I like the people that think these people are sitting down and pie charting the pros and cons of suicide, and that some levels of mental illness are more prestigious than others.

Can it, already.

Dealing with the aftereffects of being in combat aren't within a million miles of dealing with everyday life.

Stop marginalizing it over a celebrity death.

Feel free to **** a trolley on a cold winter morning.

You've made it into a profession, social status or somehow a classified territory which quite frankly is ****ing stupid. Not well people are not well, regardless of circumstances.

I'll pass.

Ya, seeing your best friend get blown away is right on par with getting paid for traveling around the globe...to....eat.

It’s definitely different, but it’s still a mental illness just like depression.

Hottest take I've seen all day. The idea that trying to provide empathy and understanding to people with suicidal thoughts is not only somehow political, but also the cause of more suicides is really incredible. Kudos.

I'm not debating that.

Life is depression. Life for most people is hard. Life for most people sucks.

Take it on and keep going.

Also, the ones arguing that suicide is a result of an illness are NOT the ones trying to make suicide a choice.

Yeah because they volunteered to be in the military. Nobody in every day life signs up for severe depression.

I'm watching the CNN retrospective on him now. This sucks. He had so much more to contribute.

I have a whole blog post on this - still working on it. Hopefully some day I can find some niche to reach a tiny fraction of the people Bourdain touched in his life.

Holy Shit - Anderson Cooper was just breaking up saying Bourdain actually gave him hope, for what one's life could become at 61 - which is exactly how I felt

**** cooper and bourdain.

i don't understand why anyone condones suicide. im not religious but i refrain from certain things in case there is a god. its a bad thing to be so selfish you leave all your loved ones behind before you get hit head on by a semi?

Like anything else in life, you don’t know what it’s like if you’re not in the group. To be clinically depressed. Or black. Or gay. Or a woman. Or Middle Eastern. Or a Browns fan. Trying to debate the pros and cons of positions on that side of the fence are stupid if you’re a white hetero male rooting for team that doesn’t suck.
