Oh and yes, in the case of say, an Adolf Hitler, it's a loud way of saying "fuck you" by not giving your opponents the chance to exact retribution.

If your religious, then you could say Holy Shit what an Idiot, He's gonna burn.

If your agnostic or atheist, you probably have a different set of moral directives, and dont believe anyhing will actually happen if you die, then why do you care.

Even claiming all the suffering it will cause, you still believe that if a person suffers it only matters in this lifetime (and maybe one generation more) and no other.

this is a pretty easy answer....it's "weakness".

if you notice the majority of people that commit suicide are the ones that can't handle life's problems.

Total weakness. Especially when its over stupid shit like relationships or money. Its like saying that person or thing has such control over my life i can't live without it. Very weak.

I don't think it's "weakness" .. we all have all had weak moments and broken hearts... and here we are.

I have only personally known one individual that took their own life. This person was so loved, so special & now she's gone.
Based both on studies, and my personal experience, I would say that it is a psychological issue. And it is often times elevated by drug use, but not a personality defect in most cases.

It all depends. I could totally understand somebody serving a life sentence in prison choosing to commit suicide. Freedom for some, is essential to life. Imagine being locked in a human cage indefinitely, never being able to just get up and go where you want. Some would consider that worse than death.

it is sad and often selfish. I actually witnessed the police (standing on the bridge looking down), a helicopter and some boats looking for a guy who just had jumped from a bridge... fucking sad.

Also if somebody is experiencing tremendous physical pain (say, from incurable a disease) and wants to opt out, I say go for it. What's the point in living only to suffer.

Maybe these are extreme cases and not really applicable to the OP's question. But thought I'd throw them out there. It seems there are few absolutes in life.

I don't think suicide is a weakness at all. It's the ultimate act of courage. If you're a relatively mentally-healthy person, try to convince your brain that you want to die, and carry out the act. You simply can't do it. It's rather difficult. So, as I said, it's quite courageous.

On another note, if the departed had any kind of mental illness, then it's no different than any other type of illness/disease that the body can be inflicted with. As such, their brains will react differently to different situations.

Courage is facing your problems, overcoming them, and carrying on to be a better person.

Suicide is for fucking sissies, it's total weakness and failure.

50 weak losers...

With few exceptions, I've always considered it cowardice.

I personally think it is an extremely difficult situation to analyze, however, if someone goes that route they DEFINITELY are weak to blame someone else and make another person suffer! don't want to come across as preaching, but every day above ground is a gift!!!

Well yeah, if you're in for life your already dead but i don't think that is the typical senario for suicide.
