Because the Pope is Emperor Palpatine.

Oh God!  I've been suspecting that since he got appointed.

His hat contains the sacred booze, which can make a man invincible! (Or at east make him believe that he is)

It would seem as though this thread has aged like bread...

Back on topic...

I find it comforting that I can potentially kill myself at any time.  It makes life's annoyances that much more bearable, the fact that I can simply opt out whenever I want to, really.

[Alexhans]

well... then you're more confortable with free will than with the potential of suicide, right? 

btw, this thread should totally kill itself before it becomes boring...

[cowofdoom78963]

This thread cannot self terminate. You have to do it.

Suicide, in a particularly spectacular manner, is one of those things I always wonder about.  Namely, I wonder how people would react if I did something absolutely insane.  Something that would completely catch them off guard, like the aforementioned spectacularly gory suicide.  I'll be riding in the car with my friends, and I'll wonder what they would do if I suddenly just went "Alright, see you guys", and jumped out of the car just as a semi truck went by in the opposite direction.  I also wondered once what people would do if someone suddenly fell up, straight up into the sky.  It keeps me occupied, but people give me funny looks when I giggle for no apparent reason.

It seems this thread went a little off-topic but I think everything was said already in the first pages.

I have been deeply depressed several times myself and had serious suicide thoughts too... You would never understand what such a person feels if you haven't experienced it yourself. But I do not wish such experience to anyone, it even hurts to remind it.

Prior to a recent event in my life that was both extremely distressing and unbelievably saddening, my mind cast its infinite thinking power to the workings of someone who wants to commit suicide. It can be a cry for help when you have no voice left, it can be a life line that saves you in the long run, or it could be the end of it all. Who knows?

My question is, what drives someone to give their life up like this? I have serious problems trying to understand it from their point of view. I try to emphathise but quite frankly I can't. It sucks, cause this person really needs to feel cared for, and i feel as if I can't because I havn't experianced it.  Any advice?

This topic is suppoesed to stay in the utmost seriousness, so please no derailing.

For me, how the world is going to shit. How everything is run by money and no one can share or be nice.

I am a communist also for this reason. But that is of no imporatnace right now.

Its also the fact that the boredom gets me. Soo much boredom. it runs my life. Then the fact that im partially insane. Going blind, have no skills, the sound of nothing, and the ever looming fact that all is bad.

Well you know what they say: "No pain, no gain."

C'mon now, Hippoman, you'll be okay. Persevere! If you're considering suicide, let me just say it won't help. It's the easy way out and, once again, it's a permanent solution to what will always be a temporary problem. Things won't be this way forever. Sure, they might change to something worse, but that won't be that way forever either.

It's all gonna be alright.

I believe that phrase refers to weightlifting, not depression CoD.

[Jackrabbit]

In terms of suicide, the correct saying is "pain, no gain".

Depression is weightlifting of the mind.
