Somebody was promising him Hope & Change, but he found out it was a bait & switch?

Since the election of BO, I’ve felt a tad suicidal myself. I guess I’ll stick around though.

"WHy did he want to kill himself?"

"I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never change or never improve," Biggs wrote in the posting. "I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her. I have come to believe that my life has all been meaningless. I keep trying and I keep failing. I have thought about and attempted suicide many times in the past."

In the minds of most Americans, being “moral” is very very easy. The bar is set very low. They don’t reject morality completely because they don’t want to be hated by others and they want to feel like “decent people”. They have an extremely simple and unelaborated maxim taken from the Pagan: “Do as you will but do no harm”. That’s it, the rest is up to interpretation. The do no harm part usually only applies to the following:

-No Shooting people unless there is a murderous rampage or hostage situation
-No raping children
-No raping women
-No stealing from non-relatives or non-spouses without government approval
-No interfering with the pursuit of bestial pleasure

That’s the gist of it but some is left up to further interpretation by individual liberals. Everything else is a choice left up to other selfish mongrels. Human life has no inherent value and the rules that compose this maxim are mostly for the sake of a social contract.

“Personally I have nothing against suicide as long as the person doing it makes the decision.”

You mean, in contrast to committing suicide without deciding to commit suicide?

Exactly.

Like a good friend of mine, an undercover narc said, “he committed suicide, he had 6 bullets in the back of his head”.
