I don't have a statistic or anything, but the only suicide methods I know are the obvious ones like shooting yourself in the head or jumping of a cliff/building or slitting your arm... Unless you have a gun, those really seem to be quite painful...

The only painless way I think of is taking drugs, but what kind? I doubt too much aspirin would kill you. And of course there is no guarantee that whatever drug you take won't hurt like hell.


So, is there really a painless way? If it's by drugs, then what kind of drugs? Ones available in a supermarket or by prescription?


Discuss.

 

[Star Power]

Uh... nevermind. I wouldn't want to give you any ideas.

[Jak140]

Why do you care if it hurts? You're gonna die anyway. Just go the quick and dirty route: shotgun to the head.

 

[alejob]

How about drowning yourself? Would that hurt?

 

[Star Power]

How about drowning yourself? Would that hurt?

Yes.

 

[Ecrofirt]

get a charcoal grill, and start it up. Once you're down to the red coals, bring it into your living room. Down some alcohol, and fall asleep.

 

[Ecrofirt]

from what I understand, drowning is a particular scary way to die.

exactly, if you're man enough to off yourself, DO IT LIKE A MAN...cut your gut open and remove your internal organs till you drop.

 

[Ill Saint]

Hey Chrono. I know. I caught the pre-edit in that other thread.

Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't do it.

 

[Boomer]

Too much aspirin will kill you, but it will hurt.

Idle car + closed garage = eternal sleep.

That's how my cousin and aunt (different sides of the family, unrelated) did it.

Carbon Monoxide is your friend.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Jumping off a building shouldn't hurt, if it is tall enough you won't get the chance to feel anything.

You better not be thinking about anything...

 

[PS2 KID]

Strap yourself with a few pounds of plastic explosives and visit Osama bin Laden. Give him a hug and blow yourself up. No pain and you actually accomplished something with your suicide.

Effective and I'd imagine it's entirely painless. Plus, there's always the chance that you'll change your mind at the last minute, get hit by a car while backing out and win a million dollar lawsuit.

demon, don't jump to conclusions

But yeah from what I know, CO poisoning just makes you really sleepy until you don't wake up. Definitely leaves a perfect corpse for the funeral compared to other methods, which is always a plus.

 

[Ghost]

dont do this people, we dont need the "Gaming forum gives suidicidal teens tips on killing themselves" headlines.

Seriously, dont do it, you wont earn any respect, everyone will hate you for being such a coward.

 

[Chrono]

Nah I was just looking for something like mac's link.

I was just bored and thinking of what to eat actually.

 

[demon]

Yeah dude, don't know it. If you want to talk about it......I'm sure someone here would love to help you out.

 

[Chrono]

No offense but I don't think taking your own life makes you a coward. Like I said I'm not doing anything but I don't think anybody who commits suicide is a coward. The cowards are the people who have no idea what they're talking about and judge people because of what TEH L0RD tells them or whatever.

True. I've never known how to express it but I believe people who commit suicide have a sort of strength that others lack.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Aspirin overdoses can kill. It just wouldn't be certain, so a crap way.

Unless you like gambling.

A simple barbecue grill and a bag of charcoal. Light the coals outside amd let them burn down till they're gray. Place the grill in a room without windows, drink a bottle of Nyquil or sleeping pills, and go to sleep, never to wake up…

The gas from the coals will displace the air in the room with carbon monoxide. It was in the news last week of somebody doing this to keep warm, and they were found dead. Try it out.

found at the informative link posted before.

The alcohol will stop your fingers from tingling, which causes a lot of people to wake up when trying to kill themselves with monoxide poisoning.

It just makes you insane is all.

 

[Jim Bowie]

I'd like to modify Grizzlyjin's method. If I were to off myself, I'd first get lit on PCP or coke. Then I'd jump off of a bridge. That way, you DEFINITELY don't feel anything.

I seriously hope you're not considering suicide.

 

[BlackMage]

This thread depresses me.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

death by vagina

 

[Boogie9IGN]

 

[way more]

My only argument against suicide is that life gets better, life is good. My argument depends on the simple belief that some parts of life are enjoyable. Some people have never had a moment of security or comfort, so how do you convince them life is worth living when their future is a crank addict with no job and no one to who gives a shit once you die.. I could go on and I don't don't feel comfortable convincing someone that it's a notion worth considering. But I figure if you're really going to off yourself, and I mean an actual wacking and not some cry for attention, you're not going to care about how it feels.

 

[Syckx]

Jumping off a building is more painful than some might think. Very few of the people who jump die from the impact; rather, they die from a heart attack on the way down. I would imagine that a heart attack is plenty painful, too.

somehow i doubt people who want to die that badly really care about respect

 

[doncale]

"Seriously, dont do it, you wont earn any respect, everyone will hate you for being such a coward."

and you've just earned yourself

 

[Kon Tiki]

I think the easiet way it to love yourself too much. Give it a try.

