Hmmmm......about the only thing he'll get if he jumped would be a broken leg if there is no traffic. Let him jump, then scoop his butt off the pavement and throw him in jail.

I always find it sad that someone feels things are that bad and thinks suicide is the only or best answer.

Just because it's not that high doesn't mean it couldn't kill him.

Now if I semi happens to be making his way along there at a, oh lets say 65-70 MPH things could change dramatically

Oh yeah, that would do it. But as long as all of them are sitting still on the highway I don't think we'll have to worry about that in this situation.

I agree with King. If they guy wants to kill himself, let him. It's his life.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's contemplated suicide. I'm not sure how far any of the rest of you got, but I had the barrel in place and my finger on the trigger. But the thought of 'just wait until tomorrow' never left my mind, so I decided to listen to that.

However, I've got no problems with suicide. It's a personal choice. Just like sex and drugs and rock and roll.

People who make public displays, though... I say put a bunch of those inflatable blow up things under the overpass and then push the guy off. Arrest him for stopping traffic and give him a psych evaluation to make sure he's not crazy. It's not crazy to want to end your life, but some people have mental disorders, y'know?

Have you ever seen a child in pain from a suicide.

You would not want to make your child feel that much pain. She sobbed so hard it turned into moaning...Man thats hard to watch!

Please don't be so selfish to think your child could careless....They do care ans they actually blame themselves for what happened...Maybe if I, or I should have or why didn't I? and on it goes.

I'm not poking fun or anything. I believe in a fundamental human right to be able to end your life when and where and how you want, if you so choose. Don't think that those contemplating suicide haven't given thoughts to those they'd leave behind.

I can respect your belief in it's absolute wrongness. I just disagree.

But what if the person was drunk? The person I am refering to would get drunk and do things he would not do normally. The next day after he would recover from drinking he could not believe what he had done. Only the next day after this night of drinking I was picking out a coffin.

Most don't really want to die, they want help and just don't know who to turn to or how to ask for help. A person with a mental illness, for example might think suicide is the only way to escape the pain. However, there are medications that can save lives. Talk about survival of the fittest, people who has been to the depths of despair due to a mental condition, and with the help of medication, people who care, (those who think their life is worth saving) have gone on to live productive lives, are tough as nails. Now, of course everyone cannot be saved but the point is we continue try

Oh well, he may have something wrong with him, but he is choosing to end his own life, more food/water/air for us. Death is a common part of life we all must accept, and if you keep doing the stupid stuff over and over again that can get you killed (drinking heavily and driving for example). Then I feel NO pity for you, just for your family because your to f***ing selfish to think of others when you make decisions that affect everyone around you.

So in closing, he's a dumbass, his family needs prayer and if my opinion offends you, plz go play in traffic :smt023

Not trying to be mean but please think about what you said. "It has nothing to do with the money"

That means you would do your job for free is it not? The truth is, there is something truthful in the fact that without that job, you make no money. Therefore, you do have interest in money because it is what makes the world go around. Being a caring and compassionate person is just part of the job.

Note to self:

Shrinks AND Devout Christians can't take jokes.

shrinks need that sort of self affirmation to believe their jobs are one of the most important in the world

theres a whole section of the economy devoted to the idea that drugs and shrinks can actually help someone change themselves

if word ever got out that the only thing that can truly help a person in the mental department is themselves, then a whole industry would be bankrupt

most psychobabble type people will readily admit that they cant help anyone who doesnt want to help themselves...

once they decide they want to change...they set out and do it

Ah, maybe in the beginning, but we all know 9 times out of 10 that passes and the desire and drive to help others fizzles out.

I think the desire to help never fizzles in most people, maybe the way in which you help just changes. For instance, a person might work at, say, the Red Cross for 15 years but wants to change careers and become an artist. Ok, this person pursues this dream and becomes well known for their paintings. This person then donates several paintings to be auctioned off to benefit, let's say, the local womens shelter. You see, the person still helps, just in a diffrent way. You know Mississippi is the most charitable state in the US?

dyates

11-16-2007, 10:31 AM

Yeah, I know....maybe the times I have worked with people in the profession of "helping others" and seeing the lack of concern and care to help is why I have that opinion. I ran across alot of uncaring people, people who were there just for a 9 to 5 paycheck and they continuously bitched about having to do their job. Everytime I heard people doing that I would think to myself "get another job then jackass". I know there are many people in this world that truely mean well and want to help others but I also know there are alot that started with that attitude but eventually ended up hating the job, not caring, etc. At some point the stress of their job caused them to care less and less...people become immune.

jkspatty

11-16-2007, 10:51 AM

See this is one of those "glass half empty, or half full situations", meaning for every uncaring, pissy, lazy worker, there are several who are just the opposite. An example, I recently met a counselor who works at the local mental health center. She has been in the profession for 30+ years (she is 70ish). She was one of the most caring, professional, open, honest, patient person I've ever met in my life. (this is based on several interactions with her). She is just a very positive person.
Sure job stress affects everyone, the trick is having the ability to either cope with that stress or do yourself and everyone around you a favor and find another job. Like the old saying goes "Do what you love". I agree though there are A LOT of rude people in this world, but also a lot of awesome people. Surround yourself with the awesome ones:smt001

I believe people that commit suicide are incredibly selfish. There is no good reason to kill yourself, if your life is that bad, do something to fix it. Do these people even care what they are doing to the people that love them, or is it only about themselves and their "horrible" lives?

Abaddon

No. I think you need to read more into your qoutes around the word..What you want to say is murder...therein' lies the fine line of what a woman can do with her own body..somethin' I am still learnin' about. to me it ain't suicide..I am strugglin' with what to call it...:confused:
