    Radiation poisoning because I could choose to kill myself. If that's against the spirit of the question then I think it's still radiation poisoning. Slower, but I believe less gruesome, though I've never died from it or suffered from it. I would have more time to say goodbye to my friends and family as well.

    Kombucha or Coconut oil, as a miracle cure all.

    Coconut oil because: 1) it smells like the beach when I was 16 (or was that cocobutter?) and 2) I don't have the slightest idea what kombucha is. Is it coconut oil?

    The beach when you were 16 or the woods when you were 10?

    Get with the times.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha

    Anyway woods for sure. My grandparents lived off the grid on Lasqueti island (I grew up on Vancouver island, if you know anything about that area) and it's still my favourite place. I've ever exactly had a 'beach bod' either, or really liked parties/fun in general.

    Staying up all night or just getting 1-3 hours of sleep?

    Yeah, I was just in Olympic National Park in May. Gorgeous.

    Yeah yeah, poor boy. You are unusually handsome and you know it so stop fishing for compliments.

    And staying up all night. A few hours sleep just make me psychotic.

    Going blind or paralysis from the waist down?

    Well nice of you to say :3

    And ugh, I guess... paralysis. Both are horrible but I can't imagine living without sight, and I think I could get used to paralysis.

    Dodging the draft (and going to jail) of a war you consider either unnecessary or unjust or just fighting in it.

    I'd go blind. There's always audiobooks.

    As for the war, I'd go and you'd stay. But I was never in that position so who knows really? I never volunteered.

    Being burnt alive for a deep personal conviction or accidentally falling into a giant meat grinder?

    Meat grinder for sure. I'm very afraid of pain and I don't care much about people on earth benefiting from my convictions. I wouldn't burn to death for anything I believe under any circumstance if I could help it. I'd keep my mouth shut.

    Edit: Actually I'll amend this. I'd burn to death before murdering a bunch of innocent people or something, but if I'm asked to put my signature on something that I know for sure is untrue, and the punishment for declining is being burnt alive? Yeh I'm signing whatever it is.

    Same question.

    If it was for my wife (that is, in her place) I'd burn. Otherwise I'd refuse to sign and take the Roman way out. Nobody's burning me if I have a choice.

    Reincarnation or oblivion?

    Ah it's hard to say, and I don't want to bind myself to one or the other by answering you in this thread. Right now I'm leaning towards oblivion but who knows how I'll feel later in life.

    If Brexit happens will the EU survive or fall apart completely, and quite quickly?

    No, I meant which would you want-- to return to a world of much pain and some joy (like ours) or just to be done? Can you answer that one?

    If Britain goes, the Fourth Reich will fall in about a year.

    We donīt know, so better not worry to much about it. As we say here: Regard as mended what canīt be mended anymore.
    Letīs turn the question arround: Wonīt EU survive Brexit, if it happens,simply because it must?

    Well that's what I meant! Right now I think I'm leaning towards just being done, but I have a lot of life to live so my views might change. Okay but my final answer is reincarnation because, even though I'm leaning towards oblivion right now, I'm still young and will probably change my mind.

    Would you rather be the greatest writer of all time, but never remembered or recognized, or the worst hack but famous and wealthy.

    Sounds like obfuscation to me, Danik. Which would you WANT?

    (And was there a this or that in your own question?)

    Well I don't think so. I think it's done even if Britain votes remain today because of France.

    Okay Clopin.

    I don't want to be famous and I only want to be rich enough not to worry about it. So I am forced to fall back on a Danikian neither.

    Oh, um, same question (about fame and wealth).
