I worked for a long time in an industry that brought me in contact with people who'd attempted suicide and fucked it up. I worked with more than one person who had attempted to shoot themselves and had, instead, ended up with horribly mangled faces that they then had to live with. I worked with one kid who'd basically destroyed their digestive system because they'd attempted to off themselves with Drano on several occasions and had to eat through a tube for pretty much ever. I worked with another kid who had to live with a tracheostomy after a failed hanging had ruined their trachea.

This stuff alone had led me to the conclusion that there are just no guarantees that you're gonna succeed. And if you live through it, there's a pretty good chance you're going to fuck yourself up in the process.

Reading today's news, I saw that a guy in California caused the worst train wreck in our country in five years or so. This dipshit parked his SUV on the tracks, after stabbing himself and slashing his wrists, because he was suicidal. Then, as the train approached, he changed his mind and jumped out. Ten people died and about a hundred and eighty were injured in the resulting collision.

This adds credence to my position that suicide is the stupidest fucking thing you can attempt.

It seems that Doctor Dipshit was going through a nasty divorce and wanted to kill himself to strike out at his now ex-wife. Bravo, idiot. Now she's certain to see what a wonderful guy you are and come running back! Mission accomplished!

My wife was reading up on this last night and found out that the building this butt-juggler owned and destroyed had landmark status, meaning that it had some historic or architectural significance, which is now lost to the city forever because this whiny little ass-pimple couldn't cope. Dude, you're a millionaire doctor living on the Upper East Side in a townhouse that you fucking own. Try being a crackhead, then tell me you've got it bad.

For the millionth time: suicide is fucking stupid. Unless you're terminal and in unbearable pain every day; unless you are being held for years without trial and tortured regularly by a fascist administration; unless you are trapped in a marriage to Tom Cruise, there is not valid excuse for it. So suck it up and deal.
