Best Suicide notes

"I promote a wild thesis: life is suicide." It is not a wild thesis, it is an absurd one that nobody should take serious. It may be true that the very second you are born you have a biological clock that starts ticking down until you die, but it is the intentional physical action of killing yourself that qualifies as a suicide, and a note prior to that intentional physical action, that is written because of the planned intentional physical killing of yourself that counts as a suicide note. I believe the judges willhave enough common sense to realize that. The dictionary agrees with this definition as well, and I'd reccomend my oponent taking a look at the dictionaryin the future, before deciding whether or not to make a semantics argument." the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind" http://www.merriam-webster.com... "the intentional taking of one's own life."http://www.dictionary.com...It doesn't matter how many dictionaries I cite. They all say the same thing, and as far as I know Danielle has no intention of killing herself.. I actually know Danielle pretty well, we used to date in highschool. It is pretty nlikely that any voter will accept my opponent's thesis that life is suicide, but incase they do, they should keep in ind that technology is changing at a rapid pace, at some point in our lifetime it may be possible to live indefinitely, which means many people won't die unless they choose to do so, or except by accident or suicide. An age of transhumanism is on the horizon. I also object to my opponent's statement that each action we take pushes us coser to death. Common sense tells us that if we take actions like going to a doctor for routine check-ups, exercising appropriately and eating a healthy well balanced diet, that our actions actually push death back further. Heisman Suicide The last round there was a problem with the formatting that made it hard to read a review of Heisman's suicide note. It is however possible to read it, but if it is too much of a struggle, I reccomend you clicking on the weblink I pulled it from and reading it on the original site. Martin Manley I think it is appropriate to say a bit about each of these individuals lives. It's only respectful sinnce we have been drawn to their deaths in the way we have. They courted this attention for their death by how they have so publicly died, so it is not unethical to cover their death, but it is unethical to ignore their contributions, their story. Martin Manley was a genius. He was a sports writer most of his adult life, and seeing as how he was able to make a living doing what most people can only dream of, he must have been exceptionally good at it. Mr. Manley created what was known as the efficiency index to rate NBA players, and it is still widely used today. I am not much of a basketball fan, but if this system is anything like the qay Quarterbacks are rated, he did an incredible thing.The year preceding Martin Manley's death he created content for a website that covers everything he was thinking up to his death, and covers his life. People wanting to learn why people commit suicide will learn a lot from Mr. Manley's suicide note. I waned to make a quick note about the website he put up (you'll see a mirror site as yahoo took the original down). On his website he mentioned having $200,000 worth of gold. This statement sent treasure hunters galore to the location. This was a hoax,(Or was it?) which just shows how hilarious this guy was. Hopefully one day I can use my death to troll the hell out of treasure hunters just as he did. http://www.cnn.com...The following link is to a miror site that actually seems to have deleted the part with the coordinates to gold. http://martin-manley.eprci.com...The Note This is from the first page of the website, I encourage readers to click on the link and browse around, it's very interesting."Today is August 15, 2013. Today is my 60th birthday. Today is the last day of my life. Today, I committed suicide. Today, is the first day this site is active, but it will be here for years to come. Release of rights. Before I get into the nuts and bolts of this site, I first must say to those whom I have a special bond with, please don't think that I didn't consider your feelings. I'm sorry... very sorry for the hurt and pain I will have caused by my actions. In all probability, I won't be able to justify it to you - at least not today. Maybe someday you will come to understand... better. If not today, maybe someday you will be able to read what I've said and learn why. Maybe someday you will be able to forgive me. I love you! This site is divided into two major categories. The first is the suicide. The second is my life. To the left side of this page, you will see categories. Under some of them are subcategories. You can click and read anything you want. My life is an open book now that I’ve closed the book on my life. It’s important for me to have written quite a bit about my decision to commit suicide because it’s rarely been done. I assume the people I know would want to understand it better and I’m sure there are people out there who study suicide that would like to study mine – so I’ve left nothing to the imagination. It’s all here. I debated the idea of having the suicide (death) categories at the top above the life categories or at the bottom of the left side of the page. After all, chronologically, we live and then we die. But, which is more important… the life or the death? I couldn’t decide that one was more important than the other at this moment in time and so I put the suicide categories on top because it's the headline, the 11:00 news lead. Besides, the suicide categories will reveal some things that nobody knows about me while the life categories have stuff in them that at least some people know. Having decided to put the suicide stuff first, it is technically something that took a very tiny amount of time to do - contrary to my life experiences which took… a lifetime. So, what I hope will happen in the long run is that my life is remembered and the suicide is just an asterisk, a footnote. After all, we all die. The way we died doesn’t change one little thing about the way we lived. When remembering anyone who has passed on, hopefully it is the life that is recalled and not the death. So, if you want to understand everything I have to say about mydeath - simply read the first 12 categories on the list to the left - especially Suicide Preface. If you want to know what I have to say about my life, read the next 34 categories and 44 subcategories. I've tried to present them in some kind of order that makes sense, but you can read anything you want in whatever order you want. I just hope you will read it. I think it is fair to say that I owe you (assuming "you" are someone that I know) an explanation. It's unfair to rob someone of something they love or even like or even know without an explanation. Having said that, you also owe me. You owe me the time it takes to understand why I did what I did without prejudging. I've done my part. The rest is up to you. If you opt to not read it, then I'm tempted to say "You can't handle the truth!"... but won't. I discovered that I was often writing in the present tense as well as the past tense, so I decided I would write in the past tense for the death categories - except for the next two categories (January 1, 2012 and June 11, 2012), but present tense for the life categories. At least that will be the norm. Lastly, at some point in reading this site you would have asked whether I was ultimately satisfied with my life, so I decided this was the best place to address it. I suspect nobody is completely satisfied and I'm no different. No, I wasn't fully satisifed with my life, but I wasfully satisfied with my death!" ConclusionThanks for readin this. I strongly urge my opponent to get back on topic so the voters do not grow bored with this debate. (if you want to call it that)
