hemlock (gas chamber) it is then. When its either 3 weeks of solitude with nothing to eat or instant death, ill take the short route.

banishment. I discovered that talkiing to street people is more interesting than most other types of conversation, and these people have be banished financially and socially, and appreciate the smallest jester, a few quarters, a meal I was taking home as a doggy bag, a few dollars dropped into guitar case. Courtesy and a little extra reach do wonders for people.

I shoose secret option number 3. The guards I bribed earlier rush in, pin you down and I pour the hemlock down your throat. I emigrate and the evidence gets fudged to make it look like I killed you and escaped by myself.

A likely story.

Banishment was Socrates' option, not yours. Starvation or gas chamber: choose.

This doesn't belong in Philosophy.

But I'd complain because I like complaining. It doesn't hurt me and it would make my keepers really annoyed...which they would then probably shoot me...yeah...I would die as I lived. Annoyingly.

:thumbs: It's the Woody Allen way to die! Just be sarcastic and everything works out fine.

Er...ok. I don't see how that question proves anything about whether or not you're despicable.

I don't think I'll play.

We're getting to the philosophical part once I take a poll.

The universe will philosophically unfold in due course.
