Wow, it's remarkable how many people on here are all ra-ra about suicide. Seriously? Suicide absolutely fucks up the lives of those people related to the person who does it. Something like a 300% increased rate of suicide among relatives of a person that decides to end their life.

Suicide is one of the strongest antitheses to the idea that life is worth living. Anybody's life is worth living, in my opinion.

i think there are alot of little kids on this site. and they dont really understand why people attempt suicide

didn't know you were thinking about this...what kind of advice can we give to send you on your way?

Hm?? I wasn't aware this thread was about me thinking about suicide? I guess if you want, send me a bunch of money. I'll probably quit work and start doing stupid shit like get another motorcycle, skydiving, rock climbing, camping in the wilderness. Is that enough attempted suicide for you?

I think it's stupid how we shun suicide. If people wanna die, let em die....so long as they don't take anyone out with them who doesn't want to go.

If they are dying, I see no problem with it. If they kill themselves without taking anyone else with them, same. Now, if it's some d-bag who is in debt like $100k and kills his/herself in order to escape debt and leave family with their debt, i believe we should try as hard as possible to keep their ticker ticking.

But teh bible says that committing suicide is a sin.

Human life is worth preserving. If people really want to kill themselves, they will. Anything short of that is a cry for help, and we should answer that cry.

I completely agree LtPage1! 🙁

The only post that actually makes sense in this thread. :thumbsup:

So the bastard finally turns himself in after shutting down a major artery into/out of California for hours. I wonder how many millions he's cost everyone else. I also wonder if we're already footing the bill for his wife and three kids.

We can only hope that people like you show us how suicide can be done right.
 
Your assumption is that suicidal people are of sound mind. Mostly they are not. Here's a (possibly flawed) analogy, if a angst-ridden teenager threatens suicide, would you intervene or not?

Mental illnesses are the issue of the fucken family. Did you read the example I posted in the OP?

A twice-convicted felon. Skips out when his bail is denied with his wife and three children. 14, 9 and 11 months and held them hostage. Yea, like this fucker is going to be so productive.

If I ever do, I won't go out and fuck with society and screw whoever has to clean up after me.
