The gallows (long-drop hanging) is surprisingly unpopular, as is the electric chair.

I'am the only one to choose hanging. It is completely painless and instantaneous.

The garrot would be excruciating. They strap you to a chair and put a metal or twine rope around your next with a twisty thing on the chair behind your neck. They just keep turning it until your vocal chords are crushed. There's been cases of people eyes popping out, exploding in a bloody mess, veins popping out everywhere...
Ugh that would be HORRIBLE, and slow. Especially with a public crowd laughing and cheering it on.

I think only a sociopath could operate a garrotte. It is such a damn brutal device to use on someone, it's not like you're standing next to an elaborate contraption with a rope to pull, like with the guillotine, but you're actually standing right behind someone who is barely restrained, twisting a stick until his neck cracks. It's particularly brutal to all involved, including the executioner (provided he has feelings)

I applied for a job as an Executioner for the State of Washington... in 1992.
The job payed really good money... and had great benefits.
I was turned down for the job... one of the reasons that I was turned down was... they said that I would enjoy my work too much.

The reason that the job opportunity came up...
Westley Allan Dodd Shipping clerk, Clark County Raped, tortured and killed three boys in the Vancouver-Portland area. Caught after he tried to abduct a boy from a Camas movie theater. Admitted to molesting about 30 children.
At 12:05 a.m. on January 5th, 1993... Dodd was hung. It was the first hanging since 1965.

Do they still hang people in the US? I thought only the chair and the lethal injection were left.

wow 
To stay ontopic, do you think you could garrotte someone, and which of the listed methods would you choose for yourself?

Washington State still had.... hanging and the firing squad at the time of Dodd's execution. I'm not up on what is used today here in Washington State... but I know that methods of execution are different from State to State... here in the United States.
Do I think I could garrotte someone?
Not at this time in my life.
There was a time in my life when I was in the Military that I would have used that form of killing someone.
W_S there is alot about me that you don't probably know.
I have killed 4 people...confirmed kills. Possibly more from shootings...that weren't confirmed. When I was in the Military...in the Special Forces.
I payed dearly for taking those lives. Years of nightmares and counseling to get rid of those images from my head.
I do not believe in taking another human life now... my life has changed drastically over the past 10 to 12 years. That is not saying that I wouldn't kill someone to protect myself or my family. But I have really changed alot... and I am not the same person that I was.
I'm glad that I wasn't hired to be an Executioner for the State of Washington... or I probably wouldn't be the person that I am today.
so...you can now.
lol

That must be quite a burden. I'm glad your conscience took over though, despite how hard it must've been for you.

Definitely 
Truly intense experiences change you for life, and killing is one of the extremes, and that repeatedly.
If I may ask, what was the most powerful negative aftermath of having killed?

things that I usually don't talk to many people about... my spirituality and questioning my own morals.
I believe there is a God... and someday I might have to answer for my actions in this life.
I did seek out some spiritual help from a Minister during those really rough times I had with nightmares... he told me that I didn't take those lives for my own selfish reasons... and that was a huge burden lifed off me. So I guess I'm at peace with things now...so to speak.
and I'll leave it at that!~

Being thrown out of a plane could actually be fun, until you hit the water.

I picked being blown up. One, it would be easy for my family and friends....I dont think it would be as sick as any of the others except lethal injection. Second, the video would be cool as shit!

None I liked, but I chose one to suit. I don't know how I'd want to die, it'd have to be unique.
