It's not SAD the fact that he did it. It's SAD that he's no longer here. But his method of doing so doesn't draw any sympathy from even his own son. I think that's the difference here. Nobody is saying that it's not sad he is gone or it's sad that his parents have to deal with him not being around on holidays. It's just that it's not sad the method he went out on. Regardless of the reasons.

my uncle has parkinson's which sent him into a deep depression and resulted in him attempting suicide (failed though, thank jesus). he's always been my favourite uncle and just thinking about how dark of a place he was/is in makes me too sad for words. so yes, the fact that your dad did commit suicide is very very sad.

you agree that depression is a disease but you have no sympathy for it's sufferers? I love this notion out there that you have 'save' your sympathy for deserving people as if there's not enough to go around or that anyone even gives a shit

i was gonna say i can't believe i even had to make this post but then i remembered these were the p99 boards oh ya

You clearly don't know of anyone who has attempted or committed suicide if it isn't "sad" to you. Yeah they could have changed it, they could have made their lives better. And no doubt they should have taken the alternative. But their life was, to them, not worth changing. That is plain fucking sad, and you are either just being difficult/trolling or just ignorant if you think suicide isn't sad.


not even going to reply to this anymore, such a bad thread

Not necessarily true...once the brain stops producing endorphins and serotonin it's pretty much over.

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.

depression can be as much of a life threatening disease as what those poor unfortunate kids in Africa have.

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.

It's more than being emo. It's tragic.

NOW I'm done with this thread.

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.

Are you implying that depression is, in fact, "incurable?" (since we're calling it a disease)
