Anthony Bourdain is the latest individual. Is this becoming a 'celeb' thing to do? If so, one can only hope it catches on with the like of The View cast and similar folks.

Please don’t mock suicide. To not recognize that depression and other mental illness terrorize men and women of all ages, backgrounds, and professions is ignorant and dangerous.

I heard suicide rates have raised by 25%. That's an astonishing increase.

Certainly, depression and mental illness is a leading factor, but I'm a big believer that social media is also a huge factor in the recent rises of suicide, particularly with our youth.

It's so easy to sit behind a keyboard, and demean others. I mean, look at the stuff written out on this very board. I doubt many people would have the balls to say the things we say here to one another, if we were face to face with that person.

I'm not mocking it...I'm just wishing certain others would think about it.

Very well said. Imo, social media has syphoned off the depth of relationships and allowed the ability of people to pretend they gain without achieving.

He must have had inside information on the Clintons.......Deep State strikes again.........
Seriously though, don’t mock it. People need to recognize that this man, whose job was to literally fly around the world and experience food, fun, drink and pleasure took his own life. It should tell us that there is no out running the internal horrors we face. We should all try to be more grounded and focused on our own internal struggles. The man must have had some serious pain.

And they wonder why we think they are deplorable, WTF is wrong with you?
I think the cast on The View could probably get a discount on rope...although some of them might need more than one.

Wrong, I would call you a f'ucking moron right to your face, but there's no need for you to commit suicide over it.

Awesome. I'll be in Fayetteville, WV on July 14th, 15th, 16th, & 17th. I'm well known around those parts, so just ask for me once you ride into town.

"Ask for me?" Are you going to have a messenger boy relay the message to you that I'm in town looking for you? LOL!
It's a very small town, so that will work. Messenger boy, town drunk, or any local redneck. They'll all point you in the right direction.

He'll just take your picture from around the corner and then post it on the Marshall board with some made up BS story.

A professor of mine in grad school hanged herself. She was brilliant - MIT PhD. She had 2 young kids and was seemingly happily married. It was a shock. Apparently she had suffered with depression issues.
