<edit>
It is with a heavy heart that I have set my death in motion, but what I am facing is not living. So off I go, I have made peace with God and placed my burden on Jesus and He forgives me. This nation has become evil to the core, with cold-hearted politicians and tycoons squeezing what little Main Street Americans have left. It is not the America into which I was born -- the land of the free and the home of the brave with kind folks who help neighbors -- it is now land of the Tycoon-haves and the rest of us have-nots who march into hopelessness and despair.
Every unemployed person I have met over these past two years have been saintly. Sharing what little they have, and being charitable -- being kind and patient and supportive. Isn't it amazing that we Americans who suffer so much, have not taken to the streets in violence, riots or gotten out the guillotines and marched on tycoons and Washington in revolt as would happen in most other nations? But rather we plead with deaf politicians to please help us. We don't demand huge sums -- just 300 bucks a week, barely enough to cover housing for most. Most of all we say, please help us get a job, please allow us dignity.
I can't help but juxtapose our plight to the tycoons and politicians. They are never satisfied with their enormous wealth, and always want more millions no matter whom it hurts. They STEAL from pension funds, banks, the people and government, and little Wall Street investors. Then rather than face punishment, they become petty kings in this world. They are disloyal to America, unpatriotic, and serve their own foreign UN-American greedy causes and demand more and more and more. I feel that this is not the nation into which I was born. I was born in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. America, where people give as much as they receive. America, where all people work for the common good, and try to leave a better and more prosperous nation for the next generation. America, where people help their neighbors and show charity and mercy. This new America is alien to me -- it is an America of greed and corruption and avarice and mean spirited selfishness and hatred of the common good -- it is an America of savage beasts roaring and tearing at the weak, and bullying the humble and peacemakers and poor and those without means to defend themselves. I am not welcome here anymore. I don't belong here anymore. It's as if some evil beast controls government, the economy, and our lives now.
I must go now, my home is someplace else. Goodbye and God bless you all. God bless the unemployed and poor and elderly and disabled. God bless America and the American people except the tycoons and politicians -- may God retain the sins of tycoons and politicians and phony preachers and send them to the Devil.

You can keep the Haymarket Massacre away from people's minds by deleting it from history books.
But not the live massacres of 2012, etc...

12. We would hear from people like Inhofe that he would be Outraged at any Outrage
America does not hesitate to allow torture so do you really think anyone would even blink at citizens being shot down in the streets. It is just more for them you know...

3. I feel like this is exactly what the GOP wants
They want population control, and they want people to go quietly. Blogging is still relatively quiet. As long as no one will make them feel anything, they're not too worried about what effect their policies have on anyone.

This is exactly what Obama does with the RepubliCONS and banksters - pleads.
President Obama is merely imitating our example. We are our own leaders. Obama is NOT leading US, we are leading Obama. So far, we haven't been doing such a good job.
Maybe it's time we showed President Obama how to stand up to greedy, spoiled, crazy idiots.
Obama needs us to protest like Egyptians.
We need to show him how it's done. The longer Americans put up and shut up, the worse it's going to get and the more President Obama will give in to the fanatical right.

I'm not buying this story. For one thing, it's way too articulate and CALM for someone supposedly so distraught he's going to put a period to his existence. Plus, he left no way of verifying his claim. :whistling:Actually, suicides become very calm prior to acting. They do have to reach a point where they are "at peace" with their course of action.

This DUmbass notwithstanding, if you ever encounter a person with suicidal ideation they aren't dangerous when they emotionally bottom-out; they are too weak to act.
It is when they begin to improve that they actually gain the strength of resolve.
A calm suicidal person is the most dangerous.

Wow, liberalism really IS a mental illness! I thoughtHannitySavage was just trying to sell books! :mental:
Is this a mole? Just yesterday I was reading a thread over there about population control. All the moonbats crave it. The DUmmies were saying that China had the right idea.
Yikes, I had no clue. Always assumed a person on the verge of suicide was running around screaming their head off, figuratively if not literally.
Think of it as the 5 stages of death (albeit, self-imposed): Acceptance is the final stage. Also, care-givers, first-responders and those who desensitize are most vulnerable. Cops, hospice workers, preachers, firefighters, paramedics and (no bullshit) prostitutes are all more likely to become suicidal.HI5, sir (um, Sarge, since you work for a living :-)) for both the explanation and for caring enough to help.
Suicides are not fun to deal with but I'd rather get to them before they act because they devastate those left behind. I've been privy to 2 successful suicides and 1 murder-suicide since the year's beginning. I talk to the chaplain's just to keep myself focused on helping those we can help.

