You hung out with me for 4 days and liked me. I make one post that is controversial and all of a sudden I've "got some hate inside."

Somebody with no hate inside would never post such a thing.

For the record, Howard...I like you as well but that doesn't change the facts or my opinions about suicide or the failing "support systems."

I've been down some dark roads in my past as I'm sure most others have. I've lost friends who killed themselves just like your son has.

I currently have a very close friend in who is suffering from severe depression and a host of other issues. It would not surprise me at all if they killed them self last night. I do what I can for them to show that somebody cares but at the end of the day, it's 100% up to them. As Fletch suggested, they are also medicated which is something I have always been against. Either you can cut it or you can't and filling your body with chemicals so you can deal with life just doesn't seem logical to me. It's not hatred, it's harsh reality. It would hit me very hard if this person killed them self but life for me would go on. Only the strong survive and suicide is another way of thinning the weak from the herds.

Meanwhile, I will stand by them through thick and thin just like I have stood by Amputate Your Head while the rest of this board has shit on him because of his issues. Hopefully I will never lose either one of these people as they both mean a lot to me.
