Here I am atop of the world looking over one of the most dangerous and filthy cities in the country..it’s actually the most violent city in the country I believe.
But it’s just me and the concrete formations looking out across the land still asleep from the dead of the night.
Just me and the sky waiting for life to begin.
“Here goes another day!” I say to the sky.
And if the sky could tell me anything in return, it would say..

“…Good morning, Starshine, the Earth says hello!”
‘Listen dude, between global warming, acid rain, the ozone layer and air pollution, I got my own problems, sorry mate you’re on your own’.
Probably something along the lines of: ‘It seems imperialist powers are looking to attack Syria, get ready to chock up a few more hundred thousand+ deaths to western imperialism’
Well, the imperialist western powers have a lot of unemployed folks that have mechanical training, and those remote controlled flying deathbots sometimes break down when they’re being used a lot. It’s economic stimulus in action.
‘scuse me while I kiss this guy
lol π
Isn’t that a shame, Lorax, they would save so much more money if they only bombed civilians once instead of going back for a second round. We gotta spend our budget more wisely, we could use the money saved to buy even more flying deathbots
Yeah, but we have to pay the arms manufacturers for each bomb we drop, which in turn helps to stimulate the manufacturing sector. So you see, it all works out in the end, one way or the other. Flying deathbots or cluster bombs — I mean cruise missiles… cluster bombs are illegal — either way, it’s like a deep prostate stimulation for Uncle Sam.
Your in Chicago or detorit then right?
Heard some interesting statistics today:
At any given time, there are 35 to 50 active serial killers in America.
There are approximately 800,000 obese people worldwide. There are another 800,000 who are starving.
The money spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could have bought solar panels for every house in America.
(I heard this on my morning drive in to work).
I’m pretty sure the most dangerous and filthy city in the country is NYC… because they’re all Giants fans, ugh, those poor souls
I wonder if that’s equivalent to the cost of a humvee and a taco from taco bell – if so, I think most Americans would prefer that to solar panels.
“If the sky could talk”
It would have to be sentient. It would have to be a “life form.” But really, it’s just a naturally occurring congregation of displaced gases, held in place by gravity. It’s not “alive.”
If the sky could “tell you anything,” it would tell you a sensation of temperature, allow sunlight to enable your vision, both of which could help you predict impending weather events.
The sky can “tell you” whether or not rain might occur today. It could also tell you that someone nearby is cooking, or that a building is burning down. It could tell you there are planes flying overhead, nearby. It could tell you that some moisture has attached to some unidentified particles, and condensed into clouds.
The sky can tell us lots of things, if we know how to interpret its language.
@SB:
If you want to talk efficient, you could skip the drones and go for nukes. All the hassle of making and flying a drone and picking specific targets, is just way too tedious and labor intensive. Plus, drones don’t necessarily make a huge impact on reduction of indiscriminate destruction.
Then again, i suppose that’s why every “superpower” nation has nukes pointed at each other, in a sort of “mexican standoff.” If anyone flinches, everyone fires, and most of the earth’s life is destroyed or horribly disfigured, not to mention ruining any chance to rebuild for a very long time.
@C4
Yeah, but where’s the fun in buying solar panels when you can bomb brown people? It’s all the starving people’s fault they’re starving, they should get jobs like everyone else, those lazy bums
Those Hummers get like 5 miles to the gallon, right? No thanks. Then people wonder why the US goes after oil rich countries. Think we’d be there if their chief export was coconuts?
Let gas go up to $10/gallon. I have a VW.
@Clevername
Drones are way cooler though, you can even control them and pick out the people you want to ‘apprehend with deadly force’
*its probly not the most violent city in the country but for sure it sets records for worst city here on the west cost! lol I’m working in Oakland California today…no I don’t live here. I live very far away from here! lol and I’m always thankful when I survive a day out here. If you’ve never been here….don’t visit!!!
Something’s not right. I googled “perfect t*ts'” and was directed to a site that specializes in broadcasting artistic depictions of humans expressing affection towards one another.
Now my phone is acting all wonky, like it caught an infection or something. Probably just a coincidence.
“The money spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could have bought solar panels for every house in America.”
Disgusting.
I recently heard something about people in Arizona trying to pass a bill to tax solar energy… like if you put your own panels on your house and harvest your own sunlight, you have to pay a tax? You can’t own the sun. lol.
(note: i tried posting this right after that last comment, but something stopped me from accessing SP for several hours… not sure if ‘ban’ or ‘outage,’ or NSA hijinx…)
I noticed that too..couldn’t bring up the site. But when I googled SP this post came up! Γ°ΕΈΛΒ
For the record Oakland is not that bad. LA is worse. NYC i hear is worse. San Diego is pretty horrible but thats because of the chargers and padres.
OMFG I thought the computer was fucking up I tried firefox IE7 and chrome and proxy servers and still couldn’t access the site….I thought it had been taken down because of the content of our discussions sometimes …
“I thought it had been taken down because of the content of our discussions sometimes Γ’β¬Β¦”
That thought had crossed my mind… but sometimes sites need a bit of downtime for maintenance. Then again, that maintenance-window /could/ have all sorts of sinister purposes…
If that’s the case they could at least have a page that says “down for maintenance” ….I’d hate to have to find another site like this one most other ones will kick you if you are pro choice or post anything outside their views…
Sinister purpose no. 1
Give the people who are sensitive and paranoid and needing human interaction a scare by bringing down their only form of communicating and sharing their pain.
