Hanged Himself in Paris. Wondering if TDS is having an effect on the leftists? He was a heroin addict.

I couldn't stand his politics, but I suppose that if you're going for maximum melodrama, doing it at the Georges V is top-shelf, for sure.
In your memory, appropriately, some post-club chillhouse. Too bad you couldn't deal with the brutality of aging, but at least your clock stopped in the beauty of a late Parisian spring.

I'd never heard of him till this morning when NPR reported on his death 4 times in less than 30 min. I knew then he must be some commie or queer.
That statement used to hold pretty true but nowadays they would have to kill roughly 10% of the population of the world to have a silencing effect.
They're so dirty now that they don't seem to try to hard to hide it.
This.
I dont know anything about his politics but I enjoyed his cooking travel shows. You get to see a lot of stuff you wouldnt in a regular travel show. Junkie turned success turned dead.
Sad.
Used to watch his first show No Reservations occasionally. It was ok but steadily went downhill with his self-important BS before it was cancelled. He seemed to view himself as a celebrity that didn't get the recognition he deserved.
That sex cult NXIVM where the sex slaves branded themselves. The press reported it as a sex cult, but on that woman's charging documents Child Trafficking was one of the charges. The Press did not report that. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe I read that, if the docs were real its gonna get serious.
To date, his sheets have killed more people than my guns
Wow. Four hours after the news breaks, and we're talking about chillhouse CDs.
I find myself pissed that he fathered a child and then did this to her. Typically egotistical behavior on the part of a jaded little shit.
History of drugs
Virulent anti-Trumper
Had a girlfriend much younger than he, who was the Italian actress allegedly assaulted by Harvey Weinstein, and part of the Mee Too movement, whom he financially supported, with whom he was emotionally smitten -----BUT who was photographed all over Europe, in amorous poses, with a younger guy.

Came off as a pretentious prick to me. I just thought he was "one of those guys" you just don't like. No reason other than their face, or the way they talk, etc.
Suicide doesn't take the pain away. It only transfers it to those who truly loved you.

I'm curious what Bill Maher is gonna say about him on his show tonight. Apparently when Bourdain was a guest on Maher's show, he gave a review afterwards that Maher was really arrogant and full of himself. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
I actually liked his shows. They were extremely entertaining. Minus his politics. His show on India was one of my favorites. But yeah.... offing your self is selfish.
Led a amazing life that anyone else would want. But with so pathetic.., that he had to kill himself? Give me a break these Hollywood types who off themselves are appalling. You have everything and more but your life is so pathetic that you have to off yourself in some spectacular manner. Cry for attention... no sympathy.
Burn in hell
Good riddance. Cheers, sirhe

We should be a kinder, gentler Hide. I support leftist suicide. It’s nature’s way of picking up the stragglers.
Man tough crowd. Suicide is a complex, fucked up topic. One of my closest friends killed himself in a most brutal manner. He left a wake of misery that his family and friends will never understand or come to terms with.
I tread lightly on the topic because I will never comprehend how someone with so much to live for, and so much to offer can make such a drastic decision.
I think about it quite a bit but have no answers.
Politics aside, I rather liked Bourdain's sometimes pissy, honest attitude.

I don't give a fuck about suicide victims because I support the ideology that we are all in charge of our own lives and we should have the RIGHT to end it if we're not happy with our lives. No sympathy here from me. You wanna off yourself then go ahead. Just don't leave a nasty mess to clean up for those who are still alive and want to keep living.

