"no matter what they say, the media will catch on to it and take it all out of context, so that it offends someone in the end."

Well, no. If you read the thread, people have actually written considered and thought out reasons why they consider his remarks to be in poor taste. They aren't just blindly following what the media are telling them.

Isn't it also the manner in which someone commits suicide that he is saying is selfish? To have to identify a loved one who has committed suicide must be horrendous enough but 100 times worse if they have been hit by a train rather than, say, taken pills or in a way that the body remains intact.

My Dad was a policeman.
He says that it is not until you have seen someone hit by a train that you realise it *is* possible for the human body to shatter.

It is possibly the one way of committing suicide which involves a large number of people who would otherwise be oblivious...

I'm bored of talking about Clarkson but it seems his comments have been misunderstood with some people here.

He did not say suicide was selfish. Please re-read his article.

I imagine that's why they choose that method, jack: it's final. It's not for those just "crying for help".

[nicholas4300]

Reading these tags convinces me that the country has collectively lost it sense of reality and or humour......am I really alone in believing that Clarkson says what he says because he knows perfectly well that we know that he has a loose mouth and, therefore, the media will report his outbursts, whatever they may be and in whatever context? (With apologies to anyone who has seen/been touched by 'Jumpers'-as I have)

There does seem to be lots of people who get outraged by proxy:-)

This just about sums it up, Toby Young is spot on (as he invariably is).

I agree that anyone who commits suicide and involves innocent people in the act is very selfish.
I don't think suicide itself is a selfish act, but traumatising drivers of trains/lorries/cars etc by throwing yourself in front of them is.