One of my friends commited suicide and I'll have eternal respect for him. The only thing I hate is that he didn't leave a suicide note. That is an irresponsible thing to do, since your friends and family start blaming themselves for what happened.

And this guy was not a coward. In fact he was one of the bravest people I knew.

 

[Jak140]

The majority of people who commit suicide are cowardly and selfish. It's a lot harder to live a life that is difficult than it is to kill yourself. If your commit suicide, you're just running away from your problems, rather than facing them. And it's even worse when you have people that care about you and you kill yourself anyway, because they are left blaming themselves for what you did. If there are people in your life who love you, you don't have the right to remove yourself without explaination from their lives.

I smell a christian. Hey Jak, I don't mean any disrespect but that is heavy in moral authority, and as we all know pride goes before destruction. Your last point was true, and you were correct. If people love you you should not kill yourself, but what about those that have nobody that loves them?

Erm.. I'm about as far from being Christian as you can get without fucking goats.

And if no one loves them, maybe they should try getting help, I certainly don't know as it depends on the situation. That's why I said that the majority of people who commit suicide are cowards or selfish. I'm not going to judge any single person's actions without knowing the whole story.

[Jak140]

ok

Yeah. I realize that it sounds contradictory, but it's not. I won't label any single person a coward or selfish for committing suicide unless I know why they did it. But, from my experience, the majority of people who do commit suicide have done so for reasons that I would consider cowardly or selfish.

You're talking bollocks. I agree with Jak entirely, and I'm as anti-Chrsitian as you can get (I'm atheist, but despise Christianity's teachings in particular, probably just because I actually know something about them unlike other religions).

If you have no one who loves you, here's what you do: fight to change it. If you've tried that and suck, ask for help in changing it.

There are certain times where I can understand suicide. Let's say a guy loses his wife and kids in a fire, obviously his grief is immense, he throws himself off a bridge. Now he could have rebuilt his life, not fully, never fully, but eventually if he met the right people and had the right support he might find that life is worth living, but I still understand it when the grief is so immense AND there seems to be no one to live for. Another way I can understand it is if you ARE going to die painfully from a terminal illness, and you know it's going to be soon...yeah, that one's definitely ok to my mind.

There may be other situations where I can accept it which I'm not thinking of, but for these general ones...fight on. In the general situation most people mean when they talk of suicide, it's running away, plain and simple.

First off you've said you can understand suicide. You say to fight for love that you've never recieved, what about those who don't know love? Those who've only felt pain and misery can't comprehend love. That man had a wife and a child once, what about the tweaker loser who's lost controll of their own genitals and can never reproduce?

Animals will never kill themselves. The fact that humans will take thier own life means has some nobility and prestige behind it. I never would, I'd die a tweaker with seven syringes in my arm with bastard children, leaving a family in shame before I'd kill myself. Where's is the nobilty in that?

As far as I'm concerned your life belongs to you and you can do anything you want with it. Sorry but he's not selfish the one who suicides, selfish are the people who demand from him to live even if he doesn't want to. And it takes A LOT of guts to do something like this, instead of living a life you hate. I don't encourage suicide but I totally respect anyone's opinion to do whatever he wants with his life.

 

[Jak140]

Are you out of your fucking gourd? I've never seen a gorrilla stick a banana up it's ass, but that doesn't mean it's noble because only humans do it.

I never would, I'd die a tweaker with seven syringes in my arm with bastard children, leaving a family in shame before I'd kill myself. Where's is the nobilty in that?

How about where's the nobility in becoming a goddamn heron addict in the first place? Where's the nobility in banging out twenty illegitimate children? I'd never consider someone like that noble for taking his life. If he were noble, he'd take some fucking resposibility for what he did and try to support the children.

If you make emotional ties in your life such as having a wife, friends, or family, then your life no longer belongs to just you. You allowed those other people to become a part of your life, so you should respect that they have a stake in your life as well. If you kill yourself, then yes, you are being selfish, because you aren't considereing the effect it will have on them. And how does it take more guts to kill yourself than it does to live a life you hate? Living a life that is full of hardship and uncertainty takes a hell of a lot more courage than downing a bottle of sleeping pills.

 

[DSN2K]

they are spineless cowards if you ask me.....

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

People who kill themselves are either nuts, or selfish inconsiderate assholes. Think about it, chances are there people who like/love you and will mourn you. You also leave a fucking mess to the person closest to you, arrangement for funeral, cleaning up all your shit. Your paper work, selling your shit etc. Cowards? No, but selfish assholes, yup.

Heh you make it sound so easy to take the sleeping pills knowing you'll die. And as far as you don't have a family to support you owe nothing to noone. Sure you'll make them unhappy but it's plain stupid doing something you hate just to satisfy the others. Again, life belongs to you and noone else.