They hang themselves because they don't know how to shoot that far.
Even if they take sleeping pills it leaves a nasty mess. They’re not in their right minds, which is why you can’t understand. Depression is a creeping blackness that blots reality so that all they can see is the darkness. It doesn’t matter what their real problems are or aren’t. They’re not living in reality.
Exactly.. .and once upon a time, society had a place for that and a way of dealing with it. Even a legal standard. "If you determined to be a danger to yourself or others"... you can be incarcerated.
But the huggie-bunnies, lithium salesmen and ACLU-types had a conniption fit... and make sure that these idiots walk among us. The good ones go into their closets and hang themselves. The bad ones shoot up schools, movie theaters and rock festivals.
And 'incarceration' today, IMHO, does not need to be a nasty 1920's style drool-academy. There are plenty of ways to involuntarily commit someone to a fine, clean, well-run facility that helps them deal with their problems. And, perhaps, keeps them there forever, nice and comfy-like. OUT of the mainstream of society.
To quote Ron White "If you drool, eat crayons and roll your turds into little balls, I'll pay to feed you for life. If you drool, eat crayons, roll your turds into little balls and kill productive members of society... it's fast lane to the electric chair for you!"
Again, society has dealt with the small percentage of those who were born 'wired wrong' for 10,000 generations. Banishment, ritual execution, burned as witch, put in a loonie-bin... whatever. It's a basic organizing principle of any society that it has to be able to deal with the outliers... and the threats. Or society does not function. Of course, that was before we developed liberalism, lawyers and the ACLU... who seem to think that the Constitution is a suicide pact when they want to interpret it one way... and writ in stone when they want to interpret it another. The founding fathers were well aware of the fact that there were retards in society... thus they created the ability to remove someone's right to freedom... with due process. This became a standard that is STILL valid.
If you are a danger to yourself or others... you forfeit the right to have the freedom to BE a danger to yourself or others.
Until we get back to that interpretation... we're going to have celebrity self-offings and, more importantly, mass-casualty shootings. Because the "What's changed" in the last 30 years since these events started happening more often (Thank you Boomtown Rats)... is not guns or video games or taking God out of schools... It is the advent of a medical and civil rights movement that says "We can Mainstream those who cannot be mainstreamed." We can give them lithium and hugs and keep lots of worthless liberal arts Psychology Majors employed as counselors (Because the provide NO useful function in society)... if we create a world in which psych majors... have something to do. And that's help mainstream the criminally insane... and that's not going to happen. Because.... they are insane! IMHO, the root of most of this crap is an unwillingness of people to call a spade a spade... to call a retard a retard... parents who think that their potato-head is going to be a Rhodes Scholar... when they belong in a special class teaching them not to stick forks in their eyes... and nothing more.
A certain percentage of any species comes into the world wired wrong. In some cases, the wiring creates a better species... because a genetic anomaly creates a cold-resistant Bean or a faster growing tree... or Einstein or Mozart. In most cases, the bad wiring causes the organism to die out... before procreating. And that's how it's supposed to work. Darwin figured that out.
Right now, everything society does is designed to pad and take away the sharp edges and try and keep the sick, the weak and the retarded... alive and procreating. If you are stupid enough to walk into traffic while reading your phone? Bingo... no kids for you. The next generation won't walk out into traffic reading their phones.... Don't create a law banning traffic, walking or phones.
Meh... the liberal minds who want everyone bred down to epsilon-semi-moron status (except their Alpha-class Harvard prep-school lacross-playing nar nars) won't let that happen. It's funny how the left LOVES Darwin... because he is all anti-religion. But in their every action, they work to thwart Darwin... by supporting the sick and the weak and the non-hackers... and trying to crush the strong members of society. Wonder if anyone has every pointed that out to them?
I am sure doing so would be racist.
Well, I've had enough coffee. I'm going to go mow some fields and, in the process, create a better strain of rodentia. The ones that can think well enough and run fast enough to avoid my mower blades... will become better rodents. The rest... crow nibblings...
Cheers,