Sinister purpose no. 2 just to fuck with Clevername, RealTalk30, and PainNLife.
Well, that would confirm that it was intentionally taken down “for maintenance,” rather than just leaving us to wonder.
Sometimes the best ruse is none, and to allow the observers the chance to confused themselves by trying to make sense of something utterly opaque.
I don’t think there is another site “like this.” Some may focus on similar topics, or have a similar functionality (experienceproject comes to mind), but SP seems rather unique. I just wish there was better facilitation of user interaction. I mean, what an odd thing to build a social circle on. “my friends and i all share the common ground of frequent thoughts of choosing to die.”
It’s weird, so many of us are so different… and without the topic of suicide, most of us would otherwise likely never encounter each other, or have any reason to get along. But because of that one thing: the choice to die; we find ourselves in the same (cyber)space, excusing each other’s differences, and looking forward to further interactions. Those of us who have more to share than the thoughts of choosing death, should have a place that isn’t this, for those times when we still value each other, but might lose interest in choosing to die. But if we end up on facebook or the like, we’ll probably just want to die again, and come right back here. lol.
maintenance really… The guy running tried to off him/her self..!!
That’s what I think…!!!!!?!?!?!!?!?!
You guys know what i want by now. I hope. Death. Immortality. Death again.
I want to know.???
@AtTheEnd- “sinister purpose 2” – it worked! π
@clevername- very true!
@donnie- some things should stay shrouded in mystery! π ..you know..for the conspiracy theorists! Hehe
Oh and Oakland is very violent and dirty and smelly. I use to volunteer for a campaign here in 09′-10’…some one was getting shot or run over or mugged everyday. People will run up on you in the early hours if your not careful. It’s a horrible city that should be burnt to the ground. Γ°ΕΈΛβ
I assume that I am in Flint, Michigan, so it will probably just rain and I will get shot.
You assume? Or Are you in that dump of a town? There are lots of neighborhoods that look like flint here but it’s no flint Michigan..that’s for sure! lol
RealTalk30 you just described my neighborhood back home in CA and im not from Oakland.
I like the notion of “i assume that i am indeed in the location i seem to be.”
Like… it /seems/ like flint, but maybe it’s not… but it seems reasonably justified to believe that i am indeed in flint, so i might as well assume that to be true, unless or until i discover otherwise.
I honestly give no shit which city is the worst in the country, bad is bad any way you slice it…just keep me away from all of them!! lol
…you will never find my ass in NYC, Detroit, N.O., or anywhere within 500 miles of Florida!! Γ°ΕΈΛΒ Gracias por nada!! lol
Hey guys, it wasn’t working for me earlier, either. I was thinking maybe somebody was DoS-ing the site. π
*DDoS
I made myself some delicious pancakes to be enjoyed with cinnamon cream cheese icing. I know you’re all jealous.
Yeah and the comments are falling into moderation too. But I think I got them all now.. Γ°ΕΈΛΒ
@persephone- Grrrrr!!!! lol
The worst city in america is the one that is under control of the bankers…. O_o …..
@RT π I’d share but I wasn’t gifted with the virtue of generosity.
My best guess was wordpress updates, though i certainly entertained some more sinister possibilities.
@Persephone:
Cinnamon cream cheese!? That sounds… well, enviable.
Also, i found at least one word in each of your recently pending-approval-moderated comments. One was an ancient culture beginning with ‘S’ (because it contains part of the username of a recently user who posted controversial things), and the other was your use of a word for a person with whom to share particular activities, beginning with ‘P.’
Certain words, for certain reasons, will trigger the mod-filter. Aside from the one that is one letter different from the hottest season, and the one that indicates potential assistance/complicity, there are others.
@Persephone- Your culinary provocations are enough to sustain my appetite for fried batter…..thank you! π
@PainNlife every city and every country is under control of the bankers. They’re actually called the Bilderbergers.
@clevername I knew about that guy but that’s totally ridiculous if they block ANY word with his name. Jeez.
Idea:
A new “high class” club-style burger chain: “Builder-Burger.” Kinda like Fudruckers, or that other place whose name i forgot. “Build your own burger.” You could have pics of presidents and famously rich people, and stock tickers for the various markets… and it could be marketed to wealthy types who like burgers, but don’t like eating around poor people. It could totally work…
Also: i don’t think it’s their intention to block what you posted, it’s just that filtering language and making rules for an automated mod-filter can become quite complex. They probably didn’t think anyone would be mentioning that ancient civilization.
Or, you could play it the other way, and make it for 99%’ers, as an environment to make them feel like 1%’ers. It could be hilariously effective… Or i could get assassinated for attempting to make this happen.
