Yeah, those Pentecostal men, always picking up the easy chicks....

What's the point of criminalizing charging for something it's legal for you to give away?

He said should not.

Do you believe it's okay to dictate someone else's choices based on what you think they should do? You think people who are unhappy should make the best of their life, and I mostly agree with you. So what? Maybe they don't think so. Maybe they don't care what you or I think. Maybe they should be permitted to make their own choices regardless of our opinions, especially if the choice will not potentially harm anyone else.

Like I said, I can agree that everybody makes conscious rational decisions regarding their lives, I just don't have to agree with every one of them, I can think that reason is not enough to not want to live, it is my personal ethic.

I am happy for the guy you talked about. Here's the thing though. What you think only matters when it's your life. What I think only matters when it's my life. I don't think severe depression is a good reason to kill myself. So even though I suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD I hold on to things that matter to me and I take medicine and I just started seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist and an abuse counselor. I want to be the best mom for my kids as I can. But I have absolutely no right to look at a woman who has been through the same things as I have and tell her, you cannot make your own choices, you must do what I believe is right or what I say you should do.

Well that's good

I was only accidental by one year, I guess I was supposed to be one year younger. I never said we should impose our methods, but think about it, if you can do it, why can't others (in the same situation)? Of course everybody is genetically and socially different, everyone reacts differently to what happens, but if we gave people support we could minimize losing such a great value as a human life. I am just saying, I'm not against people making decisions, but we should support people to avoid losing members of society that could be productive. The case of depression, we should help people deal better with it. I don't mind my taxes funding this. I'm not against people deciding their lives, I'm just against we not helping these people, I want to make these people better if possible, that's just my thought, you can call me a humanist but I'll stand by my values.

Depression sucks. Social anxiety? I still cope with it, but I've made progress.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
