OTTAWA When he cut off his right arm with a very sharp power tool, a man who now calls himself One Hand Jason let everyone believe it was an accident.
But he had for months tried different means of cutting and crushing the limb that never quite felt like his own, training himself on first aid so he wouldnt bleed to death, even practicing on animal parts sourced from a butcher.
My goal was to get the job done with no hope of reconstruction or re-attachment, and I wanted some method that I could actually bring myself to do, he told the body modification website ModBlog.

“Apparently this guy has one. ;-)”
Every time I think about saying something to an idiot, I think “leave him be, more chicks for the rest of us”

There have been several in the past few years who want their limbs cut off. Too many wackos in the world.

A friend of mine predicted designer amputeeism nearly 20 years ago. He saw the limits of piercing and thought this was inevitable.

I have personally met a dozen or so SS "disabled" persons.
Without exception they are all frauds; in most cases, two or more in the same family have managed to become "permanently disabled."
Fraud writ large....

I’m not even religious and the epidemic and depth of the sick behavior that is now perceived to be normal is really creeping me out. I’m thinking the demon thing may have some validity.

I remember former talkshow host Chuck Harder referred to this in his program, "For the People" back in the mid to late 1990's where in the then new internet, there was a community of amputee fetishists.

You know I saw this “I want my arm cut off cause it feels like an alien” stuff on “Nip/Tuck” years ago.
If wanting to cut your *ick is off is “normal” than so is this, right?

The herd REALLY needs to be thinned out.
Now it’s clear why there used to be wars centuries ago...
