Suicide

post #1 of 80

Thread Starter 
Have you ever contemplated it ?

How would you do it?

The coolest - and possibly the most painful - is a self-neck break, as practised by the Yakuza guy in 'Showdown in Little Tokyo'.

I'd probably wimp out and go with sleeping pils

Go for it!

No, never contemplated it. But if i was going to, i would jump off an airplane or talles building i can find.
Won't feel a thing and the ride would be awesome.

If I was going to off myself, probably go the route of autoerotic asphyxiation. Might as well go out doing what I do best.

No sleeping pills. I want to take full advantage if that fabled endorphine blast your brain gets when you're on the brink of death.
Tati,
I've read that suicide survivors who jump often say they had an overwhelming urge to live once they stepped off that ledge. So you may want to reconsider. Jumping in front of a train would be pretty spectacular, but I'd feel bad for the driver.

I wanna go pushing a kid out of the way of a car. Of course I'd probly have to push him in the way of the car first.

Still, I'd die a hero.

I wouldn't survive. So fuck it.
I mean, whoever survived meant to survive.
If you ware decided to off yourself, you should know to go high enough.

Failed suicide attempts are just a call for attention. Just didn't put enough effort into it.

Nah, that documentary The Bridge chronicled all these folks who kill themselves by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. A couple people survived, total fluke.

Again, not high enough and possibility to land on water.

And yeah, killed by tits is a great way to die. Just ask Monthy Python.

They all land on water. The impact kills almost of the jumpers. Here's a bunch of clips.

It's pretty goddamn hard to kill someone by breaking their neck. As far as I know, this is a movie myth. If anything you'll end up in the hospital, paralyzed.

I'm thinking driving my car off a cliff. You've got a roller coaster rush from the fall followed by that catastrophic jolt of impact. The split second of audio and visual stimuli from the metal car crumpling around you should be awesome. Plus, if I do it right, my family could still collect the insurance. Everybody wins!

The old Yukio Mishima gag always sounded like fun to me, but I've been intrigued by the idea of wrapping one end of a chain around a light pole and the other around my neck and then stomping on the gas.

My dad spent a lot of time at crime scenes, and he told me that when men kill themselves, they're apt to make a big show out of it - blow their brains all over the carpet and curtains in the living room. The women, he said, often cleaned the house, did the dishes, then stood in the middle of the garage to shoot themselves so as not to make a mess.

Hmmm. I feel kind of womany now. I always knew that if I did it, I'd take a few weeks beforehand to get rid of all my excess junk so there would be less to pack up/get rid of after I was gone. Also, I'd leave a pretty extensive note with bank account numbers, online passwords, outstanding bills, etc., so it would be easy to settle my affairs.

How very thoughtful, I've always wondered, if you have like out standing credit card bills and such and you die, what happens? do they go away or does next of kin get stuck with your terrible spending habits.

Ya know, I'd jump off a bridge myself, but it's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that.

Good call. But, I'd have to go with a pregnant Salma. It's the only way to be sure.


But if I'm really going to kill myself, I'll find some foolhardy film-maker, join his crew, and ship off to some remote savage island where prehistoric beasts managed to side-step extinction. So when I finally get crushed or eaten, I'll atleast know the finished film will be dedicated to me and the proceeds will be donated to my wife and kids. How's that for perfect planning?

No one's considered it here? Weird.

Maybe it's my age, and events of my life, but in the past, I've considered it a lot. Not these days though.

I think your best bet is, shotgun to the head. Fuck sleeping pills and all that, you could accidentally live. If you're going to do it, make sure you do it right.

I would venture to guess that most people have at least considered it at some point (see my preparations above), but it's not exactly the kind of thing you want to draw a lot of attention to.

Isn't failing suicide the biggest failure possible? This isn't like failing as a husband and father by losing your job and getting drunk, beating your wife with an electric griddle, fondling your kids, and falling asleep in a puddle of liquid shit wailing about how you could have been somebody if mommy had only breastfed. This is failing at something even retarded people do well. Every day. By accident. Dying shouldn't be so hard.

I mean, if you can't even kill yourself right, how do you go on living?

With all seriousness, I've had good friends that attempted to commit suicide. And it wasn't that they failed, it was an extreme form of attention getting.

My understanding of where your debt goes if you die is that whomever is in charge of your estate must take care of that debt prior to the estate being divided or absorbed by family members. So if you had $500k in debt and an estate worth $520k your family would be left with a $20k estate. If you had $500k in debt and your estate was only worth $300k, the $300k would be applied to the debt and the family would get nothing, but no doubt would fall on their shoulders.

HOWEVER, a spouse (or anyone who shares a legal responsibility with you) would be a different matter altogether. If you left $500k in debt and a $300k estate, the wife/husband would owe (or at least need to reconcile with the debt collection) for the remaining $200k.

I have a friend who is a wills/estate lawyer so next time I speak with him I'll ask, but I believe this is the ever-simplified general explanation of what happens.

Last year a guy down here walked into a supermarket, went to the butchery section and marched neck-first into a meat-saw, decapitating himself.

That is not the way I would choose to go.

If the butcher was using the saw at the time, that changes from horrific to hilarious.
