jtval 0 #10 September 2, 2010 LOL... The bad thing about attempted suicide is that YOU CANT EVEN GET THAT RIGHT.And it's illegal in NY so they'll probably charge him with a crime to add to his troubles. My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never heard of anybody thrown in jail or convicted of attempted suicide. I do understand that a week's stay in a mental hospital or at least some counseling sessions is mandatory at a minimum. May vary depending on the locale. A few years back we took in a 19 year old girl who was in a coma for 2 weeks after an OD, because she had no place to stay, and she was ordered by a court to attend counseling sessions. Once she completed the sessions, we let her go back to her life, wherever it took her."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I have seen patients in California who were convicted after attempt at suicide. One was by arson, the other by gun. I think the latter got some reckless endangerment charge.

If someone kills themself, they will get nothing but ridicule and joking about it from me. Why? Everyone has the right to prematurely end their lives if they wish to do so. Just as long as they do it without directly harming others. Do you also ridicule people who smoke, drink alcohol, eat unhealthy, don't exercise etc.? Because all that shit is just another form of slow suicide.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Even though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for cirrhosis and several types of cancer (particularly cancers in the mouth and esophagus) Quote One important reason is that alcohol lubricates so many social interactions, and social interactions are vital for maintaining mental and physical health. As I pointed out last year, nondrinkers show greater signs of depression than those who allow themselves to join the party. So it is not alcohol itself which is healthy for you. Its the positive social side effects of consuming a diluted solvent.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #24 September 2, 2010 Quoteand here, our friends go in from a 100 feet with fabric over their heads ,,,,incredible... Its just proof that if it isnt your time, it isnt your time. In the pic that I attached. Black guy in the middle with the beard. He went in from about 2k with maybe 5 feet of material out. He lived, this pic was taken maybe a year and a half after he basically bounced. He was broke up pretty good, but he recovered. It just wasnt his time.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
