NJ Transit trains strike, kill 3 people in 3 days | dailyrecord.com | Daily Record

Texting & wearing headphone....I guess not paying attention

As far as the two that appear to be suicides..ok I know I'm going to get slammed for this but... why screw up some one else's life....the poor engineer who has to live with this...the passsengers??? The people who have to clean it up....
go home & swallow a bottle of pills or something if you're that determined.....I know someone has to be at their wits end to commit suicide and I do feel for them but why do they sometimes drag innocent strangers into it....

cause suicide is a very selfish act. i'm sympathetic to the troubles people have that get them to that point, but it's still a selfish act. i know someone who's father committed suicide. innocent strangers and innocent family are always dragged through it.

Never thought of it that way but now that you mention it, makes perfect sense...

yes - i mean no insult to anyone who has family that went through such a tough time. but broken down to it's most basic level - it's selfish. no matter how bad you have it, you're in a great country with many opportunities. i have a friend that sees the bright side of everything, and has rheumatory arthritis. has had many surgeries and is under 30 yrs old. Pretty much every joint has been replaced. when you know people like that who say things like "there's always someone who has it worse than me" - it makes you think about all the good things you have.

that being said, depression and other issues are very consuming. it's tragic that those 2 folks had come to that point (whatever their case may have been).

Exactly. Suicides are completely selfish, there will always be innocent bystanders or friends/family members who are affected.

if you think pills are easier, do your research. most people just overdose on pills and end up in the hospital or braindead.

the train is probably a good way to make it quick.
