Awesome response. Care to answer my question?

When someone says "There's no such thing as a dumb question," that doesn't mean "All questions are equally good."

But, yeah, **** that person. You're asking a stupid *** question.

So someone who kills someone else due to mental illness is a vile human being that deserves a prison sentence, but someone who kills themselves due to mental illness is deserving of our sympathies and empathy.

You can't look at a rapist and say that he couldn't help it, his brain chemicals were jacked up and try as he may have, he finally succumbed to his temptations. So why are we fine to say that suicide victims couldn't help it, and that the chemical imbalance was to blame?

I know, I know, I haven't brought up Nazi Germany yet, but keep avoiding the question and I'm sure it will pop up.

From now on, I'll just refer to you as a troll in Personal Messages. That way you'll be able to reek havoc out here without my interjection.

It must suck to know that I have you trumped in virtually all aspects of awesome. You may leave this thread now, *** cheeks.

There's not much on Earth that we can call our own. When I think about what's mine, truly mine, I cross almost everything off the list. I can't cross my life off, though, because if that's not mine, then nothing is.

If we don't own our own existence we own nothing.

The guy killed himself and ruined the lives of those that loved him, yet everyone is giving him a break due to mental illness that he has no control over. Tell me then; is the same consideration given to the mentally sick man who gets his rocks off by molesting kids? It's easy to say that the molester should just ignore his impulses, right?

Double standard?

Not picking sides here, because I see both sides and respect people from both sides of the argument. I'm only putting in my two cents.

The person who molests children initiates force against them. That person denies that child ownership over their own body/self. The standard, in my mind, is very clear.

Philosophically, this would be a lot more problematic. What defines our control over anything, including our existences? What if we are the bits of a very larger scale intellectual being with much less conscience of existence and actually living a very short amount of time?

Two totally different crimes, I'm not debating that. I'm debating the remorse we feel for one mentally ill person verses the vitriol that is spewed at another.
