Do you still tell people to commit suicide?
I remember a post of yours years ago where you
got some grief for telling some people that they should *off* themselves.

[Spicerack]

It's such a waste when teenagers 'do it for love'.
When you're older you just know that if they hung on they'd wonder what they ever saw in him/her. (within weeks probably)

They were the ones we hated losing in ITU, the young ones who took an overdose of paracetamol because they had a row with their boyfriend not realising how little can be a fatal dose, some had liver transplants, some survived with supportive care. Far too many died

//Anybody would have got a dreadful reaction. People only defend it because of who said it.//

I do wonder, if I (as an ex-con) had said that I was a member of an internet group that encouraged suicidal people to follow through and commit suicide,
would even be allowed a voice on AB ever again.

//I detest all soldiers, regarding them as total scum.

I despise the Samaritans as they work for the opposite of what the online groups I work with are striving for, which is a MASSIVE increase (perhaps 10,000 fold) in the suicide rate.//

Whereas instead you just post this question ...

Yes. And???

And instead of encouraging suicidal people to follow through and commit suicide, you encourage people [Chris] to encourage suicidal people to follow through and commit suicide ...

Sorry Ellipsis,
You've totally lost me.

WARNING: A rather macabre tale NOT for the squeamish or overly sensitive folk:

On the topic of your views Chris, and recalling your wishes for the disposal of your body after your demise (dumped in the wheelie bin or something similar if I remember correctly) , and bearing in mind your cat empire, this article caught my eye.

P.S. Is that where the name catacombs comes from ?

[Deskdiary]

As somebody who knows there’s no such thing as an afterlife, upon my death my family could feed me to pigs for all I care.

I'm a firm believer in assisted suicide. We should be given the right to end our lives if we wish. I certainly have plans to go if life gets more painful and that ould probsbly mean dignitas. I have let my loved ones know. They would cope because they would respect my wishes. No funeral either. I would like to think my ending could be like that I give to my animals, to end suffering. Hopefully our laws will change.



I have no plans to go just yet though!!

Chris, if your son told you he was thinking of committing suicide, would you encourage him?

I agree that if life gets unbearable you should be able to "check out", if that's your wish. But I can't get my head round your way of thinking (that is, if I'm understanding it right).