I know that’s why I added the little funny face….its such a depressing thought to know you are under the thumb of someone… invisible chains…..and people will actually argue fiercely with you if you tell them about it
There are a few countries without a central bank left though… Cuba… North Korea and Iran…all of which are enemies of the USA…..go figure
@clevername I have remarkable sniper and ninja abilities so I’ll make certain that does not happen to you or any other SP-er. Get the enemy before they get you.
@clevername …the burgers would cost 2500$ ….cheese and other toppings 500$ each….not each as in “each topping” but each as in each individual onion tomato and pickle etc….so an american burger would cost a small fortune ….guaranteed to keep the “lower classes” far from their establishment….
@Persephone….you are basically black widow from the avengers huh?
Very hot!! lol
@Clever- those were funny ass scenarios!! lol I missed it cuz I was in the shower. Ha!!
@PainNlife
Pretty much, just a tinier version. Although I could never compare myself to Scarlett Johansson. She’s a blonde stunner with a great rack (and as for me, I have more of an Asian body type. Boo).
……Hot!!
sniper and ninja skills? Are we talking on video games? Or just talking about the skills we have in our heads?
IRL skills, of course. π
I would like to see proof of this yo.
You’ll just have to take my word for it. π
No deal.
But one of the things about being a sniper and ninja is that we have to stay invisible. We have to stay out of sight in order to properly do our job. I can’t confirm this for confidentiality reasons but I just may have taken out someone before who was after you. I work for a private agency because the CIA is too corrupt these days. If they knew I was posting about this on a suicide forum they’d probably send a hitman after me, so as you can understand, this is a rather delicate situation.
o-o no I’m pretty sure that in this line of work I’d have heard of you before. Even we have our gossip circles for wetworks ;D I’m sorry but unless you like almost assassinate me or actually assassinate me i cant believe this XD you remind me of this female i met on a flight. She works for the government. She told me she got paid by the Department of agriculture but she had a laptop fromt he department of justice that was locked to anyone without the key card, and she was a clutz >.> perfect cover for a highly skilled assassin. If you don’t hear from me….she read what i wrote and killed me >.>
Why would I assassinate you? You were one of the clients of my agency. I’m very inconspicuous, I’m not surprised you haven’t heard of me. I like to blend in by hanging around with nerds and philosophers. Everyone assumes I’m just some random smart chick who’s too tiny to ever hurt a fly, but they’ve never encountered me in a dark alleyway whilst holding a knife. The hoodlums that do attempt such tomfoolery never know what’s coming for them.
Ahahaha right right. No the smallest are the deadliest O-O like the brown recluse! I encountered you in a dark alley holding an exacto blade, but that was back in 2005 in Prague. Remember the guy with the checkered black and white scarf? If not then never mind. I was never there. I’m not a client of any agency.
I can’t say for sure if I remember that. I have very mysterious gaps in my memory. I suspect this may be due to my agency using a mind-wiping device after certain missions. I would protest but then again, maybe it’s stuff I wouldn’t want to know. I say this because there was this one time we had Hugh Hefner for a client… I’ll spare you the details. I voluntarily submitted myself to therapy afterwards and may or may not still be suffering from PTSD. Let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty.
It was pretty. I was there. I still have some of the files from that mission. Hefner does as well. Don’t worry they won’t be publicized hefner agreed to the conditions. Well don’t worry nothing much happened in Prague ;D
Hmm… nothing much, eh? You make me wonder… Was I, by any chance, intoxicated at some point? That could explain some of the memory loss…
What happened in Prague? Well you should know by now all things that happen while on a mission is classified.
True enough but if there were deviations from a mission… I just hope to Bejeezus that I didn’t make a total fool of myself. That happened on one other occasion in Argentina, as I recall. Somebody slipped something into my drink and apparently I thought I was the second coming of Zsa Zsa Gabor. I had an awful lot of annulments to sign the next day.
Let’s just say you are a quite the character little random smart chick. Hahaha
It’s what I try to bring to the table. ^^
You both are fucking weirdos!! π
And proud of it.
I would like to formally endorse what the ninja said. As well saying that be nice RealTalk30 or I’ll find someone who will make you be nice. Well I’m going to bed. Good day Ryan, good day female from Prague.
Good day Natty! lol
Ciao, guy from Prague who I can’t remember.
Btw I’m just kidding when I called you guys weirdos so don’t get all cwazy eyed on my ass! Γ°ΕΈΛΒ
How could we be offended when we know that you’re even more of a weirdo? π
Γ°ΕΈΛΛ Exactly!! lol
I just didn’t want AtTheEnd to think I was being mean.. He can be sensitive at time! π
I guess that’s the passion of the French!! lol wee wee!! Γ°ΕΈΛΕ
Persephone is a HOT name.
π We’re all one big, weird bunch of misfits. Saving the world, one post at a time.
i bet she gets a lot of *#^%+
We are the best underestimated and virtually nonexistent superheroes that this great world will never know…or care about!
Yes I can see them lining up to be enlightened! lol
who censored me??? i meant ” i bet she get a lot of……
@persephone- Do you know this gentleman?
@ifoundmeandyou I’m not too sure about that, Persephone lived in Hades where I doubt she was allowed many male visitors.
