The fact I even have to make this post.

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING

DO NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO END THEIR LIFE. EVER

I have updated this sub's rules to reflect the need to add a rule to ensure users do not encourage anyone to end their own life.

If you are reading this and have been suicidal at, please know that whatever you are going through can be fixed. There is always something to see tomorrow. You want to see what comes next right? There's a lot of good to see. You're not confined to your circumstances you have now.

Here's some books to help you get your life back on track:

  • No More Mr. Nice Guy by Dr. Robert Glover (Men Only)
  • How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
  • Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco

If you got the money, get a gym membership and hire a training. Work towards building more muscle and just bettering yourself. Take care of yourself. You have value to give to this work.

Also learn coding or a trade, it'll help big time. Electrician, Truck Driving, Welding and HVAC are good ones. Cutting hair is a good way to make money too.

If you hate what's going on politically, find the people near you who are fighting back. Join up with them and work together to make our country a better place. That's what I do. If you want things to do, head over to my other sub and you can look at my super list of things that need to be taken care of. You'll be surprised though that things that probably need to be resolved with your local/county government.

Politics, I recommend reading Stones Rules by Roger Stone to get started

Robert's Rules of Order (get the brief and 12th editions) is a very important book, it's the basis of how local meetings are conducted

For economies, I recommend reading Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith and Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell

Other reading, I'd recommend American Marxism by Mark Levin if you want the plan on how to fix the U.S.

To make radical change, Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky is a must

Art of War Art of Politics by Shawn Frost and Gary Gagliardi is another good book. It's Sun Szu's Art of War adapted for Politics. Art of War is an over 2,000 year old war strategy book written by Chinese General Sun Szu. This one you HAVE TO buy the paperback. They messed up the digital edition.

Do you think the suicide rate would be lower in the US if there wasn’t such easy access to guns or would the same people just find different methods? I know I’ve heard people over here talk about the fear of the pain of hanging or whatever, but then I also know a good few people who did go through with hanging themselves. Have always wondered about the phenomenon in the US though cos as you say the gun-suicide thing does seem to be an epidemic over there.

In Canada, research has found that tighter gun regulations only reduced the incidence of suicide by firearm as a method, but did not change the overall suicide rate. If people want to kill themselves, they'll find a way.

Yeah, good question.

And, I've never understood how someone successfully hangs himself.

Yeah it must take some balls all right. But even more to the point it takes some planning. You’re not going to want to use old rope obviously, you need to find somewhere that will support your weight and you won’t be disturbed (can take a little while especially if you get the drop wrong which most do if they even try the drop) etc. Similar with overdose for most as you probably won’t have the right drugs in sufficient quantities so will need to source and buy. I think what makes the gun approach in the US seem so different to me is that if you have a gun in the house you could kill yourself on a whim, and I think that’s what really makes it so different to what we see over here (although we have a very bad suicide problem here nonetheless).

Yeah, that's exactly right about the guns in the house.

On Thanksgiving Day my grandmother excused herself for a nap and went upstairs to a bedroom where my uncle kept a loaded pistol in the drawer. We don't know if she knew, and if planned, or a 'crime' of opportunity.

But she mimicked one of her employees who had recently killed himself and put a pillow to her body and went for the heart. She was on numerous medications and depressed, and the crazily religious family took her meds cold turkey from her a few days previous.

Closed casket and I sneakily raised the lid, yikes. She was bloated beyond recognition. She was best friends with Jimmy Rodgers' wife and she and her husband drank a few times at bars near Austin with Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb. A pic of all of them together was featured on Ken Burns' country music documentary.

loads of suicides with pills too. wouldnt be surprised if that was more popular than guns.
