I think this is awesome - by all accounts they saved the guys life with violence! I mean sure he’s free to try again another day but maybe he’ll decide it wasn’t worth it and go on to live a productive life. What the article doesn’t say is whether suicide is illegal in Scotland - I know it used to be in England. Maybe he’ll do time for the attempt and get a nice new boyfriend with boot black tattoos aswell?
[quote=“the chief”]Anyways, what the hell is an “Attemptor”, is he one of the bad guys in Transformers or something??
Yeesh, no wonder the OP can’t acquire gainful employment…[/quote]
You have problems with people who spell words correctly?
Suicide attemptor* one who attempts suicide, see Analysing and aiding decision processes (1983) by Patrick Humphreys, Ola Svenson, Anna Vári, page 178.

Unless it is a woman, in which case the proper term is “Attemptress”.

Not Attemptrix??
Hey, when I was in junior high, and we were doing the frogs, after like day 4 when the extremities were getting well dessicated, I cut off the little bastard’s front foot, which by that stage looked like a tiny black shriveled human hand with the individual toes curled toward the palm, looking like it was clawing.
And I took it home and stuck it on the top shelf of my older sister’s jewlery box.
Was it worth the shitkicking I got from my Pa?
HELL yeah, what do you think??
DOn’t give a sweet fanny adams about no damn suicide dude, but all that talk about attemptee made me think of Little Feat. Which is always nice.
[quote]Whoa I am just a vagabond, a drifter on the run
the eloquent profanity, it rolls right off my tongue
And I have dined in palaces, drunk wine with kings and queens
But darlin’, oh darlin’, you’re the best thing I ever seen
Won’t you roll me easy, oh slow and easy
Take my independence, with no apprehension, no tension
You’re a walkin’, talkin’ paradise, sweet paradise
I’ve been across this country, from Denver to the ocean
And I never met girls that could sing so sweet like the angels that live in Houston
Singing roll me easy, so slow and easy
Play that concertina be a temptress
And baby I’m defenseless
Singing harmony, in unison, sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I’ll beat your drum[/quote]
[quote=“Edgar Allen”]Could it be that both attemptor and attemptee are correct in the case of a suicide - I mean they are doing it to themselves right?
I assume it would be the same rule as for masturbation - Chief - whats the answer? [/quote]
So you are saying masturbation is the same as suicide… :loco:
Just kidding. But I see your point, for you’d be both giver and receiver. I am no Emglishe Ekspart, so I wouldn’t really know.
RE: tasers, am I the only person here who’s in the ‘I want the Police to have to yell PIKACHUUUU before tasering!’ group on Facebook?
And on a side note, how do you explain to a class of 19-year-old Taiwanese kids why the Italian guy in the movie keeps telling is 14-year-old son he’ll go blind when the kid’s … ahem… having fun?
And to keep it on topic… suicide is very sad… please don’t do it.
