I think you people give too much undue sympathy.
 
Some of you dickheads need to grow up a little.
 
I am enjoying this song immensely. It's making this just that much funnier. I'm almost speechless trying to think of what's making this so funny...whether it's the fact that a useless emo kid killed himself--apparently without any real problems (over a girl, at SEVENTEEN?!)--, the attention he was trying to get prior, that he went on the internet to post before doing it, or that all these people are showing sympathy for him and giving him e-eulogies and shit. And listening to this song...it's great, it's all great.

And before any bleeding hearts say I'm an ass or something...check the sig. I'm not terribly sure why some people are getting up in arms at some of the things other posters have said either...it's not like anyone here knew him or cared about him in the least before this. Indiscriminate care for an unknown inter-emo just because he killed himself? Also laughable. None of you really care, and he will be forgotten in a week.
 
ARGHHH, i've become too sensetive, reading the messages gave me a feeling of sadness.
Damn it, i need to toughen my self up again.
 
This whole thing is beyond ridiculous, he posted his suicide not online, in plain view of all his friends, hoping to garner the attention he has. I can't feel anything for this kid at all, especially because he killed himself. Suicide has to be the most selfish, incomprehensible act a human can commit. If I had a friend who committed suicide I would mourn their loss, but I would not approve of their method of departure. It saddles everyone else with the grief and you get to cop out of it. It's pathetic, really. You can get over anything in life. Everyone has the ability to move on. Now, if he had a serious mental disability and couldn;t see that suicide truly meant death then I might understand a bit more, but this was some kid who had a pretty good life, from what it sounds like. He had no good reason to kill himself. This was some sick, last ditch ploy for sympathy.

I find it disturbing that he didn;t really care about his friends. Clearly he was not thinking about them when he did this, other than wanting their sympathy, which is so selfish it's sickening. If he truly cared about any of these people who are expressing sympathy for him then he wouldn;t have killed himself. And they all fell right in line with what he wanted.

Yesh. *does mental pressups* destroy all emotion!
 
Hilarious. :|

This is stupid, sad, pathetic, angrifying and pretty tragic all at once. But I don't think it's the least bit funny, really. :/
 
im really suprised over some of these reactions. you're glad he did this because you're assuming he was a typical myspace user? you didn't know him or know what he was like. his existence was unknown to you before this and it didn't affect your life in any negative way. how could you be enjoying his death?
 
Indeed. Spare me the politically correct sympathy.
 
I dont see why anyone cares.
The loss of a weak willed teenager is no loss to me


If that sounds horrible, it is, but it's the truth
 
Why the hell are you all talking about the KID! This is not about one man, My Space is taking over the world like on Terminator 3! Oh well, no one gives a crap anyway.
 
Natural Selection at it's best.
GJ Myspace...the only thing you're good for. Getting rid of everybodyl.

well if someone on hl2.net commited suicide there would be a 400 page thread too, and anyone who said 'i dont care' in it would probably be banned
 
This is a forum, not a dictarorship. No one would be banned for not caring. Ridiculing the relatives and using it to inspire inter-forum hatred maybe, but not for simply stating they dont care
 
If you think what he did was stupid at least feel for the people he left behind, I won't deny that it was selfish, becuase all suicide is. The fact remains, that whoever he is, there are people who were close to him and will be devastated by it - they are the people who deserve caring and sympathy.

Seriously, you guys are assholes, and that's why this place has had so many people migrate away.

I agree.
 
Anyone who kills themselves over trivial matters such as this is, or rather was, a waste of time. Obviously the relatives deserve sympathy, but the kid sure as hell doesn't
 
If you think like that, I don't think you've ever had anyone die on you.

Both sets of Grandparents, and one of my aunts

Why would I care about a person like this? What it the point of throwing away your only shot at life down to a ****ing teenage relationship?
 
I can't believe some of you actually want this to be treated with sensitivity.

Attention whore kills himself. Big ****ing whoop-dee-doo. He's not only an idiot, but he's inflicted grief and pain to those who knew and loved him.

Oh yeah, what a sympathetic case.
 
There are people far more worthy of your sympathy dying every day.

My thoughts exactly

As a 17 year old, he should have a good amount of sense and sensibility. There's nothing to indicate anything abnormal here. He seemed to require attention and decided to off himself over some issue with a female (which is probably the most pathetic reason for suicide ever).

This is all drama. While I do feel some pity for him, that's in a very small dose.

QFE

I can understand that others fell pity for the guy, but really, that's exactly what he wanted: attention and pity from strangers - and notoriety in death. Why else would he broadcast this online?

It's the world's most excessive form of emotional manipulation, and I refuse to be sucked into it.
Pitying the guy is support for this suicide, and that is not a healthy message to broadcast to the angsty teens of the world.
 
i think some of our comments are being misunderstood. many of us are not pouring our sympathy onto this kid alone, we feel for his family and friends who have been hurt by his death. our comments are concerning the negative statements made toward this individual who you dont really know and have absolutely no way of judging fairly.

A person who kills himself is one of the worst sort, in my opinion. Worse than a crack-addicted ex-con living in a subway. At least he has a margin of respect for his life.
 
Well we know he killed himself for a shitty reason and subsequently hurt all his friend and family with grief.
He didn't even have the decency to spellcheck the suicide note he left them.
It's just a plainly assholish thing to do to the people who had put time and effort into supporting him and caring for him.

Obviously it must be awful for those who were hurt by his stupid decision. But that's all the more reason not to cry for the asshole.

Yes.

But as CM said, I do feel indeed sad for the people he left behind :(

Suicide, chlorine for the gene pool.
Tis the truth this man doth speaketh.

Anybody stupid enough to kill themselves doesn't deserve our sympathy. I feel sorry for his family and his friends, but not for him.

Oh yeah, I've got a new sig.
 
I feel sorry for those who truly cared for him, but I feel very little for him. Suicide is one of the most selfish things you can do. Especially in this case.
 
I've had three in my family, so i'm well equiped to understand the repercusions for the grieving family. it never goes away. disbelief, then anger, and then just profound sadness. I will never understand why they did what they did. and for this kid, i feel profound pity on him and his family. depression is so under-diagnosed. i understand the posters' comments about him being an attention-whore, but his posting on the 'net was his way of crying out for help. it was just a medium that happened to reach many more people. i don't necessarily fault him for that. he needed professional help, but took his life before getting it.
 
Well, I didn't know the guy so...meh.

And you people need to stop drinking haterade. Grow the **** up :|.
 
I feel nothing but pity for this guy. People who kill themselves don't want to die, they're just looking for a way out... it's disgusting to laugh at things like this.

Actually, they do want to die. Suicide is not obligatory.
