Wait it out, the zombies would die one way or another. [http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html]

Sure.

Alright, I'd wait for a while in case an army came to save me or some crap, but, when faced with death for starvation, a bullet to the head is a far better option.

I suppose if I was guarenteed a death (especially a painful one) I might be willing to consider taking my own life. But for as long as I had a fighting chance, or chance of rescue or help, I'd tough it out. Or a reason to fight on hopelessly, such as if there was no hope for me but hope for another, whose fate depended on my doomed efforts. Apply this to any suicide contemplation scenario and my stance won't vary (and yes, i've been there, but as i've just said, I never would have actually done it. Its just not in my nature).

In a zombie apocalypse situation I'd like to jump off of a large building and land on a fat zombie, but I suppose if it's going to have to be your way I'd take myself out with the last round.

Our main instinct is to survive. So you need actual mental problems to fight against the strongest instinct of Animals. So no, I wouldn't I would take a couple of them down with me though.

I'm sorry but I'd rather be included in, "Badass of the Week" someday. So I'd get out of there or die trying.

Pffft.. Kill myself and miss the thrill of running away, screaming and pissing my pants, or creating over-elaborated zombie death traps? No sir, I think I'll fight.

Although, if I had absolutely NOTHING to fight with, I'd probably go for it, puss out, and then get eaten alive.

The odds are irrelevant. There's always the smallest chance of survival and that's worth any amount of pain. Plus it's better to die doing something magnificent then impotently in a box.=D

I could commit suicide.
I could do it right now! Cya in hell suckers! *BANG!*

OT:
Nah, I'd rather face what was coming than kill myself.
Besides, there would still be a small (although less than 1%) chance of survival so maybe it's my lucky night?

Im a fast runner, I don't need to suicide

Im like Mr. Pink from Resevoir Dogs.
wouldnt matter if you are against the running zombie variety from l4d2.

i would probably try to last out for a few days and starve and then if that fails try to go out in a blaze of glory then killing myself afterwards if they bite me

Could you and would you are two very different questions when it comes to suicide.

I could probably kill myself with a gun, although I've got no experience with firearms so I could also fuck it up... but would I? No.

Why would I shoot myself to avoid unnecessary pain, when apparently being shot is very painful?

There's no guarantee that shooting myself would instantly kill me, even if I shot myself in the head, and that gunshot wound would probably lead to a much slower, more painful and unpleasant death than starvation.

No matter how bleak the situation, I wouldn't give up hope for salvation regardless of how unlikely it is, because suicide is a rather rash and permanent decision and if death really is inevitable then I'd like to face and experience what ever is going to kill me, rather than take the cheap way out.

I think if it were in a situation where something was coming to get me then I think I would fight for as long as possible before taking my life.

If it were just an average day and I was having a really bad life then no, even though I've thought about it in the past I have realised that I love who I am so if I killed myself I would ruin that.

I've got my own way of committing suicide; not getting married and not having any children - my genes aren't going to live on, yet I still get an awesome life while I can

If they're the slow zombies I would just outrun them like the zombie survival guide said to.

In that situation I probably would attempt to ride it out but ultimately kill myself.
In normal everyday situations, Ive contemplated it but feel like I have something to live for still

well im not going to kill myself right there. first i will grab blunt objects to smack zombies down with, thene i will open the door and smack them as they come in, if any get to close i will shoot them in the head. i will make sure to have 1 bullet left if they all grab me so i can off myself.....but the odds of that with this stratagy are slim so I will be fine.

I'd grab my shotgun and become Contun: Bane of Zombies; Savior of Mankind.

Seriously, Zombies are slow, and according to the Cracked article mentioned by a fellow member of the escapist [http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html], chances are actually in my favor this time around.

I don't think I can ever turn the gun to myself. I'd probably end up getting killed in my sleep though by the zombies. If all else fails, I'd try and run and gun it.
