Anonymous Coward User ID: 1140703 Spain 10/24/2010 05:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | economic/financial issues are not what makes people commit suicide. Personal issues are. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1119730Sadly, most people have been successfully indoctrinated into believe that both are the same. We are being driven to believe that if you fail financially, everything else fails, and people kinda help each other into believing that, like a chain reaction. We don't just need a better politic and financial ways to do things. What we really need is to re-learn how to be an Human being, and not just another gear on the huge machine that is society today. Believe it, the ones that handle the machine don't care about a single gear. It can be replaced. BRAV the fuck O. Portugal. Ive been thinking about this a lot lately. Here in the US. Its all money. u dont have it, u are a loser. andf the system is setup in a way, that if you fall, even once, if you fail .....its really hard to "get back in". No mercy when it comes to taxes. And since you didnt opay your taxes, people dont hire you. Have wage garnishments? LOSER! Get him the fuck out of here. same with credit scores, and court sytems and driving laws, You cant oay insruance, they take your license now you cant work and never will be able to pay insruance. issue after issue like this.... this adjustment is going to kill people. like OP just posted. many wont make it. but the beat will go on, people will go on... i would like to encourage people to start taking care of each other. if youre a cop, let that fucking guy go cuz he couldnt pay insruance, tell him, get it done when u can. on and on......this is the only way, we at the bottom must band together. |

Armchair ding dongs are almost always wrong. Hey where do we mail the first stone for you to toss? whatchu talkin' bout willis? Me commit suicide?..ain't going to happen and yes it is the fucking cowardly way out. You have not been faced with a situation that would force you to consider........how about burning from heat and not being ablre to breath and being 1000 feet above ground level.....you can stay and continue to burn or jump......? You ass-whole think you know the answer.......you do not! I Recall that type of situation at the World Trade Tower 2001 terrorist attack. Some decided to fly.........you would of course......? Why is the arrogance at your level? |

It's just so typically Randian, always foisting your own costs off on others and then demanding "justice". . Whatchu' going to do then, Sparky? Start a shelter and buy em a supply of lithium? |

The Biss (OP) User ID: 1019639 United States 10/24/2010 05:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The odd thing about the whole scenario today was this: Today at our church during our "Sunday school" the question arose, "Is suicide an unforgivable sin?" We have a pastor from Kenya, Africa who lives with us. He has his doctorate in theology from SE Baptist Seminary. The Mrs and I posed that question to him for a lunchtime roundtable discussion. Dr Njoroge, my wife and I agreed that Christ's death was suitable retribution for all our committed sins, past, present, and future... which would include the sin of offing oneself, even if the offender was a believing yet manically depressed Christian. The creepy thing is that, at the same time we were having the conversation, my brother-in-law was sitting in his truck two hours drive away, with a revolver placed against his temple. |

I think my faith in humankind is nearly gone. I'm fairly old now and the effects of age alone take their toll. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 985394probably the most selfish act a person can do. I won't deny that both Pete and Ken were morose and taciturn people. I just wonder how/why financial pressure would lead someone to this form of behaviour adaptation. |

I won't deny that both Pete and Ken were morose and taciturn people. I just wonder how/why financial pressure would lead someone to this form of behaviour adaptation. maybe because in this society a person is valued according to what they have and maybe because people arent always there for eachother very sad |

It takes balls to kill yourself instead of dealing with a bad situation...hahah yea right. society brainwashed every1 to say, its selfish and curse their memory. thats y in the middle ages anyone who committed dsuicide, their families would be locked up/imprisoned. why does society hate suicide? because they lose a productive tax paying member and the people who grive around them also risk losing productivity. remember, were in a MACHINE. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1073894 United States 10/24/2010 06:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a friend that was caught up the wave of financial murder-suicides in Las Vegas shot his wife before turning the gun on himself; another friend, who recently had heart surgery, is in the process of losing his business, and home to foreclosure has been drinking heavily and gorging on all-you-can-eat buffets, giving away his things which usually precedes suicide. Am hearing more and more talk of single, aging, second-wave feminists are scared to death of losing their jobs, as 70% of the jobs in the public sector are made-up work for females, suspect to see more coming out of this demographic as the lay-offs accelerate. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 578383 United States 10/24/2010 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | also no one owes anyone anything, were put in this earth by force. and no matter what u say, luck is EVERYTHING, luck of the genetics u got, the family u got, the opportunities u get, country your born in and what happens to us. i think the suicides selfish people are hurt most by it because the persons gone forever. but cursing their memories/insulting them is wrong. because their spirit lives on and is still suffering, they need love and support from beyond the grave. |

Seriously in many cases these people are really just butthurt because the person how killed himself was directly responsible for taking care of a group of people. Often he was doing this alone with no backup... shit i would off myself. But that is why im not getting locked down with a number of dependents to enslave me. Just look around at all of the slaves and endenured servants in our supposed free country. Frankly i think the high volume of drugs and drinking keep the suicide numbers down... |
