    But you and your crew seem quick to sit in judgement.
    Yes you were. YOu were making him out to be the next political activits of the year. That is what people on here got judgemental about. If anything all the ire was directed to your elevation of him to some sort of anit-bush saint.

    It's a simple case of a very disturbed young man who ran into a lot of problems, got involved in the political debate and along the way put all his hopes and dreams on something that in the end is transitory. It could have easily been the affection of a young lady or the hopes of the Atlanta Falcons.

      No, they were criticising him personally, yet annointing that monk to saint status. You can't say one is acceptable because I agree with his political views and the other I don't because I don't agree with his political views.

      Now WHO is making this a political issue???

      Sure, it could have been, but the fact that he traveled all the way to Ground Zero says it all.

        I think the monk was pretty stupid to. Only thing a person can say about him is that he had a pair of balls for setting himself on fire at an intersection.

        It says that an emotionally disturbed man bought into all the crap about the end of the world now that the evil Bush was re elected. That is what it says. Nothing more.

        One of my best friends went to his ex girlfriends house and blew his brains out because she had dumped him. What does that say about him? Even though he was a good friend and I had grew up with him, I can still safely say it was extremely stupid and damned selfiish to do what he did.

          No it doesn't, he could have simply wanted to join the other souls that died there.

          ACK!

            I have more experience with mentally disturbed people than anyone else on this board, PERIOD. Including people who eventually commited suicide and those that failed at the attempt.


            What is most disturbing are the attitudes I see here regarding what he did.

            Sava is correct, this punitive, they are weakminded judgemental attitude towards them is part of the problem.

            Okay, so say someone in your family tries to commit suicide and fails. What do you do, scold them for being a coward and tell them how stupid they are?

            Great rehabilitation program.

              And by the way you using your friend as an example, I could get on your case about using it to try and prove a point in the forums, but I didn't.

                The fact remains that him travelling there all the way from Georiga is significant.

                  Yes, I'm sure there is, but you can't say what it is.

                  It could be the reason I said, as far as you know.

                  • So in that case, none of us can really say WHAT it was that made him do it.

                    Though I have my opinon.

                      After discussing it on another forum, I have come to the conclusion that the monk made a fundamentally bad decision, as well.

                      As long as there's life, there's hope.
                      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                        Yet, that is what you were arguing the most in the beginning.

                        Suicide is stupid any way you look at it. It doesn't slove problems.

                        It's selfish and it is cowardly. It's the ultimate "run away from your problems" solution.

                        That doesn't mean I don't feel for the poor guy, he needed help and didn't get it, for whatever reason.

                                Like I said I have my opinion. Which I believe is correct.

                                I agree. Unless you are terminally person with no chance of survival, and are in a great deal of pain.

                                It's selfish and it is cowardly. It's the ultimate "run away from your problems" solution.
                                Tell that to someone considering doing it. I'm sure you will help sway their decision.
