Now Anthony Bourdain?!?!?!

"Attacks"? Hillarious! That's just in your senile ole mind, Barry. You know that old adage about what happens when you make assumptions, right? It's true!

As for Bourdain's current occupation, you have no clue there, either; so, stop presenting your assumptions as fact, and then you might not make a further ass of yourself. For all you know, he is cooking up a feast in another dimension right now. You can't prove otherwise, regardless of how much you speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew, lol.

 

Another dimension??
Still tripped out on LSD, are you??

 

Nope! Not my style.

 

Now THAT is a smart thing.
Not mine either.
But I bet you my dad can beat up your dad......

 

Just hung-up the phone with mine. He's busy chasing a lil CNA around his house right now. Imagine he wouldn't mind breaking for a moment to further impress her, by beating up your dad. I'll take that bet with confidence!

 

Oh Barry swell info's numba one moron

I am not sure how many times I need to tell you this but I am not SJB

Keep shredding that keyboard you racist fraudulent piece of sheit

 

^Yikes!

 

Thanks dude, much appreciated!

 

The only person who really knows why Anthony Bourdain killed himself is Anthony Bourdain.
That being said, the 18 year old son of an old friend of mine from high school just killed himself on Saturday. Two days after he graduated from high school. He showed no signs of mental illness nor was he a drug user. He was set to go to college in the fall. I don't know them well enough to know the kid's personal situation (friends, girlfriend, bullied, etc) but this really drove home to me that something is going on with these kids that is not being addressed. Something is getting lost in the endless political bickering. Too much pressure to succeed at too early an age? Just not letting them be kids? Too much exposure to social media? Not enough parental support? The fear of expressing insecurities due to fear of ridicule or fear they may offend someone or some group so they lash out in violence? I don't know but something needs to change.

 

Probably a mix of all those reasons, depending on the individual.

 

Ahh but he traveled alone and said he was lonely, worst of all will be the effect on his 11 year old daughter. Thoughts and prayers for her..

 

Damn. Hope you beat this shit dude.

 

I have a friend i am seriously worried about right now. It is scary. What do i do or not do? He is completely shut down.
My best friend for 40 years.

Praying for him.

 

I was listening to a podcast or radio or something. Whatever it was, they were having a conversation that sort of relates to this.

Basically the jist of it was kids these days don't know how to deal with rejection, lose, anything like that. For instance alot of seniors in college have never actually asked a girl on a date... in person. It's all social media and apps. And it's not just rejection from girls. It's everything. Everyone gets a participation trophy sort of deal. Not only that, but all this social media gives kids a platform to bully from. Sure, there always are bullys. But there are totally people who wouldn't bully you to your face but from behind a key board suddenly they have the balls to say shit. So now these kids hit the real world and they don't know how to deal with real life. Not saying it causes suicide or shootings or violence. But it's definitely a theory that makes you think. It's totally possible.

Regardless, I'm sorry to hear about your friends lose.

 

Sad to say but this truth really only scratches the surface. But a good starting point.

 

I'm sorry to hear that dude. It's a tough spot to be in. I've lost at least three friends to drug-related suicides. All of them occurred over 25 years ago but I still think about it all the time. Was there something I could have done to prevent them for doing it? Everyone around them tried to help at some point, even to the point of taking time into their home and trying to get them to kick it. None of it mattered. Some people just have this demon inside them. Not sure if it always there or it overtakes them via life's experiences. That's why seeing these young folks take their own lives before they've really started is disconcerting to say the least. We need to teach about the value of life, how fleeting and precious it can be BEFORE we teach them anything else

 

That is remarkably similar to a few of my friends as well, all of them from my PR days. They simply did not stop substance abuse at a proper time, so it caught up with them.
