Got this e-mail this morning.

[Billy the Fish]

What a stupid comment. I must only presume you've never had someone commit suicide that's close to you.

Correct. As someone else said, the avatar is tounge in cheek as was my comment. I've never been affected by the issue and hope I never have to. If you have then I apologise if i've offended you. There is an option to switch avatars off

Well I must be sick because I thought his avitar was quite amusing.

I haven't personally but have known people who have. I wasn't offended by your post.
I know I have an option to turn them off but most of them I enjoy seeing.

 

[CHAPPERS]

His avatar is killing me.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Its not really that bad is it...

 

[tedebear]

I found the avatar quite amusing as clearly it is supposed to be toungue in cheek and not serious.

You find promoting child suicide amusing??

 

[Grendel]

If you really get that offended by an irreverent picture in someone's avatar, you ought to get out a bit more.

I can understand you not liking it, but do you really think it promotes child suicide?

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Were you one of the people that were offended by Brass Eye's Paedophilia episode?

It was more directed at BTID who obviously has some issues here. I'm tempted to argue the toss about people getting all precious when they see things they don't like, but it's only the internet so I don't think I'll bother.

Do you laugh at the Darwin Awards?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Thanks.

This thread has got the following now stuck in my head;

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...


[REFRAIN]

That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.


I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's to late, and...

REFRAIN


The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
the losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say


REFRAIN


The only way to win is cheat
and lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat


REFRAIN


The sword of time will pierce our skins
it doesn't hurt when it begins
but as it works its way on in
the pain grows stronger...watch it grin but...


REFRAIN


A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'


'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please


...and you can do the same thing if you please.

 

[Blackadder]

Those aren't pillows.

That is a classic film line MB

 

[tedebear]

I can understand you not liking it, but do you really think it promotes child suicide?

It instructs on how to kill yourself - specifically aimed at children - what does that mean??

Sorry but I'm at a loss here to understand why people find that amusing.... chat site, avatar or whatever...

and I find the Darwin awards simply a list of stupid adults - not promoting suicide - so I hardly see how that is related....

 

[Lokki 7]

So does a bottle of weed killer.

Keep out of reach of children.
Contents harmful. Do not swallow.

great analogy...

Some of you are complete prats, aren't you. You haven't got a clue about how to be a decent part of a community like this, have you? Do you really not have any clue about the amount of pain you are causing those of us who have struggled with suicide? It is no joking matter, I assure you. Jeez, who needs Palarse fans when there are dickheads like you. And Looney if you did it just to see how many people you could wind up, you are the most immature dickhead of them all.

 

[Albion Dan]

I thought the avatar was amusing too, and blatantly tongue in cheek.

Think people need to chill out a bit.

 

[Lokki 7]

All I'm saying is that it doesn't promote, it is just in very poor taste. It's a shit joke and should just be ignored.
