Re: [TW]: Cracked.com's "Ten-Minute Suicide Guide"

Huh.

I'd complain that the author doesn't understand statistics, but I'm not convinced he understands anything else, either.

Like, for example, that many people contemplating suicide are not exactly doing it in a rational, logical frame of mind. That telling people how common suicide methods fail isn't going to deter anyone motivated, it'll just make them more precise. That analogy to murder is only one of the reasons suicide is considered a sin, and several of the others are more... esoteric. That it's extremely stupid to try to describe the experience after life if there is no afterlife, because hello, there is no experience, that's the point. Sheesh.

And the whole poop thing was just STUPID.

Apparently from what other people are saying, sometimes it successfully deters people from committing suicide.

That's the important part, so... criticism mostly withdrawn.

When I'm starting to get suicidal, I can actually feel myself losing my grip on logic, and one of the ways I bring myself back is to think about how it would go realistically. I know myself and I know if I attempted, it would just be a painful mess that left me worse off than I was before. I'm sure thinking about the afterlife works for other people, and still others might be thinking about how they'll be known after their death, and don't want it to be something gross.
