Did anybody find this silly message that the article refers to?
The guy was from MIddlesbrough in England. This is probably one of the roughest areas in the UK, something like Stockton,CA. I guess he escaped the 'hood, busting his ass to go to friggin Oxford and I guess he was afraid/embarrassed he might have to go back to the ghetto wearing his 150s Zegna suit. True though, he was wayyyy too young, he also run a party company so i dont think how he was depressed… not with a hot chick like that in the picture.!!
You can’t really call the guy a coward. Most people would give their jobs and loved ones up to save their own skin. Obviously it could more easily be a differing set of values or philosophical core. Take the bushido code or Greco-roman stoicism. There’s also the old sailing code by which many captains chose to go down with the ship. I find it hard to call the early roman commanders,etc. cowards but really wish people in the habit of rashly opinionated acusations would broaden their philosophical mind a bit to alternative value systems. ‘Better to live than to die’ is a very western perspective and well refuted in reagan’s ‘time for choosing’ speech. For example, if you fall in my camp as an agnostic nihilst, life in and of itself holds nearly zero value and people who disagree are often driven by religious dogma or their animalistic hard wiring combined with an instinctive yet irrational fear of the inevidable. The next time you sit down for a meal, ask yourself if that chicken or carrot you are eating cares at that exact moment how long it’s life lasted. ‘But we’re different’ yep, and you’re special because you’re you, right? Anyhow, just balancing the discussion with a refutement of some of the other statements.
^huh?
I get it; it’s a good point Black Swan. We shouldn’t judge. By the way, do you read a lot of history, or what?
Very tragic no matter how you look at it.

I really don’t spend a lot of time directly reading history books, but if I see something that interests me I’ll dig around until I’m satisified that I understand the time period. JTLD, it did come out a bit muddled together because I wrote it form my iPhone in a rush. Also, wrongful death isn’t going to happen because it would appear the other party did full research from their end with valid evidence that pointed to an ip address at this guy’s firm. At that point they were as far as they could go and contacted that firm to continue the investigation. They did not recommend consequences to our knowledge and may not even have named names but simply reported where the rabbit trail had lead.
we should bless the young guy, hoping he will get a better job in heaven.

And yet there are doubters on Darwinism
Because this guy has so much in common with Michael Jackson. Talk about trivializing a funeral: “Many of Jools’ friends will be wearing a white glove on their left hand like Michael Jackson’s brothers did for his funeral. Xander Mahony has kindly ordered a number of white gloves which will be available to guests until they run out, so if possible please bring your own.”
thats douchebagness.

Horror as taxi driver decapitates himself outside cafe By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 12:41 PM on 10th July 2009 Comments (24) Add to My Stories The death happened shortly after midnight yards from a 24-hour cafe used by black-cab drivers A taxi driver decapitated himself after tying a rope around his neck and a post before driving off at high speed. The incident took place just metres from a 24-hour cafe. The man, believed to be in his thirties, is said to have then driven off at full speed in the early hours of this morning, aiming straight at a pillar. His head was found yards from his taxi in Great Suffolk Street in Southwark, London. A cab driver, who preferred to remain anonymous, said: 'One of the drivers was at the scene just afterwards. 'He saw the cab all smashed up against the pillar, with the driver’s body still inside the vehicle. ‘He then saw the head lying on the side of the road next to some rope. It is horrific.’ The death happened shortly after midnight at a disused petrol station yards from a 24-hour cafe used by black-cab drivers. The witness added: 'The driver who arrived at the scene just afterwards alerted the police and ambulance service. ‘Some people from the flats nearby also came running out of their homes when they heard the crash.’ Scotland Yard said the death was not being treated as suspicious but it was investigating. Ambulance services attended at 12.40am and the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police were trying to trace the driver’s next of kin today. They were also trying to establish if the dead man was a genuine black-cab driver. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1198809/Horror-taxi-driver-decapitates-cab.html#ixzz0M0QOHvMW
I will never understand how a 24-year old is labeled a “professional” outside of sports. The kid probably never worked a real day in his life outside of “banking” so couldnt comprehend the consequences of losing his precious little existence and his flashy clothes

Although, it’s probably akin to saying…‘JFK shoots himself in the chest’. Definitely an interesting story though.
