no problem
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Well, most suicides with firearms are to the head simply because it's quicker and likely nearly painless. Yet about ten percent shoot themselves in the chest (likely to have an open casket funeral). With a phaser on high, it would eliminate the need for that, cause you'd be free floating molecuels before you knew it.

What, you don't think a jar of plasma would make an attractive presentation at a funeral? 8)

I just put it to where the neck meets the chin; slight angle, and you have a clean hit to the medulla.

Er, I mean, if I were to ever contemplate suicide, that's what I'd do...

Glad to see you've never given that much serious thought.

I'd shoot myself in the head, but there's nothing vital there.

I can understand people trying to end their suffering with a quick and mostly painless death, but people to choose longer methods like strangling themselves just trip me out.

The worse was a guy I went to high school with. His sister doused herself in gas, went to her room, and struck her lighter. She was ablaze for 30 seconds in agony, and didn't make a sound. Her dad put her out, but she got SERIOUSLY disfigured.

Wow. What the hell was she on? :shock:

Hardcore...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

You didn't by any chance go to high school with a bunch of Buddhist monks in VietNam, did you?

Nope, just your regular run of the mill Psyco High. She had some emotional disorder, similar to being a hitter, where she TRULY believed she deserved pain. She couldn't take it anymore, so chose to kill two birds with one stone by choosing the most painful means of suicide she could think of.

As far as I know, she's still in the nut house.

If I knew it was definite assimilation any second and they'd already adapted to phasers and there was no escape, I'd turn it on myself, highest level and vapourise! One less drone to do there bidding...
