Japan's Suicide Forest...

I have never heard of a suicide hotspot. Weird.

 

Id imagine if I were going to off myself Id like my last Earthly sight to be one of beauty. Perhaps that plays some into why so many choose this location, I dont know?

Fascinating stuff.

 

Really?

Suicide Bridge in Pasadena, California

 

No..that is why I stated I have never heard of it. I don't really waste my time looking for them either.

 

suicide should be painless, IMHO.

 

I dont think suicide is ever painless.
Its usually one in great distress who is motivated enough to take their own lives.
And, that doesnt even account for the ones who are left behind to suffer the aftermath.

 

You know what he meant .

 

Yep! I've had too many friends go down that selfish road and leave a wake of distress and sadness behind them.:scowl:

 

Come to San Francisco! The Golden Gate Bridge is the most popular place in the world to kill yourself. Not many people know that...

 

The Cliffs of Dover
Bridgend (South Wales)
The Runcorn/Widnes bridge (NW England)
The London Underground.

To name but four.

 

Well I'm glad you are all educating me on this.

 

thank-you, Kwesi...

 

#5: In the audience of a screening of The English Patient.......

 

Was that directed at me and my response to the statement "suicide should be painless".
In a quite more literal sense, I would imagine that it is, depending on the method used.
Death comes quick when done right, and any pain felt would be all but fleeting in that moment.

 

Never watched MASH or what?

 

Ive come across a few myself, specifically 'suicide bridge', when reading about some of the most haunted places in the California & the US.

 

HA!
