You have been labeled a security risk by the conquering army and have been imprisoned.
The next morning you and a few dozen of your neighbors and friends are taken out to a wall and lined up, and a line of soldiers raise their rifles. You know you're about to die.

Question: Do you cry like a little girl? Or do you hold your head high and go out with.... what's that word I'm trying to think of here?.... um..... oh yeah, DIGNITY?


Think about it.

And while you're at it think about the millions of people in history who faced that exact situation. Some were asked to renounce their faith, some were simply shot with no other options presented to them.

Again, dignity in death has nothing to do with pissing or shitting.

Fact is there are people who have jobs to clean that shit up. Who are we to begrudge them a paycheque? :D
