Aokigahara
Aokigahara (青木ヶ原?), also known as the Sea of Trees (樹海, Jukai?), is a 35-square-kilometre (14 sq mi) forest that lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest contains a number of rocky, icy caverns, a few of which are popular tourist destinations. Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees and an absence of wildlife, the forest is known for being eerily quiet.
The forest has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology and is a popular place for suicides; 54 completed the act in 2010, despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions.
The forest floor consists primarily of volcanic rock and is difficult to penetrate with hand tools such as picks or shovels. There are also a variety of unofficial trails that are used semi-regularly for the annual "body hunt" done by local volunteers. In recent years, hikers and tourists trekking through Aokigahara have begun to use plastic tape to mark their paths so as to avoid getting lost. Though officials try to remove the tape time and time again, more tourists and thrill-seekers inevitably leave more of the litter, and a great deal of it lies scattered throughout the first kilometer of the forest, past the designated trails leading to tourist attractions such as the Ice Cave and Wind Cave. After the first kilometer into Aokigahara towards Mount Fuji, the forest is in a more "pristine" condition, with little to no litter and few obvious signs of human presence.[citation needed]

Australia
Australia (
/əˈstreɪljə/), officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the Australian continent as well as the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For at least 40,000 years before European settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who belonged to one or more of roughly 250 language groups. After discovery by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing Crown Colonies were established.

Battle of Saipan
The Battle of Saipan was a battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II, fought on the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands from 15 June – 9 July 1944. The Allied invasion fleet embarking the expeditionary forces left Pearl Harbor on 5 June 1944, the day before Operation Overlord in Europe was launched. The U.S. 2nd Marine Division, 4th Marine Division, and 27th Infantry Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Holland Smith, defeated the 43rd Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Yoshitsugu Saito.
In the campaigns of 1943 and the first half of 1944, the Allies had captured the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands and the Papuan peninsula of New Guinea. This left the Japanese holding the Philippines, the Caroline Islands, Palau Islands and Mariana Islands.
It had always been the intention of the American planners to bypass the Carolines and Palaus and to seize the Marianas and Taiwan. From these latter bases communications between the Japanese homeland and Japanese forces to the south and west could be cut. In addition, from the Marianas Japan would be well within the range of an air offensive relying on the new B-29 Superfortress long-range bomber with its operational radius of 1,500 mi (2,400 km).

Beachy Head
Beachy Head is a chalk headland in the United Kingdom, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west. Its height has also made it one of the most notorious suicide spots in the world.
The chalk was formed in the Late Cretaceous period, between 65 and 100 million years ago, when the area was under the sea. During the Cenozoic Era the chalk was uplifted (see Cenozoic Era). When the last Ice Age ended, sea levels rose and the English Channel formed, cutting into the chalk to form the dramatic cliffs along the Sussex coast.
Wave action contributes towards the erosion of cliffs around Beachy Head, which experience frequent small rock falls. Since chalk forms in layers separated by contiguous bands of flints, the physical structure affects how the cliffs erode. Wave action undermines the lower cliffs, causing frequent slab failures - slabs from layers of chalk break off, undermining the upper parts of the cliffs, which eventually collapse. In contrast to small rock falls, mass movements are less common. A mass movement happened in 2001 when, after a winter of heavy rain, the water had begun to seep into the cracks which had frozen and caused the cracks to widen. This then made the cliff edge erode and collapse into the sea.

Brazil
Brazil
i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)), is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population with over 192 million people. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

Brown University
Brown University is a private, Ivy League university located in Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Founded in 1764 prior to American independence from the British Empire as the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations early in the reign of King George III (1760–1820), Brown is the third oldest institution of higher education in New England and seventh oldest in the United States.
Brown was the first college in the nation to accept students regardless of religious affiliation. Academically, Brown consists of The College, Graduate School, Alpert Medical School, and the School of Engineering. Brown's international programs are organized through the Watson Institute for International Studies. The New Curriculum, instituted in 1969, eliminated distribution requirements and allows any course to be taken on a satisfactory/no credit basis. In addition, there are no pluses or minuses in the letter grading system. The school has the oldest undergraduate engineering program in the Ivy League (1847). Pembroke College, Brown's women's college, merged with the university in 1971. While Brown is considered a small research university with 689 full-time faculty and 2,000 graduate students, five of its professors and two of its alumni have been honored as Nobel Laureates. The faculty added 100 new professors in the past 10 years under the Boldly Brown campaign.

Canada
Canada ( /ˈkænədə/) is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9,900,000 km2 (3,800,000 sq mi), Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world.
The land that is now Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, along the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy; the Canada Act 1982 severed the vestiges of legal dependence on Britain.

England
Englandi/ˈɪŋɡlənd/ is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west, while the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south separate it from continental Europe. Most of England comprises the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD 927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law—the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world—developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation. England's Royal Society laid the foundations of modern experimental science.

Germany
Germany (i/ˈdʒɜrməni/), officially the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, pronounced [ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant] (
listen)), is a federal parliamentary republic in Europe. The country consists of 16 states while the capital and largest city is Berlin. Germany covers an area of 357,021 km2 and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With 81.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous member state and the largest economy in the European Union. It is one of the major political powers of the European continent and a technological leader in many fields.
A region named Germania, inhabited by several Germanic peoples, was documented before AD 100. During the Migration Period, the Germanic tribes expanded southward, and established successor kingdoms throughout much of Europe. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation while southern and western parts remained dominated by Roman Catholic denominations, with the two factions clashing in the Thirty Years' War, marking the beginning of the Catholic–Protestant divide that has characterized German society ever since. Occupied during the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of Pan-Germanism inside the German Confederation resulted in the unification of most of the German states into the German Empire in 1871 which was Prussian dominated. After the German Revolution of 1918–1919 and the subsequent military surrender in World War I, the Empire was replaced by the Weimar Republic in 1918, and partitioned in the Treaty of Versailles. Amidst the Great Depression, the Third Reich was proclaimed in 1933. The latter period was marked by Fascism and World War II. After 1945, Germany was divided by allied occupation, and evolved into two states, East Germany and West Germany. In 1990 Germany was reunified.

India
India (i/ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

Italy
Italyi/ˈɪtəli/ (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic or the Republic of Italy (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north, it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south, it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia–the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea–and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world.
Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries a political and religious centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the decline of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of Maritime republics and the Renaissance, an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought.

Japan
Japan
i/dʒəˈpæn/ (Japanese: 日本 Nihon or Nippon; formally 日本国 
Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, literally the State of Japan) is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is an archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 127 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.
Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese history texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 expanded into part of World War II in 1941, which came to an end in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since adopting its revised constitution in 1947, Japan has maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and an elected parliament called the Diet.

Jonestown
Jonestown was the informal name for the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, an intentional community in northwestern Guyana formed by the Peoples Temple led by Jim Jones. It became internationally notorious when, on November 18, 1978, 918 people died in the settlement as well as in a nearby airstrip and in Georgetown, Guyana's capital. The name of the settlement became synonymous with the incidents at those locations.
A total of 909 Temple members died in Jonestown, all but two from apparent cyanide poisoning, in an event termed "revolutionary suicide" by Jones and some members on an audio tape of the event and in prior discussions. This includes over 200 murdered children. The poisonings in Jonestown followed the murder of five others by Temple members at a nearby Port Kaituma airstrip. The victims included United States Congressman Leo Ryan. Four other Temple members died in Georgetown at Jones's command.
To the extent the actions in Jonestown were viewed as a mass murder, it was the largest such event in modern history and resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001.

Luminous Veil
The Luminous Veil is a suicide barrier that was added to the Prince Edward Viaduct in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. First approved by the Toronto City Council in 1998, the construction of the Luminous Veil was delayed for years because of concerns about funding. During the delays in construction, the viaduct was the site of an estimated 60 suicides. The city council originally approved a C$2.5 million budget for the Luminous Veil. However, the minimum bid for construction was $5.5 million. After a year's delay, they endorsed a fundraising campaign to raise the rest of the money. Construction was completed in 2003 at the cost of $5.5 million, with $2.5 million coming from taxpayers.
The Luminous Veil was designed jointly by architect and University of Waterloo Professor Derek Revington and engineers at Halcrow Yolles, a structural engineering firm in Toronto. It consists of over 9,000 rods, each 5 metres (16 ft) tall, spaced 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in) apart and held in place by an angled steel frame. The tensile structure was difficult to analyze and required several tests at the University of Toronto. The design, which is an effective suicide barrier without significantly disrupting the view from the viaduct, won the 1999 Canadian Architect Award of Excellence. Cost prohibited the planned lighting to be installed on the top horizontal member, but the name "Luminous Veil" continues to be used.

Masada
Masada (Hebrew מצדה, pronounced Metzada (help·info), from מצודה, metzuda, "fortress") is the name for a site of ancient palaces and fortifications in the Southern District of Israel, on top of an isolated rock plateau, or horst, on the eastern edge of the Judaean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea. Masada is best known for the violence that occurred there in the first century CE. In the final accords of the First Jewish–Roman War, the Siege of Masada by troops of the Roman Empire led to the mass suicide of the Sicarii rebels. Masada is located at 31°18'56"N, 35°21'14"E, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Arad.
The cliffs on the east edge of Masada are about 1,300 feet (400 m) high and the cliffs on the west are about 300 feet (91 m) high; the natural approaches to the cliff top are very difficult. The top of the plateau is flat and rhomboid-shaped, about 1,800 feet (550 m) by 900 feet (270 m). There was a casemate wall around the top of the plateau totaling 4,300 feet (1.3 km) long and 12 feet (3.7 m) high, with many towers, and the fortress included storehouses, barracks, an armory, the palace, and cisterns that were refilled by rainwater. Three narrow, winding paths led from below up to fortified gates.

Nazi Germany
The Third Reich, also Nazi Germany, is the common name for Germany when it was a totalitarian state ruled by Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). On 30 January 1933 Hitler became chancellor of Germany, quickly eliminating all opposition to rule as sole leader. The state idolized Hitler as its Führer ("leader"), centralizing all power in his hands. Historians have emphasized the hypnotic effect of his rhetoric on large audiences, and of his eyes in small groups. Kessel writes, "Overwhelmingly...Germans speak with mystification of Hitler's 'hypnotic' appeal..." Under the "leader principle", the Führer's word was above all other laws. Top officials reported to Hitler and followed his policies, but they had considerable autonomy. The government was not a coordinated, cooperating body, but rather a collection of factions struggling to amass power and curry favor with the Führer. In the midst of the Great Depression, the Nazi government restored prosperity and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending and a mixed economy of free-market and central-planning practices. Extensive public works were undertaken, including the construction of the Autobahns. The return to prosperity gave the regime enormous popularity; the suppression of all opposition made Hitler's rule mostly unchallenged.

New York City
New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world. The city is referred to as New York City or The City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. As a global power city, New York exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural capital of the world.
Located on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which comprises a state county. The five boroughs—The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. With a Census-estimated 2011 population of 8,244,910 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2), New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. The New York City Metropolitan Area's population is the United States' largest, with 18.9 million people distributed over 6,720 square miles (17,400 km2), and is also part of the most populous combined statistical area in the United States, containing 22.1 million people as of the 2010 Census.

Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland (Irish: Tuaisceart Éireann pronounced [ˈt̪ˠuəʃcəɾˠt̪ˠ ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ] ( listen), Ulster Scots: Norlin Airlann or Norlin Airlan) is a part of the United Kingdom in the north-east of the island of Ireland. It shares a border with the Republic of Ireland to the south and west. As of 2001, its population was 1,685,000, constituting about 30% of the island's total population and about 3% of the population of the United Kingdom. Since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, Northern Ireland is largely self-governing. According to the agreement, Northern Ireland co-operates with the rest of Ireland – from which it was partitioned in 1921 — on some policy areas, while other areas are reserved for the Government of the United Kingdom, though the Republic of Ireland "may put forward views and proposals".
Northern Ireland was for many years the site of a violent and bitter inter-communal conflict — the Troubles — which was caused by divisions between nationalists, who are predominantly Roman Catholic, and unionists, who are predominantly Protestant. Unionists want Northern Ireland to remain as a part of the United Kingdom, and generally see themselves as British, while nationalists wish for it to be politically reunited with the rest of Ireland, independent of British rule, and generally see themselves as Irish. Additionally, people from both sides of the community may describe themselves as Northern Irish. Since 1998, most of the paramilitary groups involved in the Troubles have ceased their armed campaigns.

San Diego
San Diego /ˌsæn diːˈeɪɡoʊ/ is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest city in California. The city is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, immediately adjacent to the Mexican border. The birthplace of California, San Diego is known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, extensive beaches, long association with the U.S. Navy, and recent emergence as a healthcare and biotechnology enclave. The population was 1,301,617 at the 2010 census.
Historically home to the Kumeyaay people, San Diego was the first site visited by Europeans on what is now the West Coast of the United States. Upon landing in San Diego Bay in 1542, Juan Cabrillo claimed the entire area for Spain, forming the basis for the settlement of Alta California 200 years later. The Presidio and Mission of San Diego, founded in 1769, were the first European settlement in what is now California. In 1821, San Diego became part of newly independent Mexico, and in 1850, became part of the United States following the Mexican-American War and the admission of California to the union.

San Francisco
San Francisco (/ˌsæn frənˈsɪskoʊ/), officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the financial, cultural, and transportation center of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.6 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland. The only consolidated city-county in California, it encompasses a land area of about 46.9 square miles (121 km2) on the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula, giving it a density of about 17,179 people per square mile (6,632 people per km2). It is the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in the state of California and the second-most densely populated large city in the United States after New York City. San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the 13th most populous city in the United States, with a population of 805,235 as of the 2010 Census. The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metropolitan area has a population of 4,335,391.
In 1776, colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi a few miles away. The California Gold Rush of 1849 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. During World War II, San Francisco was the port of embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific Theater. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen, massive immigration, liberalizing attitudes, and other factors led to the Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing San Francisco as a center of liberal activism in the United States.

Switzerland
Switzerland (German: die Schweiz[ˈʃvaɪts]; French: Suisse [sɥis(ə)]; Italian: Svizzera [ˈzvit͡sːɛra]; Romansh: Svizra [ˈʒviːtsrɐ] or [ˈʒviːtsʁːɐ]), in its full name the Swiss Confederation (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, hence its abbreviation CH), is a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities. The country is situated in western Europe, where it is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.
Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8 million people is concentrated mostly on the Plateau, where the largest cities are to be found. Among them are the two global cities and economic centres of Zurich and Geneva.
The Swiss Confederation has a long history of armed neutrality—it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815—and did not join the United Nations until 2002. It pursues, however, an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world. Switzerland is also the birthplace of the Red Cross and home to a large number of international organizations, including the second largest UN office. On the European level, it is a founding member of the European Free Trade Association and is part of the Schengen Area – although it is notably not a member of the European Union, nor the European Economic Area.

