Hypothetically if you were stuck in a room with no way out.

What would you do?

In this room there is no food or water. There is nothing but a bed.

Would you just wait till you die of dehydration or would you kill with a faster way?

I would lie down on the bed for a moment and wonder what the heck caused you to come up with such a scenario.

Once I've exhausted very potential way of trying to get out I'd probably just lay on the bed and wait for death. It would be a bittersweet feeling knowing I'm about to enter heaven, but also a feeling of fear as it's still really an unknown real that I would really not know what to expect from.

Suppose if you wanted to KO yourself you could try to dive into the floor from the bed and break your neck. But if you manage to break your neck and not die then you're going to be in for a rough time. I personally would not try it, but suppose it's an option.

That is too risky.

I would masturbate while looking through the window into my captors eyes while I finished.

When I was but a wee lad I, because I liked her, grabbed a neighbor girl's doll from her little hands and threw it in the open basement of a nearby house that was under construction. She of course instantly started screeching in despair so, in a panic, I jumped down into the basement and threw the doll back out so she would shut up. The immediate problem was easily solved but I soon recognized a new, even greater problem that was surely going to lead to my death.

The stairs that one would expect leading out of a basement had not yet been constructed. I was trapped!

After taking a moment to come to grips with the fact that women are cold-hearted creatures that will abandon you in a pit to die a lonely death if you mess with their toys I began to devise a plan to escape, win back the affection of fatty whats-her-name, and hopefully still make it home before the street lights came on.

Standing in the dwindling light I found that I had only a small stack of unused concrete blocks available to work with. Yes! I had years of experience constructing castles and bridges out of wooden blocks so I immediately decided to build some stairs with the concrete blocks and simply walk out of the basement as if it were always part of the plan. The blocks were heavy, but with determination I was able fashion a sort of stair/ladder hybrid up to as high as I could reach. I shimmied my way up the unstable pile of blocks, perched atop on my tippi toes, and reached high into the cool night air to grasp the freedom that awaited me on the top edge of the foundation wall.

Fuck! I couldn't reach. Exhausted and near death I tearfully slid back down the coarse stack of blocks to lay down and die. Laying there I found myself reminiscing over all of the amazing things that I had experienced in my short but full life. Flammable liquids, my dog Herman, macaroni and cheese, my bike... I don't know how long I had laid there waiting to die, probably several minutes, but the thought of my bike being forever in the hands of my dickhead brother snapped me back to life. I wasn't going to go out like this.

With a renewed energy I made several attempts to build my freedom tower just a little bit higher with the blocks from the stack. I tried jumping, I tried throwing, I tried with one arm, but failed each time.

For whatever reason, probably guided by the Holy Spirit, I saw a previously ignored half-block off in the distance next to a small mound of sand. That block is half the weight! That instant realization is all it took save myself from yet another impossible situation. I was easily able to embiggen my tower with this smaller block, climb to the top, grab the edge of the wall and pull myself out of my prison.

The point is that there is always a way out.

I tend to be pretty fucking ingenious about breaking shit...I'm sure I could dismantle the bed and use the parts to knock a hole in the wall...or the floor...or the roof.

I made a grappling hook from a pair of commercial kitchen pot hangers...and a rope out of twine from potato sacks one time when I was in jail. They held my weight easily. I never actually used them to escape...but I could have at least gotten to the roof from the exercise yard. Sue me...I was bored.

Just think...YOU could be one of the 72 virgins waiting for a good Muslim boy... :p

What's on the bed... sheets, mattress, anything? What color are the walls and how is the room lit, drywall or block walls? Any electrical outlets or one-way glass?

If the construction of said room is air tight and not very big, you either find a way out or you won't live long enough to die from dehydration.

If there is a bed, then that means your captors would most likely at least feed you something and water at a minimum. If you were there to die, you wouldn't have a bed.

We ARE talking about your plans to kidnap someone right?

Is this hypothetical room some sort of allusion to a country that gets taken over by socialists? If so, you might want to alter the imagery slightly, by placing say a dozen of them in that room. I'd like to see them try to vote themselves more free stuff while being trapped in that room. I bet all the mindless harping over that orange guy would stop right quick too.
