A minority of us are at the age where death is a haunting reality.
I've heard enough second-hand accounts of cancer deaths to know that when the cancer comes, it's time to take things into my own hands.
So how do we end it on our own terms?
I'm for blind drunk and a shed and a generator, and failing that, booze and opiates.
How would you check yourself out?

Fucking so many girls I die from AIDS first.

This thread is about......suicide?

[MongolianAbroad]

Your topic is not really suited for this forum.

We focus on self improvement here...

[2Wycked]

Honestly, your professed choice is highly selfish. What about your family and friends? It is incredibly disrespectful to drink yourself to death while they will struggle to cope with your looming death.

You're asking us about suicide methods?

Sorry man, I love life. It has it's ups and downs, but that's the beauty of it all. And from what I can tell, you aren't even sick so why the fuck are you worried.

This is a board about improving your life and finding happiness as a man.

I would call troll, but I do know that some people do battle with these kinds of thoughts. Please call a suicide hotline or reach out to your closest friend/relative if it's bad.

Whatever, but 'when the time comes', a man does it on his own terms.
I'm not talking about drinking myself to death. For fuck's sakes, I have a
better liver than my doc.

My bad for feeding the troll, gents. I meant my post as a joke.

[Beyond Borders]

I'll tread lightly here, and I'm not trying to feed the troll, but is there really no room for discussion on instances where taking one's own life is understandable or even just a cleaner way to go? Hunter S. Thompson went out this way, for instance, and very much on his own terms. His choice was fitting for the life he lived.

I wasn't morally opposed to the work of Dr Kevorkian, and some societies have even decriminalized suicide. So while most cultures do have a stigma with it, one could argue that it's partly a cultural construct. Hell, there have even been societies in which ritual suicide was an honorable way to go.

To be perfectly clear, I'm not encouraging or glorifying suicide, and anyone having suicidal thoughts, especially based on temporary life problems (and most things are much more temporary than you think) or emotional difficulties, should seek serious professional help. The last thing I want to do is offer someone with psychological problems that kind of dark encouragement.

In my opinion, there's almost always a better solution than the final solution - I tend to run from my problems and just start over somewhere new.

On the other hand, if someone is being ravaged by cancer or has just lived out a long life and wants to go on their own terms, I'm not so sure I'd be quick to judge that.

I'm a bit surprised that in a non-religious forum of rational-thinking men that the topic doesn't even warrant a conversation.

EDIT: I do recognize the OP had the markings of a troll though.

I have the feeling that most men here are religios to some degree. I think it´s an american thing.

For a player suicide is not a bad option when thought rationally. After 55 years old being a playboy is quite difficult specially when you have not much money left and your looks and health are bad. Live fast die young.

Some say if we have free will this is the only way to prove it...

When thought half of life is battle and the other is hedonic adaptation so not much is left for happiness and playing.

Anyway on the other hand the older one gets the more one is used to live and adapts to the bullshit all around.

Sucide should be at least an option. It has a calming effect as one does not take live so serious.
