some people are just inconsiderate. many suicidal people are very considerate and don't pull sh*t like that. someone should make a harpoon gun thing that hooks into these peoples flesh so you can reel em in quickly without the stupid negotiation crap.

i don't think one of the reasons for suicide is stupidity. i know a lot of very intelligent people that killed themselves.

Smart people can do stupid things.



I might not yell jump but I would not be stopped waiting to see the results. I would run them over if I they refused to move.

No.

I wouldn't want to be directly responsible for someone ending their life.

If they're determined enough they can do it themself.

:D I like it! Oh, I suppose it should be an adhesive pad instead of a barbed spear, but either way would get the job done.

Absolutely. I can't stand indecisive people, they drive me crazy. Either kill yourself or get the hell out of my way.

Well, if nothing else this thread clearly demonstrates which posters are adults and which are children.
