h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

although being fairly cynical, i like your entry, and totally agree... especially the whole help-them-do-it idea. i think a lot of people do it for attention, and that's what they get when the police/fire dept/ whatever comes to try to "reason with them." maybe there would be a lot less people attempting or threatening suicide if no one paid attention...
all in all, i like the entry....

Thanks SEA I also had a spiel about the afterlife that wrote last year but I cant seem to find it. But when I do be ready for yet another entry in the Cynic's Handbook... Hey thats a good idea... ~walks off pondering redesign of page...~

lol. the cynic's handbook... i like it! maybe i could help ya!!!

I generally agree, but you have to split the suicides into two groups. first you have the deeply troubled individual in need of help who is realtively easy to spot, and so should be helped before things get that extreme. The other group is the ones where keeping them alive just extends the agony of living, and who will never get any improvement in their quality of life. Those should have the oportunity for euthanasia or your "let's shoot them". keep up the good work.