As many of ya'll know, who've read my "I'm Smarter Now" thread.... suicide and/or attempts are definitely 'something wrong'.
In my FIL's case, 77 years 10 months with NO tendencies or indicators at all, and then it happened. It is only 'after the fact' that we all could see the previous planning and scheming that he had done in the previous couple days. And before anyone points fingers, this happened outside in the shed, where practically nobody went except maybe once or twice a month, depending on the season and state of the lawn.
In dealing with the District Attorney yesterday, even he commented that "the fact that a 12 gauge to the head was employed AND that he is still alive, to necessitate us having to deal with these precedings is unprecedented in itself." He too is astonished at the situation, and has never heard of this happening.
So much fun. There are those who take (or attempt to take) this path that are truly ill and devastate those of us remaining. And then there are those whom are inconsequential in the big picture, and yet the media must make mountains out of molehills.
I would much rather see headlines and/or articles of RESPECTABLE people whom have contributed to society in positive ways (soldiers, for example) than to have 'blithering idiots' plastered all over and thrown down our throats whether we like it or not. All for attention, headlines, copy, and sales.
One could say that it's almost a demonic system and process,,,, but that is what consumer media is, right? As opposed to neutrally informative media. Which is something that we might have had, once,,,, so long ago.
And, as I've also been saying in the other thread, dad's attempt has MASSIVELY affected all the rest of us. Each and every one of us have had our own lives put on hold/full-stop. None of us have had ANY opportunity to do anything that we'd planned on doing this summer. As in, through the winter we plan on "this summer I'm going to ____" type of thing. We've even had to simply get help getting our grass cut.
So, we all 'write off our immediate lives out of care, concern and responsibility' for dad and his condition..... OR do we 'write off dad and his condition, and go back to our intended goals, plans, and life,,,,'
Now who's being selfish?
The joke I've been saying to my Christian friends is that I'm thinking about switching over to Buddhism. Simply because they believe in reincarnation... and If I do that, then maybe my next life will be a good one.
(some of you might get the depth of that one)

Suicide is fucked up, nobody wants to kill themselves. You'd have to feel totally absent of hope or well being, not just now but for the future. So to them, it's not a permanent solution to a temporary problem, it's the only solution to their problem. Some want help and their cries go unheard until they do something drastic (and if that goes ignored because "it's just a cry for help, he won't do it" then he usually will). Others just wanna end it, period. There's a member dealing with this in his family now, I feel for him because when it rains, it pours.
I guess if I was gonna do it I'd have done it already, but I weathered (and am still weathering I guess) a recent surprise divorce and just a truckload of serious problems, one after another. Didn't wanna wake up and deal with the next day because I was still digesting the bad news from the day before. But I'm getting through it, I'm dealing with it. Some problems got better, some just went away and others lose their sting over time.
But reading about Bourdain and all the "celebrity mourners" (seriously? WTF.) and how much money he had and all the places he visited and got paid to do so, books and TV shows, pretty younger wife, a family, surrounded by nice, luxury shit, AND he has his health even at his age, but he's so sad he kills himself. Hours before doing so, he posted pictures of his meal and everyone said he was smiling and talking. I guess I don't get it.

I'm wondering if there isn't something to certain allegations concerning unseen aspects of his lifestyle. He may have been "preferentially ambiguous," or perhaps the pedo rumor is true. Who knows? I still despise him for walking out like that on his kid.
I cannot advocate for the credibility of this article but it has some crazy shit in it about Clinton ties:

Sometimes the "happy" route is the wrong route to help yourself/others with.
Try the dark route. Life really sucks now, it might get even worse, why check out now, enjoy the ride into pain and suffering and see how epic the suffering can get.
Another thing to help others with is:
If you are convinced it's logically the right time to check out, don't waste your death, there is so much evil in the world that needs stopping & a good man not afraid of the personal consequences can accomplish something worthwhile. Then the planning part will bring things clearly into focus for you and help you think about if it's really time or if there are things you want to live to see another day for.
One thing however when helping others or yourself:
Do whatever it takes to make sure they/you sleep totally out, each night for at least 5-6 hours. The worst possible situation is when ones' personal demons keep them from sleeping for an extended period of time. In my experiance, the medical community is of absolutely NO help and will only make things horribly worse, they almost take a perverse pleasure in driving people further insane & making sure they are to scared to try to get the help they need. And of course law enforcement / courts will back them up because they are a bit too stupid to realize the "doctors" are actually evil most of the time, or have their own reasons for being rough to people going through a difficult time.
The mental health community in this country & the laws are totally fucked up and the doctors think they are some kind of gods.

