Today I realized why people use guns to kill themselves. You just have be brave for less than a second and it's over. I wonder if your body even registers the pain before you drop to the floor as a pile of wasted skin?

Yep. Today has been a morbid day.

I guess it depends where you point it and pull.

my stepdad's brother tried that, and he missed the major parts, like his brain. now he has a scar and a 'funny' story.

not recommended.

you could just end up alive with your face blown off.

I would say poison yourself, but you could very well end up puking it all out.

"Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live."

Guns tend to be what men use and poisons for girls. So I hear at least.

I was actually going to make that comment, as I have often heard the same, but I couldn't find a supporting statistic, so I left it out :|

so poison yourself! you wouldn't want to die with people thinking you have an excess of testosterone :(

I blame murder investigation shows. Also its the internet. We are allowed to make factless truths.

So, did you hear that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990?

I'm sure this would be more credible than about if it was more than an abstract, but I'm too tired this morning to go hunting for it on scholar or something.
