"C J Campbell" wrote in message ...
"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message om... If he was really dying of this cancer it seems pretty selfish for "countless" others to want him to live in his misery for their benefit. In the U.S. we have a seriously distorted cultural adversness to suicide. Too much catholicism. I applaud the guy. He took control of his destiny and did what he wanted to do. Yeah, that 3 year old who was traumatized by having two halves of a dead body fall into his yard should get a life. I mean, why should anybody complain about having guts and blood all over their patio? The man was heroic for what he did. I didn't read anything about a 3 year old. Please post the link that describes this. No one once said the guy was heroic. Please quote something that said the guy was a "hero". Superman is a hero, I said I applaud this guy. Let's avoid the hyperbole. The guy saved himself from months or years of being blind, in terrible pain all the time, puking up his guts everyday, knowing he was just waiting to die. Maybe he could have picked a better spot, but he sure could have picked a worse one too. |

I mean, why should anybody complain about having guts and blood all over their patio? The man was heroic for what he did. I didn't read anything about a 3 year old. OK, he was eight. What age do you think is appropriate for watching people do the bug on a windshield trick? Please post the link that describes this. No one once said the guy was heroic. I said he was heroic. I was being sarcastic. OK, you were not applauding him because he is a hero, perhaps not even admirable. Maybe you were applauding him simply because you were entertained? Please quote something that said the guy was a "hero". Superman is a hero, I said I applaud this guy. Let's avoid the hyperbole. The guy saved himself from months or years of being blind, in terrible pain all the time, puking up his guts everyday, knowing he was just waiting to die. Maybe he could have picked a better spot, but he sure could have picked a worse one too. Yes, let's avoid the hyperbole. Please post the link that he was going to be in terrible pain all the time, puking up his guts every day, waiting to die. Not all tumors are fatal, you know. This one was going to make him blind. Are you suggesting that people who find out they are going to go blind should kill themselves? Would you applaud going out and killing blind people? What is wrong with counseling, pain medication, and just trying to help people cope with their problems instead of applauding them for killing themselves? This guy endangered the pilot by getting into a struggle in the airplane. He endangered and horrified people on the ground. This is fairly typical of suicides, BTW. They never think for a minute about the cost and inconvenience of cleaning up after them, nor are they generally concerned about how their actions might endanger others, traumatize witnesses, waste emergency resources, etc. They are focused solely upon themselves. Suicide is indeed the ultimate expression of selfishness. Weren't you the guy who was so supportive of that elderly couple who just flew off into the sunset one day? I wonder how much time and money was spent on search and rescue looking for them. How many people risked their lives to determine what happened to them? What other emergency needs were not being met because these thoughtless bozos never considered that their actions might be tying up critical resources? I wonder how much is spent on therapy for loved ones and unwilling witnesses to suicides. I wonder how many horrible diseases are spread by people who were exposed to blood and other bodily fluids from would-be suicides. I wonder how many people are killed or injured by attempts to rescue or aid those making half-hearted suicide attempts. I had a good friend who worked for Involuntary Treatment. He was thrown down three flights of stairs by a couple of teenagers that had made a suicide pact. He was badly injured. It is nothing at all like the romanticized Romeos and Juliets in plays and movies. You want to know what suicide is all about? Try a Google search on Kurt Cobain's suicide picture. Then, when you have seen it, tell me how you think this behavior should be applauded. |

I guess its possible that the guy has some non-terminal tumor that would just cause him to be blind, but I believe that is very doubtful. There is no need to prove he will live out the rest puking and in pain. Have you ever known anyone who enjoyed Chemo? -Robert |
