Your Opinion On Suicide?

[Senhor Perfect]

yeah it's the same for me personally, but i can also understand why it really messes some people up for a long time.

This dude i went to hs has dated this girl since he was...16? and she was 14 (super religious people, whatever) and her brother shot himself in the face with a shotgun in his room with the family at home, i dont ask about it but i see posts about him on facebook still. The older i get the more i understand why more women eat pills and guys shoot their face off.

Then that dude was an asshole. Like D'Z said, there are plenty of non gruesome ways to do it.

Than that dude was an asshole. Like D'Z said, there are plenty of non gruesome ways to do it.

Agreed. However, he was 13 and from a good family, i have no idea how it all went down but i remember hearing about how religious they were and it was something he hated. Blah blah blah, at the end of the day it's all about the circumstance, that was the only point i really was aiming at making.

Being alive is winning the hardest lottery ever. The circumstances have to be just right for a woman to get pregnant, you have to be that one sperm out of millions to fertilize that egg, then you have to survive in there and not turn into a miscarriage or get aborted. If you don't realize it's a blessing to be here after thinking about all that and you don't think it's worth living, then go. As for the assholes that constantly call suicide hotlines and to the whole "cry for help" thing, go fuck yourselves. Shit or get of the pot.

winning the hardest lottery ever? How about powerball? There are billions of people who won the 'being born' lottery, but I don't have 300 million to show for my troubles.

I think it's insanely selfish, but certain circumstances are obviously something i could never wrap my head around - there is a really awesome netflix doc on some older man and his wife going to Sweden? I think, and it was because his body was withering away. It's certainly not dying with dignity but i also believe people can do what they want tbh.

Switzerland. Switzerland has legal "death aide" as it is called. Sweden does not.

The US has the opposite. We keep miserable old people alive on life support against their will all being funded by tax dollars. horray

We used to have real good elder care over here (not great, but real good). It's still decent but the current government privatized it so now it differs so much in quality from old folks home to old folks home. Some are real good, some are horrible.

There are some reasons why I would consider killing myself. You can call me a coward, or taking the easy way out, but I'd never want to go through what my grandfather has gone through. Watching him deteriorate is worse for my family because he is a shell of his former self. How about constantly worrying about 3 a.m. phone calls, and if he is going to be okay. How about two remissions and him losing his ability to walk and talk. Going through four years of rehab only for it to come back. Call it weak minded, call it what you will, but I will take my own life before dealing with any sort of illness. Just my input for what it's worth.

I don't consider it a cowardice act whatsoever. Again, if people weigh the options and come to the conclusion that suicide is their best option, for whatever reason, that's their business IMO and they should kill themselves. I don't mean to sound cold, that's just how I feel. I realize some people suffer from mental illness so they might not be thinking clearly, but that's Darwinism to me. Sounds harsh I know. I do agree with @geekgoddess though about it becoming a cultural thing in the US. Depression is in, man. It is almost like people want to be depressed, just look at how many people are on antidepressant medication vs how many people are truly suffering from a chemical imbalance in their brain causing real depression. But people line up for those pills that basically turn you into a lifeless zombie from what I've seen. But they are 'happy' lol.

In a case like you are talking about, how is it cowardice? If your quality of life has deteriorated that much and there is no hope of a legitimate turnaround and you come to the decision that it would be better to just go out at that point having lived the life you lived that is 100% cool in my book. Suicide is just one of the many personal freedoms I choose to believe in. People should have the right to end their own life if they really want to. Simple as that. Nobody should be able to look down on your or judge you because its your fucking life. Do what you want.

Oh I understand what you're saying my dude. I was just responding to people that think it's looking for an easy way out and weak minded. Just wanted to throw a scenario out there where I would totally consider it and think it's justifiable.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

There are plenty of reasons to consider suicide. What if you were sleeping and a crazy one handed hook man just comes in and slashes your dick and balls off? Not saying I definitely would off myself but the thought would have to cross your mind.

Always on point with the light hearted humor lmfao. Agreed, that would cross my mind as well.

You're sick just for thinking that.
