That would be outrageous.  >:(

You can strangle yourself with your own underwear in a pinch. Open up a few veins with your own teeth if you happen to be naked in a padded room. A tad gruesome, but it is an option.

My point is; it's less a matter of tools and more that of determination. Someone who really wants to not be alive anymore will find an opportunity and exploit the shit out of it. If not today - there is always tomorrow. Or the next day, or the next.

If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman
'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Doesn't sound too encouraging. Let us hope it is for a benign reason.

It's a genuine drag when good people leave us. Sorry to hear that another one is on the way out.  :blue tear:

Just now seeing this, billy. I've been out of town on business. Sorry about this - it is never easy watching someone go down.
