I really think we need to offer more humane ways for people to check out when they have had enough of this life.

Yes. And we should encourage them. Maybe offer a small payment to their charity of choice or family member. Way too many people are on this planet and we need volunteers to leave!

To be fair, I think it is a little tougher to have the things you listed while you are locked inside a jail cell. I have a lot of understanding for people dealing with mental issues and I think we should offer them help if they want to pursue that. I also find it terribly barbaric how we force people to off themselves in the most gruesome ways because we have no humane ways for people to check out. Suicide doesn’t have to be a bad or sad subject. Sometimes it is a very legitimate option and actually alleviates suffering. And while I would much prefer people cut down on their breeding habits rather than taking already existing lives, the fact remains that this planet is terribly over populated.

Wouldn’t have guessed sober after reading that sentence. Haha. In all seriousness though I wish everyone the best of luck when they are trying to better themselves. I personally think realizing you need to change is the hardest part of the process. Some of the saddest cases I witness are people with horrible life problems, but they can’t even fathom that they need to do anything different.

There`s a good possibility this had nothing to do with suicide. The most likely explanation is he`s a pervert and he did this for sexual gratification Please look up “autoerotic asphyxiation”. It`s pretty common for them to overdo it and strangle themselves. They`re known coloquailly as “gaspers”. Big city cops all know about them. They can be very ingenious in their activities.

Now that you`ve read this and know about this kind of perversion, don`t you wish you hadn`t?

The myth of overpopulation is based on telling a BIG lie and keep repeating it.

18 + years sober. My worst drinking days were in Humboldt. Took me 12 years (3 failed trys on my own) to finally walk into an AA meeting. Best thing i ever did for myself. Life is great. Just don’t ask me to dance or play pool. hahahaha. Even my dad’s death didn’t “make” me drink. He was sober from 70 until he died at 89 years old. Best wishes to you.
