It would very interesting to see how many would choose not to kneel when being escorted to the pyre on which they would be burnt alive.

Eh, that wouldn't be so bad.

I was thinking that it would be more or the lines of being flayed alive for a couple of hours, then having my intestines pulled out of my body and being strangled to death with them.

@OP - You need to watch this really good Russian made movie and decide for yourself. Should he have done like his friend who choose better to fight another day.

This is the Wikipedia page on this movie - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ascent

Of course I would take Jon Snow's advice and allow the army of the north to be used as fodder in a war south of wall. Then after we crush the Boltons and secure the north, we'll turn on Stannis Baratheon and make him pay for putting us in that position in the first place.

All followers of the "Lord of Light" will be fed to the cannibals.

Of course I'd kneel.

I would not kneel. My people would have already devoted their lives to my revolution/cause. I would become a martyr and further the cause.

Somebody needs to have their HBO cut off.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I'd fucking kneel every day. Shit, if some one came up to me and said "If you don't kneel in front of me I'll mildly inconvenience you for like a week" I'd fucking kneel. Life's too short. My people might follow me, they might not, If I'm leading them they probably know what I think about needlessly throwing their lives away to preserve something as cheap as honour.

This is implying that I have the skills necessary to lead a group. Fact is, I'd probably die in battle. So neither kneel or die.

Kneel, and when they let me go, we just restart the uprising. Hell, when they give us guns to fight as front-line infantry, we just use those guns to kill the dictatorship government.

Yeah, and if you refuse to kneel, you and the other high ranking revolutionaries will be executed. The lower ranked ones that will be pardoned will probably too much be scared and watched from now on to ever seriously challenge the government. The "honorable" choice in this situation screws over the Revolution you're trying to lead.

I would kneel, walk out and then when the government arms the revolutionaries with their arms to fight this foreign war I would rise up again - maybe even talk to this foreign leader and wage unified fronted war; after all words are nothing but wind.

Yeah, because they would totally give their enemies the same grade weapons. And the foreign power will obviously be a good force and allow you to create your state. It just doesn't work that easily, because dictators, for the most part, aren't idiots.

They want the army to lead the charge against the foreign enemy, obviously the dictator won't arm them with pitchforks. Its irrelevant what kind of force the foreign power is, there is a common enemy to be fought - we split the spoils of war and sort out disagreements after overthrowing the dictator with second war if that is what it takes. The revolutionaries will be in better place with weapons and boosted moral of victory against the dictator and the country will have one leader to unite forces behind; its not a loose either way.
