[net.suicide] Silent Suicides

blk (01/24/83)

Why are so many of the discussed methods of the quiet, formal school?
In my mind, the only good points of the toilet bowl/light socket technique
are convenience and pathos.  Let me say this about that.  We only die once,
what's a little inconvenience?  Unless one wants to get revenge (or just
make someone feel bad), what good is the pathos?
I consider it humiliating to be discovered sprawled on my back with one foot
in the john!  And after all, if I don't care about the drama of it all, I'll
go to sleep with some gas on.  Painless and dull.

I have always wanted to jump off a tall building.  Especially with a crowd of
people down below (some of whom will yell "Jump!", you can be sure).  And
talk about making a splash in the big city!  Probably get in the papers, too!

This may be in poor taste, but has anyone out there ever considered the
growing expertise of political terrorist/suicides?  Notice how many get on
network news for up to 48 hrs only to end up the only casualty?
