Michele 1 #7 February 21, 2003 I won't read the logs. I clicked into it, and thought, well, maybe, but then decided I don't need to "gawk" at his death, nor attribute blame to those others who were in the chat room at the time. That's something they have to live with. I choose instead to light a candle for him, and wish him godspeed.

bobsled92 0 #8 February 21, 2003 I shows that real people with real emotions are on the other end of these forms of communications. The mistake people slip into is that "Nothing will come of it" after a negative statment is made on-line. This young man hurt himself, others are capable of tracking, hunting, and harming others that abuse people on "the Net". Reality is far more scary than some people's imaginations. p.s.

KawiZX900 0 #11 February 21, 2003 i wasnt going to post this but what the hell. he could have at least done somthing cool on his way to hell, like jumping off a tall building - a rig but with a video camera. I agree, that must have been some boring video. and those clowns hung around to watch it. hope he kept a couple of coins for the ferryman of the river Styx. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

bobsled92 0 #12 February 21, 2003 Well, "No one gets out of LIFE alive". When people ask me why I: ran Superbike,Bobsled,Skeleton,Karate,Scuba and quit all that and stuck with Skydiving I tell them death. We should not be afraid of dying but, fear Never really Living (and skydiving is safer). Grasping at straws and being depressed is a downward spiral. Everyone needs something they can call their own. Lucky for me to have returned to jumping._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #13 February 21, 2003 I've said this before and I'll say it again. Death is part of life.

chaz 0 #16 February 21, 2003 I read the transcript...I never got the feeling he wanted to kill himself?? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like he wanted to see how f*cked up he could get by pushing the limits of what he had done before and what he was comfortable with. Maybe I didn't really get what he was saying....what was up with that *ripper is a gangster* dude??? Very weird. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #18 February 21, 2003 If someone chooses to die, it's his business. Maybe it's a fucked up way to think, but i beleive that it actually takes a bit of strength to admit to yourself you want to die. Life is hard, some people can't handle it. Let them be dead so they don't have to deal with their pain anymore. I had a friend that committed suicide about 8 years ago. I miss her, but she made her choice and i gotta respect that. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

TequilaGirl 0 #22 February 21, 2003 Shouldn't the real issue regarding this incident be that this 21 year old kid was addicted to prescription meds.....and that he was getting them legally through licensed doctors???? Very sad......but instead our society is going to focus on the fact several of his internet buddies witnessed his dealth over the internet - so once again the real issues get buried in the media......

wildblue 7 #23 February 21, 2003 Quote I had a friend that committed suicide about 8 years ago. I miss her, but she made her choice and i gotta respect that. Sorry for your loss and all, but this is the most twisted, insane view on life I think I've ever read on this site (excluding jraf and CrazyTomas' posts) It doesn't take any strength at all to admit you want to die. You're just quitting. How hard is it to quit? It's not, you just stop. Doesn't take strength or resolve or any of that. I had a friend kill himself in high school - I called him a selfish, weak bastard. I hardly remember any good times I had with him anymore, because they're all tainted. Not only do you leave your friends and family just because you give up, but any amount of good you might have done with your life will never happen (did you ever see It's a Wonderful Life? ) and you also basically nullify any good memories your friends/family may have had of you. And that's a pretty shitty thing to do to. Waste their time and make them live with that suffering.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #24 February 21, 2003 I refuse to even click on the clickey. Im guessing here but now were gonna have a rash of onlie suicides for people copying this one. What ever the motives, it was definitely sensational. I am sad that a life was lost, but hey, Darwin was right... only the strong survive. May he find peace in his next encarnation.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #25 February 21, 2003 So because it ruins your memories of him, he's selfish? Maybe his life sucks and he can't take it anymore. Instead of being concerned with his own well being, he should think about you and how it will affect you? Yeah right. I am a BIG supporter of suicide. People shouldn't have to live if they don't want to. Accept the fact that people won't always agree with you. If you were a true freind, you would support a freind even if they made a decision you disagreed with. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!
