Kate Spade Found Dead

Rough crowd in here, per usual.
This ain't Cosmo, that's for sure.

The only tragedy in all this is she has a 13 y/o daughter that now doesn't have a mother on this Earth. I'm otherwise completely unsympathetic towards those who commit suicide. I cannot understand how anyone can allow their inner demons supersede their parental obligation to their children, nor will I waste any brain power on trying.
 
I lived in manhattan for 5 years

I'd say without a doubt that anyone, having lived a Manhattan lifestyle for five years, would at least have liberal tendencies. I'm quite comfortable at Zabar's, not completely out of touch with 7th Avenue sensibilities, actually did art school after a BA, function in a field rife with folks redder than fire trucks, but still manage to know where my lines are and recognize clearly that up with which I will not put – including sentence-ending prepositions in formal speech. Nonetheless, I'm pretty damned sure that Kate was 1,000 M to the left of me in all things political. And I'm fairly certain that you're, by virtue of background and experience, a de facto devil's advocate amongst us. But that's okay. The shooting sports are and should be encompassing, but not of that which would work against our interests from within.

I lived in NJ for 25 years there is a 1 in 10,000 chance you are not a commie, and a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance she was not a communist, just going by experience here. :)
You are off by 5 decimals on me mofo

Living in NYC doesn't make one a commie. Staying in NYC when you don't have to does. I have a few born and bred NYC friends that make Rush and Hannity look like Rahm and Hillary. None of them still remain in the city.

I could care less about her politics. Did she serve her country? Did she suffer some grave mental trauma through her being a selfless servant of the people? Did she receive insufficient medical care because she couldn't afford better, instead of getting treatment she was prescribed one antipsychotic after another with little to no regard for contraindication, as well as zero counseling support? No? Hmm....

In the time from when she offed herself, you can guaran-Goddamn-tee one or more combat veterans did the same, all because of the reasoning I gave above. Which one got the press? Which one deserves the press? Which one does the press not give two flying fucks about?

I rest my case.

I did my best to get out of that joint when I had the chance. In fact, I only applied to programs out of NY almost exclusively, and ended up falling on my sword in a pretty shitty place years ago. I hope to God I don’t have to live in NY again.

I will say that everyone has their cross to bear. Saying that there is no reason for suicidal ideation or completion outside of combat is pretty obtuse. My dad used to say the same shit until I shut his ass up. And this has nothing to do with taking anything away from anyone whom has been in combat.

Okay, so you were a one-man, Right-wing wrecking crew south of Houston St. Congrats. Everything is still relative, though, and as of yet you still don't check out for some. I've been here for ten years to your nine, and there are those who remain unconvinced that I share any of their values. But it's fatuous to claim that one isn't porous in the least bit to cultural osmosis. The difference is in the extent and the effect that it has on the shade of one's philosophical rosette.

And I'm not saying that combat vets have a corner on mental trauma or "justifiable" suicide. What I'm saying is everyone gets all up in arms when a celebrity kills themselves, whether it's Kate Spade or Robin Williams, and the press blasts it all over talking about it, that we should do something about it, blah blah blah. They ignore every single day the men, women, and children who deal with the exact same and not a single mention of them, their struggle, their pain, or the ones they leave behind asking questions that will never be answered. It's a media feeding frenzy with them padding their bottom lines with the blood of others, all for the sake of their advertising income.

I despise selfish celebrities and the obsession America and the rest of the world has with them. I really could give a fuck less if every one of those self absorbed shitty people committed a mass suicide off the Golden Gate. It would make for a better world.

Nothing I read would make me think you a commie, just your 5 years spent in an indoctrination camp, much like John McCain.
Simply living somewhere is not indoctrination. I’ve seen and truly experienced forced indoctrination. I’m unbreakable in that I have not picked up an iota of those forced ideals. However I am jaded as fuck and more cynical than ever
 
And in other news, I clipped my toenails today....

Who cares? She's a stupid psycho NY Bubble Billionaire... based on nothing more than women's vanity.

Robin Williams hanging himself... now that was a national loss. He was funny as s**t. This idiot? Wah, cry me a river. You made 2.4 billion dollars off of handbags and slave-labor shoes. Bet your life sucked.

On the bright side, she kak'd herself the honorable way. By 'not' shooting up a school and waiting for someone to do it for her.

You are operating via assumptions. And yes, I am making that claim. However, I’ve nothing to prove to anyone, and I’m just gonna nod my head at the subtle undertones of suspicion that I am a closet liberal
 
The sad part is that events in the past few years are proving that McCarthy was more right than wrong... His assertions of a 'deep state' communist infiltration of the media, the State Department and Hollywood.... were more prescient than paranoid. And, gee, who destroyed his crusade? Oh, yeah... the very people who he was outing.

Though an argument can be made that he went so over the top.... that he created an environment where it was not politically-correct to go after the Communists.... allowing them to thrive under the cover of crying "McCarthy-ism" every time someone pointed a finger their way.

That said, I don't think there aren't many commies here on SH. They don't survive long!

Cheers,

They’re not in their right minds. They’re not seeing reality. That’s WHY it’s illegal to off yourself (not that it’s very enforceable), because unless you are in excruciating pain with no hope of relief it doesn’t make any sense.
