Except some have frozen to death sleeping in a park.


Most die of old age; others die young from a form of mental illness
that makes them inject too much heroin, alcohol and pills ( mixed ).


You certainly don't have to be poor/homeless to do that. Remember
Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix? And perhaps Michael
Jackson.


Epileptic seizures ( and the requisite pills ) shorten lives.


What does that have to do with being poor/homeless?


Gambling can get you killed before your time.


Gambling can make you poor and keep you poor. But it won't kill you,
unless to don't pay back those mafia gambling debts!


Driving/Boating drunk/high gets the job done, as eveyone knows.


Or talking on a cell phone while driving, which they say increases
your chance of having an accident as much as when you are driving
while over the legal alcohol limit.


A close friend of mine ACCIDENTALLY died from hanging too long
off his door·knob ( while super high/drunk, no doubt ).


What they don't understand is that it is not the choking, or a broken
neck that kills you from hanging, it is the cut off of blood flowing
through the carotid arteries to the brain. That is how a sleeper hold
works. The thing is, if you are choking yourself trying to get some
masochistic pleasure out of it, if the blood is cut off, you go to
sleep. And once you go to sleep, you never wake up.


Amazingly, kids these days ( “gaspers” ) do that for the high;
it makes them “nut” ( cum ). *Again, there's a mental problem here.


Don't you think society might be doing it to them?


It's called “Breath Control Play” ( “Erotic Asphyxiation”, Waterboarding ).

Bottom line:
* Mental poverty will kill you, financial poverty won't.


Sooooo ........ do you think a buck can be made selling water
boards???
