mass suicide planned for Valentine's Day Get a bigger avatar today!

http://www.wnbc.com/news/4188079/detail.html

yeah I posted this in the Valentine's thread, but it seems like a threajack.

I don't know why people go through so much trouble to stop these things. Who cares. Although the remark about the lady killing her 2 kids is disturbing. I can see stopping it because of that.

the funniest thing about this is they are charging the guy with a crime!. "solicitation to commit murder"- whatever that is. give me a break.

People who place any kind of importance on 'Valentine's Day' should feel free to end their lives whenever they want. Proselytizing among their peers is fine with me also.

You never had a suicide in your family, have you? You have no idea how much damage a suicide can do to the parents, loved ones, friends... Killing yourself is like setting off a bomb: you kill yourself and you hurt your loved ones in the process. My father's cousin killed herself right down the street from where I live. Even though it happened about 25 years ago, you can still feel the after effect of the blast.

Of all the million reasons that prevent me from committing suicide, my obligations towards my children is the strongest force. Suicide is the ultimate ego-trip.

can't say I have had a suicide, but in most of these people's cases, they don't have much loved ones.

Like myself for instance. I very small circle of people know me. I doubt they would care if I committed suicide. My family was never very close.

God damn, I'm thinking of joining that group.

I forgot how much trouble Valentines Day is when you have a steady girlfriend. Turns out I have to work on Valentines Day (I work nights 9PM - 5:30AM; sleep when I get home to around 2:00PM), and so I asked my girlfriend to work with me to plan the day so that we could be together. When I proposed some things, she thought that I was trying to 'rush everything in'. She didn't help me plan the day, and thought she could just ignore the day altogether even though I really wanted to be with her.

Needless to say, we've created quite a mess!!

Tired of ads?

I received an e-mail today that a priest had been rector of our church from 2000 to 2003 committed suicide on Friday. He was found in the office of his new parish dead from a gunshot wound. He had served as an army officer in Vietnam 30+ years ago, where he had his legs blown off by a landmine. It is thought that the chronic pain stemming from his double amputation and depression secondary to PTSD motivated his suicide.

It's human nature to be gullible. You'd be surprised how many gullible people there are out there.

Hell, half of america backed the Iraq war. What does that tell you?

and yes I initially did as well, I can be gullible at times. The only thing I can't be swayed at is forking over my money- I'm too cheap for that.

If suicide is for cowards, then how come it is so hard to commit suicide? For me, it's easier just to continue on living . I want to see how things play out on the global scale anyways. And I want to see who wins the next oscars. That's the only reason I have to live .

I say it is for cowards because they would selfishly take their lives and not stick around to deal with the bad situations that have pushed them there. No concern for the people that they leave behind.

Do you have a girlfriend? That advice is a sure way to lose one. It only takes a little imagination to get through valentines day. Me and my girlfriend have been celebrating for the past two days because we won't be able to be together much on Monday. But yeah he can be an ass about it and let her be pissed.
