# suffocating by water (or any means) takes time
during which you are keenly aware of your experience

edit: someone once said, "When you can't breathe, nothing else matters."

allow me to punch that face, please?

# be my guest!
out of interest, would you prefer drowning or freezing to death?

# actually I can answer that one
freezing. I nearly froze once, and after an initial period of agony, all of a sudden I began to feel warm all over, and quite comfy. I felt like lying down for a nap, but I had heard about this experience and still had enough wits to know that would have been fatal.

# yeah, that's what i've heard too.
i don't think I've ever had a near death experience.
Apart from a pretty savage motorbike accident, which whilst I could've been killed, I wouldn't say that was near death

edit - i have heard that with drowning, once you get over the initial panic of drowning and accept it it is a peaceful experience.
I seriously doubt it, but anyway

# was in a head-on auto collision as a boy
knocked unconscious, but have no recollection of the actual impact--just remember the car beginning to swerve out of control. I'd say any kind of "preferred" manner of dying should be one that imparts immediate unconsciousness, and hopefully one that you have no chance to anticipate or ponder.

# on the drowning thing--
it may be true about the calm that comes later--but "getting there" would surely have to be agonizing and fear-instilling. With the freezing thing, I was never in a panic, just a lot of discomfort.
