People who want to die are not crazy. They just have financial difficulties usually.

Nice to see people pull shit out of their ass and the rest of you agree with it. Non of my friends had financial difficulties, they were sick and given that most of you agree with this dumb statement.... atheists more intelligent I'm not so sure after reading this thread. Maybe I just don’t see this as funny as the rest of you since I’ve witnessed it up close perhaps one day you will understand.:|

I didn't most people agreeing with this statement. I personally think that the statement is false. I also think that some people deal with uncomfortable topics by making light of them so I'm sure that no one was trying to diminish your friends' lives with their comments.

Add me to the list of those that didn't agree with the original statement but have been grouped in agreement because I maintained silence on the subject. No, wait, I questioned Kamikaze about his facts regarding 65% of suicides are blamed on the IRS.

My take on the original comment is that it was uninformed and hasty - I personally didn't think it would warrant a followup.

If it's such a big issue, Rob, why didn't you respond to it?

I apologize for my pervious post, only some of you agreed with it. I think I'm just taking this too personally. I'll move on to other threads and once again I apologize for my generalization.

I said that because that was a hypothesis that I wanted to make and see if people agreed with it. It wasn't based on anything. Personally I often feel like I want to die after I think about problems related to that and it's the only thing that ever gets me on that train of thought.

I have no respect for those who commit suicide.

I reccomend it for people that irritate me.

What about some old man with no family and terminal bowel cancer? Should he suffer the ultimate pain in the ass and spend his last days in constant pain? Suicide is selfish, but so is driving a massive SUV. It's those bastards who jump in front of trains and make everyone late that don't deserve any respect.

Are we talking about assisted suicide? I guess I mean people that don't have a good reason to. Like, the only person I know that has done it was a total jerk and tortured his family, I was glad to see him go.

Just watch a sensitive topic go down the crapper. Suicide is a personal choice. It's not for everyone but there are people out there who need to not be judged by such a choice. Death is considered the ultimate "evil" and the fact that some people bring it on themselves is beyond your realm of comprehension; however, that is in no way a reason to pass judgement.

I live to irritate the right wing nuts
