(first of all, I wasn't hoping for them to die -- just sayin' I wouldn't miss them.)
Well sure, I'd rather have them finally "get it", but is that possible for all of them? They're smart people, right?
What's keeping them from realizing they're "in the wrong camp"? It may be something they can't easily change.




Aren't liberals generally okay with suicide? Then why not slow suicide?

@ quagmire - the smokers i dislike are bad about this where i live - smoking at the gas pump. I have snatched a cig out of 2 black guys' and one old white guy's mouth for this with the challenge to do something about it. sure, i got cursed out, threatened, but everybody lived to smoke another day.

^^ Is there any irony to be found in the fact that you wish "a painful death" upon those who disagree with you, yet you argue for personal freedom and liberty?

-----
As someone who has had at least two personal friends kill themselves, I can safely say, "No." Suicide is selfish.

I also think you're confusing suicide with euthanasia.

They're basically choosing to be moral-busybody "serves-you-right" douches... why else would they do that?
So... we're talking about them changing their mind on their own. Apparently, they'd much rather be douches.
How do we get them to stop that? It may impossible.

I'm ignoring that question, because I never wished anyone to die. Learn to read, shit-head.

I've had three.
And, no. I'm talking about suicide. People, regardless of age or health, sanely and responsibly deciding to end it.
Do you disagree with that? Do you even think it's possible as described?

If humans have an innate desire to live, and only a person who is suffering a mental disorder would want to kill themselves, then can't we safely assume that someone who wants to die is insane?

Certainly that's the way the "establishment" would like you think about it....
But I simply can't believe something like that without scientific proof.
It's sort of putting the cart before the horse to first define one aspect of sanity as "not wanting to kill oneself", then condemning suicide as insane.

I mean, have you ever known anyone who, without any depression or sadness, simply wanted to kill themselves "just because?"

5/27/2010 12:24:09 PM

IF all people die eventually THEN all people are dying

IF all people are dying, THEN all people are insane

5/27/2010 12:25:43 PM

It's not limited, I don't think it's ever happened.

Besides, even if it happened once, you're using it as grounds to say, "Hey, my argument is okay because I can find one person who has done this."

titty bar

5/27/2010 12:46:06 PM

my guess was Phillip Morris, but titty bar sounds like a better guess.

5/27/2010 12:46:59 PM

i don't think many people that smoke cigars cough or hack up a lung... or at least they don't very often....

5/27/2010 1:20:46 PM

Well, to be fair, it should be a bit of a wake up call when you cough out your first lung.

5/27/2010 1:23:33 PM

i can notice a difference when i am smoking my pipe heavily and when i'm not (it's the only tobacco i really do anymore)

in the scratchiness of my voice, i cough a bit, and the coughs feel productive. some of it's gonna get in and none of it is that good for ya

Please learn to read. I didn't say that suicide, as I described, is limited... I said that my experience is limited, as in, I am not every person that has ever lived.... then I asked how it mattered. (as in, I don't think it matters)
And I know you don't think it's ever happened -- you stated that you think it doesn't exist.

Lastly, could you have possibly made a better straw-man? You asked a question, I asked why it mattered, then you assigned an answer to me, then continued to argue against it. What are you smoking? Seriously: you just said: "Besides, even if it happened once, you're using it as grounds to say..." How the fuck am using something for grounds to say something when I neither said that thing or had the thing to use as grounds? Also, I even asked how it mattered -- how can something I doubt matters be my argument.... I mean, shit. Really, dude? Can you not see that you just wrote the fucking book on straw-men? What the hell? We can talk about suicide, but come on, keep the fallacies to yourself.

Swing and miss.
There is no smoking crowd, here. It's the liberty crowd. Or at the very least, the non-douche crowd.

i'm not entirely sure how you manage to convince yourself that your opinion constitutes an inarguable and absolute "right," all the while telling the opposing side that their opinion is "wrong"

i suppose you're just that talented clueless?
