Poll #53: To be, or not to be?

[Andy]

It's about time this question got answered. :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_be,_or_not_to_be

[Starry]

...this question is about suicide. I would hope that we don't have too many "not to be"s out there.

...this question is about suicide. I would hope that we don't have too many "not to be"s out there.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them.

That would depend on interpretation. Suicide is not necessarily implied, right?

[Starry]

He's debating whether to suffer through watching his evil usurping uncle take over the kingdom and sleep with his mother or to just give on and kill himself.

His answer is "To be," by the way, due to being too afraid of going to hell to actually do it. This is one of the simplest soliloquies in the play.

[Carraka]

Rally to not to be!

[kitkat]

Wow im lost! Omelet who said that?

[Andy]

Wow im lost! Omelet who said that?
Not Omlet.....Hamlet. :D You've got your eggs and pigs/hamsters mixed up.

[kitkat]

No wounder im failing drama

[jordanisonfire]

To be. Suiciders are whiners, that's my motto.

XD

[Rouge]

Hamlet was such a good play. ^^ I discovered I liked Shakespeare this summer. xD

[Shaun]

To be!

Suiciders aren't just whiners, Shadow, they're quitters. And we don't like quitters around these parts!

[appleofmyeye]

In the Wild West?

Not to be, everyone dies in the end anyway :P.

Oh, and I mean in the play, not life. Though everyone does die O_o.

[Lykaios]

To be. It means I don't have to write and extra word and it also sounds better than not being something when you could be. That's my interpretation. :D

[blue phoenix]

To be!!!!! I wanna live!!:P

[Simmi]

Suicide is just running away from what you can't handle. Sorry to anyone who had friends who commited suicide don't wanna offend. I chose To Be although I had to keep re-reading the question cause I just watched an episode of House that was titled 'TB or not TB' lol what a coindence.

[Starry]

"To be or not to be" has been parodied so many times it's painful, so it's really not that much of a coincidence. Try being in an International Baccalaureate Programme. If I hear "IB or not IB" one more time I am going to explode.

[jordanisonfire]

To be!

Suiciders aren't just whiners, Shadow, they're quitters. And we don't like quitters around these parts!

Exactly, they whine about life, so they quit it. Simple. XP

[littledreamer!]

If i had a choice, neither...i'd be where ever vampires are!

[appleofmyeye]

Killed it.

I'd love that episode of House. And the one with the baby epidemic!

[Simmi]

I killed it? Whoops... :blush: I've seen almost every episode of House M.D. *looks at clock* OH MOTHER OF MERCY I'M MISSING AN EPPIE RIGHT NOW! *goes off into HouseLand*

[AgniR]

ending my life..........would not that be a sin and also and act of COWARDICE....no way i am gonna live and face everything and i am prepared for damn anything

[Eliza:)]

Wow... Twenty-five percent of people want to commit suicide? That's just sad.

[jordanisonfire]

Meh, I think everyone has suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. I know I have. But usually it goes away after about a day.

[Carraka]

No, 25% of the people don't take the poll seriously and think that it's fun to vote against the norm.

[Bowie20049]

I'd rather to be than not to be thank you very much

[Eliza:)]

No, 25% of the people don't take the poll seriously and think that it's fun to vote against the norm.

That's probably true.

[Phantom]

"TB or not TB" was the name of the House episode with the baby epidemic? That was a good episode.
/end spam
I chose to be because if you kill yourself you go to hell. I really would rather go to heaven.
Suicide... I would never have the guts to do it.

[voila.itz.moi]

it ALWAYS should b to be. itz best to strive for what you can be rather than avoid what u don't want to b

[JaceMT]

I choose "to be", What purpose the universe has for my being is yet undiscovered, but while i'm stuck here I may as well choose to be, because if I don't have a choice anyway...(i've attempted suicide)...perhaps, as some lyricist, whose name escapes me, said "it's not having what we want, it's wanting what we've got."


SO if i've no choice, I can at least convince part of myself that I DO want TO BE!

[trinity]

That Shakespeare was one sick guy , the answer is definitely to be. If that guy had a death wish he didn't have to take it out on the characters in his plays,Romeo and Juliet shouldn't have died.

[Rose]

I SIMPLY WANT "TO BE"...
-THE WORLD'S RULER:cool:
-A FAMOUS WRITER AND ARTIST:)
-HEADING TOWARDS THE KITCHEN TO EAT...I AM SERIOUSLY HUNGRY:D :P

[Klon.]

I was hoping "That is the question" Would be a choice.

[FayGee]

To be. We all have a mission in life, and who knows if we've done it?

[Clawfire]

Bo Te

[bookworm]

To be. Whatever the rest of the world does in the background.

[lalodragon]

I think I'll be.
I agree with Klon., though.
