Man survives while trying to suicide :S

Wow. This reminds of the beginning of the movie "Kick-***". Except I don't think that guy lives.

Alright, alright...

Well, it's sad. It's sad, but I really don't have much to say about it - Babydoll covered that in her last post. I just think that people shouldn't be so insensitive around here. People's choices, a lot of the time affect other people. Especially when they choose to commit suicide.
It doesn't show that they're ignorant in their choice of how to commit suicide, or that they're ignorant because they want to commit suicide anyway.
I dunno. I just am peeved with some of the the things people are saying in this thread.

It actually might not simply be just people who jump off buildings insomuch as the majority of people who commit suicide in general. From what I've read, most people who attempt to commit suicide aren't so much looking to die as they are crying out for help and/or attention and many deaths have been averted by simply having someone talk to them personally; there are a myriad of situations that can lead to someone considering suicide but it's interesting how a lot of them can be averted by a simple action. A while back I also saw a news article about a guy who is retired and lives near a cliff which is an infamous spot to commit suicide and has decided to spend the rest of his days trying to console people he can get to before they take the dive, and he's actually managed to save quite a few. Many people consider him an angel, which is ironic since he is a Christian; never really cared for the faith myself but I admire him for his sense of compassion, I mean along with such "empathetic" people like With_Blood_Skys of course.

I believe he survived the fall because he did a Barrel Roll. ;)
