Director Tony Scott's Suicide

[envy_me]

Two things strike me about these figures.

1) Am I the only person who didn't realize until now that men commit suicide so much more than women?

2) I'm guessing Greece has moved in position over the last couple of years...

Look at Norway, at least we're better then them in something :D

I am not suprised about men vs women statistics. I don't think men have it easy.

Its well documented on the net , am not really the gory story type .Its a very painful way to do it , a lot of people do it then regret it and then it's two late they have did to much damage to vital organs.

Who would rely on a simple paracetamol to take their life, you need horse-benzo or something.

When we're on suicide, there was one guy here that did it online, hang himself. There are videos of that on internet. Just a few years ago. I saw it, and I regret it.

I know these are stereotypes and cliches but it's really funny how the most excitable melodramatic nationalities that seem to always be waving their arms about like Greeks, Italians and Mexicans never actually get around to killing themselves whereas the stoic repressed Japanese, Scandinavians and Swiss don't make a fuss they just get on with it...

The Swiss it's between cuckoo clocks and assisted suicide for their biggest industry..... That's a joke

Yeah, stereotypes but I believe the sun has a lot to do with it. People are happier and more tempered in the hot countries. More hormones and life. It's the same with everything. Even plants. Have you seen a tomato from Greece? Compare it to a tomato from Scandinavia. Same with people. We have had ONE day without rain this summer, who wouldn't wanna kill themselves?
Tomato-suicide makes me wanna do a ketchup joke, but I won't...

Cam down, bro!

I was merely implying that you're not exactly the type of person that splits atoms on your days off.

No need to act like such a hard-on.

He's a little thin-skinned at times.



But he's harmless.

You're a woman, you know that?

I think she noticed by now, or maybe she hopes that your clitoris is just a micro-penis.

Suicide is such a selfish act...

Yes, from our perspective. From the suicidal individual's perspective though it is a selfless act.

When depression gets to the point of suicidal ideology, one's cognitive thinking is extremely distorted. Many suicidal people may think that they are a burden on their families and the world in general. They believe that they are doing their families a favour and that everyone's lives will be better without them in the world.

Mental illness is horrible and depression (and suicide) is terribly misunderstood. The more depressive episodes one has, the higher the risk of suicide. When one is clinically depressed, it feels like your brain is in a heavy black fog, and the brain doesn't work very well. It's a horrid thing to have to deal with, believe me, I've battled chronic depression for most of my life.

They commit suicide more, but there are still more women that attempt suicide. Women usually aren't successful because they choose less violent and "cleaner" means...mainly pills and alcohol, which is very rarely successful because your body will try to reject the toxins, and as a result you puke it all out. Men choose messier methods such as jumping, hanging, and suicide by car.

A girl I went to school with tried carbon monoxide poisoning, plugged the tail pipe and sat in the car with the windows up. She is brain damaged and has NO short term memory, whatsoever. Very sad...
