beevul wrote, post 7: I support people being able to take their own lives for any reason. It is THEIR life and their body after all, just as a womans body belongs to her alone.

I replied: High school grads get jilted for the prom, depressed, but OK by beevul if they wanna, eh?

beevul replied: No, I don't want anyone to take their own life, however, the lives of others belong to those others, not to you or me or society.
A presumption otherwise, as you have so aptly demonstrated, is the textbook definition of warped (in addition to the anti-gun mindset).


I presumed only what you yourself wrote, that it would be OK for someone to "take their own lives for any reason". Which would obviously include impulsive suicides based on a temporary setback. Which is an asinine position to take, which is you in your nutshell. You never heard the axiom that 'suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem'? usually the case.
Even assisted suicide doctors will only consent if the suicidal patient is deemed a forlorn hope.
You are ineptly trying to defend suicidal patients right to die, with suicides in general. You desperately need to reword your repugnant position on this.