Toronto
Toronto (/təˈrɒntoʊ/, colloquially /ˈtrɒnoʊ/) is the largest city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late-18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British monarchy from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant-governor, John Graves Simcoe. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812 and damaged in two great fires in 1849 and in 1904. Since its incorporation, Toronto has repeatedly expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998.
With over 2.6 million residents, it is the fifth most populous city in North America. Its metropolitan area has over 5.5 million residents. Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and is part of a densely populated region in Southern Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe, which has a population of nearly 9 million people as of 2011. The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,583,064, and the Greater Toronto Area had a population of 6,054,191 in the 2011 Census. Its cosmopolitan and international population reflects its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, with about 49% of the population born outside Canada. Toronto is also consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.

Tunisia
Tunisia (USi/tuːˈniːʒə/ two-NEE-zhə or UK /tjuːˈnɪziə/ tew-NIZ-iə; Arabic: تونس Tūnis pronounced [ˈtuːnɪs]), officially the Republic of Tunisia (Arabic: الجمهورية التونسية al-Jumhūriyyah at-Tūnisiyyah), is the northernmost country in Africa. It is an Arab Maghreb country and is bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. Its area is almost 165,000 square kilometres (64,000 sq mi), with an estimated population of just under 10.7 million. Its name is derived from the capital Tunis located in the northeast.
Tunisia is the smallest country in North Africa. The south of the country is composed of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil and 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) of coastline.
Tunisia has relations with both the European Union—with whom it has an association agreement—and the Arab world. Tunisia is also a member of the Arab Maghreb Union, the Arab League, and the African Union. Tunisia has established close relations with France in particular, through economic cooperation, industrial modernization, and privatisation programs.

United States
The United States of America (commonly abbreviated to the United States, the U.S., the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west, across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Pacific and Caribbean.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) and with over 312 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and the third largest by both land area and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The U.S. economy is the world's largest national economy, with an estimated 2011 GDP of $15.1 trillion (22% of nominal global GDP and over 19% of global GDP at purchasing-power parity). Per capita income is the world's sixth-highest.

York Castle
York Castle in the city of York, England, is a fortified complex comprising, over the last nine centuries, a sequence of castles, prisons, law courts and other buildings on the south side of the River Foss. The now-ruinous keep of the medieval Norman castle is sometimes referred to as Clifford's Tower. Built originally on the orders of William I to dominate the former Viking city of York, the castle suffered a tumultuous early history before developing into a major fortification with extensive water defences. After a major explosion in 1684 rendered the remaining military defences uninhabitable, York Castle continued to be used as a jail and prison until 1929.
The first motte and bailey castle on the site was built in 1068 following the Norman conquest of York. After the destruction of the castle by rebels and a Viking army in 1069, York Castle was rebuilt and reinforced with extensive water defences, including a moat and an artificial lake. York Castle formed an important royal fortification in the north of England.

African American
African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, and formerly as American Negroes) are citizens or residents of the United States that have ancestry from any of the native populations of Sub-Saharan Africa.
African Americans make up the single largest racial minority in the United States. Most African Americans are of West and Central African descent and are descendants of enslaved Africans within the boundaries of the present United States. However, some immigrants from African, Caribbean, Central American or South American nations, or their descendants, may be identified or self-identify with the term.
African-American history starts in the 16th century with African slaves who quickly rose up against the Spanish explorer Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón and progresses to the present day, with Barack Obama as the 44th and current President of the United States. Between those landmarks there have been events and issues, both resolved and ongoing, including slavery, racism, Reconstruction, development of the African-American community, participation in the great military conflicts of the United States, racial segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement.

Bobby Sands
Robert Gerard "Bobby" Sands (Irish: Roibeárd Gearóid Ó Seachnasaigh; 9 March 1954 – 5 May 1981) was an Irish volunteer of the Provisional Irish Republican Army and member of the British Parliament who died on hunger strike while imprisoned in HM Prison Maze.
He was the leader of the 1981 hunger strike in which Irish republican prisoners protested against the removal of Special Category Status. During his strike he was elected as a member of the British Parliament as an Anti H-Block/Armagh Political Prisoner candidate. His death resulted in a new surge of IRA recruitment and activity. International media coverage brought attention to the hunger strikers, and the republican movement in general, attracting both praise and criticism.
Sands was born into a Catholic family in Abbots Cross, but also lived in a house in Doonbeg Drive, Newtownabbey, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and lived there until 1960 whereupon the family were forced to move to Rathcoole, Newtownabbey. His first sister, Marcella, was born in April 1955 and second sister, Bernadette, in November 1958. His parents, John and Rosaleen, had another son, John, in 1962. On leaving school, he became an apprentice coach-builder until he was forced out at gunpoint by loyalists.[clarification needed]

David Hume
David Hume (7 May [O.S. 26 April] 1711 – 25 August 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, known especially for his philosophical empiricism and scepticism. He was one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume is often grouped with John Locke, George Berkeley, and a handful of others as a British Empiricist.
Beginning with his A Treatise of Human Nature (1739), Hume strove to create a total naturalistic "science of man" that examined the psychological basis of human nature. In stark opposition to the rationalists who preceded him, most notably Descartes, he concluded that desire rather than reason governed human behaviour, saying: "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions." A prominent figure in the sceptical philosophical tradition and a strong empiricist, he argued against the existence of innate ideas, concluding instead that humans have knowledge only of things they directly experience. Thus he divides perceptions between strong and lively "impressions" or direct sensations and fainter "ideas", which are copied from impressions. He developed the position that mental behaviour is governed by "custom"; our use of induction, for example, is justified only by our idea of the "constant conjunction" of causes and effects. Without direct impressions of a metaphysical "self", he concluded that humans have no actual conception of the self, only of a bundle of sensations associated with the self.

Death in absentia
Death in absentia (or presumption of death) is a legal declaration that a person is deceased in the absence of remains (e.g., a corpse or skeleton) attributable to that person. Such a declaration is typically made when a person has been missing for an extended period of time without any evidence that the person is still alive, or when the circumstances surrounding a person's disappearance overwhelmingly support the belief that the person has died (e.g., an airplane crash). A declaration that a person is dead resembles other forms of "preventive adjudication," such as the declaratory judgment.
In most common law and civil code jurisdictions, it is usually necessary to obtain a court order directing the registrar to issue a death certificate in the absence of a physician's certification that an identified individual has died. However, if there is circumstantial evidence that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the individual is deceased on the balance of probabilities, jurisdictions may agree to issue death certificates without any such order. For example, passengers and crew of the Titanic who were not rescued by the RMS Carpathia were declared legally dead soon after the Carpathia's arrival at New York City. More recently, death certificates for those who perished in the September 11, 2001 attacks were issued by the State of New York within days of the tragedy. The same is usually true of soldiers missing after a major battle, especially if the enemy keeps an accurate record of its prisoners of war.

Erwin Rommel
Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944), popularly known as the Desert Fox (Wüstenfuchs, listen (help·info)), was a German Field Marshal of World War II. He won the respect of both his own troops and the enemies he fought.
He was a highly decorated officer in World War I, and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his exploits on the Italian front. In World War II, he further distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. However, it was his leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign that established the legend of the Desert Fox. He is considered to have been one of the most skilled commanders of desert warfare in the conflict.[page needed] He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion in Normandy.
As one of the few generals who consistently fought the Western Allies (he was never assigned to the Eastern Front), Rommel is regarded as having been a humane and professional officer. His Afrikakorps was never accused of war crimes. Soldiers captured during his Africa campaign were reported to have been treated humanely. Furthermore, he ignored orders to kill captured commandos, Jewish soldiers and civilians in all theaters of his command.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche ( /ˈniːtʃə/;German pronunciation: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈniːtsʃə]; October 15, 1844 – August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher, poet, cultural critic and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and aphorism.
Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism, nihilism and postmodernism. His style and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth have resulted in much commentary and interpretation, mostly in the continental tradition. His key ideas include the death of God, the Übermensch, the eternal recurrence, the Apollonian and Dionysian dichotomy, perspectivism and the will to power. Central to his philosophy is the idea of "life-affirmation", which involves an honest questioning of all doctrines that drain life's expansive energies, however socially prevalent and radical those views might be.

George Grie
George Grie (born May 14, 1962) is a Russian-Canadian artist.
One of the first digital artists, Grie is known for numerous 3D, 2D, and matte painting images. Born in the USSR during the Soviet regime (aka Russian: Джордж Грие or Юрий Грибановский) he did not adopt the conventional and politically correct socialist realism art style.
Grie's artistic style has been heavily influenced by famous surrealists such as Rene Magritte and Salvador Dalí, fantastic realists Zdzisław Beksiński and Wojciech Siudmak, and surreal photomanipulation artist Jerry Uelsmann. His neo-surrealist artwork is a combination of classic surrealist symbolism with modern fantasy, gothic, and visionary art tendencies.
The artist's digital neo-surrealistic artworks are an extraordinary visual record of his conceptual thoughts, philosophic views, fantasies, and dreams. Often journeying into the subconscious, Grie's photo-realistic artwork shows a magical, playful, and dream-like world laced with detail. Supernatural illusions, mystic romanticism, spiritual magic and gothic overtones are all intertwined in his virtual world. The end result on the viewer’s side is not always comfortable or conventional: there is a great deal of tension and alienation, yet not without an underlying tranquility, in the strange events taking place in the landscape of his imagination.

Jack Kevorkian
Jacob "Jack" Kevorkian ( /kɨˈvɔrkiən/; May 26, 1928 – June 3, 2011), commonly known as "Dr. Death", was an American pathologist, euthanasia activist, painter, author, composer and instrumentalist. He is best known for publicly championing a terminal patient's right to die via physician-assisted suicide; he claimed to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He famously said, "dying is not a crime".
Beginning in 1999, Kevorkian served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. He was released on parole on June 1, 2007, on condition he would not offer suicide advice to any other person.
As an oil painter and a jazz musician, Kevorkian marketed limited quantities of his visual and musical artwork to the public.

Jesus
Jesus ( /ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς; 7–2 BC/BCE to 30–36 AD/CE), also referred to as Jesus Christ or simply Christ, is the central figure of Christianity and most Christian denominations venerate him as God the Son incarnated. In Islam, Jesus (in Arabic: عيسى in Islamic usage, commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets.
Most modern historians agree that Jesus existed and was a Jewish teacher from Galilee in Roman Judaea, who was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate. Scholars have offered competing descriptions and portraits of Jesus, which at times share a number of overlapping attributes, such as a rabbi, a charismatic healer, the leader of an apocalyptic movement, a self-described Messiah, a sage and philosopher, or a social reformer who preached of the "Kingdom of God" as a means for personal and egalitarian social transformation. Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian historical records to arrive at an estimated chronology of Jesus' life.

Jim Jones
Reverend James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was the founder and leader of the Peoples Temple, which is best known for the November 18, 1978 mass suicide of 909 Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana along with the killings of five other people at a nearby airstrip. Over 200 children were murdered at Jonestown, almost all of whom were forcibly made to ingest cyanide by the elite Temple members.
Jones was born in Indiana and started the Temple in that state in the 1950s. Jones and the Temple later moved to California, and both gained notoriety with the move of the Temple's headquarters to San Francisco in the mid-1970s.
The incident in Guyana ranks among the largest mass suicides in history, though most likely it involved forced suicide and/or murder, and was the single greatest loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001. Among the dead was Leo Ryan, who remains the only Congressman assassinated in the line of duty as a Congressman in the history of the United States.

Jonestown
Jonestown was the informal name for the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, an intentional community in northwestern Guyana formed by the Peoples Temple led by Jim Jones. It became internationally notorious when, on November 18, 1978, 918 people died in the settlement as well as in a nearby airstrip and in Georgetown, Guyana's capital. The name of the settlement became synonymous with the incidents at those locations.
A total of 909 Temple members died in Jonestown, all but two from apparent cyanide poisoning, in an event termed "revolutionary suicide" by Jones and some members on an audio tape of the event and in prior discussions. This includes over 200 murdered children. The poisonings in Jonestown followed the murder of five others by Temple members at a nearby Port Kaituma airstrip. The victims included United States Congressman Leo Ryan. Four other Temple members died in Georgetown at Jones's command.
To the extent the actions in Jonestown were viewed as a mass murder, it was the largest such event in modern history and resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001.

Mohamed Bouazizi
Mohamed Bouazizi (29 March 1984 – 4 January 2011; Arabic: محمد البوعزيزي) was a Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire on 17 December 2010, in protest of the confiscation of his wares and the harassment and humiliation that he reported was inflicted on him by a municipal official and her aides. His act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring, inciting demonstrations and riots throughout Tunisia in protest of social and political issues in the country. The public's anger and violence intensified following Bouazizi's death, leading then-President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down on 14 January 2011, after 23 years in power.
The success of the Tunisian protests inspired protests in several other Arab countries, plus several non-Arab countries. The protests included several men who emulated Bouazizi's act of self-immolation, in an attempt to bring an end to their own autocratic governments. Those men and Bouazizi were hailed by some Arab commentators as "heroic martyrs of a new Middle Eastern revolution."

Peoples Temple
Peoples Temple was a religious organization founded in 1955 by Jim Jones that, by the mid-1970s, included over a dozen locations in California including its headquarters in San Francisco. It is best known for the events of November 18, 1978, in Guyana, in which 918 people died at the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project (informally, and now commonly, called "Jonestown") and nearby airstrip at Port Kaituma, and Georgetown in an organized mass suicide/killing.
The mass suicide and killings at Jonestown resulted in the greatest single loss of American civilian life in a non-natural non-accidental disaster prior to the events of September 11, 2001. Casualties at the airstrip included, among others, Congressman Leo Ryan.
Before forming a church, Jim Jones had become enamored by communism and frustrated by the harassment communists received in the U.S. This, among other things, provided a seminal inspiration for Jones; as he himself described in a biographical recording,
Although he feared a backlash for being a communist, Jones was surprised when a Methodist superintendent (whom he had not met through the American Communist Party) helped him into the church, despite his knowledge that Jones was a communist. In 1952, Jones became a student pastor in Sommerset Southside Methodist Church in Indianapolis, but left that church because it barred him from integrating African Americans into his congregation. In 1954, Jones began his own church in a rented space in Indianapolis, at first naming it the Community Unity Church.

Samaritans
The Samaritans (Hebrew: שומרונים Shomronim, Arabic: السامريون as-Sāmariyyūn) are an ethnoreligious group of the Levant. Religiously the Samaritans are adherents of Samaritanism, an Abrahamic religion closely related to Judaism. Based on the Samaritan Torah, Samaritans claim their worship is the true religion of the ancient Israelites prior to the Babylonian Exile, preserved by those who remained in the Land of Israel, as opposed to Judaism, which they assert is a related but altered and amended religion brought back by those returning from exile.
Ancestrally, Samaritans claim descent from a group of Israelite inhabitants from the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh (the two sons of Joseph) as well as some descendants from the priestly tribe of Levi, who have connections to ancient Samaria from the period of their entry into the land of Canaan, while some suggest that it was from the beginning of the Babylonian Exile up to the Samaritan Kingdom of Baba Rabba. The Samaritans, however, derive their name not from this geographical designation, but rather from the Hebrew term Shamerim שַמֶרִים, "Keepers [of the Law]".

