Should we be more sensitive? Sorry absolutely not. We don't need a nanny state. We are already breeding a generation of emo pussies with our 'everybody's special' mentality.

What we need is parents more involved in their children lives.
 
[citation][nom]turtlespeed[/nom]Well, I don't agree... Let me explain.1+1 = 2 right?0+0 = 0 right?So explain me how in heavens earth the big bang could happen?The matter that exploded came from somewhere...Just like the chicken and the egg...the chicken came first..not the egg. A Scientist said: well through a black hole the matter came into here and then exploded....Well...this theory is still not complete..it came from somewhere...right...so who send it????????So if there was nothing in the beginning in this universe...then nothing could be made from it --> 0+0 = 0Untill something was placed, then you get 1+0 = 1If there is no one, nothing could ever happen!one word for your lives purpose and goal..... God.You owe him for your life...so don't throw it away please.Talking like there is nothing after death could be a risky choice. And: happiness and tears do control our lives now and then, can't you just press the fast foward button in your life qhen you feel pain? It's a choice aint it?(Personally I thought about death too, long time ago. I am happy that I did not. After years I found out that life's great even if there are a few heartbreaking moments. the sweetness of life is far worth more then the pain for the moment)[/citation]
Not only is your logic flawed but it is also ignorant. You are very quick to shoot down a theory to only suggest what you think is a superior one. Scientists are at odds about how the universe started, but they have more proof then you do of a God. Do I believe in a superior being? I am not sure, whether it be God/Buddha/Zeus/etc, I believe there could be but am unsure. But again, you say that the scientists are wrong because of where did the matter that exploded come from, well where did this superior being come from? This is exactly why this is such a big deal, no one knows and I dont think anyone will ever know.
PS: The chicken did NOT come first, long before chickens there were dinosaur eggs, the question only asks about an egg and does nothing to specify the type of egg.

Either way this has nothing to do with religious believes. Most people do not kill themselves to go to heaven (or where ever) nor do they do it because they believe that it will solve the problem. They mostly do it to end the pain. So please do not drag religion and off topic matters into the discussion (god/universe/etc), also you do not need to make 3 posts right after each other (Edit button....). Lastly I apologize to everyone for going off on a rant about the off topic matter.

Holy shit someone check the news for a escapees from a mental hospital. Seriously, go take your meds or just go in that corner and roll back and forth.
 
[citation][nom]turtlespeed[/nom] Blah blah blah blah I'm a retarded creationist, blah blah blah blah blah [/citation]

One, must I find out how many people kill themselves because of religious bigotry? And by that I mean religious bigots going after those don't believe the way they do. Or just so happen to be born gay.

And two. I'll listen to the scientists and not some retarded creationist when it comes to physics.
 
If you are dumb enough to post everything you feel in a public forum, then you are dumb enough to deserve whatever you'r dumb ass thinks it should do when upset with the outcome of such posting(s).

I laugh at people that kill themselves due to public opinion. They are simply helping to clear out the weakest of our race. I have absolutely no sympathy for them, their families and friends, yes, but not them.

There is still a place for natural selection, and it's name is Facebook and Twitter!
 
[citation][nom]yao[/nom]I never understand why someone has the courage to kill himself and doesn't have the guts to live.[/citation]

You have obviously had a very good life.
 
Depression is often a treatable illness. People suffering from depression think it is all about their life, when in fact, it is usually really about an imbalance in neurotransmitters that can be treated with drugs. Anyone with prolonged deep sadness, feelings of lack of worth, or suicidal thoughts, should see their doctor and ask about treatment options.

A large percentage of people will get depressed at least once in their lifetime, its not about being unworthy. If someone posts on a forum they are already thinking about killing themselves, its just that how people respond is what can affect their perception on whether its worth living or not.

Well life events trigger the depression in which causes the chemical imbalance. Drugs can help with the imbalances, but u need to find out whats causing the depression and find a way to deal with it.
 
Yeah take it seriously after all it is a communication medium. You would help or do something, wouldn't you, if a person tells you face to face that they are depressed or angry. Verbal communication is taken seriously, and why not take the e-comm that way.
 
What the hell. A man for saying he was going to blow up an airport sky-high and gets penalized for it... clearly that's a violation of his rights. This makes me so angry that that I'm going to pull off a Lee Harvey Oswald.
 
Having read through the comments posted about this article, I find it odd that one of the two status updates posted as signs of depression was a quote from a movie and this fact was not brought up. In the movie "Van Wilder" the character quoted a fictional Pulitzer prize winning writer having said "Don't take life to seriously, you'll never get out alive anyway." This was not meant as a suicidal thought, it was about taking life so seriously that we never live our life because we are too busy trying to achieve a goal. There may be other things said by this young man that hinted of suicide, but this one quote serves to project the complete opposite. Inference can be made that no matter how he was doing in school, he would not let that keep him from living life.
 
Its a fact that in this world people have mental ilness and attacking them and insulting them for it is the same as doing so at person in your presence who has a serious heart condition as am example. You can be held responisble for that person taking a heart attack in front of you because you indirectly caused it but did so knowing the persons condition.

People will always argue they can do what they want and have no responsibility over anyone else to one degree or another. If that was acceptable we wouldnt need any law and order. Law and order is there supposedly because people abuse one and other in many ways (though reality is our so called laws end up being abused just to keep order whether abuse happens or not otherwise places like Guantanamo Bay wouldn't have existed).
 
That's exactly what's wrong with this world. Everyone is so concerned about being sensitive. Just get over it already. Kids now get trophies for just showing up and being a part of something instead of having to work their asses off and really deserve it. Be a man, deal with it -- stop being an attention whore and posting how miserable your life is.
 
anyone that kills themselfs is week. Sorry I say it that way but it is true. There are pepeol far worse of then they are. and some how keep on going despite the crap they have to go throu. loock at third world countrys and what they go throu over there and tell me that this ass was not pethedit to start off with
