To be completely frank, I get it. I look around at suffering all the time and think, "What the fuck?" However, I also see very happy things and I realize there is a balance. No one is saying that life is all peaches and cream. Yes, there is suffering. Does it negate the good? Not by a long shot.
Personal story alert. Immediately after I was diagnosed with my particular heart condition, I was given a beta blocker. (I've told this story here before, I think.) It made me all fucked up. I was seriously depressed. However, there were random good days in between the depression. All I could think was that those days were worth it. If I could just grit my teeth and get through it, another day was coming right up. This isn't Pollyanna shit. I really wanted my life. I still do. Loads of people do. You are suggesting that your own depression should dictate whether other people get to live. That's fucked up and stupid. I think you're probably a troll and I.B. is right, I do want to turn you pink so you will stop trying to get everyone to kill themselves or each other, but I really am bored and leaving, so I'll let someone else cut you loose.
You also followed up with your argument for mass slaughter or systematic extinction. Uh, no strawman here, guy. You want people to die.
Would that be the Final Solution?
Bitch.

You then derived a conclusion from false reasoning that I would rather people just off themselves instead of at least trying, what fallacy were you using?
