

    THere is something sickly sincere about this. It makes my anus want to weep with fear! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput


    while its not the same as extreme pain dieing there is a video on youtube of a guy hitting the ground after his parachute didnt open. he survived.

    there is an interview with him after he recovered and he said he always said to his friends he would want a quick death go out with a bang etc etc but 100ft from the ground as he waved goodbye to the camera(he really did ill try and find the vid) he said he was thinking hed trade dieing then for 20 years of cancer any day.

    my point is you have no idea what your talking about until its about to happen

    I suspect many of you extolling the novelty of dying in pain have little experience of pain. Or death.

    Or perhaps it's a new nihilistic outlook, in which case it's more interesting than simple immaturity! :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Beelzebub


    Even if I was certain that it wasn't the end, that I was going to a better place - I think I'd rather die peacefully(if there is such a thing)just not knowing about it - if I had a choice.

    Though I really must agree with Woody Allen when he said:

    "It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

    You'd be surprised. I've been to my fair share of funerals, I can assure you. Including immediate family.
    Regarding pain, I'm in the happy situation of never experiencing chronic pain (i.e. pain that wouldn't abate). The closest I've ever come to that is the fairly vicipous migraines I used to get when I was a teenager, and they were fairly puny in hindsight.

    It isn't really nihilism that drives this perverse desire of mine, rather curiosity.

    Frankly, **** pain, I want to go out in pleasure. I want to be knobbing a pretty girl with a bacon double cheeseburger in one hand and an extra large dairy milk in the other, listening to "gimme shelter" by the rolling stones.

    Then, when I'm almost finished, I'll get her to shoot an extra large dose of morphine into my neck.

    Sweeet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    If I were to die it would most definately involve something to do with me saving all life in the universe, I'm just that nice of a guy. But then it would turn out that I didn't die and I'd return 30 years later is some spin-off called Real-Life X that gets cancelled 5 episodes in.

    I can't die though as I can't comprehend it. And if I can't comprehend something, it doesn't exist.

    Now you're talking Fremen. Far better way to go altogether! Massive heart attack right after you've just shot your load in some sexy girl for the 5th time that day.

    Fcuk this pain business. Seems to be a few masochists knocking around here! Curious about immolation?!! Bloody hell, I'd say a few seconds of being on fire would change the feeling from curiosity to something a whole lot less fun.

    I'd like to be aware of my death, but not in pain. The pretty girl and the bacon double cheeseburger sounds good to me.

    Some of you should be careful what you wish for!

    From that I get the very distinct impression that you probably bawl crying when you cut your finger on a piece of paper and start sobbing after you get hit with the first punch in a fight. Tell me I'm wrong.

    I think dying in quick sand, would be quite adventurous... why dont you try that..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,521 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    This question has some philosophical elements to do. I think it doesn't matter if you die in agony or not, the pain is irrelevant. If your a firm believer in an afterlife the pain you went through would be forgotton such is the fantasticness of the afterlife. You might not even be able to reimagine the agony.

    If your an atheist then pain is still not an issue as on your moment of death after the agony you cease to exist. If you don't exist then what is pain? Nothing since you are nothing. You won't remember it because you are erased. In fact the whole notion of remembrance is useless to one who is now blank. So who cares?

    What I'm suggesting is maybe if you watched someone actually die in pain, that would change your opinion on experiencing that yourself. As regards some of the deaths here, the body would go into shock and numbness (thankfully), so there would be little to gain from the experience....

    As regards to the philosophical arguments regarding belief of afterlife, I think it's more the philosophical reasoning of experience/reality itself. Does pain that has happened in the past really matter or exist? Pain is transient, once it has alleviated, it ceases to exist in a way. The only moment that is real to us, is the present moment we are experiencing. I would rather not have that last present moment spent in pain.

    anyway,
    two chicks go into sunbeds, which end up catching fire, and the top of the beds end up shut locked, but that looked like an absolutely agonizingily painful and long death.

    give me the shark option any day.
