And for the record- talking shit on people who have killed themselves over something so inane as EQ isn't beyond the realms of decency imo. Have you ever joked/laughed about David Carradine's death, even though it was still someone losing their life?

Totally different situation to make fun of an old sex pervert that died in an accident than it is to make fun of some kid who killed himself because he didn't want to be alone anymore.

Killed himself because he didn't want to be alone anymore? Sounds emo.

I know the anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in everyone.

but holy fuck, this was a human being, with a family, how the fuck would you ghouls feel if this was your kid? or someone you knew?

no matter how you slice it, no matter how you try and sugar coat it and make light about it, this was a tragedy, some poor weak minded kid who in all likely hood was very sick mentally and needed help desperately took his own life over a game - it is NOT funny , at all.

this crosses a line, and if you don't think it crosses a line, then this generation is far worse off than I initially thought.

and yet the equivalent of two Boeing 747s smashing into the side of a mountain happen every day in Africa due to easily cured diseases. I'll keep my sympathy for people who actually deserve it, not someone who had opportunities that most can only dream about. Go preach about 1st world problems elsewhere.

pretty much sums it up. This guy chose to take his life, why should we care? He could have had a good life and didn't(by his choice), there are many people who never get that opportunity.

It's like, guys that jump out of tall buildings, it's because the building is too tall. Damn those tall buildings! Hey it's in the paper, "dude jumps off of tall building!" Must be improper city zoning of course! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dude jumps off bridge? Nah, just a little splash, no one wants to hear that, wont make the paper. But BLOOD and GUTS all over the sidewalk to the horror of all?!? Front page news, and gf that said "eww, your weird" hears it for years. There is just no way of avoiding the obvious.

[Taryth]

I simply disagree. I'm not religious, and yet suicide has to rank up as one of the most terrible "sins" one can commit against one's loved ones. Wasting life like that- depressed or not- after your parent/s and everyone around you have invested so much . . .that's entirely fucked up and I have no pity nor sympathy.

Not like their around to feel shitty about being made fun of anyway, now is it? Respect given where respect is due, someone who is willing to wound everyone they knew in such a manner does not deserve my reverence. Just like David Carradine doesn't.
