Suicide...permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Do they have a Depraved Indifference Homocide law in Fla.?
Can’t the people who egged him on be charged in his death?
>Suicide...permanent solution to a temporary problem.
You need to step back when you think “Well, it IS a solution.”
actually it’s a temporary solution to a permanent problem if you believe in an afterlife
It exists in NY.
At least he won’t e contributing to the destruction of the gene pool!
Soon we will be watching gladiators killing each other in an arena and betting on the winner.
Um . . . . 'scuse me, we already do - it's called hockey!! This is a "sport" in which, occasionally, a game breaks out!!
Excuse me? What is your problem a**hole? A poor kid killed himself and you say something so ignorant? My brother committed suicide and I dare you to say that about my brother to my face.
The secularists took religion and morality out of the public arena; as a consequence, aany Americans will believe in nothing, which means that they will believe in, and do anything, no matter how immoral, unethical or hurtful to others. I’d say I was astounded at the mendacity of those who urged this child to kill himself; unfortunately, I’m no longer surprised but fortunately, I am still disgusted by the fact we live in hte same society as such ogres.
I think a lot of the people who were supposedly egging him on weren’t taking his statements seriously.
The internet is full of people trying to scam others and get attention. I’m not surprised that some people thought this was a fraud.
My father killed himself and no one in the family objected and all visited him before his demise but I guess @ 92 he had a right to.
Personally I have nothing against suicide as long as the person doing it makes the decision.
Well, first off, your point was that this world was better off without him makes you a jerk. Secondly, this was a 19 year old kid who felt worthless and what you said makes you a jerk. Lastly, having no problem with your Dad committing suicide makes you a jerk and makes me glad your not my son. Your attitude and lack of compassion sounds exactly like the type of people egging him on.
DO you know where the video is?
WHy did he want to kill himself?
