Suicide Booths in 2008???

[Reply #40 on:]

Hmmmm.. I could swear it was 2009 that the Suicide Booths came about, I'll have to look that up now...

[Reply #41 on:]

No, it was definately 2008. "Stop 'n' Drop, America's favorite suicide booth since 2008".

[Reply #42 on:]

I listened to the "Spanish Fry" commentary last night, and Billy West did admit it's possible to create a Suicide Booth right now.  All the methods of death are available, and it shouldn't be that hard to put it all together.  But, as the commentators said, there are none because suicidal people are just lazy.

Is that like when someone says they're gonna bury someone in this one place, but then take the lazy route and just throw them off a bridge or something?

I better check that one out about the "Spanish Fry" commentary. I'll try it tonight.

They guessed, because the people being killed didn't go "Aaarrgh, my arms, my legs, this is the worst pain imaginable!" for the few minutes prior to death.

I've been thinking about this and suicide booths should be legal, they would actually save lives. Think I'm insane? Read on...

First of all, when a person commits suicide, their body is wasted. In a suicide booth their organs could be harvested and instantly delivered to hospitals for the patients that need donors.
People sometimes take out others when they kill themselves. Today in the UK, there was a train crash caused by a guy parking his car in the middle of the track. He got his suicide, but derailed the train, killing 6 others.
This won't make any difference to the insane suicidal that wants to kill everyone then top himself, but it makes sure that people who don't intend to kill others will not.

So overall, there would probably be more people alive with suicide booths around.

Zmithy has a point.. sorta but wouldn't there be deranged killers pushing people into suicide booths to kill em anyway, to make it 'look like an accident'?

ah screw it.people are going to die anyway, suicide booths should be legal so people can put themselves our of their misery and the rest of us don't have to hear about it...

[Reply #48 on:]

What if the guy commited suicide because he was really sick and then they wouldn't be able to use his organs?

More litter.

[Reply #49 on:]

Hey Prof.Killbot,I'm going to try to use boxes and other stuff I can find for my Suicide Booth. How does that sound?

[Reply #50 on:]

odd something to replace the eletric chair.

[Reply #51 on:]

I have one question, what would you do about the noise?
Don't get me wrong im all for the utilitarian approach, what with donating organs and all, but I mean imagine the horrific screaming as someone was sliced'n'diced. Also, going back Prof.Killbot's thing about diseased organs, maybe you be able to choose if you wanted things to be donated?

No, because one in they'd have to insert a coin to get killed, and the killer would be unable to get in with them as the door would shut behind them, rendering it impossible to kill them without killing themselves. The booths probably only work when the doors are opened, just like microwaves.

[Reply #53 on:]

Maybe people would trick others into thinking suicide booths were actually phone boxes by disguising them and then end up killing loads of people...
But I guess if someone walked into a phone box without a phone or advertisements for prozzies and sex-lines, they'd probably notice and wouldn't put any money in. Right, I've just answered my own theory.

[Reply #54 on:]

if anyone can do it... it would be the robot mafia...
oh yeah....

Actually, I thought it was "Three Hundred Big Boys" that had the comment about the suicide booths in the commentary. Or I could be going crazy. Whichever.

But, yeah, unless the South secedes from youse guys within the next four years, I don't think suicide booths will be legal in the US for many years to come.

[Reply #56 on:]

Suicide Booths are bollocks and alright, Zmithy has a point but then so does airbag failure! when person to agree with? :thinks too hard and brain explodes, he looks the same as before:

[Reply #57 on:]

i'd rather go via the booth, one coin, a quick death etc, than have some smelly prison death row guard/doc stick a needle in my arm and then have to wait as my heart slows down and lungs stop breathing, knowing i was about to die. even slow and painfull option sounds better than that! or is that just me then?

[Reply #58 on:]

The initial shot of a lethal injection knocks you out, so you won't have to actually feel yourself dying.  But yeah, the 12 years before that would majorly suck.

Booths are probably a little to conventient...I mean, every teenager in America would line up to use one at some point.

We can start a write-in campaign to the governors of all the states to have suicide booths legalized. Probably be a tax on them, however, to make up for that you can rob the dead.

[Reply #60 on:]

@HellsLab: You cant rob the dead the bodys disapper dont they! there is a flash,
@TheSpacePope: its you!
@Nurd-o-rama: I think maybe there should be a guard or somethign or a machine saying wether your reason is good enought etc.But then again you might think the reason is bad the machine might not! Im not sure! oh well

[Reply #61 on:]

@HellsLab: You cant rob the dead the bodys disapper dont they! there is a flash,

Yeah, talking of that, how do they know when a person's dead or not..I mean why didnt Fry and Bender disappear? 

[Reply #62 on:]

i thought of that, maybe there is a weith sensor or something on the floor and it detects when the body has fallen to the floor.

[Reply #63 on:]

Ahh, of course, it's all so obvious!
Also one thing I love about the idea of suicide booths are, that if you suddenly back out at the last moment..all ya gotta do is move to the side!!

First, it's "bodies" not "bodys".

Second, the real life version of the suicide booth wouldn't have the flash. We don't have that technology. Or, to please you, you rob them before they disappear. (Duh)

[Reply #65 on:]

A)whatever
b)I don't care
and
c)you all know what I mean!

[Reply #66 on:]

What about modified suicide booths...?
(Dont say...'What about them?)

[Reply #67 on:]

ha... i remeber when i told my friend about suicide booths she thought that was the most horrible thing in the world ha...
if u really think about it...its not that funny

[Reply #68 on:]

i must mirror all of the previous thoughts, i do believe they would not only be economical but efficient as well... however another question presents itself... how would the harvested organs be transferred long distances, and also, how would the booths be cleaned?!?!?

[Reply #69 on:]

@Prince: What about them?

@cujoe169: Easy! Setup suicide booths at hospitals!

[Reply #70 on:]

Hellslab>Lol, jakass, knew t'was only a matter of time!

Cujoe169> It's the future baby! Anythings possible..Anyway, they could just have a transporting tube doodle in the floor or something, there could be special sensors over each one, allowing those respective organs to pass through?
Who said anything about them being cleaned? 

[Reply #71 on:]

That's the thing, prince, it's not the future: It's 2008.

[Reply #72 on:]

I think we've all spotted a flaw in your argument, lol...

[Reply #73 on:]

I haven't! even through im super intelligent! *starts to drool and stares at the screen*

[Reply #74 on:]

Flaw? Surely you jest! (You post editing loser! I pox on thee!)

Would you like to state the year at the moment....

I dunno..I keep thinking of that Simpson's Halloween special when Homer gets a hair transplant from Snake and goes all psycho

Not really.

[Reply #78 on:]

Where's the money in this? How many people contemplating suicide will want to spend a quarter to kill themselves (I know you can't takeit with you, but it's the principle of the thing)? Is it worth walking all the way to your nearest booth when you can simply jump from your apartment block or shoot yourself? Can the consumer of today cope with having to actively search for a stationary suicide booth, or is it just too much hassle in today's hectic lifestyle?

Yeah what about knives and gas? They are easy weapons to use for committing suicide.
