I suspect the Kardashian sisters removed him from the list of eligable suitors. The male population, if the have ever played any sport, knows the down side.

This is the video which makes me cringe.

He showed signs of either nerve reflex action or signs of visceral life for many seconds after the shot was fired.

EDIT: I'll say this about suicides though... killing one's self is an act that requires incredible amounts of cowardice mixed incredible amounts of bravery. just one way of looking at it

That is usually the case from what I have seen.

Its amazing how many head shot cases try to communicate, or move or even have breath sounds for some time after taking a point blank bullet to the head.

though to be honest i couldnt imagine a worse death than decapitation.... they say the brain lives on some conscious level for several seconds after removal from the body, the brain no doubt in the severest state of helpless panic.

I'd say it depends upon the circumstance. There's an interesting book that touches on the subject called "The Lucifer Principle" by Howard Bloom. In it, he touches on the neurobiological reasons for suicide by equating it with cellular apoptosis, which is when a cell destroys itself because it isn't needed. Bloom's theory is that individuals are like cells in a social superorganism, and when they feel cut off or unwanted, they trigger a kind of biological self-destruct mechanism. He makes a convincing case using examples from the Animal Kingdom as well as a number of human case studies, but I'm not decided on the issue just yet.

Personally, I've always considered suicide to be an act of cowardice and waste. I have no problem with people who sacrifice their lives for others, or for a mission, except when they aren't me; that's Marine brainwashing for you. But when someone ends their own life for no purpose, I see it as selfish and, well, cowardly. Even if you have nothing to live for, you should still have the common courtesy use your life for some kind of constructive end. Now that I think about it, maybe that's why so many desperate people turn to charitable church work.

'The Bridge' was a good documentary. It's about the Golden Gate bridge and the large-ish amount of suicides that occur there every year.

Trailer:


EDIT: Whole documentary is on YT, part 1 here: (DISTURBING SCENES, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)


PS. Mods, if you feel this is against the rules feel free to edit my post. I post it as it is an documentary and from my experience, Subsim does allow documentaries to be posted (look the amount of documataries about uboats, tanks and airplanes we got all over the forums).

I don't think too many people commit suicide for "no purpose". Other people may not understand the purpose, agree with the purpose, or even know of the purpose, but the suicide knew the purpose.

Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die as die because they are afraid to live.
