My friend walked up to me today and asked me if ( hypothetically) I got sentenced to death by the state and had the option to choose my method of execution which would I choose.
I know this sounds morbid and quite frankly it is but if you had to choose which would it be.
I have listed a website with the five most common methods of execution
Yes, but a firing squad could actually hit you with the one bullet and you would not die, so they would have to reload and fire again... I choose lethal injection... You go to sleep and never wake up.
Although, my main goal is to die without ever realizing what is about to happen.

I know medically tho that you feel like your insides burn up and that doesn't sound good

The officer commanding a firing squad has a loaded pistol incase of this, and is required to put one point blank through the heart of any survivor - assuming you use the western method of firing squad
Wether you think you can, or think you can't - you're right

I should qualify that by saying is for a militay firing squad.
I'm not sure if theres a difference for a civilian execution, or if the military would be called in to perform (who makes up the firing squad if not soldiers?). There was a guy in the states who chose the method just to be awkward not too long ago, will have a look.

According to Executions in the U.S. 1608-1987 by M. Watt Espy and John Ortiz Smylka, it is estimated that 142 men have been judicially shot in the United States and English-speaking predecessor territories since 1608, excluding executions related to the American Civil War. The Civil War saw several hundred firing squad deaths, but reliable numbers are not available. Crimes punishable by firing squad in the Civil War included desertion, intentionally killing a superior officer or fellow soldier, and being a spy.
Capital punishment was suspended in the United States between 1967 and 1976 as a result of several decisions of the United States Supreme Court. The process resumed with the execution of Gary Gilmore on January 17, 1977, at Utah State Prison in Draper. The five executioners were equipped with .30-30 caliber rifles and off-the-shelf Winchester 150 grain SilverTip ammunition. The subject was restrained and hooded. The shots were fired at a distance of 20 feet (6 m), aiming at the chest. In his autobiography Shot in the Heart, Mikal Gilmore wrote that when he examined the shirt worn by his brother Gary during the execution, he found five bullet holes, indicating that all members of the squad had been armed with live cartridges and none with a blank round.
The only other post-Furman execution by firing squad (that of John Albert Taylor in 1996) also took place in Utah. Taylor is said to have chosen the firing squad because it would be awkward for state officials.
In Utah, the firing squad (a five-man team) consisted of volunteer police officers from the county in which the conviction of the offender took place. A law passed on March 15, 2004 banned execution by firing squad in Utah, but since that specific law was not retroactive, four inmates on Utah's death row could still have their last requests granted. As of 2006, Idaho and Oklahoma are the only other states in which execution by firing squad is legally available (as backup methods only; both states use lethal injection as their primary methods of execution).

I wonder what happened in that time period to stop it and also what co mensed it again
"Will they give me the chair
Or lethal injection
Or swing from a rope if you dare"

the problem with the rope is if they do it right then your neck snaps and you die instantly but if they do it wrong your neck doesn't snap and you die slowly from choking If I were guaranteed they would do it right I would go with hanging it sounds cool and I would make sure that they don't put a bag on my head so they can see my eyes bulge out...

Heh, true - then again, when it was frst invented the electric chair was touted as being a humane form of execution!
If you could choose anything, either CO2 poisoning (sleepy time) for a peaceful exit, or if you're a prankster, climb out of a tall building, wait for a crowd of morbid sods to gather to watch you jump, then do so.... with a grenade in your mouth *boom* *splat* Shower the grisly bastards with your entrails, go out laughing!
Wether you think you can, or think you can't - you're right
yes lethal hurts much more than you think (but then again, how would we know? )
actually I just thought of the ultimate combination: Novacaine (sp?) and ANYTHING! just numb yourself and nothing would hurt: the chair, the rope, a giant boulder, lethal injection...
If I were guaranteed they would do it right I would go with hanging it sounds cool and I would make sure that they don't put a bag on my head so they can see my eyes bulge out...
