Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

that is so politically incorrect. You are suppose to help support the health care system and your Government by delaying the inevitable by all means possible. After all, who owns your body?

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

The vast majority of American generals are not in their 60s. Most in their 50s, some in their 40s, and a few in their 60s. To stay in the military beyond 40 years is unheard of and requires...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

She claimed it took 3 hours to get him off her. She was a college freshman doing work for him(no sniggering) with the family's approval. Debutante even. Obviously Happy was not happy about the whole...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Would it have been better if he died in a nursing home? Better to do a Nelson Rockefeller and die in the arms of an 18 year old. Actually on top of her, took her hours to get his fat carcass off...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

No,but after 4 decades as a physician, its fairly obvious that the older you get, the less competent you are at physical and mental labors, with exceptions of course. At Mass General, my guesstimate...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Rustic Charm mentioned tiredness. Yes, its a problem, especially when you are just starting out for the first week. One not quite solution that folks have tried is to start your voyage by going over...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Quite likely Crowhurst was unaware or not affected by Piver's demise. Probably unaware of a lot of things. Crowhurst was likely unhinged before embarking on the race; and being alone without human...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Without modern medicine(since the 1940s), the average lifespan would be shortened by 25 years, infant mortality would increase to 40%, and over half the population would experience debilitating...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

On a new moon night, clear skies, out on the open ocean, you can see your shadow cast by starlight. Not to mention all those strange things moving around among the stars. Sailors at sea are easily...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Oh dear clueless, third world medical facilities tend to be very run down, or become rather dilapidated quickly once set up. We set up a clinic on Marjuro back in the 80s. Ten years later we went...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Absolutely!. Each individual makes their own decision, as it should be. Better to exit life on your own terms then on someone else's.

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Heck, I am well past that age. Nope, I want to live and be a royal pain in the butt while society pampers me. Spilled my blood in wars(2 of them), saved the lives of probably over 2000 folks over...

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Re: Solo Sailor Took His Own Life

Sorry about that, but old folks really should be placed in rest homes and out of the way of those who must get on with life. One can quibble as to the exact age, but certainly somewhere in that range...
