What about robot-dancing (or something) in the last defiant moments of life?

Run in zig zags and keep jumping and rolling behind cover until you can get your hands on the gunman. Break his/her fingers after wrestling the gun away from them, get your hands around his/her neck and dig your thumbs into their throat till you feel a crunch. Take ammuntition out of the gun, insert the barrel into their dead asshole.

You may be killed attempting it, but at least you'll have gone down fighting. This is a good death. There is no shame in this.

You can't die with dignity, you know.

We dissagree, O-man. I know I can. While the guy would be desperately trying to pick me off to prevent me from breaking his neck, many people would escape. Thus i'd be a hero even if he managed to shoot me. This is a very good death.

Strip naked, get an erection and rub shit all over yourself for a psychological edge while wrestling.  Bum him for bonus points.

Fucking brilliant. More effective if I kept whispering to him that there was no way out of this, and that he was about to be raped, and that I would damage his intestines with my penis.

Sure you can. The meaning can have dignity even if the process is a mess.

I beg to differ. There's no meaning with death. It's just the end.

  But to take out the bad guy on one's way out ...

You can live with dignity but you can't die with it. We'll just have to disagree.

That would be so very dignified.

Of a story. Which has meaning.

Not for you tho.
You'll be gone.
For all you're concerned, everything else is gone too. That's the shit about death. There's no sitting on clouds, watching down on your loved ones.
They are gone.
The world is gone.

Never believed meaning, but purpose, yes. Plus it's only then end for certain things.

  I'm not religious, but lately I've been wishing death might mean
  going back to one's ancestors.  I'd like to meet some more of mine.

if you can't send them ahead, than take them with you.

With age comes experience and wisdom regarding these things.  The kids won't understand until life teaches them otherwise.

The age-argument isn't entirely valid.
Look around
I am sometimes baffled at what senior citizens have managed to miss out on, concerning subjects of common sense. How can someone old be as stupid as many of them are?
How have they managed to survive a whole life, without understanding the world better than what they do?

It's very demoralizing :I

You're talking to somebody who has been preparing for her partner's death since his terminal diagnosis. Shove it so far up your ass you choke on it.
