Martin Manley commited suicide at 60 years old. Nothing too spectacular about the situation except that he activate a website detailing almost every part of his thought process on the day of the deed.
So basically… he killed himself for the sake of wanting the record of the largest suicide letter in the world?
How pathetic. I don’t give a crap if you kill yourself or not, hell the worlds overpopulated as it is, but for a dumbass reason like that? Then dis nigga goes on bragging about how much money and happiness he had throughout life that ALL of us constantly wish we could have?
I bet he was as pathetic in life as he is in death.
The guy knew what he wanted and he took control of his life, which is more than most people can say. He seems like a pretty interesting dude, too. RIP.
I disapprove of suicide completely., now that being said:
I just finished reading OP’s link. That was easily one of the most interesting and disturbing things I’ve seen on the internet in years. Here was a man who was more rational and lucid than most, had his shit together, lived a fulfilling life, and chose to do what the fuck he wanted right until the end giving 0 fucks what others thought.
No, he killed himself because he wanted to be in control of his own death. It’s there in the first few sentences.
I find this to be very fascinating. I read a tutorial on how to kill yourself using gas a few years ago, written by a man who wanted to teach others to kill themselves safely(for others) and painlessly, before taking his own life. It might seem kind of ghoulish to be interested in such things, but these are intelligent people that didn’t do this on a whim or during an emotional episode, so it’s not like they didn’t make an educated and thought-out choice. It would be disrespectful to simply write their actions off as tragedy or a mistake and lump them together with teen suicides and others emotional disorders.
I had no health issues. I was only sick three times in my adult life that I can remember – and all three were self-induced (accidental). I didn’t miss a scheduled day of work in over 25 years. I had no diseases.** I never drank. I never took drugs. I never smoked.** Thus, I had no physical problems other than occasional acid indigestion – but, that was usually after eating a whole pan of brownies! So, I admit, I did have brownie issue.
This suicide makes sense now.
Crazy how far this guy went just to become a “memory.”
