Suppose someone kills himself on his birthday, would that be better for his/her parents/friends/etc. since they will have less days to remeber that person?

You can tell I am having a weird convo with my mate here

this is... nonsense.. and thus it is being moved there

The only way it's better is if you make it look like an accident... preferably an accident where his/her parents/friends/etc can make a lot of money off of a lawsuit.


But this is all very hypothetical so don't ever try suicide and SAY NO TO DRUGS.

You need:

* Fishing line
* Bungee cord (more than the line)
* Krazy Glue
* Party hat/blower.

First, get up on a tall building with all this stuff. Loop the line around our neck and make sure it's secure on the top of the building and around your neck. Loop the bungee cord around your ankles in the same way. Glue the party hat to your head and the blower into your mouth (this is the tricky part). Finally, glue both hands to the sides of your head. Jump!

What Happens: Before the bungee runs out, the fishing line pulls taut, slicing off your head. You end up hanging from the side of a building, carryng your head in your hands with a party hat on and best of all, dead. With careful measuring you can get it to end outside a specific window, which would be cool.

I simply do not understand the point of having such a conversation. I do understand that odd and strange topics come up all of the time for people. But, to even entertain the idea of when a "better" time is to commit suicide just doesn't sit well with me.
Perhaps losing my brother and two nephews to suicide, I am a little off tilt in these discussions. I do have a strong opinon, but that is not for here.
But, I must say that to be born and to die on the same date would be rather convenient.

Well I wanted to die since I was 12, it's not really nonsence to me, I just don't want my folks to be really gutted...

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realise and I can see

That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
the losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
it doesn't hurt when it begins
but as it works its way on in
the pain grows stronger...
watch it grin

Suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

Suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

And you can do the same thing if you please

prince_albert,
Your folks are going to be really gutted...period. Don't fool yourself into believing there is ANY way to ease the pain or the blow or the effect. I certainly don't take this as nonsence and I don't feel this thread should be here. I would however like to share some of my thoughts and things I have written on this topic. I would like to take it away from the board though. So if you care to have some direct conversation about how you feel and the effects of choices made and an ear to bend, PM me...I'll be there.

Sounds like a cry for help.

Have you ever thought about killing yourself with drugs and/or alcohol? It worked for a few of my friends in the early 90's... Parents were devistated nonetheless.

If I were you I would really think about why you want to kill yourself and then go talk to one of those professional type psychologists about it. My friends with the drug and alcohol suicides really didn't have your perspective.

mirevolver

First of all, suicide is a permanent solution to a temperoary problem.

Secondly, suicide may fix your problems, but it will cause problems to those who love you and care about you. A cousin of mine killed himself on his daughter's 16th birthday. And although that was two years ago, I find myself treading on very thin ice when I discuss either her father or her birthday with her. I have to be very careful about what I send her for her birthday because she associates her birthday with her father's death. And every year when she celebrates her birthday, it's also the aniversary of her father's suicide, and she has to live with that the rest of her life.

this is not a whimsical, funny nor nonsensical thread by any means.

my sister-in-law shot herself in the head & left behind 4 very devastated teenage children.

mirereolver: ack! that poor child. hopefully the day was just a mere coincidence & not something the father actually meant to torture that child with forever on after.

No, it wasn't an intentional suicide. He just had a few drinks and then took some sleeping pills when he went to bed. The reaction between the alcohol and sleeping pills killed him.

Everything needs to be joked about at some time or other.

But I agree with your other points, the suicide jokes posted so far aren't that funny. C'mon guys, we can do better!

I don't know guys. I've considered suicide. I've absolutely come to the conclusion that if anybody has the right to take my life... it's me. -Don't worry chitlins, I won't do it; but ultimately I think everyone goes through periods where they think about the ultimate.

Since this is the Nonsense thread. Perhaps we should suggest ways to go where you get to choose your own demise.

I mean come on. There are ways to go and ways to go:

MSD

If you think there's a way to soften the blow to your family and friends, think again. I'm not a very emotionally expressive person, I don't break down easily, but I lost a friend of mine over a year ago and I still can't help crying when I think about it.

Jadey

This is a horrible thing to discuss, and even though I have been through periods in the past when I have briefly considered the idea of suicide, it was never really a serious consideration. I've had a cousin that I was very close to overdose on sleeping pills and I had a really good freind shoot himself when he came home from college for a weekend. And even though I had briefly entertained the thought myself, I still cannot understand why someone would actually go through with it. My cousin had some emotional problems that she in therapy for, but my friend was a total shock. I still see his mom on occasion and it is very hard to talk to her, as I'm sure it is very diffcult for her since she is probably reminded of her son everytime she sees me.

bernadette

yeah, it is "a horrible thing to discuss." there's not a shred of funny about this thread & i don't understand at all why this is stuck in the nonsense forum.

my sister-in-law was successful? with her suicide, but it hits even closer to home yet for me... both my mother & brother have both attempted suicide, but thankfully their attempts failed. and yes, they're both doing much much better today.

it is not an amusing nonsense subject.
