Are you God?

I'm guessing Robin Williams was a coward.

Right, so you have a category for legitimate suicide folks. Unbelievable.

People make judgement calls on things they don't understand. It's that simple. It's not just this topic.

It's selfish to you because you don't understand it, therefore you make judgement calls. Like I say, educate yourself.

And we should accept your 'reasons' for someone to commit suicide without being called 'cowardly'?

As I said, many reasons exist for suicide. But according to you, certain situations give people a 'pass'. Except, mental illness doesn't give them a pass. This is the problem with society and mental illness.

In that state of mind, being selfish never enters their mind. Like I say, educate yourself.

Exactly. It is a complex scenario and no one should judge anyone that commits this act.

You don't think Sue was depressed?

You need to research the topic of suicide. Broaden your mind. Nothing anyone can say here can educate you. Educate yourself.

So you are saying that people can commit suicide if the reason is valid according to your agenda?

It's not selfish. It's a person suffering tremendously.

Suicide is not selfish. For goodness sakes, why do people feel they have the right to call suicide victims 'cowardly'. Let me state that again. Suicide victims include the person who actually committed the act as well as the people they left behind. Sometimes people who commit suicide are mentally ill and sometimes they are physically ill. At the point of suicide, do you really think they are asking themselves 'Am I being a coward'?, 'What will happen to my family'? Of course not. They are well beyond that point of thinking rationally.

You are actually pointing out another members posts considering you are a moderator. Do you not see a problem with this?

So you are championing his comments.

Ugh. Probably so. My mistake.

I don't understand your championing his posts? Do you think we can't analyze them without your comments? Why would a moderator weigh in on his posts?

Who is asking for a prize. I'm asking for integrity

Uh no that's not what i was referring to. I will post later when I'm at home. In the meantime since you seem to be so informed you should double check your facts.

Are you even aware of harpers latest immigration policies? Maybe You need to look them up.

Seems a bit naive that you would think so.

However if you want members to respond in kind members should provide credibility to their opinions. Otherwise it's just he said she said and denigrates quickly with no one interested in contributing to the thread without serious contemplation.

That may be true but at least providing cites add credibility to a post. That is all I am questioning.

Exactly. Encourage a female friend to run. We certainly could use more of them!
