This is someone who's in pain, and you think the appropriate thing to do is pick apart other people's posts and start a debate about the ethics of suicde?
Yes, there are sometimes reasons for suicide, among terminally ill patients for example. But we get these suicide threat threads here once or twice a month. Most of the time, what they need is sympathy, empathy, understanding and a listening ear. People who are depressed and suicidal do not think in a rational way. Why on earth would you tell him "Just think about what you really want to do." How is that helpful at all?
You know, I really don't give a honeysuckle what you think of the rest of us. We're trying to encourage him to keep living, and you want to start some dumbass debate. Why don't you take it to the debate section?
Are you being intentionally ironic or you just dont see it?
I didnt pick any post apart, you did (mine) i gave my opinion in a general way, but somehow thats wanting to start a debate.
Now the best part is when after having argued against my position you say "You know, I really don't give a honeysuckle what you think of the rest of us. ... you want to start some dumbass debate. Why don't you take it to the debate section?" I would believe you if that was all your post, but the previous pargraphs just make this last part a bad joke.
Now please guys, this post is about brian7 and his issues, if anyone else feels like picking my comments and opinions to start a debate, please do it by pm. I just didnt answer this by pm because I think i a very cheap way of arguing against someones position but its pretty common on forums, please dont do that.
