It's Raining Top Gun Directors

[ThatGirl]

Kill yourself, hoser.

I was wondering when you'd rear your ugly head.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Kill yourself, hoser.

This would be funnier if it were directed at chairmen...

The Canadian reference might deem it less appropriate but it still wouldn't make it funny.

[Yablonowitz]

The topic is very interesting to me. At what point does suicide become an inevitable reality; is it once you start "toying" with the idea in your head; is it after several failed attempts; or is it only real once the act has been committed?

I'm trying to figure out the world you must live in and am coming up blank.

Oh my god. Why? Why are you?

[TomAz]

Mr Fuzz lives in Slippery Slope.

[captncrzy]

I read that as "Slippery Dope"

It's absolutely absurd to think that every single person has contemplated suicide.

[Yablonowitz]

It's absolutely absurd to think that every single person has contemplated suicide.

Bye everyone. Good to see you again.

[TomAz]

It's absolutely absurd to think that every single person has contemplated suicide.

that's a far cry from admitting the possibility that contemplating suicide 'inevitably' leads to doing it.

[Tubesock Shakur]

Bye everyone. Good to see you again.

You are going to kill yourself?

Finally.

[HotHamWater]

Who the fuck are you?

Just a long-time fan.

I think in the same way there is a reason we don't get to know what really happens after we stop posting on the board, maybe it should be out of Yablonowitz's control and outside of his power to cross that line. It's nothing to do with any sort of religious belief or anything like that. What I do believe is that the internet is a mystery - and human presence on it should be allowed to unfold as it's meant to without our own personal intervention.

[Tubesock Shakur]

He was going to re-make The Warriors? Bullet dodged.

[fatbastard]

People weren't as passionate when goose died.

[SoulDischarge]

However, I do think in the same way there is a reason we don't get to know what really happens after we die, maybe it should be out of our control and outside of our power to cross that line.

When will you people learn and stop trying to play God by making decisions about your own life? You can keep your penicillin and your medical procedures and your careers and and your families; I'll stick to what nature intended: laying as catatonic as a lobotomized pebble as the ebb of time washes over me.

[suprefan]

I was wondering when you'd rear your ugly head.

It's my fucking thread. When did I ever leave. I'm just watching you trying to play God, eh?

Life decisions vs. death decisions. Not the same thing really.

Suicide is literally the only inalienable right born unto humanity. It's the one thing we all get the option of deciding for ourselves, of having control over. To say that it's a universal ill is, frankly, disrespectful to the magical phenomenon that is self-awareness.

If you think that taking your own life is the only thing you have control over or the only thing you have an absolute right to, as a person, it's terribly sad.

[Hannahrain]

I mean I guess you could take your own parts one by one. You have the right to negate your limbs and digits, too.

[RotationSlimWang]

I submit to you that it's an undeniable truth. You can be forced into living all manners of ways that are not how you want to live. It is our only inalienable right in that the other things we think of as "rights" can be taken from us at any moment. If you lived in Iran, for example, you wouldn't have the right to do all kinds of shit. If you did some of that shit, they might kill you. Which just goes to show--even in a world where you're brutally oppressed, the one freedom you can almost always take advantage of is the freedom to die.

[Miroir Noir]

No, it's not sad, it is the only thing that makes us truly free and responsible.

[chairmenmeow47]

this is why people go on hunger strikes and burn themselves in protest. at some point, it does become the one thing you can easily control.

Do you think the ultimate intent is death in these situations?

[RotationSlimWang]

... is the ultimate intent of self-immolation death? yeah.

Guess the initial reports of the circumstances were incorrect.

[Tubesock Shakur]

If its in people magazine it must be true.

[ThatGirl]

The same story is running in the major news publications as well.
