Discussion The only difference between this and a pro life place

I never said anything about you.
You did.


You identified yourself as one of those people and defended yourself. Ain't that weird.
No one else did that.

100 years ago nobody believed suicide was a sign of mental illness. Instead, they believed it was a sin against God and called it murder since your 'life' belonged to that supernatural supposedly existing deity. That's Europe and the USA anyway.

It's always something. You can't enslave dead people or squeeze money out of them.

It could just be the nature of the forum. It's pro-choice. But the people it's going to attract are those who are suicidal and want to do it. There are many, MANY websites which are pro-life and aim to help people in this situation. But this is the one website where you can openly talk about being suicidal and talk about methods. It only makes sense that this forum will attract people who want to die. Why would someone who wants to be told their life is worth living or want help go on here instead of all of the other pro-life suicide forums?

It's kind of like if there was a forum for those wanting abortions. You will mainly get pro choice people. There may be a few pro life people trying to talk everyone out of it, but those people will mostly likely receive backlash and get banned. The posters might end up deciding to keep the kid or put their kid up for adoption. But most likely, the people will go on there asking for things like excuses to miss work (so the work doesn't know they're getting an abortion), how to hide it from their parents if they're underage or are on their nsurance, how to protect themselves against protestors, what to expect, etc. Or maybe even how to choose an abortion clinic or how to get it if their state has very strict laws. That doesn't mean the people are against others putting their children up for adoption or keeping their kids resulted from accidental pregnancies. It just means a forum for people who want abortions is going to attract people who want abortions, even if it's a pro choice forum. It would be counter-productive of them to go on a pro-life forum. Same goes for here, but expect it's just for suicide, and it's one of the few places that allows this kind of open discussions.

What @Trashcan said. We're a self-selected group. The average member is very different from the average "person in the street". I'm not saying we're morally better or anything, but we're able to understand each other in way regular people just can't.

It seems @Mr2005 wants to set himself up as a contrarian hero. Sorry, but I have no need of those. But carry on, if it makes you feel good about yourself.

 

[Mr2005]

It doesn't.

 

[Schopenhauer]

It doesn't.

That's too bad. In that case, feel free to wallow in self-pity like the rest of us :)

 

[Mr2005]

I will thanks

Whilst most here would say it's pro-choice, that doesn't seem to be the reality. It's very skewed towards pro-death, which is fine, I just wish people would at least admit it.

It's a suicide forum, not a general discussion forum. Most people post about wanting to CTB so it's only natural that most comments will seem pro-suicide.

Have you ever seen someone posting about how he want to live or try to live answered by "suicide is better for you" ?

It's a mistake to think pro-choice means a neutral stance. Pro-choice means respecting the sentiment and decision of the other person and not trying to sway him one way or the other.

Oof.
