I’d say we would have to agree to disagree, but I don’t feel it’s my place to determine when enough is enough for another person.
The guilt thing stops most serious suicidal thoughts from actually playing out. I’d guess that many of those can be treated and that the person will eventually find some degree of happiness. But there are depressed people who simply don’t respond to treatment. They should have the same right over their life as they do over what treatment to take for cancer. The same right as a person who makes any other decision with their body. It simply isn’t anyone’s place to tell another person what to do with their body.
I would say that msmith575 deserved this pitting. His every response was childish, crude, and obtuse. As far as whether or not suicide is an option, I would rather have that discussion in more depth in the GD thread. Looking at it, another thread was just opened that is more direct.
Personally, I would like to perhaps add to the pit a bit: I am really tired of seeing people just spout empty, out-of-context, utterly meaningless statistics in regards to something as unquantifiable as suicide. Just because someone thinks that “99.999999% of suicides are unacceptable!!”—besides being obviously made-up—it has no bearing on any real situation. Suicide is something that needs to be addressed by means of philosophy, religion, psychology, etc.
I upset a crazy person. Now go back to playing with your 70 cats, you psycho.
The problem with insane people is that they don’t see the world like the rest of us do. You know who I have compassion for? The sane people in their lives who actually care about them. The people who have to endure their ranting and mood swings and “you just don’t get it’s”. Having to constantly endure their abuse when they accidently set them off because they weren’t sensitive to their “special needs”. Imagine the frustration of having **faithfool ** rant at you “I CAN’T GET HELP!! I’M DEPRESSED!!!” whenever you tell him/her to get some help.
**faithfool ** is the emotional equivalent of a guy in a wheelchair who snaps and curses at everyone around them, bashing people with his chair if they don’t get out of the way fast enough. “Oh that’s all right. He had some bad luck” people say as they walk on eggshells. Everyone else sees a poor wheelchair-bound cripple. I see a prick in a wheelchair.
I’m sorry you’re depressed, but I don’t care. I’m not your friend or your family member and I don’t need to put up with your misplaced anger and abusive posts.
Did I personally insult anyone? Did I call anyone names? Nope. Only thing I did was tell someone (maybe a little bluntly) that their problems were not the biggest problems in the world.
Please…no…not that. I don’t know how I can sleep knowing that someone out there is thinking bad thoughts about me.
Yes…I know how it goes. A bunch of losers will chime in with “he’s a jerk” and “asshole” and what not. I’ll belittle them some. Maureen will make references towards my sexuality, hiding her own secret attraction for me, Eventually I’ll have some actual work to do in the office and your moms will call you up from your basements to pick out your clothes for tomorrow and that will be that.
Have fun.
When someone is pitted and others come in and say that the pitting isn’t deserved because the pittee didn’t do anything wrong and blah blah blah and then the pittee shows up and reveals what an enormous fucktard he is? That’s golden.
Do you have any knowledge that this actually happens the way he describes? Especially the part about faithfool? Would you like to read it again and reconsider your agreement?
Not really. I know I have treated my parents that way and I feel really bad about it. Also, I stated that I wasn’t agreeing with any part that high-lighted faithfool, dude.
So if someone has a verifiable disease which cannot be treated properly and which governs their personality and mode of thought… they’re to blame for it? Maybe I should get angry at my senile grandmother when she forgets things?
I’d wager that anybody who has suffered and struggled with chronic depression and tried every medicine known to man without any real gain would maybe not be totally down with the idea that they could just “do something” and “snap out of it.”
So, you are saying that you were insane? Literally insane? We are not talking about someone being a brat here. msmofoasswipe is accusing the insane of being malingerers, and causing more problems for their loved ones than they themselves are having.
Just to be fair, you are stipulating that 1 out of every 10,000,000 people have a legitimate reason for suicide. Maybe you should have stuck with 99% or 98% because I find it hard to beleive, that world wide, only 1 out of 10,000,000 people have a painful, horrifying debilitating disease that they yearn to be freed from. Under your assertion, if there were ten billion people in the world, only 1,000 people would be dying of debilitating diseases.
