    Excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea what you mean.

    I get the time reference (it was the current time when you posted).

    i don't think the exhaust pipe thing works anymore

    although i read once that diesel fumes were cancerous, so you would die eventually


    is the exam one an urban legend

    Oh I get it now. So this will be locked will it? Let's make it last.

    Y'see this is the trouble with After Hours, polls were banned as they were being used as a "laugh" in threads just like this one so what happens...?

    No. You simply cannot judge what you might do in a situation in which you may feel that this was your only solution. Aside from that, its utterly tasteless. And if it was a serious thread, why oh why would options such as "Exam Technique" be included. HEll, why would there be a poll at all.

    Utter crap post.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 719 ✭✭✭CrimE

    hmm i actually thought this was one of the better topics on the Boards
    i picked exhaust in the car but i'd prolly do an OD ..its easier

    "No. You simply cannot judge what you might do in a situation in which you may feel that this was your only solution"

    so?.. thats what imagination and creativity is for and

    rereading your post.. you need to chill

    Sorry but if you are talking to me I stand by what I said. If this was a serious thread without a poll including stupid options I might consider it to be a relevant thread but seriously making light of suicide in a society where there is an epidemic of suicides at the moment is ignornace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭StonedParadoX


    how is it ignorance???. .its by far unignornant (sp i know unignorant isnt a word but find a better word? )

    Ah suicide has been around for years. It's still interesting to see what people would do. Says something about them. Here's the link http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=127

    Please tell me you can see the fact that making light of an insanely serious and growing problem like suicide is ignorant. If you can't well that just says more about you then anything else.

    A lot of you are taking this far too seriously. People who are offended by this are over-sensitive. It's only a bit o' craic. I'm not saying suicide is to be taken lightly, but why wallow in sorrow and scorn? If it were me, I think I'd leap off a tall building. Get that last rush before kicking the bucket. Of course, we're being hypothetical.

    Well I was using Liffey as an example. I don't actually live there so...
    gross

    but it could get you out of a sticky situation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,105 ✭✭✭larryone


    wow. it's lasted an hour and a half...

    I dont think suicice related humour is that bad a thing. But this thread isnt funny, nor does it seem to serve any purpose. OP : should have read the charter for this forum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭StonedParadoX


    maaaaaan .. i never thought of jumping off a high building man
    wow ..the whole rush thing

    i should try that lol

    i remember a dream i used to have when i was young i was in my grannies house in belgium and i'd jump off the stairs and i'd land at the bottom intact with nothing broken and while i jumped i got that rush u get when your on a roller coaster or when your high and that head rush spreads through out your body

    anyone ever did that?.. u know when u go over a bridge your stomach gets the funnies? well ..apply that but to much intenser(sp)

    anyhoo back to topic

    but hey dude if your so touchy about suicide and the growing bull**** what about assisted suicide and abortion

    thats bring in 2 other different topics "touchy" too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,105 ✭✭✭larryone

    But you could have a heart attack on the way down...
    I've heard somewhere that most/many people that fall from heights do - so if you are falling try to relax and, chill and land on your left side so your heart is cushioned.

    There was an article in the Irish Times many years ago in the times past column that I have not found since. About a century ago a guy decided to top himself by hanging on Sackville Bridge (O'Connell bridge) so ties the rope round his neck and takes a swig of posion and jumps. As he is dangling from the rope he pulls out a gun and shot himself in the head. But he missed and shot the rope and fell into the river. Swallowed some of the Liffey and got vomited. He survived.

    No I can't find the article, nor can I remember when it was printed. . . .

    I usually support any borderline banage thread, free speech and all that. That and the banned ones are usually the most intersting.

    But this is pointless, not very funny. It also makes light of serious topics posted in the PI thread and would undermine its credibility. Sorry.

    Apology accepted and all.

    I can see where y'all are coming from but I still think you're taking it too seriously. I'm sorry if I caused any offence but I think it's kind of a mountain of a molehill and all that. I know suicide is a big deal, etc, etc, but it wasn't really about people committing suicide, but how you do it, not why or if.

    I would jump off a motorway bridge at oncoming traffic(traffic preferably being a large juggernaugt).

    Not nice, what if the the drivers has a heart attack or the truck swerves and kill some innocents ?

    Far too many people are killed by selfish suicides. There is a woman in the US up on charges over this - she survived but killed those in the car she rear ended. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3989277.stm

    another 6 killed as a result of a possible suidice
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3989277.stm

    can't find the link to that French guy who decided to gas himself and changed his mind and went out. A gas explosion in the block of flats killed several people later on because he didn't turn off the gas.