Youth suicide
Youth suicide is when a young person deliberately ends his or her own life. Rates of attempted and completed youth suicide in Western societies are high. For example, in Australia suicide is second only to motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of death for people aged 15–24, and according to the National Institute for Mental Health, suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens in the United States. It is a much bigger problem in other countries: in India, one-third of suicides are young people 15–29. In 2002, 154,000 suicides were recorded in India.
According to research carried out by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian in 2007, 39% of all youth suicides are completed by young people who have lost someone of influence or significance to them to suicide. The Commission terms this suicide contagion and makes several recommendations as to the importance of safe guarding young people and communities from suicide contagion.
In 2011 the Australian Federal Parliament Standing Committee for Health and Ageing Inquiry into Youth Suicide met in a round table forum with young representatives from three organisations at the forefront of preventing youth suicide, including Sunnykids, Inspire, and Boys Town. The Standing Committee has since released a discussion paper highlighting the findings of their inquiry and will seek to make final recommendations on the most effective means for reducing youth suicide at the conclusion of their inquiry.

Édouard Manet
Édouard Manet (US /mæˈneɪ/ or UK /ˈmæneɪ/; French: [edwaʁ manɛ]; 1832–1883) was a French painter. One of the first 19th-century artists to approach modern-life subjects, he was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.
His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe) and Olympia, engendered great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.
Born into an upper class household with strong political connections, Manet rejected the future originally envisioned for him, and became engrossed in the world of painting. He married Suzanne Leenhoff in 1863. The last 20 years of Manet's life saw him form bonds with other great artists of the time, and develop his own style that would be heralded as innovative and serve as a major influence for future painters.
Édouard Manet was born in Paris on 23 January 1832, to an affluent and well connected family. His mother, Eugénie-Desirée Fournier, was the daughter of a diplomat and goddaughter of the Swedish crown prince, Charles Bernadotte, from whom the current Swedish monarchs are descended. His father, Auguste Manet, was a French judge who expected Édouard to pursue a career in law. His uncle, Edmond Fournier, encouraged him to pursue painting and often took young Manet to the Louvre. In 1841 he enrolled at secondary school, the Collège Rollin. In 1845, at the advice of his uncle, Manet enrolled in a special course of drawing where he met Antonin Proust, future Minister of Fine Arts and subsequent life-long friend.

Émile Durkheim
David Émile Durkheim (French pronunciation: [emil dyʁˈkɛm], [dyʁˈkajm]) (April 15, 1858 – November 15, 1917) was a French sociologist. He formally established the academic discipline and, with Karl Marx and Max Weber, is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science and father of sociology.
Much of Durkheim's work was concerned with how societies could maintain their integrity and coherence in modernity; an era in which traditional social and religious ties are no longer assumed, and in which new social institutions have come into being. His first major sociological work was The Division of Labor in Society (1893). In 1895, he published his Rules of the Sociological Method and set up the first European department of sociology, becoming France's first professor of sociology. In 1898, he established the journal L'Année Sociologique. Durkheim's seminal monograph, Suicide (1897), a study of suicide rates amongst Catholic and Protestant populations, pioneered modern social research and served to distinguish social science from psychology and political philosophy. The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912), presented a theory of religion, comparing the social and cultural lives of aboriginal and modern societies.

- I say the easiest thing in the world
Is to love you
And the hardest thing in the world
Is to lose you
Said I tried and tried again to keep you
But it just ain't no use
I'm baffled cuz of what went down
See I got your letter so you're leaving town
Just take one minute to think about
Baby, lets back track on what happened in this house
Now I remember clearly it was a Saturday
I came walkin' in four o'clock in the morning
And I thought you were sleepin' one eye opened
You turned and said to me where the hell you been
Then I turned it around and hollared with some friends drinking
And now I'm sitting here all alone
Wishing you were here to house this home, oh
Say the easiest thing in the world is to love you
I love you baby
And the hardest thing in the world (So hard)
Is to lose you (Is to lose you baby)
- Now I'm sitting here sippin' on things
I'm not suppose to (Sittin right here)
And that ain't cool (You know that ain't cool)
I've got to get over losing you
Shattered I can't believe you're gone
I'm left in the middle of these four walls
Lying helpless 'bout to lose my mind baby
I can't fathom life without you by my side
Now every night before I go to sleep
I pray to heaven for a better me
Nights I'm up thinkin' and days I'm up dreamin'
You were at work I was at play
A nigga wanted you and plus his cake
I know I ain't got no right to say
But I need you to head on back this way
Because I'm sitting here all alone
Wishing you were here to house this home
Baby can't we just moan for love like we used to
See, sometimes we men, we can dish it out
But sometimes we men, we can't take it, hey
So I'm gonna get up out this chair
And catch me a train, and get where you are, hey
Because I love you babe
And i need you
Right here by my side
Ghetto woman come on home to me
The night is mine, it burns so black
And there will be no morning light
The human race's foul disease
Will keep the morning from our sight
Why can't we say the secret word?
Respect for nothing, fire or flood
Expect no quarter, no reprieve
We writhe and grin in our own blood
No sun just clouds and poison rain
Raped and freezing, victims of the dream again
Truly our days are darker now
We lie and cheat to our own selves
If we do this, I ask you how
Can we speak truth to someone else?
There is no way, no road at all
We are destroyed by our own plan
The air we breathe will kill us all
And no one left to give a damn
No sun just clouds and poison rain
Raped and freezing, victims of the dream again
Stay clean, be true, do whatever you can do
Make it soon or we all die
Ten thousand years and all we got is suicide
If there be Gods, then tell me why
They make us kill and kill again?
One hundred thousand thousand years
No mercy in the minds of men
What is the word that we should read?
What incantation should we say?
How can we ask for justice now
When all the world is blown away?
No sun, no hope the world is run insane
Raped and freezing, victims of the dream again
Stay clean, be true, do whatever you can do
Make it soon or we all die
Desperate
We celebrate
The life and death
We incarnate
The sins that we repent
Celebrate
The desperate
The life and death
They incarnate
Creatures of the lost
Suicide
Suicide
Desperate
We celebrate
The life and death
We incarnate
I've been stumblin' through my years
All I had was sweat and tears
When I thought I had it made
I was always much too late
And throughout my whole life I've done everything wrong
Chorus:
No way out - suicide
No way out - suicide
I am loosing all I get
For myself there's just regret
And my brain, it feels so ill
Am I waiting for the kill?
What the hell's there on earth that cold keep me alive?
Chorus
There's a shadow on my back
I've been taking the wrong track
Now I've gone a bit too far
I've begun a private war
All I hate is myself but I've shot someone else
Standing in the bathroom with a gun in my hand
Pulling on the trigger just as fast as I can
I can hear her scream as she reaches for the lover beside her
Married by the Bible, she was only sixteen
I was fresh from prison trying to follow my dream
Who'd ever thought I'd be the judge and the jury that tried her?
Blood splattered all over the wall
The gun still smoking as I watch it fall
I run through the door while the sirens blow out on the highway
Maybe they'll catch me and maybe they wont
It really doesn't matter i just had to do things my way
Yeah, yeah, I might just commit suicide, yeah, yeah
He's the only man that I trusted with my life
I can't understand why he ran off with my wife
Now that they're dead what's gonna happen to the baby?
The state will have to raise her just the way they did me
Her mother wanted freedom and I just set her free
She should have never let me see that she was no longer a lady
She called out my name just before she died
She swore she loved me and I almost cried
With trembling hands I reached out and tried to save her
Cheating is something I can understand
But not when it's cheating with my best friend
I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes
I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside
To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind
Well I walked out this morning, down a street with no name
To a club called "The Loser", like a dog that's gone lame
Took the club elevator to the floor with a view
I took out life subscription - it's the only one they do
I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!"
Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry "Just in time!"
Felt the quick push, felt the air rush
The paper called it suicide
A bullet from a forty-five
Nobody cared and nobody cried
Don't that make you feel sad?
Peter Brent combed his hair and sent
For the police
Policeman came took Peter's name
God may he rest in peace
No one saw the note beside the body
Nobody knew the problem but my God
Suicide
Yeah Mama
The body remains unidentified
Forgotten in a file
Like the letter that was blown aside
Don't that make you wanna smile?
Ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya
Awhile
Smile a little while
For the suicide
Comin' up
No one was really satisfied
About number eighty one
The autopsy proved that Peter lied
But they never found the gun
No one saw the note beside the body
Nobody knew the problem but my God
Suicide
The paper called it suicide
A bullet from a forty-five
Nobody cared and nobody cried
Don't that make you wanna pucker?
{I'm Jones the one when you drive there
This is his solo miya
From a Bridge, from a roof, for a train
From a boat, for a truck, out a plane
In your bed, in your room, under a tree
In a lake, in a bath, into sea
By a sword, by a rope or gasoline
By a knife, by a raiser or machine
[Chorus]
Suicide is in the air I can commit it everywhere
Leave this world that is totally rotten
Make sure I've nothing forgotten
I will leave a note behind
Maybe someone will remind
I'm down, depressed and I'm feeling alone
This pain inside hurts me till the bone
I'm scared to die, I wanna life forever
Asking questions but find the answer never
Behind the doors of death is no return
My soul is gone, my body will burn
I just like to sit and cry all day long
But I have work to do because now I'm young
Suicide, I think it's no alternative
Because I've a dream, a dream for which I live
But dreams can be broken or may not come true
[1998: This song is the first version of 'Chop Suey']
Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup (hide the scars to fade away the)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to
I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the (hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to
I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
Father (Father), Father (Father), Father (Father), Father (Father)
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me
In your eyes, forsaken me
In your thoughts, forsaken me
In your heart, forsaken me, oh
Trust in my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self-righteous suicide
Why cry when angels deserve to die?
I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes
I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside
To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind
Well I walked out this morning, down a street with no name
To a club called ";The Loser";, like a dog that's gone lame
Took the club elevator to the floor with a view
I took out life subscription - it's the only one they do
I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting ";Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!";
Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry ";Just in time!";
Felt the quick push, felt the air rush
Felt the sidewalk, fell in line
We will together - or we live apart.
Nothing last forever - love will break your heart.
It's a kind of feeling - we are crawling for.
To a long cold way - through the naked floor.
One day you left me - you did it on your own.
Didn't have the chance to talk with you alone.
I'm walking through the night
And i know hope's in sight
So keep your hands from stupid things,
b-side of Love Song 7" on Chiswick/Big Beat Records
(Vanian/Scabies/Sensible/Ward)
There's too much confusion for a young man to take
Look at my eyes that ain't easy to fake
I've got no spirit left to break
I'll slash my wrists ain't no mistake
Help me
Oh help me
Help me
Oh help me
Suicide suicide it's happening again
Suicide suicide I'm losing my brain
Suicide suicide what can I do
I'm gonna kill myself because of you
I've lost track of logical thinking
I'm sitting in a room not even blinking
Into the darkness I am sinking
About to hear the angels singing
Help me
Oh help me
Help me
Oh help me
Suicide suicide it's happening again
Suicide suicide I'm losing my brain
Suicide suicide what can I do
I'm gonna kill myself because of you
My mind's going round faster and faster
The scripts been read and there's no disaster
I was in with a chance but I'm a bastard
I'm lying awake in a hospital plaster
Help me
Oh help me
Help me
Oh help me
Suicide suicide it's happening again
Suicide suicide I'm losing my brain
Suicide suicide what can I do
Why is your face down, left stuck in the ground?
'Cause somebody chose not to love you,
Does that make me worthless when they turn away?
They couldn't see how much that I love them,
It's not your fault that they couldn't see,
How much that you are worth,
I'll lay you down,
Lift your hands,
You've got a reason to live,
This is not your time,
Even though it's dark now (the sun will shine again),
This will pass in time,
And I won't forget you,
I caught you in my hand,
In my hand,
Why do you cry, cry all night?
Since when are things that you wanted,
Things that you needed?
When I have given you everything,
Every part of me,
I'll lay you down,
Lift your hands,
You've got a reason to live,
This is not your time,
Even though it's dark now (the sun will shine again),
This will pass in time,
And I won't forget you,
I caught you in my hand,
You've got a reason to live,
This is not your time,
Even though it's dark now (the sun will shine again),
This will pass in time,
And I won't forget you,
I caught you in my hand,
By David Allan Coe
STANDING IN THE BATHROOM WITH A GUN IN MY HAND
PULLING ON THE TRIGGER JUST AS FAST AS I CAN
I CAN HEAR HER SCREAM AS SHE REACHES FOR THE LOVER BESIDE HER
MARRIED BY THE BIBLE SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN
I WAS FRESH FROM PRISON TRYING TO FOLLOW MY DREAM
WHO'D EVER THOUGHT ID BE THE JUDGE AND THE JURY THAT TRIED HER?
BLOOD SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE WALL
THE GUN STILL SMOKING AS I WATCH IT FALL
I RUN THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE THE SIRENS BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY
MAYBE THEY'LL CATCH ME AND MAYBE THEY WONT
IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER I JUST HAD TO DO THINGS MY WAY
YEAH YEAH
I MIGHT JUST COMMIT SUICIDE
YEAH YEAH
HE'S THE ONLY MAN THAT I TRUSTED WITH MY LIFE
I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY HE RAN OFF WITH MY WIFE
NOW THAT THEY'RE DEAD WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE BABY?
THE STATE WILL HAVE TO RAISE HER JUST THE WAY THEY DID ME
HER MOTHER WANTED FREEDOM AND I JUST SET HER FREE
SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET ME SEE THAT SHE WAS NO LONGER A LADY
SHE CALLED OUT MY NAME JUST BEFORE SHE DIED
SHE SWORE SHE LOVED ME AND I ALMOST CRIED
WITH TREMBLING HANDS I REACHED OUT AND TRIED TO SAVE HER
CHEATING IS SOMETHING I CAN UNDERSTAND
BUT NOT WHEN ITS CHEATING WITH MY BEST FRIEND
SHE BETRAYED THE LOVE AND THE BABY I GAVE HER
I took my chances, but I did my dirt
And my adivce to any nigga if you crime, then you do the works
Its givin up and step the fuck back
Cuz in this game you can fame
You gotta start dumpin these niggas off your nut-sack
Im just a nigga out the hood tryna have thangs
When I got up on my feet and screamed the brand change
And your excuse was that the money did came
My excuse was that you was to blame
Simple ??, got to show my homies love tho
I just don't fuck around with niggas that I don't know
And you can take that how you wanna take it
Im from these motherfuckin streets,
and the same rules apply in this game
you never break it
With my motherfucking luck, fallin over the craps
And you niggas who wanna try to attack
We steady dyin over dumb shit, And me im steady losin my sleep
Cuz niggas aint familiar with the rules of the street, and its a
Suicide, its a Suicide
Suicide, its a Suicide
its a, Suicide, its a Suicide
Suicide, its a Suicide
To my niggas on the street cryin then (watch them haters)
If im sittin on the side-line (get your paper)
Too many niggas complaining pointin fingers at the problem
Thats why I hate my baby momma
im just a nigga from the very bottom
skippin classes, throwin 8-balls into white powder
tryna get it, while the motherfuckers gettin good
wit possibilities of gettin out my neighborhood
don't get me wrong, I had them dreams too
But the only thing you do, is get your cream too
Get your motherfucking cream fool
Niggas aint know about the Ange and the Alicks
First you get in, then you get out, you stuck in this game
Now when its over don't nobody cry
Just enjoy while you live life, cuz everybody got to die
When you see me i'll be hella high, beatin corners wit my top down
Checkin out the chasers in the sky, Shootin paper clips at Jupiter
The more I lie, its like im gettin stupider and stupider
Tryna make the best, out of a fucked up desicion
Im just a nigga with a vision, which is to get up, get out
Gettin my props, tryna stay away from these bitches that jock dick
And move enough to move on, gotta stay true to it
Thats just the way you gotta do it
And these niggas here is really, dazed and don't give a fuck when you for real
And you like it rough, nigga what, the fuck
Know what im sayin is real, now back the fuck up for you get killed
Cuz its a..
The world keeps spinnin, with or without me
And I know, that's hard to believe
And now I'm in a box, with nothin around me
Cuz I found a girl that'll get on her knees (at ease)
And all the while I'm knowin that my homies will clown me
Cuz I fucked her and didn't have a rubber on me
It seems I had to find out the hard way
That the girl that I found in the ground, she had HIV
Now she next to me like
Lalala lala la lalala (suicide)
Lalala lala la lalala (suicide)
Lalala lala la lalala (suicide)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 million ways, to leave this whole wide world so cold
Stuck on my ass I been drinkin for days
And I got the nerve to put that Bonneville on the road
Got that thang on me and a couple kilos
A bag of ecstasy and a pound of that dro (whoa)
But I guess I had to find out the hard way
Cuz I done came to the end of the road
Now I'm in the mirror like
Lalala lala la lalala (suicide)
Lalala lala la lalala (suicide)
Lalala lala la lalala (suicide)
Lalala lala la lalala
Lalala lala la lalala
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'
Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching
A lot of niggaz talkin reckless
But if you wasn't from the hood you wouldn't understand what it is
Y'knahmsayin? We gon' clear it up right now
A lot of reckless talk out there
I'ma let y'all know my Family in tact
My whole Family in tact
My First Family in tact... for life (Marxmen!)
[Teflon]
Yo! You ever look into the eyes of the Grim Reaper?
Watch a man die when the shots fly and the shit heat up?
You in deep but, it's too late to back out
And now it's like your whole life is under a black cloud
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And you always swore before you wasn't scared to die
But take a look in your eyes, and see the fear in 'em
You know them niggaz comin they came here to get him
And they ain't playin with him, they aim and spittin
Give him a closed casket, they plain sicker than Ol' Bastard
If only he can go backwards, to the days
and change when he used to throw those ratchets in nigga's face
Stole packages, from nigga's place of business
When they was tryin to make a livin, they ain't forgive him
And niggaz stay forgettin, so as soon as he came home
from state prison niggaz came and hit him
[Chorus]
(Suicide, it's a suicide)
When you don't know who to try cause, even you could die cause
(Suicide, it's a suicide)
Gotta rely on your wits, can't get caught up in the mix kid
(Suicide) Right or left, choose a side
Life or death, you might be the next dude to die (Marxmen, Marxmen)
What's your next step? I'll let you decide
(Suicide... Marxmen)
[Teflon]
Yo, it was a chick named Dawn, she used to get it on
Honey had niggaz slippin money up in her thong
At the strip club givin dubs, 20 a song
And if the price was right she might come with him home
She was fuckin one of the customers, Asam Allah
Dude was a fool, used to walk with her under the arm
Used to take her to Jamaica, lay with her under the palm
Treat her like a queen, really all he was was a pawn
She only seen him as John, he ain't mean nothin to her
She was just leadin him on, he just feedin into the con
All along, and he felt that that was real and nobody could try it
She came home and gave homes the virus
She got nice, can't turn a ho to a housewife
And he stabbin it raw dog, gamblin without dice
Now he ready to snuff out her life
Cause the AIDS results back, they ain't come out right
[Chorus]
[Teflon]
They used to meet up every night, at the gamblin spot
After all the block business was finished of scramblin rock
They'll meet up at the spot, get a couple of drinks
All the fly cars in Bronx pullin up in they mix
Lock the door, buy the bar out, this is our house
Everybody's laughin, there's cash in large amounts
They tappin glasses, toutin it's a family thing
Catch a case won't nobody in the family sing
That's what they think, all along they all was wrong
It was a dude with a device strapped to him recordin
every convo that they had, where they sellin, where they scorin
Dude got knocked before but said he got off with a warnin
And they ain't get the message 'til the next mornin
When detectives stormed in the door, arrest 'em and took 'em all in
Now what they wanna know is who put the call in
Toss him off the bridge and turn his kids to orphans
Oh Lady,Since you walked out of my life
It feels like the world is just caving in on me
Damn, I cant live in these four walls all alone
And you know how much I love you
And how much I wanna hold you
How could you do this to me
Girl since you closed the door in my face
Its been like a dark hall that has no end
I'm looking at this bottle
Gonna drink it till its gone
You might as well say this is the end
Dont know what I'm gonna do
I don't know what I'm gone do without you baby
I don't know how I'm gone live without you lady
My life just ain't nothin without you by my side
It feels like suicide
Feels like I'm on a plane ride
Facing its final hour
I'm goin blind and I cant see
In front of the judge facing the death penalty
Lock and throw away the key
Cant you see
I cant think, I cant sleep, I cant eat, feel so weak
I need you to rescue me
Take me from this misery
I don't know what I'm gone do without you baby
I don't know how I'm gone live without you lady
My life just ain't nothin without you by my side
It feels like suicide
It wont be long before I go down
I need you girl to come around
I don't know how long it will be
Wont somebody come see about me
Im on my knees praying to you
Gonna do something that I should not do
I just cant take this pain
I don't know what I'm gone do without you baby
I don't know how I'm gone live without you lady
My life just ain't nothin without you by my side
It feels like suicide
I don't know what I'm gone do without you baby
I don't know how I'm gone live without you lady
My life just ain't nothin without you by my side
It feels like suicide

