False:
Discutir por favor.The idea that more people kill themselves around the winter holidays is a myth that the media have little interest in correcting, according to a study from the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.In an analysis of newspaper articles about suicide between Thanksgiving and Christmas in 1999. researchers found nearly half of them associated suicide with the winter holidays, despite receiving press releases warning journalists that such associations don't seem to be warranted. Suicides drop during the winter months, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, and they usually peak during the spring months. Researchers caution that the flurry of articles on holiday suicides could actually inspire "copycat" suicides. Exposure to suicide methods may encourage vulnerable individuals to imitate them, the study warns.

Man thats terrible, my thoughts go to his family & friends.
Wow! I have to admit, my first thought was "I wonder how long he had to lay there before a train came?" Like, did he look up schedules and stuff so that he wouldn't be laying there all day? becuase i'm pretty sure after a few hours i would probably chicken out and just go home. And also, it cant be comfortable laying across the railroad ties. They would dig into your back.
Sorry to sound insensitive, but, goddam.
yes, there have to be better ways to do this. I would jump from the top of a building or something.
Can I start a "How would you commit suicide" thread?
Nah, if you choose the correct building, there's no way you can survive. I would end up as flat as a record.
"Finally, a home accessory for the sidewalk-pizza hound -- a set of 4 coasters made out of original sidewalk-pizza's mounted on heavy rubber -- as functional as they are groovy!
I wouldn't recomend pills & Booze, its hard to get the dosage right and if you fuck it up(easily done) you can suffer a long lingering and painfull death from liver/kidney failure.
Anyway I always get kinda depressed, but it's more winter and the cold and being stuck indoors all the time. The holidays are actually fun, it's the 2-3 months of bleak nothingness that follows that's the worst.

Also: could you please carry out your choice without traumatizing any of the people working on public transport? Heard some horrible stories...
or...I would ask her to sit on my face til I run out of air. Sweet death.
Even Better!!
The reason why I brought up the whole 'pills and booze' way of committing suicide was that I was thinking about a comedy special Damon Wayans did about 15 years ago. He said something to the effect of how fucked up it would be to commit suicide by jumping off of a building and surviving.
But If I wanted to off myself, JLR has the best solution, evar!
i thought the best one would be the hose from the tailpipe to the cab of your car. probably just drift off to sleep.
not to say it wouldn't be traumatic for your family if they discovered you in your car dead, it would be a lot less traumatic than say plugging yourself with a gun.
That's a surefire way to do it. That's how my dad did it. I don't think I could do it that way though cause I think it would smell terrible.
This is an awful thread.
apparently he was suffering from depression..
on the last day of school before the holiday, we presented a x-mas card to him, and he was close to tears saying that in the 20-odd years he teached, he never received something like this...
You don't lay there all day. You sit on an overpass getting trashed and then when you see the train coming, then you lay down.
Besides, it really depends on what line you're on. Some have many trains a day, so you probably wouldn't have to wait for "hours".
