I am totally pro-suicide, for anyone who wants it.  For those who want a philosophical explanation or justification, see:

Hume on the issue, which covers the ground very well:

Seneca, for those more poetically inclined, who is also quite good:

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_lett.../Letter_77

Right now, my life is good.  But I say, FUCK YOU to every goddamned bastard who wants to try to stop me from killing myself if and when I want to do so.  It is my life, not yours, so FUCK OFF you goddamned bastards who want to control my life.

I think the above expresses my feelings adequately, but if anyone needs more, I will be happy to oblige.

To Razzle:  Yes, I agree, it is leftover bullshit from Christianity that gets asshole motherfuckers to want to try to control your life and not let you decide when you get to die.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
— David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
