I find a hard time finding much of anything to joke about it. Its tragic and really is only newsworthy because of the gruesome way he went about it.

A neighbor of mine... not someone close to me but someone I knew took a dive off of a tall bridge last month and his family indeed the whole neighborhood is still in shock.

Pity the family that discovered him.

This is another argument on why handguns should be legal.



This is not a one-line post, but probably should be.

I agree that its not worth hacking ones head off. But considering that the cost of rent these days is often more then a payment on a modest house I can see the grief. My brother pays more then twice in rent then we do in house payments.

We knew this kind of thing would happen. People today are just insanely tied to their car, house or TV. Just the thought of losing any of it and they go crazy.

We'll see a lot of suicide in the next 5 years as the depression hits. Much more than in the 30s... because now, most of us are in our world of illusions.

Not promoting suicide but would it not be better to die of carbon monoxide poisoning in your garage with your car running. Would take less effort to actually set this up and you just fall asleep. No pain, no mess for whoever finds you. Even if you feel nothing after a few seconds, like one of the posters above...that's a very painful few seconds! Ouch!

My husband became very ill and was in a lot of pain. He committed suicide. My landlords reaction? He was worried that he couldn't rent the house again because of the death-disclosure laws in that state. You have to tell the next tenant or owner that there was a death in the house. Maybe the banks should think about that before forclosing on someones home!

Holy cow. That is dedication to the cause.

Anyone who manages to actually behead themselves gets my 'nutter of the week' award...

Props to that dude...he's freakin hard core!

See...I'm more of an extrovert...i'm way more likely to kill someone else than to do myself in, but damn. That's probly the most bad ass way to kill yourself that i've ever heard.

People are disrespecting this guy and talking about him in various negative ways and many show no sympathy.

But the reality is

At least this guy did make a statement

The rest of us work 30 years, sit at jobs very often we don't like deprive ourselves of family and loved ones, allow our kids to grow up brainwashed and not influenced by us but rather strangers on a daily basis.

And in the end

All just to pay for a Home, we could build in 1 year with our own hands if we were allowed to!

It's not a very difficult thing, but if we choose to we have to be a licensed contractor or your sinking your money and if your not or don't pay one off, your home will never be approved, if your smart you can go that route still, but it's not made easy by any stretch of the imagination.

The housing market which we are told is sinking, is really not even close to being what it's actual value should be...

250 G, 500 G, 1 Million

For, a foundation, chicken wire, wood, drywall, some siding, plumbing and wires?

30 years of your life... for what, we used to build when this country was settled with an axe and basic tools

and i hate to say it... those Homes Victorian era particularly Were BETTER, larger, cooler, more attractive, more spacious

and often built... by ONE GUY

it's obscene

what we go through to simply have a home...

The American Dream... to own a home

a simple thing, so easy to do...

Made into an impossible nightmare for so many.

For no reason but greed.

It's not that I'm disrespecting the man, I'm just impressed at the sheer Saw-esque nature of the incident. To be able to chainsaw one's own head off is honestly quite an achievement - if I tried it, I'd undoubtably mess it up and just horribly maim myself.