I know I haven't been my sunny self these days
But that don't mean you have to go & hide the razor blades
So thank you for your good intention
But I don't need this intervention
Would you please just go away?
I'm not suicidal
I'm not in denial
I'm not not really feeling that bad (I'm not)
Just wait & we'll find out
Everything I whined about
Losing the illusions I have
I'm just a little sad
I'm just a little sad
I'm just a little sad
Why don't we say
I'm goin' through a phase
And that I got a lot of stuff to reevaluate
But I am sure that my condition (I'm sure)
Well in through that can just listen (You just listen)
I'm asking you to go away
I'm not suicidal
I'm not in denial (I'm not in denial)
I'm not not really feeling that bad
Just wait & we'll find out
Everything I whined about
Losing the illusions I have
I'm just a little sad (I'm Just A little Sad)
I'm just a little sad
I'm just a little sad
(You're not really that bad)
I can't believe that you're
You're still standing here (what are you doing here?)
I shoulda locked the door
You shoulda disappeared
Too late (too late)
Just don't look at me that way
I'm not suicidal
I'm not in denial
I'm not really feeling that bad (Yeah)
Just wait & we'll find out
Everything I whined about
Losing the illusions I have
I'm just a little sad
I'm just a little sad
I'm just a little sad
I'm just a little sad
It used to be a dirty word
Something I would never say
But now when I take a look at the world
There couldn't be a better way
I killed my mother when I was ten
I fucked my sister with vaseline
Hung my daddy with a telephone wire
Everybody thinks I'm going crazy
'Cause I don't even sleep
They say I'm lookin weak
But everything they say is true
Girl I can't make it without you
And I don't know which way to go
Up or down, fast or slow
So I think it's time for me to go away
And I know it sounds crazy
But your not my lady anymore
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide (oh)
Until you took your love away (way)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride (lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (love away)
If I die I know I'd still look over you
Lovin you, forever and forever, no need to
Heaven is not that far away
Heaven is not to far away
I can still see your precious face
Said I might have been a fool, think this way would make you gladder
When I look down on you I can see I made you sad
It's too late for me to change it
Only God can explain it
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride (I never thought)
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (til you took my love away)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
(yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Until you took your love away
I never thought that I would feel this way
(never thought I'd feel this way, never never never never)
I never thought anyone could turn my sun away (oh, oh, oh)
Until I fell in love with you
(I fell in love with you baby)
How could you leave me all so smooth
Knowing girl that I'd never have you
I never thought
I never thought (never thoguht)
I'd lose my pride (I would lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (oh, oh, oh)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away(way)
I never thought (my baby)
I never thought
I'd lose my pride (I'd lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide(I never thought)
Until you took your love away
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Sinking I am sinking
Falling I am falling
Drowning I am drowning
Floating in mid air
It's just dragging me down
Faster always faster
There is no way out
There is no way out
No way out
I'm caught in this world pool
Spinning I am spinning
I have seen it all
I have seen it all
Seen it all
From: In The Shadow Of The Angel
[Intro: Vinnie Paz]
Yeah, Vinnie Paz, baby, they call me Louie Dogs
Jedi Mind Tricks, Philly, Italiano mobbin' on you
[Verse 1: Vinnie Paz]
This is murder rap, I'll burn his back and push your sternum back
And have the doctor cover your head just like a turban wrap
A certain fact, you'll be prayin' on a Persian mat
Or hopin' Jesus or the police's bring the person back
I'm not the type of mutha fucka that's concerned with that
I only been in love once, then I learned from that
A ride or die bitch, said she'd never turn her back
Take these bullets with you to Hell, you dirty rat
Speakin' to me sideways, you get hurt for that
You gonna make me bring the Hologramic verses back
I'll put my fist into the ground, that's where the earth is cracked
Love is gone inside my heart, now it's a purplish black
You a clown rapper, just a circus act
But Vinnie rap like when fifty fuckin' Kurds attack
Who your group, daddy? I ain't never heard of that
Vinnie Paz, Hologram, where the purple at, fuckin' maggots, yeah
[Hook: Vinnie Paz w/KRS-One sample]
We gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off
It's a Suicide if you feel we soft
We the truth inside, if you feel you lost
And the truth don't lie, 'cause we still the boss
We gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off
It's a Suicide if you feel we soft
We the truth inside, if you feel you lost
And the truth don't lie, 'cause we still the boss
[Verse 2: Vinnie Paz]
Yeah, the heavy metal king, my lyrical an incredible thing
And I'm the forces in the four-chord pendulum swing
And anyway you wanna look at it, I send pain
And now they got you in the third density end game
That's why these men came, we rap saviors
Who tryin' to waken you from your spiritual laziness
I'm thinkin' outside the box from now on
Like different ways that I can kill the cop from now on
During day is when I used to sell boom to the tenants
And at night with dark shinin' and hallucinogenics
That's when I let the fight in me pass through
And when I let the spiritual light in me pass through
I guess this just somethin' that come when you grown
Like the positive and negative that come with the throne
But, fuck it, I'm stone, Pazienza the great wall
I'll be back, but now I'm drinkin' my 8 Ball
[Hook: Vinnie Paz w/KRS-One sample]
We gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off
It's a Suicide if you feel we soft
We the truth inside, if you feel you lost
And the truth don't lie, 'cause we still the boss
We gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off
It's a..."Suicide is a Suicide"
[Verse 3: Vinnie Paz]
Yeah, I'm a new disease, drinkin' a 40, rockin' Judas Priest
I'm strong as ?, put you in your blueish fleece
You never see a pig around me like a Jewish feast
And every single fuckin' member in my crew a beast
But y'all should know by now the type of shit I'm on
Like, does the New Testament contradict the Qu'ran?
Does every Muslim in the world come equipped with a bomb?
Does every rap video have a chick in a thong?
I don't know if we livin' no more
I don't know if Pazienza even driven no more
Uppercut, right cross on the tip of the jaw
He a crumb, daddy, dump a fuckin' clip in the boy
And the man is the offspring of the weak
Like the lamb is the offspring of the sheep
We gonna grind 'til we seein' the fame
With a stronghold baby, 'cause I'm bleedin' the game
[Outro: Vinnie Paz w/KRS-One sample]
We gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off
Ha, ha, Louie Dogs, Jedi Mind Tricks
We the truth inside, if you feel you lost
Enemy of Mankind on the track, what's the deal, baby?
We gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off
Vocab, where you at? Warchild, my man
We the truth inside, if you feel you lost
My brother Stoupe, that's how we get down
It's murder rap, yeah, they call me Vinnie Paz
Louie Dogs, it's dirty, baby, it's our fuckin' year
I'm tryin' to shine, baby, tryin' to feed the fam
suicide suicide
suicide suicide
homicide homicide
homicide homicide
runnin outta time losin my mind
hate this place feel like diein
brains steady flyin all over the place
dont wanna live written on my face
gotta get up outta here gotta go
yes i know where im gonna go
hot ice cold where they take souls
satan rule the land been a long road
i bet you wonder why im sayin these things
lost my job got no change
car got stolen bills backin up
kids hungry and im startin to feel the pain
tired of the world tired of groupie girls
brains startin to scream thoughts in this world
if i have to face another hater ima pull out the motherfuckin Mossberg pump
to your dome yea da boy gone
off of the map cap been blown
how ya like me now hatin asshole?
my lifes fucked thats fo sho
if you wanna know yes i tell ya
how it goes yes i tell ya
but you gotta stay tuned to the zone
too hear what happened to the big failure
its the last straw for me to fall
i cant sleep cant see at all
done smoke a pound drank a pint of syrup
mixed 30 rolls with tylonal
bout to fly away out this bitch
have dreams but i cant get rich
too many problems in my life now to be worried bout stackin chips
moms sick as fuck dad goin crazy girlfriend sayin we havin another baby
i cant afford the 2 that i got but you know i love them 2 little ladies
thats why it hurt to say goodbye
i cant save it dont know why
people say well you have to try
let the mothersuckers live this lie
popped a hundred pills eyes are closed
heart is pumpin body gettin cold
no cell phone noone knows where im at thats what i want
breathin gettin hard death gettin close
creepin up on the devils back bone
times ran out so has my liquor
As my bones creak and my veins scream
While my spirit breaks I hear you calling me
As my heart aches and my hands shake
While my mind fades from these dark days
In the valley where I come from
everybody watches the blood run
No one will lend you a knife or a gun
But they'll cut your wrists
and hang you by the neck
I like your suicide
You show up in the middle of the night
Blood drippin from your wrists
Pills on your tongue and a gun in your hand
A rope around your neck
I hope god is your friend
Are you coming to the nightmare tonight
The world is out that you're ready to try
Don't bring a partner... you just come alone
Tell your folks you're not coming home...
Who's gonna notice as you walk on by
Who really cares if you live or die
and who's gonna miss you as you walk on by
..Have you ever tried suicide...
Goodbye is all you need say
You don't want to see another light of day
Your feeling dirty... cus you've been used
Nobody ever really loved you...
Who's gonna notice as you walk on by
Who really cares if you live or die
and who's gonna miss you as you walk on by
..Have you ever tried suicide...
Write your letter... but write it in blood
Your all alone... there is no god
Your feeling scared, stop running away
Nobody wanted you anyway...
Who's gonna notice as you walk on by
Who really cares if you live or die
and who's gonna miss you as you walk on by
..Have you ever tried suicide...
Come take my hand... come dance with me
Take just one step and you'll be free
You'll see no lies in these blood red eyes
You don't need to dream when you dancing in fire
Drop that rhythm and you unwind
Keep that feeling and you step in time
All too pretty for a real life
Suicide
Drop that rhythm and you unwind
Keep that feeling and you step in time
All too pretty for a real life
Suicide
Suicide
Slip 'n' slide
Your eyes are wide
Tongue-tied
You slip 'n' slide
Shut tight
Slip 'n' slide
Read the line
The underlined
Slow down
Ease your mind
Time to find
Another ride
Another ride
Drop that rhythm and you unwind
Keep that feeling and you step in time
All too pretty for a real life
Suicide
Drop that rhythm and you unwind
Keep that feeling and you step in time
All too pretty for a real life
Suicide
Suicide
Look right
Slip 'n' slide
Time flies
You slip 'n' slide
Leave now
Be left behind
Time to find
Another ride
Slow down
Ease your mind
Time to find
Another ride
Another ride
Drop that rhythm and you unwind
Keep that feeling and you step in time
All too pretty for a real life
Suicide

