What are your thoughts on suicide?

Personally, I hate people who view suicide victims as 'weak' or'pathetic'. Although Ive never had any one I know do it, some people have real problems and just can't see another way out. Not everyoneare as lucky as some people.

What are your thoughts?

It's the easy way out of your problems.hojobojo

I agree, it's the ultimate way of running from your problems.

I find is pretty wasteful. Even when things are really bad, it's not really that bad.

I don't look down on people that are suicidal or commit suicide though.

The only "victims" of suicide are the friends and family members who cared for the weak and pathetic individual who took the coward's way out.

It's your life, you do what you want with it. No one else has the right to say otherwise.

There are people starving in third world countries struggling to live everyday. Save the air for people who do appreciate life...

How can you say that unless you have walked in their shoes? Not everyones life is all happy and perfect. Some people suffer all the time, plagued by depression and anxiety....

Walked in whose shoes? someone who's committed suicide? That may hinder my ability to post on Gamespot.

Generally you'll find a mental incapacity of some such associated with such an act.....LJS9502_basic

So you are saying those who commit suicide unintelligent or weak-minded?

Im just saying you cant pass judgement on someone when you havent experienced what they have.

blah.

im bored as you can see.

they are not pathetic or weak,they are suffering and refuse to suffer anymore.

That's a silly thing to say. Of course we can judge others without experience! Going with an extreme example: are you saying I can't judge a pedophile unless I've "experienced" that same lust for children that drove him to commit his horrible acts?

You are actually right on that one. In ancient Greek, it is common for elder men to love young boys, and Greek philosophers sometime even allow young boys ingest their semen as an symbolic act of passing down the kowledge. In today's society that is completley perverted and illegal, but it was perfectly acceptable at one point. The reason you refer to such thing as "horrible act" because you live in a society that consider such thing horrible, which also shows your lack of view from other perspective.

Just because you can doesnt mean you should

Yes, I think it's the cowards way out. But, I wish them all the best.

My uncle's friend who I've been close to since I was extremely little, shot himself half a year ago, and everyone in the family is having a hard time coping with it still. My friend's father commited suicide, which is upsetting considering he had commitments in life to his daughter and wife and he ran away.

Every one has the right to do what they want to their own body and with their ownlife, so long as they don't harm another living person. That includes suicide.BuryMe

Easy way out...hooperfax006

and there is nothing wrong with that. Why walk to school when u can drive? sometimes taking the easy way isnt a bad thing.

That's absurd. Of course we should judge! That's how society evolves. We observe something (suicide, etc.), debate its merits, and judge whether or not that something should be smiled or frowned upon.

Worst mistake you could ever make.CptJSparrow

more like worst decision you could ever make... but i am indifferent, you never know whats going on in someones life to lead them to decide thats the solution or "way out"... to each his own

suicide is a big solution for small problemswhoody12

[QUOTE="whoody12"]suicide is a big solution for small problemsBuryMe

Well they are small if you compare them to what problems others are having in f.ex third world countries. You are as a person insignificant to the big picture. Which makes it even more depressing to live.
