| This guy, yes.
Went to school with him for years, we weren't best buds or anything, but we knew each other. Hearing of all those ytmnds was not very uplifting, and hardly funny. |

| I've just really always had a difficult time understanding that kind of suicide, and I've really tried. I've been down in the depths of depression myself a few times, as have some friends of mine, a few of whom I've actually talked out of killing themselves. Perhaps it's my overly logical self that prevents me from fully getting it. Because as I've said to some friends, if you keep going on living, things may continue sucking...if you kill yourself, they DEFINITELY won't get better.
It's really sad whenever something like that happens...just difficult for me to understand it. |

| I really can't say I understand it either. There's no greater gift than life, and to waste it like that is both selfish and stupid. You may not be happy, you may not be living the life you want, but will killing yourself change that? No. I can't think of very many people that were truly in situations where not being alive was more beneficial than sticking it out.
Despite that, making fun of the person is still not okay. I mean come on, what if his mom or other family members saw that? It's horrible. Make ytmnds about something funny, not dead people. |

| You have to remember the common definition of funny. That is, of course, "not funny".
People are jerks. You have to remember it... Given the chance, a few TOO many would gladly laugh at others' pain. It's cruel and unfunny, but... I don't know where I'm going with that. You can put me down on the list who don't consider jokes about people who commit suicide to be funny. |

I believe the proper term is "black comedy". Some people find different things funny. I didn't find the myspace emo fad funny on YTMND. Except "Secret Nazi Myspace suicide". Reading that with a German accent is just so damn funny for some reason.  (edited by AK47 asdf on 03-29-06 10:52 PM) |

I never even SAW the Myspace emo fad on YTMND. I rarely visit sites there in the first place. So I'd like to consider myself clean. 
I never got the concept of suicide. I mean... I understand some of the reasoning behind it but I just don't get the whole picture, and doubt I ever will. |

| Well, I think I outlined the reason many of us don't get it in my last post. It's not about reason, rationality, or any of that stuff. It's all about emotions, and them overpowering rational thought. Because that's really what happens in those situations. | |||

| Well it's easy to empathize, I think, with people who think this way. People do a lot of times stress their negative feelings a lot and look at things objectively. At the same time, as Sky said, emotions overpower rational thought. Makes people do things they wouldn't otherwise. It's just sad when it happens, and more recently over the years(in the past 4) I've become more used to hearing about things like these happening. | |||

| Intresting to see that someone on this board have actually met that guy, he became a internet celebrity but in a... morbid way. Kind of reminds me of the Star wars kid in that way, just alot worse.
Meh, I kind of a black humour and don't mind suicide being made fun of as long it's not blatantly referencing to persons or anything. (edited by Ailure on 03-31-06 01:08 AM) |
