Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't either understand the fascination with death. It's something that happens. We don't know what it was like in our mother's womb, but yet no one seems to care. So why should we care what happens in death?

lol Yes, that's true... I was thinking maybe he didn't want to use a better weapon, because a hammer is household, so that way, it might have looked like a suicide, or at least would have left police guessing all the way. confused

Speaking of death is not necessarily a fascination with death. No one seems to care about the womb because we KNOW what happens in there thanks to science. Science however, cannot explain things like if there is an after life, which causes alot of peoples interest in the subject. Another reason is that due to self-preservation many people fear their coming deaths, and discussing it makes them more comfortable with the topic.



Not everyone who talks about death wigs out about it. I certainly don't see anyone getting overly upset in this thread. It's just another point of conversation. Like any other subject that effects us all. It can be a negative point of conversation but it doesn't have to be anymore than anything else.

Also I doubt your PoV has to do with being around alot of death necessarily, as so have I, including witnessing two men burn to death as a child. This definately did not harden my heart towards death. If anything it made me more aware of the topic of human fragility.




That's possible, but if he honestly thought that then he really WAS a crappy hitman.

For one, she was obviously a struggler, which means she would have fought him regardless of whether or not he suceeded (This is normal of course, for people to fight for their lives). This would have left marks all over her, giving away it wasn't suicide.

Secondly, I don't think a human being could get enough momentum behind a hammer to crush their own heads (though maybe they could pierce it with the claw since stabby objects need alot less momentum behind them to break flesh). Ultimately though there's alot less painful ways to kill yourself as even the ammount of momentum you'd get with the claw would prolly only be enough to do a minimal ammount of damage and then you would bleed to death. Pills, shooting ones self, or even hanging yourself would probably be easier and quicker.

Thirdly, it's much easier to frame up a suicide with a gun, provided you know where to shoot them (Within a range of somewhere the person COULD shoot themselves. Usually, the sort of a shooting meant to look like suicide is done from the side as it's kind of hard to sneak up on a person and shove your gun in their mouth and it's gonna be hard for someone to shoot themselves in the back of the head.) It's also easier to dispose of a weapon that doesn't have anyone's but your own DNA on it. The bullet can be traced, but there's ways to dispose of the weapon in such a fashion that you won't be caught, or you could, so I hear, alter the chamber.

Basically, while the police force themselves are kind of stupid, forsenic scientists have alot of amazing equipment and technics that help them figure out crimes that leave Gomer Pyle scratching his head. (Which is how I know all this s**t as i'm a bit of a crime solving fangirl <_< >_>

I'm not a hitman! REALLY.).

No one knows or not if there is an afterlife because there isn't one. How can science prove something is there, when it isn't. I don't believe that there are spirits, or ghosts or things that haven't moved on. Simply because how can you have something that isn't visible in a body of heart, muscle, brains and tissue. There is no room for a spirit. It's just our brain responding to our bodies.

:O I heart you too! heart

Do you think I could be an engineer? I love science.

An engineer that understands business.

I am not so much afraid, or fascinated by death. It is simply there.
