Eradicate what? It's a sad story, but not every sad story is news. As one of the commentators said, it's a private tragedy and there's no need to write a book about it.

Why would you suppose that anyone can eradicate suicide?

i just can't believe how little human life matters anymore... i guess it only matters when it's someone close to you. that shouldn't be the case though.
i wonder what would've happened if we were that guy... i guess the rat-race has proven to be too much to stop and see what's happening around us.

What do you mean

?

Was there some time in history where every human life was held equally sacred, or something?

And what does that have to do with some person making the choice to stop living?

I'm amazed that someone can compose a paragraph without actually saying anything of worth. This post was one of the most generic and disingenuous things I've read in a long time - so much so that I'm just assuming randall is trolling.

Yes...eradicate suicide...let's kill them first.

Seems the OP is on something. Human life is worthless, unless it's someone you know. Why didn't you start a thread about all the wars going on? Hunger and death in Africa? Flu and the thousands dead every year.

Yawn...death is boring and not worth the news. Everyone dies...deal with it.

Or phishing? Or bumping up his post count so he can PM?

You really don't understand what phishing means. That's two posts you have used the word to mean something else. (what exactly do you mean by phishing?)

Trying to get people's e-mail addresses or other information for some scam? What do you mean by phishing?

I have no idea, but some posts on this Web site simply don't make sense and it's hard to believe anyone has an unlimited amount of time to waste on nonsense posts. I can't believe the OP posted what he did out of a desire for serious discussion, can you?

Maybe the mods understand what's going on behind the scenes ... Question

it's just amazing how much folks reveal of themselves by the comments they make. pot calling the kettle black i see....

no wonder the Koreans have their doubts about us... people like these were conceived without proper planning and now these guys are walking free amongst us making shallow comments... some people are real good arguments for abortions to be legalized...

let me guess... some wise-cracker will comment on this quoting my text and saying stuff like "he's spending waaay too much time doing whatever" when the actual troll would be, as logic normally suggests, the one who's actually giving meaning to the saying above in bold.
