We all know about Ian and his suicide. What's about the surviving members? Did they ever talk seriously about suicide in interviews? Was there a point of time, when Barney was so depressed, that he thought about killing himself? Or Hooky,Stephen? Was IC really the only one who was attracted by death?

Well fook me with a table tennis bat. What kind of a topic is this ? Just because one person was depressed enough to want to commit suicide doesn't mean that the rest would ! My grandfather committed suicide. Doesn't mean that the rest of his family wanted to, does it ?
I can only hope that this thread is a bit of a misunderstanding, a flawed attempt to introduce some deep thinking and reasons why into the place. Otherwise, you are most definitely missing the point matey.
Barney was part of an "experiment" filmed by BBC2 where he took Prozac to see if it helped the creative process of artists.
The result was Raise The Pressure.
The interesting end note of the documentary was the quote - Does a happy artist necessarily make a better artist?

Er, obviously not seeing as Raise the Pressure is shite, IMO.

Yes but it was all foreign to me!
Well, I think there's a curious paragraph where he talks about "laws against suicide". He says that in the humanity history there was never a mention to people who killed themselves without any reason. But "for the english people it's not linked to any cause". "the weight of life is not located in any place particularly, what leads to the desire of killing yourself". Then he says the english way of life "affects the soul at the point the person starts dislike everything". It was wroten in 1749.
Should I start thinking suicide is part of the English culture?

It's good that you never got this thought of trying suicide.Thank God.
i think thís topic isn't far out. if you get into JD and its successor very deep reasoning about life and death is an issue.
I'm sorry that you're disgusted.

I've spent thousands of pounds and 25 years of my life "getting into JD and its successor" and can safely say that deep reasoning about life and death has never been part of the equation. Stick to Turmel.
Well - does it take long?
All due respect 'dreamattacker' - go read the topic "Ian's raped again" - unfortunately you are THE classic example of talking lard.
This is why flirting with this forum....... sorry..... won't say.
Love to all.

Thank you for the turmel-reference.
like i meant before: YOU'RE REALLY A LUCKY ONE
'Attracted by death'..don't think so! Seeing the downside of life and writing songs about it isn't the same thing at all. Not being able to face the consequences of his actions was perhaps closer to the truth of Ian's departure. This thread is too depressing for this site, methinks?
Hobbs wrote in Leviathon that one has no right to take their own life because only God can choose who lives or dies. Therefore, the State has no right to execute people either.
Written about the time of your civil war.
The truth is, Raise The Pressure WAS NOT written under Prozac influence.
The b-side A New Religion was, actually. I clearly remember Barney saying this at the time...

Yes, but let's not forget that Hobbes was making a plea for a monarchy that could wield enough power to prevent everyone from coming together as a society and spontaneously killing each other (i.e., descending to the state of nature). Ah, life = Solitary, nasty, brutish, and short!