In Texas, the men in the white coats will come and get you. And it usually starts with a close family member and a judge. Suicide rates are up because family don't want the stigma of a family member in the "sanitaruim." Growing up in East Texas it seemed like everybody at one time or another had an old person dying in a back bedroom howling at the moon and some other member doing time in the state hospital. Hell, I had kin working at the state hospital that probably should have been admitted themselves. Mainly, a cousin that went by Tinker Bell. He got his junk mauled by an East Texas hound Mr. Bell made the mistake of pissing on.
I've debated with myself on whether I want to talk about this or not, but I already mentioned in the Chuck Norris thread about my suicide attempt back when I was 14 and also I have seen a few posts here talking about the selfishness involved with suicide, so as someone who has tried to kill himself and almost succeeded, I feel like I can weigh in on the subject of selfishness based on my actual experience.
First off, lemme start by saying DO NOT send me PMs on this subject asking if I still feel suicidal or any crazy shit like that. Basically don't treat me any differently than I'm already treated here. I don't want special treatment or pity from you guys. Continue treating me like the autistic faggot that I am and always will be. Anyways, I'll keep this short. When you are going through the process of ending your life, you are in a totally different world and mindset. I did not take into consideration my friends and family who cared about me or even my responsibilities such as caring for my pets. It's a hard feeling to describe, but it's kind of almost a sense of a duty you feel you are doing for the world by ending your own life. Also the sense of defeat you feel is something completely different than say being defeated in like a competition or a poker game or something like that. So I don't think suicide is a selfish thing at all because like I said you're in a totally different mindset than if you were just being selfish for the sake of being selfish. It may seem selfish to the folks who cared about the suicide victim, but for the victim themselves, no they're not in the mindset for it to be considered selfish.
I know that shit probably makes no sense at all, but I'm describing it the best as I can.

I really liked the guy. yes he was a liberal but he at least tried to understand people like me. although i didnt agree with everything he did or think he was a saint i won't judge him. we needed more liberals like him. he got it. so unless you know the whole story don't just bash the guy as another loser liberal. here are a couple of quotes.
i like guns. like shooting them. I like holding their sleek, heavy, deadly weight in my hands. I like shooting at targets: cans, paper cut-outs, and—even though I’m not a hunter—the occasional animal. Though I do not own a gun—I would, if I lived in a rural area like, say…Montana—consider owning one. Whatever my feelings about gun regulation—and my worries, as a father, about what kind of world my daughter will have to live in, I think I should have as many guns as I like. Even Ted Nugent should have guns. He likes them a lot. They make him happy—and as offensive as I may find a lot of what comes out of his mouth, I’m pretty sure, based on first hand experience, that he’s a responsible gun owner.
Gun culture goes DEEP in this country. Deep. A whole hell of a lot of people I’ve met remember Daddy giving them their first rifle as early as age six—and that kind of bonding—that first walk through the early morning woods with your Dad—that’s deep tissue stuff. When people start equating guns—ALL guns—as evil—as something to be eradicated, a whole helluva lot of people are going to get defensive.
"The contempt, mockery and total lack of understanding for all those people “out there” by deep thinkers and pundits who’ve never sat down for a cold beer in a bar full of camo-wearing duck hunters is both despicable and counterproductive."
fellow "privileged Eastern liberals" are the reason that Donald Trump was elected.
"The utter contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and rubes is largely responsible for the upswell of rage and contempt and desire to pull down the temple that we’re seeing now,"
“I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America,” he continued. “There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by, and take care of themselves and the people they love."
"When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn, and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good.”
One of the joys of the show is just being completely wrong about places. Gun-country, red-state America is a constant surprise to me. I'm constantly encouraged by how good food can be in places that New Yorkers sneer at. In Livingston, Montana—basically every cowboy there with a gun on a rack in a pickup truck with a Palin sticker on the bumper—they know their morel mushrooms real well. They know how to cook trout. They know what the best part of an elk or an antelope is.
you know, I went right at those things — guns, God, and Trump — and I was very moved by what I found there. I hope that people who watch the show will feel the same kind of empathy and respect, and will be able to walk in somebody else’s shoes, or imagine walking in somebody else’s shoes, for a few minutes in the same way that hopefully they do with one of my other shows.

Also called a script. I sensed a lot of frustration and lip service in him in the shows throughout the years. His globe-trotting "good life" at a break-neck pace must have gotten supremely boring. Still, no justification there for his actions.
