Man Commits Suicide Over Election.

[The Mad Monk]

Do you understand how pissed at this I am?

You lose an election, you dust yourself off and set up for the next one, because here THERE IS always a next one. THIS is not worth killing yourself over. EVERYONE who commits suicide has a reason, and HELL YES not every reason is worthwhile. Damn straight I'm going to diss what he did. Should people kill themselves over losing a job, Ted? How about losing a child? Or a God Damn football bet? They do, but that doesn't mean we should stand there and condone it just because they are sad enough to off themselves over it.

It's just an election, get over it!

It's not your place to judge this man as to what is and is not acceptable.

These Buddhist monks also had other alternatives, yet you condone their actions as being okay. Are they cowards also?

Start asking yourself why this man felt so strongly, as there are many others out there who feel just as despondant as he did. Never before have I ever witnessed people who are just outight upset about what happened, and if you think it's just about a damn election, you need to wake the hell up.

In any case, his message got though, whether you like it or not.

And by the way I don't agree with what he did, but at the very least we should listen to what he had to say.

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, HE LEFT NO NOTE.

Please, Ted, expain exactly what that message was, besides "WAH! MY GUY LOST!"

He killled himself at Ground Zero. He travelled all the way from Georiga.


You make the connection.

We already got 20 threads about that already.


It's not about Kerry losing.

It's about the things this country is doing.

[The Mad Monk]

WE have twenty, because WE have enough common sense to talk this out.

What did HE say, Ted?

It depends.

I tend to agree with Ted that this man Veal was trying to make a statement. Why he didn't leave a note is somewhat of a mystery.

Most suicides are impulsive, people get the idea and act on it rapidly. Those who think about it through will drop the idea. Yet Veal is different. He had time to think about it, so it was not an impulsive act.

There are nut balls who kill themselves because their favorite football team doesn't make it into the play offs. Shake the tree and nuts fall out.

Ah, a 2004 Darwin Award candidate!

Feel sorry for his family, though.

Nah, he'd be candidate only if he'd tried to clean his teeth with the barrel of a gun, and accidentially shoot himself.

There was a guy on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, who had an idea for the US gov, conserning suicide car bombers and utilising them. A hotline, phone number.

"Help me, my life is a pure agony! I have nothing to live for!"
"Calm down, take a deep breath, and tell me, do you know how to switch gears with manual?"

If I receive a draft notice in the next four years, I won't have any options left...

Except telling them you're gay...

And Ted...

I know converts are the most extreme in their views, but you're just embarassing yourself now.

It's funny how the elction has driven more than a few people here stupid.

[GePap]

MOst people who commit suicide over external events like an election, or a team losing obviously were facing deep psychological problems beforehand.

HOw exactly did this guy get into ground zero anyways? I guess now that it is a construction site its is not too hard to do....

[Drake Tungsten]

The people who were stupid before the election don't seem to have gotten any smarter, either...
