    Old and infirm should have the right. But a guy of about 16 who shoots himself in the head, because his GF was dumping him is a POS. An drug addict that OD's and had a bunch of kids scattered to the wind is a POS. Other guy who humg himself in the closet for no apparent reason is a POS. These and many more where they were like poor me this will show them went out like are not worth the pitty.

    A man should never out live his usefulness and be a burden if he doesn't want to.

    To put it simply for you:

    If you commit suicide, you are either self-serving, or selfish (we'll leave delusional and/or truly mentally disturbed out of it, due to the small fraction).

    Either way, suicides typically leave a wide wake of grief, questions and disbelief behind. In a large majority of instances, nobody really knows why, note or not.

    Suicide is stupid. Typically a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

    Well even if someone is feeling suicidal and thinks that is the best way out or if they are being bullied they don't have the right to hurt others before they go. I don't care how bad it is. Although, I do think some of the attacks are staged or encouraged for no better reason than politics and power. And they are just evil.

    To call someone a POS for attempting or committing suicide is pretty low. I can think of a lot of people who genuinely earn that title in many other forms....suicide not being one.

    If you've ever known someone that killed themselves for no other reason because they are POS. Then they died how they lived. YMMV.

    If you've ever known someone who did AND you didn't make an attempt to intervene or what ever one could to alter said outcome. Then you're / they're the POS.

    Like the "aunt" who said she always felt something wasn't right at the turpin household, BUT failed to intervene.

    This thread is getting complicated. There are all kinds of situations where you may be aware of something, yet do nothing. I simply don't have the time to babysit adults, or in other situations, refuse to ruin my life trying to intervene in a situation that is too far gone.

    I can see that each response in this thread is from a completely different base of personal experience, for a completely different situation. I think the situations are too far apart and a happy theoretical compromise will not be reached. Good luck anyway.
