The Ethics of Suicide

[BidenPresident]

What ethics? I encourage it. Especially among political extremists, domestic terrorists and pedophiles.

And for you.

 

[BidenPresident]

I enjoy philosophy and philosophical questions, but sometimes philosophers can get themselves twisted into knots by overthinking things. This, to me, seems to be one of them.

What the essay does do, indirectly, is reinforce the case for why it's immoral to end someone else's life, outside of some imaginary being telling us it's immoral.

You rarely have anything interesting to say about philosophy.

 

[BidenPresident]

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd.

And for you.

Eventually. Most suicides are older Euro-American males. A quick death is better than laying in bed for six months with a tube in every orifice.

Thanks for fucking remining me.

I have a dismal end stage scenario myself

To contemplate the amount of pain and agony a person had to go through for the skeletal system to contort in such a way is not a pleasant thought, but that is most likely what I have to look forward do in my advanced years.

Once I can no longer enjoy living, I won't burden myself or others.

If there is no hope, I'm taking the exit ramp.

Good point. Caring for a long term ill parent can be devastating.

That sounds like a challenge

How do you think they feel? Are you considering letting them commit suicide by smothering them with a pillow?

 

[BidenPresident]

I have never seen someone talk about "over thinking" who was not a dope.

I am on your ignore list. you have said so a half a million times

 

[BidenPresident]

hey

Don't you have anything more important to do in your life than to be a troll on a politics forum?

 

[zymurgy]

I am on a debate site pointing out what a lying sack of shit you are

why do you continually lie and say people are getting on your ignore list? do you not care that your name is a joke around here? obviously not, but then why do you post when nobody respects what you say and know you are a liar? seems like a waste of time

 

[BidenPresident]

I

Guess you need to be banned.

 

[zymurgy]

Guess you need to be banned.

You're welcome for exposing you to something new.

 

[BidenPresident]

You are dumb.

Nope. Japan is 60% higher than the global average, with an excess of 18,000 child suicides between 1972 and 2013.

In the US, Sybil. Get a fucking clue and keep up with the conversation. Besides you, who gives a fuck what the suicide rate is in other countries?