Do they have internet access in Hell yet? :fuelfire:

A calm suicidal person is the most dangerous.
Following are some of the possible warning signs that a person may be at risk for suicide:
Excessive sadness or moodiness — Long-lasting sadness and mood swings can be symptoms of depression, a major risk factor for suicide.
Sudden calmness — Suddenly becoming calm after a period of depression or moodiness can be a sign that the person has made a decision to end his or her life.
Withdrawal — Choosing to be alone and avoiding friends or social activities also are possible symptoms of depression. This includes the loss of interest or pleasure in activities the person previously enjoyed.
Changes in personality and/or appearance — A person who is considering suicide might exhibit a change in attitude or behavior, such as speaking or moving with unusual speed or slowness. In addition, the person might suddenly become less concerned about his or her personal appearance.
Dangerous or self-harmful behavior — Potentially dangerous behavior, such as reckless driving, engaging in unsafe sex, and increased use of drugs and/or alcohol might indicate that the person no longer values his or her life.
Recent trauma or life crisis — A major life crises might trigger a suicide attempt. Crises include the death of a loved one or pet, divorce or break-up of a relationship, diagnosis of a major illness, loss of a job, or serious financial problems.
Making preparations — Often, a person considering suicide will begin to put his or her personal business in order. This might include visiting friends and family members, giving away personal possessions, making a will, and cleaning up his or her room or home. Some people will write a note before committing suicide.
Threatening suicide — Not everyone who is considering suicide will say so, and not everyone who threatens suicide will follow through with it. However, every threat of suicide should be taken seriously.
True, but I'm with the Warrior Queen on this one. I'll believe it when they come up with a body.It IS convenient that this guy left no instructions on how to find him. :cheersmate:

Whoa ho! Tyler Durden is back from the DU graveyard?!
This is a real treat, crew. This guy is a keyboard commando to the nth degree. He is a great role model for the current crop of DUmmies to emulate.
It'll be in the mass grave pit behind FEMA Camp #6478-A, in the field where we had last year's water balloon fight at the company picnic.
Do they have internet access in Hell yet? :fuelfire:Yes but it only has access to three web sites:
It is certainly the most cliche-riddled suicide note I've ever seen.
This person has no idea how good he has it compared to most of the rest of the world.

Are we gonna do that again this year, or paintball? And do we need to bring extra lime for the pit?Actually, I was thinking we'll have the kids in a lawn dart competition and yes, we'll need lots of lime...I'm making margaritas.

It's really weird.
The other day, there was an article posted on freerepublic whose author (not the poster, the author of the article) was listed as "Tyler Durden."
I have no idea if this would be the same person, despite that "Tyler Durden" is not a common name.
The burdened primitive had his heyday on Skins's island until the 2008 Democrat presidential primaries, when he got into squabbles with the rabid 0bamaites, and then left.
The burdened primitive, along with the unappellated eohippus, the "Horse With no Name" primitive, was one of the biggest liars on Skins's island.
And he also tended to get his facts wrong. The burdened primitive, originally from Michigan (to where he returned), had a good job in the oil industry down in Texas, but lost it in 1978.
For which he constantly blamed Ronald Reagan.
The burdened primitive later re-appeared--this was several months ago--on Skins's island under a name similar to "Tyler Durden," and posted a big "I'm back" opus.....which the other primitives blithely ignored, as if they had no idea who he was, or who he had been.
One wonders what the real "Tyler Durden" is up to these days.
Frank, Tyler Durden was the character in Fight Club.

Oh.
In case you didn't know this, sir, I don't do television; it's an alien world to me.
I think we're beyond that, and now getting ready to cross the River Styx.Moonbat River, wider than a mile.

Excuse me for saying this in mixed company, but I'm starting to think that in the middle of sex instead of yelling "yes yes yes" she yells "revolution revolution revolution".
Didn't we hit the breaking point last November?
That wasn't a revolution?
I think she is digging around under the bed looking for the "script" so she can read what to yell.

That doesn't count, it only counts when the left revolts.

That's a really, really disturbing image. But, without question, stevenumbers would hit it.

The DUmmies are always revolting.That's because they're unwashed, Cheetos finger stained monkeys tapping away at their keyboards in Mommy's basement. :-)
