Solitary confinement for the lonely.
My team lost.
I'm so depressed!
Hey! Wait a minute guys! I'm not THAT depressed!
What would we do without a bunch of "sensitive," angry, leftwing nutcases looking out for our well being?
SAM-E is available over the counter and is the best happy pill around.
More creative ways to get to zero population
"Following the movement’s strong anti-Catholic sentiments, Minelli blamed “religion” for stigmatising suicide, attacking this “stupid ecclesiastical superstition” against suicide and euthanasia."
Thank God someone has the fortitude to speak out against outrageous practices and the culture of death.
The culture of death is already pushing to be allowed to euthanize people who are not terminal, and do not want to be euthanized. Terri Schiavo and Haleigh Poutre are just a couple of the better known victims. But there are many, many more.

Thank you! My husband of fiftenn years suffers from depression. He's totally fine, and after a four year battle, he's on meds that work for him, and he's also changed aspects of his life that help with his "weird brain chemistry." (No booze, getting enough sleep, eating well, exercise, etc.)
I'm all for socialists/liberals wanting to "off" themselves. Can I, in clear conscience, actually allow them to do it? Unfortunately, no.
There is no slippery slope! Nothing to see here -- only compassion and caring! /s

I was just thinking about a dear friend I lost two years ago. She was 45 years old and died of liver cancer. She worked so hard and played so hard. She was so active and full of life. I was wondering if somehow she knew she wouldn't have enough time down here to get it all in. Maybe that's why some people are more fired up. I don't know.
"Depression is treatable, it is NOT a terminal illness." - Life itself is terminal illness. But are these Swiss depressives so depressed as to need assistance in suicides? Switzerland is an armed country, and those needing a poetic touch could always go in the mountains and fall from there. At least the scenery would be uplifting.
That's right.
I don't know either. I had a friend who was up most of the time; it was just her nature; life hadn't handed her any better than me. I suppose it could be argued that I got a better deal in some ways. Sometimes part of it is just in the genetic makeup, although I'm not a fan in blaming all our problems on our genes, but they are finding out more and more about what causes some things.
To me it's like the chicken and the egg. You get angry. It changes the chemicals in your body. You can feel it. It subsides with most of us. Was it the chemicals that made us angry or the anger that cranked up the chemical output to the point of imbalance? Maybe that's not a good analogy but the best I can come up with now.
I like to be around people who are fired up if they aren't too much so. People don't like to be around depressed people and avoid them, and I can understand why. They can bring you down if you let them and you have to set limits on some people, not all depressed people are like that.
I'm sorry about your friend. Some people just seem to know. I'm always amazed when people are handed a near death sentence due to some incurable disease and they go on with their lives, living to the fullest they know. I didn't know her, but I worked in the same place with a youngish woman with incurable cancer. She worked until her last days, then died that weekend. Same with a crossing guard we had. I admire their spirit.
You took the words right out of my mouth. The nonsense from the left never stops. On the other hand, if they start killing themselves in huge numbers, it might mean fewer of them voting. Just as long as they don't start strapping bombs to their bellies before they put out the lights, I might have to reconsider my position on this issue.
You sound like such a great person. I am sorry you are afflicted with chronic depression. I hope one day they figure out how to actually cure it.
Hopefully Babs will move there when the GOP wins the white house in November.
The vey idea makes my skin crawl.
I've been depressed, but to have THIS available is blasphemy. Esp when suicide is made so nice and painless...
No doubt they detested blessed John Paul so Great for not stepping aside.
