Okay clearly this has gone on long enough.

The reason I contributed to the thread was to challenge your assertion that only mentally ill people want to die.

This is palpably false, and insulting to the many people that have made that choice, with I might add, a great deal of courage.

Since you have not addressed this question directly, nor proffered an explanation to your assertion, then I will await until you do.
The assertion that staying alive is ration does not imply that wanting to die is an example of mental illness.

Until then I'll stop posting.
Hobbes is right in this, it's not just mentally ill people who wanna die, it's on par with medival peasent logic.

Horrible disfigured/ugly people who can never get love, who gets bullied, etc, may want to die.
Yes indeed, and I applaud their courage; each one who for whatever reason has managed to overcome the primal urge to survive and make a rational choice about wanting to end their life.