Suicide
I never meant for you to leave and go far away
And I hate that I caused you so much pain
I'm hurting now
Everywhere I go, I'm facing dark clouds
Barely holding on, I'm fading out
I pushed love far away
It has traveled further than I can go
I committed suicide
Ever since she left me it feels like my life is reckless out of control
I committed suicide
I'm cursed without a conscience and I'm dying cause my guardian angel is gone
I've committed suicide
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
Committed suicide (whoo-oh)
I just jumped off a bridge and lost the better half of me
Turned my back on love
And I feel like a bird without a wing (who-ooh)
Oh I'm hurting now
Wish I could go back and slow time down
I would turn that frown into a smile
I wish I could show you how much I've changed
I'd do anything to get it back
Committed suicide
Ever since she left me it feels like my life is reckless out of control
I committed suicide
I'm cursed without a conscience and I'm dying cause my guardian angel is gone
I've committed suicide
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
Committed suicide (whoo-oh)
I regret the day she left me behind
Why did I waste our precious time
How can I betray the gift that god has given to me (oh no)
Committed suicide
Ever since she left me it feels like my life is reckless out of control
I committed suicide
I'm cursed without a conscience and I'm dying cause my guardian angel is gone
I've committed suicide
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic... (whoo-oh)
Committed suicide (whoo-oh)
I regret the day she left me behind
Why did I waste our precious time
How does it feel to be alone
How does it feel to be stoned
Always high on your fable
You got no love in your bones
Going up on a suicide ride
Two lost diamonds in the sky
My love used to be alive
Going up on a suicide run
Everybody's gonna get 'em one
A hundred virgins in the sun
How does it feel cold hearted
(so cold hearted)
How does it to be numb
(so cold hearted)
How did it feel when it started
(so cold hearted)
And the end had begun
Going up on a suicide run
Everybody's gonna get 'em one
A hundred virgins in the sun
Going up on a suicide ride
Two lost diamonds in the sky
My love used to be alive
My love used to be alive
Everybody thinks I'm going crazy
'Cause I don't even sleep
They say I'm lookin weak
But everything they say is true
Girl I can't make it without you
And I don't know which way to go
Up or down, fast or slow
So I think it's time for me to go away
And I know it sounds crazy
But your not my lady anymore
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide (oh)
Until you took your love away (way)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride (lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (love away)
If I die I know I'd still look over you
Lovin you, forever and forever, no need to
Heaven is not that far away
Heaven is not to far away
I can still see your precious face
Said I might have been a fool, think this way would make you gladder
When I look down on you I can see I made you sad
It's too late for me to change it
Only God can explain it
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride (I never thought)
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (til you took my love away)
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
(yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Until you took your love away
I never thought that I would feel this way
(never thought I'd feel this way, never never never never)
I never thought anyone could turn my sun away (oh, oh, oh)
Until I fell in love with you
(I fell in love with you baby)
How could you leave me all so smooth
Knowing girl that I'd never have you
I never thought
I never thought (never thoguht)
I'd lose my pride (I would lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away (oh, oh, oh)
I never thought

Until you took your love away(way)
I never thought (my baby)

I'd lose my pride (I'd lose my pride)
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide(I never thought)
Until you took your love away
I never thought
I never thought
I'd lose my pride
I'd lose my pride
I never thought of suicide
Until you took your love away
All the pictures in my head
Make me fall in the dark tunnel
Like a carroussel, carroussel
When someone is laying cold
In the grave while everyone else
They are smiling around me
It drives me crazy
So fucking crazy
Suicide
It must be heaven to me
Suicide
Let me fall into your relief
I'm not good for any at all
Broke the mirror on the wall
Cut myself to feel alright
I smear my own blood in the face
Watch the big disgrace
Covered with my own pain
It drives me crazy
So fucking crazy
Suicide
It must be heaven to me
Suicide
Let me fall into your relief
My wings embrace the sky
Demons are the only thing
Left behind with a grin
Demon takes the angel's breath
To an end in silence
The angel cries tears in blood
As they disappear into the sky
It drives me crazy
So fucking crazy
Suicide
It must be heaven to me
Suicide
Is this just a preparation
For what is soon to come?
Another life might be waiting
For me to enter the tomb
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
This life is filled with ignorance
We are all born to die
No one knows what is to come
No one can see beyond life and time
Enter the realm of death
Sacrifice your life
To fill the emptiness
With knowledge from the other side
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Solution suicide
I am not the only one
I am dying to find out
I want my life to rest
Wohoww, woohoww, wohoww
I never meant for you to leave & go far away (no)
And I hate that I caused you so much pain

Committed suicide (whow)
I regret the day she left me behind
Why did I waste our precious time
A blob of deep red seeping from my arm.
So pretty.
Don't worry, I won't do any lasting harm.
I'm sensible.
The cuts get deeper as the days go by.
It doesn't hurt.
The more blood lost, the less tears cried.
I never cry now.
People are saying I'm going mad.
I'm not.
Maybe I am, is it normal to feel this bad?
Of course.
This time is really confusing me.
Don't panic.
You can't escape from it; there's nowhere to flee.
So fight it.
Scars spread ever closer to my wrist.
What's happening?
I know what to do, I can't miss.
No, don't.
Searing pain shooting up my spine.
Make it stop.
A dizzy head â- but I'm feeling fine.
Don't fall.
There's a lot of red on the floor.
Like a carpet.
I don't think I can stand up anymore.
Then sit.
Head spinning crazily, I can hear bells.
Getting quiet now.
Is this it? Am I freed from my living hell?
. . .
Hey there killer, where you goin'?
I see you got a gun and your anger is showing
What you about to do? Gonna kill her man?
I know that you are, but you don't really understand
You wanna be scary, wanna freak her out
Knock on her door, and put the gun in your own mouth
Let her try to stop you, it doesn't work
Turn so she can see you, and make the back of your head squirt!
Before you go and commit, a homicide!
Do us all a favor, you should try suicide!
If your gonna commit, a homicide
Spare us all the drama, you should try suicide!
Hey there killer, where you been?
Plotting out the murder on the perfect ten
Wanna make scary on her, I assume
Break in her house and hang yourself in her bedroom
Hey there killer, your unstoppable
Out of control and yo, she's irresistible
Go to her job and drink some gasoline
Swallow a match, and show her just what she means to ya!
Before you go and commit, a homicide!
Do us all a favor, you should try suicide!
If your gonna commit, a homicide
Spare us all the drama, you should try suicide!
Suicide
Before you go and commit, a homicide! (killer)
Do us all a favor, you should try suicide! (come on and try it)
If your gonna commit, a homicide (try it)
Spare us all the drama, you should try suicide! (suicide)
Before you go and commit, a homicide! (killer)
Do us all a favor, you should try suicide! (come on and try it)
If your gonna commit, a homicide (try it)
Spare us all the drama, you should try suicide! (suicide)
Please don't commit, a homicide! (killer)
Do us all a favor, you should try suicide! (come on and try it)
If your gonna commit, a homicide (try it)
Have you ever thought about committing suicide?
Leaving the world behind?
The sorrow, the pain and the fear
of the unknown future
Delivering from any human needs and pressure
in just one second
Your cry for help is lost in this lonely world
in which you are completely alone
Nobody helps you when you're feeling down
and the loneliness is breaking your heart
It would be so simple to go down
the stairs of the final way
But the fear of the unknown world beyond,
of having nothing, of being nothing
Keeps you on your designated way
and takes away your longing for self-destruction
That is why
I knew a girl with a mixed up head
I never thought she would wind up dead
She never meant to take her life
She went too far this time with a knife
Don’t you know that she’s a suicide?
Don’t you know that she’s a suicide?
No one saw inside her head
All they wanted was a body in bed
She worked with people all of the time
She watched her lolly, she lost her mind
Don’t you know that she’s a suicide?
Don’t you know that she’s a suicide?
Suicide
Why?
Suicide
Tried so many times before
People just didn’t listen no more
“Notice me, help me” she cried
Slashed her wrists and then she died
Don’t you know that she’s a suicide?
Don’t you know that she’s a suicide?
Now you know that she’s a suicide
Now you know that she’s a suicide
Suicide
Why?

[Scarface]
I took my chances, but I did my dirt
And my adivce to any nigga if you crime, then you do the works
Its givin up and step the fuck back
Cuz in this game you can fame
You gotta start dumpin these niggas off your nut-sack
Im just a nigga out the hood tryna have thangs
When I got up on my feet and screamed the brand change
And your excuse was that the money did came
My excuse was that you was to blame
Simple ??, got to show my homies love tho
I just don't fuck around with niggas that I don't know
And you can take that how you wanna take it
Im from these motherfuckin streets,
and the same rules apply in this game
you never break it
With my motherfucking luck, fallin over the craps
And you niggas who wanna try to attack
We steady dyin over dumb shit, And me im steady losin my sleep
Cuz niggas aint familiar with the rules of the street, and its a
[Chorus]
Suicide, its a Suicide
Suicide, its a Suicide
its a, Suicide, its a Suicide
Suicide, its a Suicide
[Scarface]
To my niggas on the street cryin then (watch them haters)
If im sittin on the side-line (get your paper)
Too many niggas complaining pointin fingers at the problem
Thats why I hate my baby momma
im just a nigga from the very bottom
skippin classes, throwin 8-balls into white powder
tryna get it, while the motherfuckers gettin good
wit possibilities of gettin out my neighborhood
don't get me wrong, I had them dreams too
But the only thing you do, is get your cream too
Get your motherfucking cream fool
Niggas aint know about the Ange and the Alicks
First you get in, then you get out, you stuck in this game
[Chorus x3]
[Scarface]
Now when its over don't nobody cry
Just enjoy while you live life, cuz everybody got to die
When you see me i'll be hella high, beatin corners wit my top down
Checkin out the chasers in the sky, Shootin paper clips at Jupiter
The more I lie, its like im gettin stupider and stupider
Tryna make the best, out of a fucked up desicion
Im just a nigga with a vision, which is to get up, get out
Gettin my props, tryna stay away from these bitches that jock dick
And move enough to move on, gotta stay true to it
Thats just the way you gotta do it
And these niggas here is really, dazed and don't give a fuck when you for real
And you like it rough, nigga what, the fuck
Know what im sayin is real, now back the fuck up for you get killed
Cuz its a..
[Chorus x3]
Suicide
I took the pills that made me fast to speed my brain future is past
Rapid pulsations upon my heart pulsing my blood from part to part
Chorus:
Suicide I'm still living suicide I'm still giving
To suicide I bring the gas to suicide I give my ass
Open the can I huff the fume ah, to me it is perfume
Chorus
To suicide I swear an oath the human race I do loathe
Now I drive reckless speed with suicide I take the lead
Chorus
I wish I had never been born my own past hear me mourn
Arm in arm I walk with death crazed words on my last breath
Chorus
Hey whatcha' say,
An empty day
Won't you be brave
You're everywhere
Oh you disappeared though
A grave mistake
For Heaven's sake
Ya did it all for Jesus
Did ya think it all would please us?
If you step outside
I'll warn you from your suicide
This pain in your eyes (?? pain in your ass?? heh)
Don't do anything
Just pray for something better
There's always something better
Oooooh, take you home
Hear me
Trespassing
Hey, whatcha say (what you say)
Do ya think you could stay (it's a beautiful day)
Did you do it all for Jesus?
Did ya think it all would please us?
If you step outside
I'll warn you from your suicide
This pain in your eyes (??)
Don't do anything
Just pray for something better
There's always something better
Well I can feel it inside
You got charm (??) and we both know why
Don't turn your back to the sun,
Cause baby babe your gonna burn
My baby's gonna burn down yeah
She tried to tell me... you know
Its kinda weird she's got her mom's...
Thinking back i don't know if it was the right thing to do,
But...
It wasn't enough to hold her hand
It's freaked up ??
If you step outside
I'll warm you from your suicide
This pain in your eyes (??)
Don't do anything
Just pray for something better
There's always something better
Take you on ...
I can feel it inside
You've got time to make up your mind
Turn your back to the sun
Manic depression, your mind's a blank
Ready and waiting to die
No future, your life's a waste
Which method of suicide to try?
Hanging is quick and easy
No mess and no blood to see
Slashed wrists, no reverse
Which way will it be?
[Chorus:]
Suicide, you'll take your life
Death comes so quick
Suicide, you're on your own
With your life you are sick
Drowning takes its time
You might try to survive
Gassing, slow and cold
Sickness before you die
O.D., slow torment
Torture and pain will increase
Injection, instant death
A second and you are deceased
[Chorus]
You've chosen injection
Needle pierces the skin
Venom flows, it's now too late
A voice screams out from within
A wasted life, a wasted brain
Diseased cells called for the kill
You're on your way to Hell's black gate
Suicide beats life's will
[Repeat first verse]
Blood
It Flows
Free Now
Wrist
Now Slashed
No Pain
Tears
And Blood

