Year ago, at the Ren Faire, they were selling pottery containers designed to hold kitchen ingredients. However, instead of the inscribed labels being things like  
[ul]  
[li]Sugar[/li][li]Flour[/li][/ul]  
They were inscribed with descriptions like  
[ul]  
[li]Eye of Newt[/li][li]Wing of Bat[/li][/ul]

I bought the one that was “Toe Nails”. It’s still on the shelf in the kitchen (where it holds matchbooks)

Death by suicide isn’t the coward’s way out.

I don’t believe so at all. it’s a parody thread so I took a spin on something that I hear a fair amount of people people say.

Broomstick (and some other users on this forum) seems to hold this opinion in a different way that people who kill themselves are ‘selfish’ and equates allowing suicide to allow murder and well…I don’t agree at all.

Personally I think that death is more preferable than life in most circumstances given how many people there are in the world condemned to a life of abject poverty. If you can’t be an attractive white/caucasian person surrounded by good relationships (nurturing parents, close friends even if few, caring but firm authority figures), with good health, living an above-average/average lifestyle, then death is certainly more preferable than life.

Sucks this shit-ass country called Ireland has so many fags who believe otherwise. Shame Cromwell didn’t get rid of those damn Catholics…:mad::rolleyes::D. But I’m glad that Islam didn’t conquer Europe. They’d stone me for attempting suicide!

If they got to know your personality and way of thinking a little first, they would give you a posthumous award for service to humanity.
