There is nothing courageous about killing yourself because you’re afraid of pain.
Suffering is the easy way…doped on morphine…not even there…People endure incredible amounts of pain before they give up…
Letting go of this world through your own hand is, to my mind, very courageous.
I’ve felt some bad pain before, maybe an 8 on the 10 scale and if it went on and on and became an 11 or 12…for weeks and months… years? And getting worse?
I like to think I could hang on…but I dont know…I really like living. But living in constant serious pain? A person is almost no there already, having to fight that sort of pain, the drugs mitigate the pain…but then they arent there either…
Also, its important to remember to walk in someone elses shoes before condemning them for their choices. No one knows what anothers pain can be like.
Guys, Smapti knows all about suffering. He knows what it means to endure unbearable pain and struggle through via shear bravery and force of will. I mean sometimes his knees hurt…
Yes. But my gratitude to Mr. Rasmussen is for the service he did for others, at the risk of personal loss in life, long before he faced his own death,
How can something that will happen to every single human being, bar none, be antithetical to humanity? By this logic, bowl movements are antithetical to humanity.
You’re insane. You really DO sound like Lord Voldemort. I truly believe that if it were possible, you’d create horocruxes.
It’s not a factual statement at all. It’s an opinion, and it’s a vile one as well. Those people were trapped in a burning building, and scared shitless. It’s extremely easy for you to judge them and call them cowards, but you weren’t in that situation. So shut the fuck up.
People choose death all the fucking time, or put themselves at risk, knowing that they’re accomplishing something. Would you say someone who goes into battle, knowing they’ll most likely be killed, is a coward, even though they’ll be doing something that will help someone? (Aka, a suicide mission?) Someone who dies to save someone else is a coward?
I never said I personally was afraid of suffering, don’t put words in my mouth. I said, however, there are people out there, who given the choice would rather have a short, peaceful death, than a long, drawn out one. And I believe they should have that right.
I’m “terrified”? Who’s the guy who’s so terrified of death who said he’d rather spend five minutes dying in agony, burning and choking, because hey, he got to live longer?
And what would I “destroy”? Who are you to tell me what I would be destroying? How do you know what I believe? Maybe I don’t fear death. Maybe I don’t believe death is the end, or even if I did, maybe, just maybe, for some people – they’re okay with that. Because they’re not shitheads like you, who call victims of terrorism “cowards”. Hey, I heard there were concentration camp inmates who attempted suicide (on man threw himself at an electified fence). According to you, they’d be cowards, right? (Don’t bother answering, I know what you’ll say.)
You really are a horrible person, you know that? There’s a lot more I’d like to say, but I’d rather not get a warning.
Yes, he’s insane.
We established that several months ago.
What kind of fish rises to such bait?
Why are we still responding to his insane rantings?
CA now has an incredibly weak law providing humane exits for a handful of people.
It is good that there is credible information readily available on the Web for those who don’t fit the exact profile defined by law.
In the meantime, the lunatic can bravely proclaim that he will climb down 40 stories of burning building - even when there is no way to climb the building.
I guess he will just climb down by grabbing the burning rebar in the concrete.
Let the lunatic have the last post.
He’s also all about letting people die, if saving them is an inconvenience.
