We finally are rid of a guy who every week would call ignorance to people who dare not agree with him and now we have 2-3 guys wanting to be the heir to the throne. EVERYONE is entitled to his/her OPINION w/o the BS replies of ignorance, stupid, jerk, ahole, braindead or any other degrading remark no matter if you think you are above them or not.
I also think suicide is the easy way out because simply, it is. I know first hand about mental illness and what a terrible thing it is. I had an ex (thank the Lord she is an EX now) who was fine for months and then all the sudden she breaks down crying in the car for no reason at all and when i asked what was wrong she simply tells me "I should have told you a long time ago, but I have a mental illness and i stopped taking my meds and i cant deal with this anymore, it is not you but the illness" so by that time i had really grown to like her or so i thought and got her some help and she was totally normal acting again once she saw a shrink and got her back on the meds, UNTIL she decided she was fine and stopped taking them again and flipped out 6 months later and that was it, I tried, she refused help so see ya later, get some help and be happy but not with me. I was only with her because i felt sorry for her because of her family life anyways and that relationship was my ONLY regret in life.
So dont tell me I need a freakin piece of paper from some University in the medical field to know what i am talking about. In a years time I lived it and learn't more about things than i ever planned or wanted to pertaining to mental illness and at the time it hurt like hell to see someone I cared about more as a friend than a loved one go thru that, than any time i could have spent in a classroom paying 80k to get that piece of paper. Street smarts are more powerful than "paper" and you do not see me calling someone ignorant because they dont agree with me about suicide. You say it is not the easy way out and I say it is, am I calling you ignorant for it? I think as stated above, that I know first hand what I am talking about also and yet still no name calling from me on this subject. I am no better than you nor you than me, no matter what you think. This is all I have to say so feel free to call me ignorant, i am above that about this subject as it hits home so beat your chest and go ahead. Have fun.
Nobody should judge anothers opinion by calling them stupid for it, unless it has to do with being a red sox or a habs fan and then by all means, carry on.