Don't dare me dude, I'll do it dude
I'll mix these drinks into a suicide
a suicide? a suicide!
I'll mix those drinks into a suicide
how am I supposed to choose??
I'll just end up confused
I'm so through with it
I think I will commit a suicide
don't dare me dude, I'll do it dude
you cannot make me decide
I refuse to have to choose, I'll mix these drinks into a
All alone, driving down that road
i think im going crazy and my minds about to blow
staring at the sky, makes me think of suicide
well suicide, like a bullet between the eyes
killing time ( killing time) losing my mind ( losing my
mind )
baby dont you know that this aint no crime
staring at the sky, makes me think of suicide
well suicide, like a bullet between the eyes
they wouldnt know, they wouldnt show
oh i can hear them laughing as they finally hit the road
i cant explain, its in my brain
they wouldnt know, they wouldnt show
oh i can hear them laughing as they finally hit the road
i cant explain, its in my brain
yes im gone (yes im gone) ill never survive (ill never
survive)
saw hearses on its way its gunna take me for a ride
staring at the sky, makes me think of suicide
You know I'm bleedin'
But you're still wonderin' why
You heard me screamin'
Cryin' out just to die
You thought I loved you
But that was all in the past
As I start crawlin'
I don't know if I can last
Pretty soon I'll be gone
On a long one way ride
Tell your friends not to call
Say it was suicide
I thought of hangin'
But I knew it was wrong
Then thought of poison
But what I had wasn't strong
Electrocution
I thought would make me a star
I stood in the rain
With my electric guitar
Pretty soon I'll be gone
On a long one way ride
Tell your friends not to call
Say it was suicide
I then decided
And put a knife in my heart
It was the answer
But it was only a start
I found a shotgun
And held it close to my heart
And pulled the trigger
Just to be sure I was dead
Pretty soon I'll be gone
On a long one way ride
Tell your friends not to call
Look at you mother fuckin people dissin me cause im bad
I wish I woulda had a better life to fuckin live and its sad
I lost my soul to the world and I feel i'll never get it back
The only mother fuckin thing for me to do is just rap
But when I die im gunna laugh in the eyes of you people that made me cry
I feel im only on my way to hell because I lied
I got tied up in a relationship with a bitch that got me pissed
Just because I didnt trust in god and shit
That aint no reason to leave me and start suckin his dick
But you did and its over with i got another chick
I hope your ass rots in fuckin hell for what you did
Chorus
If any part of me lives forever let it be my soul
If you believe in any part of me let it be my soul
The only part of me that believes in god is my soul
Diss every part of my body except my mother fuckin soul
Verse 2
Who needs to believe in stupid shit such as god
This is why, people have mother fuckin crazy minds
They feel if they do anything wrong that there gunna die
And go to hell, you mother fuckin people need the help cant ya tell
There aint a devil if there was i'd be with him alredy
If you were me, you would see how I feel just bet me
You mother fuckers dont hafta diss me for my beliefs
Its just the way I feel you dont hafta give me greef
If you got beef, take it to the motherfuckin streets
And we'll see, which mother fucker leaves with bloody teeth
Please dont tempt me
I really dont need to have you call the police on me
Verse 3
My thots as a child were pretty wacked ill admit
But shit, you christians dont hafta throw a fuckin fit
Everytime I say god, jesus, and the divil dont exist
I really dont see why it gets you pissed
Maybe I shuld say the fuck with everyone and leave
Get away from all my problems, and once again be free
Fuck that give me a knife tonight is the last night of my life
Someone give me a ride fuck it ill ride my bike
Wheres the best place in the world to commit suicide
I gotta lot of pride but this dike has pushed me too far
Fuck you all i dont care anymore, see ya tommorow
You can all stand over my grave and pray for the lord to come and take me away
Sorry fellas its too late they alredy closed the gates
To heaven so looks like im on my way to hell
Ima do what the fuck, I wanna do with myself
Chorus 2x

Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, "to kill oneself") is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Suicide is often committed out of despair, the cause of which can attributed to a mental disorder such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, alcoholism, or drug abuse.[1] Stress factors such as financial difficulties or troubles with interpersonal relationships often play a significant role.[2]
Over one million people die by suicide every year. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that it is the 13th leading cause of death worldwide[3] and the National Safety Council rates it sixth in the United States.[4] It is a leading cause of death among teenagers and adults under 35.[5][6] The rate of suicide is far higher in men than in women, with males worldwide three to four times more likely to kill themselves than females.[7][8] There are an estimated 10 to 20 million non-fatal attempted suicides every year worldwide.[9]
Views on suicide have been influenced by broader cultural views on existential themes such as religion, honor, and the meaning of life. The Abrahamic religions traditionally consider suicide an offense towards God due to the belief in the sanctity of life. It was often regarded as a serious crime and that view remains commonplace in modern Western thought. However, before the rise of Christianity, suicide was not seen as automatically immoral in ancient Greek and Roman culture. Conversely, during the samurai era in Japan, seppuku was respected as a means of atonement for failure or as a form of protest. Sati is a Hindu funeral practice, now outlawed, in which the widow was expected to immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre, either willingly or under pressure from the family and society.[10] In the 20th and 21st centuries, suicide in the form of self-immolation has been used as a medium of protest, and the form of kamikaze and suicide bombings as a military or terrorist tactic.
Medically assisted suicide (euthanasia, or the right to die) is a controversial issue in modern ethics. The defining characteristic is the focus on people who are terminally ill, in extreme pain, or possessing (actual or perceived) minimal quality of life resulting from an injury or illness.
Self-sacrifice on behalf of another is not necessarily considered suicide; the subjective goal is not to end one's own life, but rather to save the life of another. However, in Émile Durkheim's theory, such acts are termed "altruistic suicide."[11]

