bedonde Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 On the news earlier a woman committed suicide by pouring petrol over herself and igniting it IN A PETEROL STATION!!! Apparantley she was suffering from depression,now i can understand someone thinking they cant carry on and taking the easy way out (although it must take guts to do this),i just dont think its right that she should put others at risk and ensure that other people have to witness it. Personally a few beers and a stack of pills and somewhere i have a connection with would be my choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBiz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Is it possible do you think, that someone who is in a mental state to self emoliate isn't thinking rationally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Hughes Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I don't get why people say suicide is the cowards way out. Surely people who commit suicide feel there is absolutely no other option so in that case it isn't a choice and therefore can't be cowardly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tablets etc are often a cry for help, or in some cases, for attention, but a extreme act where there is no coming back from -that shows they didn't mean to survive... Poor soul!
