[Conservative til I die]

While I agree that free speech is not an absolute and sometimes needs to give way to good taste and etiquette, this is also not a completely private forum. It's open to everyone here, and to ask that everyone believe the same thing about the topic of suicide and treat it the same way is asking too much, IMO.

There's a lot of confusion on this thread. Part of it is the "socialist " push to view the issue as a physical thing, which it is not. Doesn't that make sense? When was the last time you heard a Democrat psychologist, and they all are, make a moral judgement? I've been through depression, psychiatrists, psychologists; you name it, and it always comes down to the same thing: Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and go on. In fact, studies reveal this to be true. OK, I don't have references readily available.