Classification[link]
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Euthanasia | Individuals who wish to end their own lives may enlist the assistance of another party to achieve death. The other person, usually a family member or physician, may help carry out the act when the individual lacks the physical capacity to do so alone, even if supplied with the means. Assisted suicide is a contentious moral and political issue in many countries, as seen in the scandal surrounding Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a US medical practitioner who supported euthanasia and was convicted of having helped patients end their own lives, for which he served an eight year prison term.[12] |
| Murder–suicide | A murder–suicide is an act in which an individual kills one or more other persons immediately before or at the same time as him or herself. The motivation for the murder in murder–suicide can be purely criminal in nature or be perceived by the perpetrator as an act of care for loved ones in the context of severe depression. |
| Suicide attack | A suicide attack is an act in which an attacker perpetrates an act of violence against others, typically to achieve a military or political goal, which simultaneously results in his or her own death. Suicide bombings are often regarded as an act of terrorism by the targeted community. Historical examples include the assassination of Czar Alexander II, the kamikaze attacks launched by Japanese air pilots during the Second World War, and larger scale attacks, such as the September 11th attacks. |
| Mass suicide | Some suicides are performed under social pressure or coordinated among a group of individuals. Mass suicides can take place with as few as two people, often referred to as a suicide pact. An example of a larger group is the 1978 "Jonestown" cult suicide, in which 918 members of the Peoples Temple, an American cult led by Jim Jones, ended their lives by drinking grape Flavor Aid laced with cyanide.[13][14][15] Over 10,000 Japanese civilians committed suicide in the last days of the Battle of Saipan in 1944, some jumping from "Suicide Cliff" and "Banzai Cliff".[16] |
| Suicide pact | A suicide pact describes the suicides of two or more individuals in an agreed upon plan. The plan may be to die together, or separately and closely timed. Suicide pacts are generally distinct from mass suicides in that the latter refers to a larger number of people who kill themselves together for a common ideological reason, often within a religious, political, military or paramilitary context. In contrast, suicide pacts typically involve small groups of more intimately related people (commonly spouses, romantic partners, family members, or friends), whose motivations are intensely personal and individual. |
| Defiance or protest | Suicide is sometimes committed as an act of defiance or political protest such as the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia whose treatment at the hands of the authorities led to a revolt that overthrew the ruling regime and touched off the Arab Spring. During the sectarian strife in Northern Ireland known as "The Troubles" a hunger strike was launched by the provisional IRA, demanding that their prisoners be reclassified as prisoners of war rather than as terrorists. The infamous 1981 hunger strikes, led by Bobby Sands resulted in 10 deaths. The cause of death was recorded as "starvation, self-imposed" rather than suicide by the coroner; this was modified to simply "starvation" on the death certificates after protest from the deceased striker's families.[17] |
| Dutiful suicide | Dutiful suicide is an act of fatal self violence at one's own hands done in the belief that it will secure a greater good, rather than to escape harsh or impossible conditions. It can be voluntary, to relieve some dishonor or punishment, or imposed by threats of death or reprisals on one's family or reputation as in the forced suicide of German general Erwin Rommel during World War II. He was found to have foreknowledge of the July 20 Plot on Hitler's life and was threatened with public trial, execution, and reprisals on his family unless he took his own life.[18] It is a traditional practice in some cultures, such as the heavily ritualized Japanese custom of seppuku. |
| Escape | In extenuating situations where continuing to live would be intolerable, some people use suicide as a means of escape. Some inmates in Nazi concentration camps are known to have killed themselves by deliberately touching the electrified fences.[19] Over 200,000 debt-ridden farmers in India have committed suicide since 1997.[20] |
Risk factors[link]
Clinical studies have shown that underlying mental disorders are present in 87% to 98% of suicides, however, there are a number of other factors are correlated with suicide risk, including drug addiction, availability of means, family history of suicide, or previous head injury.[22][23]
Socio-economic factors such as unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and discrimination may trigger suicidal thoughts.[24] Poverty may not be a direct cause, but it can increase the risk of suicide, as impoverished individuals are a major risk group for depression.[25] A history of childhood physical or sexual abuse[26] or time spent in foster care.[27][28][29]
Hopelessness, the feeling that there is no prospect of improvement in one's situation, is a strong indicator of suicide. One study found that among a group of people previously hospitalized for suicidal tendencies, 91% of those who scored a 10 or higher on the Beck Hopelessness Scale would eventually commit suicide.[30] Perceived burdensomeness[31] a feeling that one's existence is a burden to others such as family members is often coupled with hopelessness as are the feelings of loneliness,[32] either subjectively (i.e., the feeling), or objectively (i.e., living alone or being without friends and lacking social support[33]) and the feeling of not belonging[34] as strong mediators of suicidal ideation.
Advocacy of suicide has been cited as a contributing factor. Intelligence may also be a factor. Initially proposed as a part of an evolutionary psychology explanation, which posited a minimum intelligence required for one to commit suicide, the positive correlation between IQ and suicide has been replicated in a number of studies.[35][36][37][38][39] Some scientists doubt, however, that intelligence can be a cause of suicide,[40] and intelligence is no longer a predictor of suicide when regressed with national religiousness and perceptions of personal health.[41] According to the American Psychiatric Association, "religiously unaffiliated subjects had significantly more lifetime suicide attempts and more first-degree relatives who committed suicide than subjects who endorsed a religious affiliation."[42] Moreover, individuals with no religious affiliation had fewer moral objections to suicide than believers.[42]
One study found that a lack of social support, a deficit in feelings of belongingness and living alone were crucial predictors of a suicide attempt.[43] One study found that among prison inmates, suicide was more likely among inmates who had committed a violent crime.[44]
Medical conditions[link]
In various studies a significant association was found between suicidality and underlying medical conditions including chronic pain,[45] mild brain injury, (MBI) or traumatic brain injury (TBI).[46][47] The prevalence of increased suicidality persisted after adjusting for depressive illness and alcohol abuse. In patients with more than one medical condition the risk was particulaly high, suggesting a need for increased screening for suicidality in general medical settings.[48][49]
Sleep disturbances such as insomnia[50] and sleep apnea have been cited in various studies as risk indicators for depression and suicide. In some instances the sleep disturbance itself may be the risk factor independent of depression.[51]
A careful medical evaluation is recommended for all people presenting with psychiatric symptoms as many medical conditions present with psychiatric symptomatology. The major medical conditions presenting with psychiatric symptoms in order of frequency were infectious, pulmonary, thyroid, diabetic, hematopoietic, hepatic and CNS diseases.[52] Conservative estimates are that 10% of all psychological symptoms may be due to undiagnosed medical conditions,[53] with the results of one study suggesting that about 50% of individuals with a serious mental illness "have general medical conditions that are largely undiagnosed and untreated and may cause or exacerbate psychiatric symptoms".[54][55]
Mental disorders[link]
Certain mental disorders are often present at the time of suicide. It is estimated that from 87% to 98% of suicides are committed by people with some type of mental disorder.[56] Broken down by type: mood disorders are present in 30%, substance abuse in 18%, schizophrenia in 14%, and personality disorders in 13% of suicides.[57] About 5% of people with schizophrenia die of suicide.[58] Major depression and alcoholism are the specific disorders most strongly correlated with suicide risk. Risk is greatest during the early stages of illness among people with mood disorders, such as major depression or bipolar disorder.[59]
Depression is among the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorders;[60][61] increasingly diagnosed across various segments of the worldwide population.[62][63] 17.6 million Americans are affected each year; approximately 1 in 6 people. Within the next twenty years, depression is expected to become the leading cause of disability in developed nations and the second leading cause of disability worldwide.[64] While the psychological and medical communities no longer classify acts of self-harm as suicide attempts, recent research has indicated that the presence of self-injurious behavior may be correlated to increased suicide risk.[65] While there is a correlation between self-harm and suicide, it is not believed to be causal; both are most likely a joint effect of depression.[66] This may also be classified as deliberate self-harm and is most common in younger people, but has been increasing in recent years in people of all ages.[67]
Most people who attempt suicide do not complete the act on their first attempt. However, a history of suicide attempts is correlated with increased risk of eventual completion of a suicide.[68]
Biology[link]
Some mental disorders identified as risk factors for suicide often may have an underlying biological basis.[69][70] Serotonin is a vital brain neurotransmitter; in those who have attempted suicide it has been found that they have lower serotonin levels, and individuals who have completed suicide have the lowest levels.[71][72] This dysregulation in the serotonin pathway has been identified, in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. This alteration in the brain has been found to be a risk factor for suicide independent of a history of a major depression "indicating that it is involved in the predisposition to suicide in many psychiatric disorders."[73][74][75]
There is evidence that there may be an underlying neurobiological basis for suicide risk independent of the inheritable genetic factors responsible for the major psychiatric disorders associated with suicide.[76] Genetic inheritance accounts for roughly 30–50% of the variance in suicide risk between individuals.[77][78][78] Having a parent who has committed suicide is a strong predictor of suicide attempts.[79][80][81]
Epigenetics, the study of changes in genetic expression in response to environmental factors which do not alter the underlying DNA, may also play a role in determining suicide risk.[82][83][84]
Perceived burdensomeness to others[link]
Several studies have found perceived burdensomeness to others to be a particularly strong risk factor. It also differentiates between attempted vs. completed suicide and predicts lethality of suicide method unlike feelings of hopelessness and emotional pain. Likely related to this, completed suicides are characterized by altruistic feelings while non-lethal self-injuries are characterized by feelings of anger or self-punishment.[85]
An evolutionary psychology explanation for this is that suicide may under some circumstances improve inclusive fitness. This may occur if the person committing suicide will not have more children (even if not committing suicide) and takes away resources from relatives by staying alive. An objection is that some suicides, such as healthy adolescents committing suicide, likely do not increase inclusive fitness. One response is that adaptations to the very different ancestral environment may be maladaptive in the current one."[85][86]
Substance abuse[link]
Substance abuse is the second most common risk factor for suicide after major depression and bipolar disorder.[87] Both chronic substance misuse as well as acute substance abuse are associated with suicide.[88] This is attributed to the intoxicating, disinhibiting, and dissociative effects of many psychoactive substances. When combined with personal grief, such as bereavement, the risk of suicide is greatly increased.[89] More than 50% of suicides have some relation to alcohol or drug use and up to 25% of suicides are committed by drug addicts and alcoholics. This figure is even higher with alcohol or drug use among adolescents, playing a role in up to 70% of suicides. It has been recommended that all drug addicts or alcoholics undergo investigation for suicidal thoughts due to their high risk of suicide.[90] An investigation in the New York Prison Service found that 90% of inmates who committed suicide had a history of substance abuse.[91]
| Substance abused | Effects related to suicide |
|---|---|
| Cocaine | Misuse of drugs such as cocaine have a high correlation with suicide. Suicide is most likely to occur during the "crash" or withdrawal phase in chronic cocaine-dependent users. Polysubstance misuse is more often associated with suicide in younger adults, whereas suicide from alcoholism is more common in older adults. In San Diego it was found that 30% of suicides by people under the age of 30 had used cocaine. In New York City in the early 1990s, during the height of a crack epidemic, 1 in 5 people who committed suicide were found to have recently consumed cocaine. The "come down" or withdrawal phase of cocaine use can result in intense, acute depressive symptoms as well as other distressing mental effects, all of which contribute to an increased risk of suicide.[92][93] |
| Methamphetamine | Methamphetamine use has a strong association with depression and suicide as well as a range of other adverse effects on physical and mental health.[94] |
| Opioids | Heroin users have a death rate nearly 13 times that of their non-using peers. Deaths among heroin users attributed to suicide range from 3% to 35%, though determining the difference between a suicide and an accidental overdose can be impossible without evidence of state of mind. Overall, heroin users are 14 times more likely than their non-using peers to die from suicide.[95] Major depressive disorder was found in 25% of entrants to treatment for heroin dependence in Australia.[96] |
| Benzodiazepines | Chronic use or abuse of prescribed benzodiazepines is associated with depression as well as increased suicide risk. Care should be taken when prescribing to at-risk individuals and patient populations.[97][98][99] Depressed adolescents who were taking benzodiazepines were found to have a greatly increased risk of self harm or suicide, though the sample size in this study was too small to provide generalizable conclusions. The effects of benzodiazepines in individuals under the age of 18 is not well understood. Additional caution may be required for depressed adolescents using benzodiazepines.[100] Benzodiazepine dependence often results in an increasingly deteriorating clinical picture which includes social deterioration leading to comorbid alcoholism and drug abuse. Suicide is a common outcome of chronic benzodiazepine dependence. Benzodiazepine misuse or misuse of other CNS depressants increases the risk of suicide in drug misusers.[101][102] 11% of males and 23% of females with a sedative hypnotic misuse habit commit suicide.[103] Benzodiazepine withdrawal also leads to an increased risk of suicide.[104] |
| Cigarettes | There have been various studies showing a positive link between smoking, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.[105][106] In a study conducted among nurses, those smoking between 1 to 24 cigarettes per day had twice the suicide risk; 25 cigarettes or more, 4 times the suicide risk, as compared with those who had never smoked.[107][108] In a study of 300,000 male U.S. Army soldiers, a definitive link between suicide and smoking was observed with those soldiers smoking over a pack a day having twice the suicide rate of non-smokers.[109] |
| Alcohol | Alcohol misuse is associated with a number of mental health disorders, and alcoholics have a very high suicide rate.[110] It has been found that drinking 6 drinks or more per day results in a sixfold increased risk of suicide.[92][93] High rates of major depressive disorder occur in heavy drinkers and those who misuse alcohol. Controversy has previously surrounded whether those who misused alcohol who developed major depressive disorder were self medicating (which may be true in some cases), but recent research has now concluded that chronic excessive alcohol intake itself directly causes the development of major depressive disorder in a significant number of alcoholics.[111] |
Problem gambling[link]
Problem gambling is often associated with increased suicidal ideation and attempts compared to the general population.[112][113][114]
Early onset of problem gambling increases the lifetime risk of suicide.[115] However, gambling-related suicide attempts are usually made by older people with problem gambling.[116] Both comorbid substance use[117][118] and comorbid mental disorders increase the risk of suicide in people with problem gambling.[116]
A 2010 Australian hospital study found that 17% of suicidal patients admitted to the Alfred Hospital's emergency department were problem gamblers.[119]
Media coverage[link]
Main article: Copycat suicide
Various studies have suggested that how the media presents depictions of suicide may have a negative effect[120] and trigger the possibility of suicide contagion also known as the Werther effect, named after the protagonist in Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther who committed suicide.[121][122] This risk is greater in adoloescents who may romantacize death.[123][124][125] It appears that while news media has a significant effect, that of entertainment media is equivocal.[126]
The opposite of the Werther effect is the Papageno effect in which coverage of effective coping mechanisms, coping in adverse circumstances, as covered in the media about suicidal ideation, may have protective effects. The term is based upon a character in Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute named Papageno who fearing the loss of a loved one was going to commit suicide until three boys showed him different ways to cope.[127]
Methods[link]
Main article: Suicide methods
The leading method of suicide varies dramatically between countries. The leading methods in different regions include hanging, pesticide poisoning, and firearms.[128] A 2008 review of 56 countries based on WHO mortality data found that hanging was the most common method in most of the countries,[129] accounting for 53% of the male suicides and 39% of the female suicides.[130] Worldwide 30% of suicides are from pesticides. The use of this method however varies markedly from 4% in Europe to more than 50% in the Pacific region.[131] In the United States 52% of suicides involve the use of firearms.[132] Asphyxiation (such as with a suicide bag) and poisoning are fairly common as well. Together they comprised about 40% of U.S. suicides. Other methods of suicide include blunt force trauma (jumping from a building or bridge, self-defenestrating, stepping in front of a train, or car collision, for example). Exsanguination or bloodletting (slitting one's wrist or throat), intentional drowning, self-immolation, electrocution, and intentional starvation are other suicide methods. Individuals may also intentionally provoke another person into administering lethal action against them, as in suicide by cop.
Whether or not exposure to suicide is a risk factor for suicide is controversial.[133] A 1996 study was unable to find a relationship between suicides among friends,[134] while a 1986 study found increased rates of suicide following the television of news stories regarding suicide.[135]
Prevention[link]
Main article: Suicide prevention
Suicide prevention is a term used for the collective efforts to reduce the incidence of suicide through preventive measures. Various strategies restrict access to the most common methods of suicide, such as firearms or toxic substances like pesticides, and have proved to be effective in reducing suicide rates. Studies supported by empirical data have indicated that adequate prevention, diagnosis and treatment of depression and alcohol and substance abuse can reduce suicide rates, as does follow-up contact with those who have made a suicide attempt.[136] Although crisis hotlines are common there is little evidence to support or refute their effectiveness.[137][138]
The Best Practices Registry (BPR) For Suicide Prevention is a registry of various suicide intervention programs maintained by the American Association of Suicide Prevention. The programs are divided, with those in Section I listing evidence-based programs: interventions which have been subjected to indepth review and for which evidence has demonstrated positive outcomes. Section III programs have been subjected to review.[139][140]
In various countries, individuals who are at imminent risk of harming themselves or others may voluntarily check themselves into a hospital emergency department; this may also be done on an involuntary basis on the referral of various individuals acting in an official capacity such as the police. This is referred to by various names such as being "committed" or "sectioned". They will be placed on suicide watch until an emergency physician or mental health professional determines whether inpatient care at a mental health care facility is warranted and may hold the individual for a period of usually three days duration. A court hearing may be held to determine the individual's competence. In most states, a psychiatrist may hold the person for a specific time period without a judicial order. If the psychiatrist determines the person to be a threat to himself or others, the person may be admitted involuntarily to a psychiatric treatment facility. After this time the person must be discharged or appear in front of a judge.[141]
Screening[link]
The U.S. Surgeon General has suggested that screening to detect those at risk of suicide may be one of the most effective means of preventing suicide in children and adolescents.[142] There are various screening tools in the form of self-report questionnaires to help identify those at risk such as the Beck Hopelessness Scale and Is Path Warm? A number of these self-report questionnaires have been tested and found to be valid for use among adolescents and young adults.[143] There is, however, a high rate of false-positive identification and those deemed to be at risk should ideally have a follow-up clinical interview.[144] The predictive quality of these screening questionnaires has not been conclusively validated, so it is not possible to determine if those identified at risk of suicide will actually commit suicide.[145] Asking about or screening for suicide does not appear to increase the risk.[146]
In approximately 75% of completed suicides the individuals had seen a physician within the year before their death, including 45% to 66% within the prior month. Approximately 33% to 41% of those who completed suicide had contact with mental health services in the prior year, including 20% within the prior month. These studies suggest an increased need for effective screening.[147][148][149][150][151]
Treatment[link]
There are various treatment modalities to reduce the risk of suicide by addressing the underlying conditions causing suicidal ideation, including, depending on case history, medical,[152] pharmacological,[153] and psychotherapeutic talk therapies.[154]
The conservative estimate is that 10% of individuals with psychiatric disorders may have an undiagnosed medical condition causing their symptoms,[155] upwards of 50% may have an undiagnosed medical condition which if not causing is exacerbating their psychiatric symptoms.[156][157] Illegal drugs and prescribed medications may also produce psychiatric symptoms.[158] Effective diagnosis and if necessary medical testing which may include neuroimaging[159] to diagnose and treat any such medical conditions or medication side effects may reduce the risk of suicidal ideation as a result of psychiatric symptoms, most often including depression, which are present in up to 90-95% of cases.[160]
Recent research has shown that treatment with lithium has been effective with lowering the risk of suicide in those with bipolar disorder to the same levels as the general population.[161] Low doses of Lithium with minimal side effects has also proven effective in lowering the suicide risk in those with unipolar depression as well.[162]
There are multiple evidence-based psychotherapeutic talk therapies available to reduce suicidal ideation such as dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) for which multiple studies have reported varying degrees of clinical effectiveness in reducing suicidality. Benefits include a reduction in self-harm behaviours and suicidal ideations.[163][164] Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP) is a form of DBT adapted for adolescents at high risk for repeated suicide attempts.[165]

Worldwide suicide rates have increased by 60% in the past 45 years, mainly in the developing countries and is currently the tenth leading cause of death[1] with about a million people dying by suicide annually, a global mortality rate of 16 suicides per 100,000 people, or a suicide every 40 seconds.[167] According to 2007 data, suicides in the U.S. outnumber homicides by nearly 2 to 1. Suicide ranks as the 11th leading cause of death in the country, ahead of liver disease and Parkinson's.[168]

In the Western world, males die much more often by means of suicide than do females, although females attempt suicide more often. Some medical professionals believe this stems from the fact that males are more likely to end their lives through effective violent means, while women primarily use less severe methods such as overdosing on medications. In most countries, drug overdoses account for about two-thirds of suicides among women and one-third among men.[67]
Alcohol and drug use[link]
In the United States 16.5% of suicides are related to alcohol.[169] Alcoholics are 5 to 20 times more likely to kill themselves, while the misuse of other drugs increases the risk 10 to 20 times. About 15% of alcoholics commit suicide, and about 33% of suicides in the under 35 age group have a primary diagnosis of alcohol or other substance misuse; over 50% of all suicides are related to alcohol or drug dependence. In adolescents alcohol or drug misuse plays a role in up to 70% of suicides.[90][170]
Ethnicity[link]
See also: Finno-Ugrian suicide hypothesis
National suicide rates differ significantly between countries and amongst ethnic groups within countries.[171] For example, in the U.S., non-Hispanic Caucasians are nearly 2.5 times more likely to kill themselves than African Americans or Hispanics.[172]
Social aspects[link]
Legislation[link]
Main article: Suicide legislation
In some jurisdictions, an act or incomplete act of suicide is considered to be a crime. More commonly, a surviving party member who assisted in the suicide attempt will face criminal charges.
In Brazil, if the help is directed to a minor, the penalty is applied in its double and not considered as homicide. In Italy and Canada, instigating another to suicide is also a criminal offense. In Singapore, assisting in the suicide of a mentally handicapped person is a capital offense. In India, abetting suicide of a minor or a mentally challenged person can result in a maximum 1 year prison term with a possible fine.[173]
In Germany, the following laws apply to cases of suicide:[174]
- Active euthanasia (killing on request) is prohibited by article 216 of the StGB (Strafgesetzbuch, German Criminal Code), punishable with six months to five years in jail
- German law interprets suicide as an accident and anyone present during suicide may be prosecuted for failure to render aid in an emergency. A suicide legally becomes an emergency when a suicidal person loses consciousness. Failure to render aid is punishable under article 323c of the StGB, with a maximum one year jail sentence.
Switzerland has recently taken steps to legalize assisted suicide for the chronically mentally ill. The high court in Lausanne, in a 2006 ruling, granted an anonymous individual with longstanding psychiatric difficulties the right to end his own life. At least one leading American bioethicist, Jacob Appel of Brown University, has argued that the American medical community ought to condone suicide in certain individuals with mental illness.[175]
Religious views[link]
Main article: Religious views on suicide
In most forms of Christianity, suicide is considered a sin, based mainly on the writings of influential Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages, such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas; suicide was not considered a sin under the Byzantine Christian code of Justinian, for instance.[176][177] In Catholic doctrine, the argument is based on the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" (made applicable under the New Covenant by Jesus in Matthew 19:18), as well as the idea that life is a gift given by God which should not be spurned, and that suicide is against the "natural order" and thus interferes with God's master plan for the world.[178] However, it is believed that mental illness or grave fear of suffering diminishes the responsibility of the one completing suicide.[179] Counter-arguments include the following: that the sixth commandment is more accurately translated as "thou shalt not murder", not necessarily applying to the self; that God has given free will to humans; that taking one's own life no more violates God's Law than does curing a disease; and that a number of suicides by followers of God are recorded in the Bible with no dire condemnation.[180]
Judaism focuses on the importance of valuing this life, and as such, suicide is tantamount to denying God's goodness in the world. Despite this, under extreme circumstances when there has seemed no choice but to either be killed or forced to betray their religion, Jews have committed individual suicide or mass suicide (see Masada, First French persecution of the Jews, and York Castle for examples) and as a grim reminder there is even a prayer in the Jewish liturgy for "when the knife is at the throat", for those dying "to sanctify God's Name" (see Martyrdom). These acts have received mixed responses by Jewish authorities, regarded both as examples of heroic martyrdom, whilst others state that it was wrong for them to take their own lives in anticipation of martyrdom.[181]
Suicide is not allowed in Islam.[182][dubious – discuss]
In Hinduism, suicide is generally frowned upon and is considered equally sinful as murdering another in contemporary Hindu society. Hindu Scriptures state that one who commits suicide will become part of the spirit world, wandering earth until the time one would have otherwise died, had one not committed suicide.[183] However, Hinduism accept a man's right to end one's life through the non-violent practice of fasting to death, termed Prayopavesa.[184] But Prayopavesa is strictly restricted to people who have no desire or ambition left, and no responsibilities remaining in this life.[184] Jainism has a similar practice named Santhara. Sati, or self-immolation by widows was prevalent in Hindu society during the Middle Ages.
Philosophy[link]
Main article: Philosophy of suicide
Some see suicide as a legitimate matter of personal choice and a human right (colloquially known as the right to die movement). Supporters of this position maintain that no one should be forced to suffer against their will, particularly from conditions such as incurable disease, mental illness, and old age that have no possibility of improvement. Proponents of this view reject the belief that suicide is always irrational, arguing instead that it can be a valid last resort for those enduring major pain or trauma.[185] This perspective is most popular and has a good deal of support in continental Europe, where euthanasia and other such topics are commonly discussed in parliament.[186]
A narrower segment of this group considers suicide something between a grave but condonable choice in some circumstances and a sacrosanct right for anyone (even a young and healthy person) who believes they have rationally and conscientiously come to the decision to end their own lives. Notable supporters of this school of thought include Friedrich Nietzsche, and Scottish empiricist David Hume.[187] Bioethicist Jacob Appel has become the leading advocate for this position in the United States.[188][189] Adherents of this view often advocate the abrogation of statutes that restrict the liberties of people known to be suicidal, such as laws permitting their involuntary commitment to mental hospitals.
Locations[link]

