But it takes a lot of courage to go against all natural human instincts in my opinion. I think there are a number of people who botched the job and who reported that their last conscious thought was, "Ah, this was really a stupid idea." I think declining religion plays a part in the increase, partly because people don't have a moral imperative against it and partly because previous suicides might have been reported as accidents.

I kinda wish I was dead after something that happened today but I don't have the balls to off myself, no matter how tough life gets.
I don't get why people say it's a weak thing to do. Selfish maybe. But it takes a lot of courage to go against all natural human instincts in my opinion. I agree with that. I've thought about it semi-seriously a few times. Once I started to buy a gun, once I tried cutting my wrists, but I don't have the guts. Suicide is not cowardly. Its usually wrong, but not cowardly. Things always seem to get better later, so I'm glad I didn't do it. Whenever I have thought about it, I have decided that there are alternatives. I could just disappear instead. That wouldn't be worse than death, and it would be possible to improve the situation.

Euthanasia for humans. I'm all about that. We can take our pets to be put down to stop . suffering. Why can't we do it to people? Some states have a program but only a few. Instead oncologists give false hope to people string them along, decrease their quality of life, and when there's nothing else they can do, they send you to hospice. Also, if someone genuinely wants to die, let them. It sucks for everyone else, but if someone is suffering in their mind day in and day out only they know what is best. If a gun I'd going to be involved do it outside so there isn't a big mess. When I first heard that word I thought it meant” youth in Asia” Chinese kids. Today evidently need kids need safe spaces even in colleges. A bunch of weak willed pussies. Life is not always easy. The idea is you push yourselves to improve your position. Then when and if you get there should should end up lucky and a lot happier then you were.

Saying Suicide is selfish amd cowardly is kind of ignorant. Can you imagine how low a person must be in order to contemplate taking their life? They are obviously not thinking rationally. Everyone always says never to make important decsions when you are depressed or traumatized and for good reason. I cant even imagine the low one must feel to actually follow through with suicide. I think some people feel as if they never fit in and are just living life on the outside and watching the rest of the world on the inside. Very sad, especially when kids do it. I knew a guy through marriage who shot himself. He said he had nothing else to live for. He had lost his job and wife, so that and im sure some other things. I also think some people are much more predisposed to depression, especially deep depression.

80% of suicides are committed by men. 70% of drug overdoses are men. Men comprise the bulk of homelessness, workplace accidents, and prison sentences. We are reared to be disposable warriors or manual laborers or both. And in a post industrial society soon to be dominated by women, we have no niche. Many of us have no idea what to do. The era of brute force and physical dominance is over, and we can't handle it. https://www.theatlantic.com/.../archive/2010/07/the-end-of-men/308135

Men are adapting though.
This is the era of men plucking their eyebrows, wearing skinny jeans and baby socks, and staring at themselves like Zoolander every time they see their reflection.
Hah! Thank you for that! I am so sick of seeing these little freaks dressing and acting like girls! I apologize in advance to anybody that I am going to offend. I'm not a tough guy at all. I'm sure there are pregnant girls that could beat me up, but I'm not going to ask for it. You said "I'm not saying it as a bad thing". I AM saying it is a bad thing. Its one thing for it to be natural, but its not natural. Fighting against mother nature is a losing battle. I have heard similar sentiments from other people. We don't have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger (I had to look up the spelling) but there is no good reason to act like a girl.

Didn't Hillary lose the election precisely because her indifference towards the average American who wasn't rich was so transparent? What's more is the democratic party abandoned apallachia (sp)sp and the midwest. The unions in that midwestern/southern section used to be a automatic democrat vote. They voted for obama... Twice... Those days are probably over. And drugs are destroying the area quickly. Doesn't matter because the left will import its new base from the rest of the world. Who cares about a bunch of dead guyys who used to be part of the formerr)) most productive manufacturing and agricultural center of the world. Not trying to sound like a john cougar mellencamp song but i guess i just did. The author of Hillbilly Elegy, named J. d. vance wrote about this and basically predicted trumps victory, based on this forgotten corner of the countey. CNN sure as fuck isn't gonna report it.

If you're a white person who isn't rich, the left wing still does more for you than the right wing does. What specifically does the left wing do for poor people that the right wing doesn't do? I'm not (yet) disagreeing, but I would like to know exactly what you're referring to.
