Depression and flying

Suicidal people should not use the following methods to kill
themselves... because it injures other people or destroys
property... and it is bad publicity and leads to bad laws...
crashing airplanes and helicopters
shooting yourself
stabbing yourself
crashing your car
jumping off of buildings can hurt people on the ground
poison

I suggest that a 20 foot steel cable, such as used with
garage doors and available at all home centers, placed
around the neck is quick, probably painless and 100%
effective if you jump from a 40 foot bridge. If you do it
over a river at full flood, there won't even be a funeral
and the cable won't even be seen for about 6 years since
your head and body will NOT be hanging there to draw
attention.

Anybody want to take bets that the guy was an Italian with
German ancestors, with troubles from his girlfriend because
she meet somebody else on the Internet?

That sounds like a subject for Jerry Springer.

A bit macabre, but it wouldn't need to be at full flood - a 20 foot drop
using steel cable will probably cause decapitation, so all that'll be
left will be some steel wire and the head/body washed downstream.

One is conscious for several seconds after decapitation.

How do you know? Is there any tests that have been done to
verify consciousness after decapatitation, perhaps the Nazi
doctors had some Jews wired up before the final solution or
maybe the current Nazi descendents, the Islamic terrorists
kept good records. But their latest "tests" involved slow
throat, muscle and finally spinal cord cutting, so that pain
would be maximized. But a quick snapping of the spinal cord
as the head and body are jerked apart would be quick. A few
beers or a Valium would probably handle that (just a guess).

Interesting, but a clean cut well below the head by a
guillotine does not damage the brain. And as all pilots
should know from their training in hypoxia, the brain has
about a 10-15 second supply of oxygenated blood between the
heart and brain [time of useful consciousness]. But with
the head jerked off the spine, the brain stem is damaged,
the brain itself is ripped in a manner to cause a hemorrhage
and damage to the brain. Personally, I want to die from
being ravaged by a dozen or so teenage girls when I'm much
older than I am now. I hope my brain stays conscious to the
end.

The Nazi's killed more than just Jews! The Jews just keep whining about it.

Jews, gypsies, Hungarians, Russians, American prisoners
during the Battle of the Bulge, the Nazi was an evil *******
who followed Hitler. Actually the Jews seem to have handled
it pretty well with the phrase, Never Again.

Why, there is a comment, from a fine, outstanding person, handled with his
usual maturity and tact.

Why do you hang out in a place, populated mainly by adults, NW? Grow up,
then come back!

You disgust me, on every level, with this newest comment.