Some landmarks have become known for high levels of suicide attempts. The four most popular locations in the world are reportedly San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Toronto's Bloor Street Viaduct (before the construction of the Luminous Veil),[190] Japan's Aokigahara Forest and England's Beachy Head.[191] In 2005 the Golden Gate Bridge had a count exceeding 1,200 jumpers since its construction in 1937.[192] In 1997 the Bloor Street Viaduct had one suicide every 22 days,[193] and in 2002 Aokigahara had a record of 78 bodies found within the forest, replacing the previous record of 73 in 1998.[194] The suicide rate of these places is so high that numerous signs, urging potential victims of suicide to seek help, have been posted.[195]
Advocacy[link]
See also: Advocacy of suicide
Advocacy of suicide has occurred in many cultures and subcultures. The Japanese military during World War II encouraged and glorified kamikaze attacks, and Japanese society as a whole has been described as suicide 'tolerant' (see Suicide in Japan).
William Francis Melchert-Dinkel, 47 years old in May 2010, from Faribault, Minnesota, a licensed nurse from 1991 until February 2009, stands accused of encouraging people to commit suicide while he watched on a webcam.[196][197][198][199]
A study by the British Medical Journal found that Web searches for information on suicide are likely to return sites that encourage, and even facilitate, suicide attempts.[200] There is some concern that such sites may push the suicidal over the edge.[201] Some people form suicide pacts with people they meet online.[202] Becker writes, "Suicidal adolescent visitors risk losing their doubts and fears about committing suicide. Risk factors include peer pressure to commit suicide and appointments for joint suicides. Furthermore, some chat rooms celebrate chatters who committed suicide."[203]
Language[link]
Because suicide was a crime in various countries, including in England and Wales which decriminalized it in 1961, the word 'commit' has traditionally been used in reference to it. Organisations such as the BBC and the Samaritans have stopped using this word because of its negative connotation. 'Attempt' suicide or other phrases are preferred.[204] The Guardian and The Observer also avoid the phrase, preferring the use of "killed him or herself".[205]
Other species[link]
"Suicide" has been observed in salmonella seeking to overcome competing bacteria by triggering an immune system response against them.[206] Suicidal defences by workers are also noted in a Brazilian ant Forelius pusillus where a small group of ants leaves the security of the nest after sealing the entrance from the outside each evening.[207]
Pea aphids, when threatened by a ladybug, can explode themselves, scattering and protecting their brethren and sometimes even killing the lady bug.[208] Some species of termites have soldiers that explode, covering their enemies with sticky goo.[209][210]
Asian black bears being used as "bile bears" are known to frequently try to kill themselves as a result of the severe pain caused by the permanent holes in their abdomen and gall bladder.[211][212]
There have been anecdotal reports of dogs, horses, and dolphins committing suicide, but with little conclusive evidence.[213] There has been little scientific study of animal suicide.[214]

Unaffiliated subjects were younger, less often married, less often had children, and had less contact with family members. Furthermore, subjects with no religious affiliation perceived fewer reasons for living, particularly fewer moral objections to suicide. In terms of clinical characteristics, religiously unaffiliated subjects had more lifetime impulsivity, aggression, and past substance use disorder."

"I have treated ten thousand patients for alcohol and drug problems and have detoxed approximately 1,500 patients for benzodiazepines – the detox for the benzodiazepines is one of the hardest detoxes we do. It can take an extremely long time, about half the length of time they have been addicted – the ongoing relentless withdrawals can be so incapacitating it can cause total destruction to one’s life – marriages break up, businesses are lost, bankruptcy, hospitalization, and of course suicide is probably the most single serious side effect."

Aaron Swartz (born November 8, 1986) is an American programmer, writer, political organizer and Internet activist. He is best known in programming circles for co-authoring the RSS 1.0 specification. He received mainstream media attention after his federal indictment and arrest on 19 July 2011, for allegedly harvesting academic journal articles from JSTOR.[1]
Swartz is the co-founder of Demand Progress and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Contents |
Early life and work[link]
Swartz was active in discussions of Internet standards from an early age, and co-authored the specification for RSS by the time he was 14.[citation needed] Since then he has been a member of the W3C's RDF Core Working Group, co-designed the formatting language Markdown with John Gruber, and worked on many other projects.
Swartz attended Stanford University for a year, leaving to start the software company Infogami, a startup that was funded by Y Combinator's first Summer Founders Program. Infogami was built around a wiki backend, a subject of interest for Swartz since his early effort to develop theinfo, a wiki-based encyclopedia, in 2000.
Reddit and Open Library[link]
Within a year, Infogami merged with Reddit to form not a bug, though the latter group failed to take off. In late 2006, Reddit was sold to CondéNet (the online arm of Condé Nast Publications and the owners of Wired) and Swartz moved with his company to San Francisco. In January 2007, Swartz was asked to resign from his position at Wired Digital.[2]
In September 2007, Swartz, together with Simon Carstensen, launched Jottit, a website service quite similar to Infogami. Jottit was launched from bitbots.net, a project by Swartz and Carstensen. Swartz is also the creator of the web.py web application framework, based on the Python programming language, which is used by Jottit (and previously reddit).
Swartz then went to work for the Internet Archive, serving as the software architect for the new Open Library project, building on work from infogami.
Politics and sociology[link]
Swartz is an active blogger and has written a number of essays on his blog. Two were "Who Writes Wikipedia",[3] an article examining the contributions to Wikipedia articles written during his candidacy for the Wikimedia Foundation board election in 2006, and "HOWTO: Be More Productive",[4] an article on personal productivity.
In recent years, Swartz has worked primarily on social analysis and political activism. He worked on watchdog.net, and serves on the board of Change Congress. In 2010 he became a fellow at Harvard University's Safra Center for Ethics.
Swartz co-founded Demand Progress, a progressive advocacy group that organizes people via email and other media for "contacting Congress and other leaders, funding pressure tactics, and spreading the word" about targeted issues.
Controversies[link]
PACER[link]
In 2009, Swartz downloaded and publicly released approximately 20% of the PACER database of United States federal court documents managed by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.[5][6] He had accessed the system as part of a free trial of PACER at 17 libraries around the country, which was suspended "pending an evaluation" as a result of Swartz's actions. Those actions also brought him under investigation by the FBI, but the case was closed two months later with no charges being filed. [6]
JSTOR[link]
On Tuesday, 19 July 2011, Swartz was charged by U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts with wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer, and recklessly damaging a protected computer, in relation to downloading roughly 4 million academic journal articles from JSTOR.[7] According to the indictment against him, Swartz surreptitiously attached a laptop to MIT's computer network, which allowed him to "rapidly download an extraordinary volume of articles from JSTOR."[8] Prosecutors in the case claim Swartz acted with the intention of making the papers available on P2P file-sharing sites.[9]
Swartz surrendered to authorities, pleading not guilty on all accounts, and was released on $100,000 bail.[1] Prosecution of the case continues, with charges of wire fraud and computer fraud, resulting in a potential prison term of up to 35 years and a fine of up to $1 million USD.[10] JSTOR put out a statement saying it would not pursue civil litigation against Swartz.[1]
Jerry Cohen of Burns & Levinson said the government's choice to pursue criminal charges when JSTOR and MIT had resolved their civil concerns with Swartz reflected a trend of increasingly-zealous prosecution in federal courts.[11]
On September 7, 2011, JSTOR announced it had released the public-domain content of its archives for public viewing and limited use. According to JSTOR, it had been working on making those archives public for some time, and the controversy, which involved, according to a press release, "an individual who was indicted for downloading a substantial portion of content from JSTOR, allegedly for the purpose of posting it to file sharing sites", impelled JSTOR to "press ahead" with the initiative.[12]

Career[link]
Born Malinda Gayle McCready in Fort Myers, Florida, McCready began singing in church at age 3, and graduated from high school at the age of 16 with the intention of beginning her music career early.[1]
When she was 18, she moved to Nashville, where she was signed by BNA Records. Her debut album, Ten Thousand Angels, was released in 1996 and sold two million copies. The album produced four chart singles on the country charts: the title track at #6, followed by her only Number One hit, "Guys Do It All the Time." This song, in turn, was succeeded by "Maybe He'll Notice Her Now," a duet with Richie McDonald, then the lead vocalist of Lonestar. The fourth and final single, "A Girl's Gotta Do (What a Girl's Gotta Do)," peaked at #4.[2]
The next year, McCready released the album If I Don't Stay the Night. The album spawned three singles, "What If I Do", "The Other Side of This Kiss," and "You'll Never Know." The album sold 825,000 copies.[3]
In 1999, McCready released I'm Not So Tough. The first single, "All I Want Is Everything," failed to break the top 50. The album was a commercial failure, selling 144,000 copies. Soon after, McCready's record company dropped her. McCready was then signed by Capitol Records. She released a self-titled album with Capitol in 2002 to disappointing sales, and was dropped by Capitol later that year.[3]
In May 2008, McCready released a song, "I'm Still Here," via her official website. She also announced that she is working on a documentary, a new album and a reality show.[4]
McCready's critically acclaimed fifth album, I'm Still Here, was released in March 2010.[5]
In June 2009, McCready signed on to appear on the reality series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.[6]
In the summer of 2011 Mindy appeared on Celebrity Close Calls & Celebrity Ghost Stories. McCready also appeared on 20/20 in December 2011 talking about Zander, producer boyfriend David Wilson and new music.
Personal life[link]
In 1997, McCready became engaged to actor Dean Cain.[7] The couple broke up the following year.[8]
McCready also dated former NHL hockey player Drake Berehowsky.[9]
In May 2005, McCready's ex-boyfriend, Billy McKnight, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after beating and choking her.[3][10] After reporting to People magazine that she had cut ties with her abuser, McCready was found unconscious the following July, in a hotel lobby in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, after attempting suicide. She was hospitalized for a drug overdose after washing down a large amount of undisclosed drugs with alcohol.[11] That September, when she was pregnant with McKnight's child, she attempted suicide again by overdosing on antidepressants.[12]
On March 25, 2006, McCready gave birth to a son, Zander Ryan McCready.[13]
On December 17, 2008, paramedics were called to McCready's Nashville home after an apparent suicide attempt; they transported her to a hospital after finding wounds on her wrists.[14]
McCready appeared in the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, which aired in January and February 2010 and depicting her struggle with substance addiction.[15] She later discussed her recovery and possible studio work with Todd Gaither on a March 2010 episode of The View.
On May 25, 2010, McCready was hospitalized in Cape Coral, Florida for a possible drug overdose; she may have had a reaction to Darvocet her mother had given her.[16] She was released later that day and returned home.[17]
On April 9, 2012, McCready gave birth to her second child, a son named Zayne.[18]
Roger Clemens affair[link]
In April 2008, the New York Daily News reported on a possible long-term relationship between McCready and baseball star Roger Clemens that began when she was 15.[19]
Clemens' attorney Rusty Hardin denied the affair, stating that Clemens would bring a defamation suit regarding this false allegation. Clemens' attorney admitted that a relationship existed, but described McCready as a "close family friend." He also stated that McCready had traveled on Clemens' personal jet and that Clemens' wife was aware of the relationship.[19] Clemens issued a statement saying only that "I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry."[20] McCready described the relationship as being sexual in nature.[21]
On November 17, 2008, McCready spoke in more detail to Inside Edition about her affair with Clemens. She stated that their relationship lasted for more than a decade, ending when Clemens refused to leave his wife to marry McCready. However, she denied that she was 15 when it began; she said they met when she was 16 and the relationship only became sexual "several years later".[22]
Sex tape[link]
A pornographic videotape of McCready and an ex-boyfriend referred to as "Peter"[23] went on sale by Vivid Entertainment on April 19, 2010.[24] McCready has claimed the video was stolen from her home three years ago.[25][not in citation given]
Legal troubles[link]
In August 2004, McCready was arrested in Tennessee for using a fake prescription to buy the painkiller OxyContin. Although she initially denied the charge, she pleaded guilty and was fined $4,000, sentenced to three years probation, and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.[26][27]
In May 2005, she was stopped by Nashville police for speeding, then arrested and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.[28] A jury later found her not guilty on the charges of DUI, but guilty of driving with a suspended license.[29] That July, she was charged in Arizona with identity theft, unlawful use of transportation, unlawful imprisonment, and hindering prosecution.[30]
An arrest warrant was issued for her the following month for violation of her probation when she left Tennessee without her probation officer's permission. She was also charged with not reporting to her probation officer during the month of July.[31] She was finally arrested in Florida and returned to Tennessee. She faced a hearing later that year on charges of violating her probation on a drug charge by failing to check in with her probation officer and leaving the state without permission to go to Florida.[32]
In July 2007, McCready was arrested in Ft. Myers, Florida. She was charged with battery and resisting arrest for an apparent scuffle with her mother.[33] The following week, she was taken into custody at the Nashville International Airport for violating probation.[34] In September, McCready was sentenced to a year in jail for violating probation. In addition to the jail time, she was ordered to serve two more years of probation and perform 200 additional hours of community service. She was released from jail in December.[35]
In June 2008, McCready was arrested in Tennessee for violating the terms of her probation set in September 2007.[36] Sentenced to 60 days in jail, McCready turned herself in on September 30, 2008.[37] After serving half of her sentence, she was released early for good behavior on October 31, 2008.[38]
