I’d like to think that, even in Oregon, the cops are smart enough to rule out murder before deciding a six-year-old committed suicide.

The only lesson to learn from this story is that life is a horrible curse and nobody should exist in the first place. Since the state has assisted suicide, maybe the little girl was just trying to beat the rush.

She must have heard about the confiscatory tax rate and 0care in her future!

Maybe she will grow up to be a mortician.
It’s a recession-proof job!

I remember the JonBenet Ramsey case. Assuming police competence is a big assumption.

"Most kids this age are not aware of what death actually is," he told the Yamhill Valley News-Register. "Not until they get to be 8, 9 and 10 do they understand death is final and you don't come back." "I was aware of it as early as two. I also knew right from wrong at an early age. Anyone else?" _______________________________________________ Count me in. I recall vividly being at the funeral of my great grandmother, a small church, freezing cold and seeing her dead body lying there which scared me and I started crying and throwing a fit. My mom told me to be quiet or "you will end up like that, too". I ran out of the church and sat freezing alone in the car. I was about 3 or so.

That has to be the case. No truly loved child entertains suicide at that age. Agreed.
I'm not hearing any mention of a father. Was there a father at home?
To: Flavius
I remember things back to the age of 3yrs old.
When I was 4yrs old I wondered all summer if I was going to die before my first day of Kindergarden.
I dont doubt this 6yr old knew of suicide just perhaps not all the final consequences of it.
Is it me? or is the MSM reporting suicides the last year like Chett99 and the Pit Bull threads.
(btw I like Chett99s threads)

Point taken. But even the idiot Boulder cops never suggested JonBenet committed suicide (although I suppose they could have given the death scene). No, they disagreed on who did the murder, not that a murder took place.

I was a precocious reader and learned at age 5 that the stars were only going to last so many billions of years. This unlikely epiphany put me in mind to my own inevitable mortality. My mother, a non religious person, mocked it.

Joking about the death of a 6 year old would be worse. No, I’m not joking. I believe that life is a chemical disaster.

Life is cruel these days but its not the result of a chemical disaster. God created life good without pain and tragedy. However, pain and death entered the World as the result of man’s sin. Thats why Christ had to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. One day the Lord will return and death and pain will be abolished forever.

Hey, Oregon is the suicide state. We are sending a message that “it’s just another option” with our assissted suicide law. Well if it is an option for one group (cancer survivors, old people) who are we to say it can’t be an option for others.
Ideas have consequences. Laws DO set the moral tone of the society.
I do not mean to in anyway suggest that this was OK. I can’t imagine the anguish the parents feel. But I do believe that it is a symptom of the larger devaluation of existence.
By the time I was six I had been told that God loved me and had plans for me many, many times. Had this girl been told that? Somehow, I doubt it.
