So, back to my point, has society's view of suicide changed? I'm referring to high profile cases where the individual was tired of struggling or didnt want to face eroding health issues, and took the decision when to leave upon themselves...is this "empowering?" Not sure of the exact reasons behind bourdain/spade.
The only thing I would say about that supposition is that I am going to assume that anyone who goes to the length of taking their life probably has bigger issues than whether there is a stigma associated with the act or not. I mean if they really cared about what others think, it would seem to me their concern would be more so with their loved ones that must suffer because they removed themselves from their lives. If they are hurting bad enough to do that to their loved ones seems like what strangers think would be quite irrelevant. But then again, who knows? Now for physical cases such as neurological or other health issues that decapacitate to the point of being a burden on your loved ones, I totally get that and there is even some nobility in that imo.

Not sure of the exact reasons behind bourdain/spade. I got what you meant: have things really become that much more hopeless in the last 25 years? It doesn't seem like it. For me, the early 1990s were probably the most challenging time of my adult life, but that's of a personal level, not because of external factors really. Maybe society's views have changed to some extent, especially for situations like physician-assisted suicide or "death-with-dignity" issues for people with terminal illnesses (Jerzy Kosinski or Robim Williams). I know little about Kate Spade (but apparently she and her husband had recently separated) but I'm aware that Bourdain definitely had a number of demons.

I think it is a combination of life, society and people in general sucking more than they used to as our modern society keeps getting more modern and we lose touch with our humanity and nature in combination with lack of parental or any elder guidance for our young ones on how to cope with life for generations now. There are other factors involved of course but I thought I would mention these because it is doubtful anyone else here will. Now you can hear about all of the reasons from others.

miamizsun wrote:Clint Walker, star of TV's 'Cheyenne,' dies at age 91Clint Walker, who played the title character in the early TV western "Cheyenne," has died. Walker's daughter Valerie Walker tells the Associated Press that her father died Monday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Grass Valley, Calif., at age 91. The towering, strapping Walker played Cheyenne Bodie, who traveled the West and handed down justice on the TV series that ran for seven seasons starting in 1955. Walker was an Illinois native who was working as a Las Vegas sheriff's deputy and part-time bouncer at the Sands Hotel when he made the leap to Hollywood. In addition to "Cheyenne," he had small but visible roles in classic films including 1956's "The Ten Commandments" and 1967's "The Dirty Dozen." He most recently lent his voice to 1998's "Small Soldiers." Wow I didn't know he was still living up to this point. Just watched him on the retro channel yesterday. He can now just mosey into the final sunset.
