maybe if someone was a little nicer to that kid he wouldn't have shot himself over a fucking game?

You mean his gf that would not marry him? A game has nothing to do with it, but the drugs I would say did it. That prescription crap is very dangerous, as well are young gf's mixed in with that. Killing oneself over a keyboard playing EQ is simply a " [You must be logged in to view images.

Anyway, we'll just patently wait for Velious and see, eh?

Fucking terrible thread. I don't give a shit whether you think suicide is a cop-out, maybe it is. But if someone feels so bad about their life that they end it themselves, it's more than being "emo." It's no less sad than any other way of dying. You don't make fucking jokes about it, it is NEVER funny.

Its not funny but its not sad and if anything it is insulting. Thousands of people die from things they can't do anything about on a daily basis and this guy had any opportunity to change things. Many people do not have a chance to change their position no matter how hard they try... that is sad. This is not sad because he could have done something and he didn't, so who cares. If anything it is insulting to the millions of people who die without ever being able to have such an opportunity.

Like me ol' friend swearengen used to say,
"Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. "

Shawn Woolley died for somebodies sins but not mine

[Hoggen]

I knew a guy that thought celebrities were stalking him. He went through years of therapy, was on a myriad of illegal and prescribed drugs, and eventually shot himself in the head at age 36.

There are people that look under every moveable object they encounter because they are worried their daughter may be under it. It doesn't matter if it's the size of a pea or a house. They just think their daughter might be under it.

This guy may not have been as nuts as the two cases I described, but when your brain is broken, it's like any other part of you being broken. If you try to use it, you will fail. It's like trying to walk when you are paralyzed.

You can tell such people "you're imagining things. You just need to snap out of it. You're crazy. Seek help." It won't change that their brains don't work right.

As to people in Africa dying of disease..

There are a ton of failed social conventions in tribal societies that lead to the deaths of millions there. Ebola spread much more easily because of the tradition of physically contacting dead relatives during burial rites. Ebola and AIDS are theorized to have originated from the practice of eating primates (ebola from gorillas, AIDS from a species of monkey). AIDS spread more easily because of the tradition of widows being taken in by male relatives of their dead husbands, who then used them as wives; and also because of the high prevalence of prostitution in many of the areas where it became epidemic.
While these traditions aren't mental illness, practicing them in the face of the results borders on it. If you have sympathy for them, and not the mentally ill, you're just being illogical.

Only one idiot in this thread has uttered the word "emo" in a pejorative fashion. Justed wanted to point that out- unless every "stormy" post that mentions the emo thing is aimed directly at that poster.


Arguing that suicide is unavoidable- that it is not a choice- is beyond ridiculous. Perhaps you don't hold it against people who are extremely rude on a regular basis . . .after all, they're born/raised with those emotional & behavioral patterns.
But does that stop you from getting angry with them and occasionally having words?


Suicide is a choice, and it's fucked up. I feel sympathy for the family and other loved ones, not the one who is beyond consciousness.

Yeah man, why can't we just classify everyone under the same umbrella of "crippling, incapable" illness. I mean shit, it just makes sense to do so.
