Iin, that i consider people who commit suicide to be badasses?

I will admit putting a gun to your face and pulling the trigger takes guts. Ever heard of the poet Sylvia Plath? I'm not going to lie she offed herself in a pretty metal way; she stuck her head an oven until the heat pretty much cooked her face. That sounds pretty brutal.

However, I don't think we should worship these people though. I mean they probably had a lot of bad stuff happen to them in order for them to be pushed to such extremes. Don't worship these people; just do the best you can to help a friend whenever you see him/her in need.

It takes guts, but it's not being a badass. On being in a place so low you couldn't even imagine, and it's not ok for you to downplay their suffering like this.

I think all people who commit suicide are dead, no more; no less.

I know you shouldn't say bad things about dead people (for some reason), but I'd go as far as to call some suicidal people assholes.
Meaning the ones who don't give a shit about what happens to anyone who loved them, or finds them, or runs them over in a train.
But I suppose if you suffer from a depression you can't think straight, so it's hard to judge them.

And of course saing all this makes me an asshole aswell.

People who commit suicide are not "badasses"; they're not "cowards" either. I just pity them a lot, because they hope to find something that death will never be able to give them: peace of mind.

In Ancient Rome suicide was an honourable way to die. I still believe it's a good way to die. I have attempted it, although I was scared of death, suffering sucks too. Sometimes suicide feels like the only way to end suffering. Although I'm looking at other ways to end suffering. Lol

That's because they are. I've never understood people who've considered suicide to be a cowards move. it takes a lot of guts to go through with a plan. It takes a lot of guts to be brave enough to step into the unknown. I could go on and on with this. Clearly, committing suicide in this day and age does not get the amount of respect it deserves. I think this might also have to do with culture. Because it dude uk Japan, it was acceptable for Samurais and others to commit Shibari. It was an hot notable way to die.

Actually you have to kill a whole bunch of other people first for it to be "badass"......

For me it's unfathomable how a person can override their instinct of survival by dying self-willingly. They say bravery and stupidity are often two peas in the same pod, and in my opinion suicide is not contrasted from this philosophical belief. Everyone should have a good sense of morality that is able to tell them suicide is not the answer.

Loved ones will not call someone 'badass' for such a tragedy. They may say, "He/she was a great *insert text here* and they will be missed". Call me strange, but I believe anyone that commits suicide loses all honor. Surely you can attribute the word 'brave' to their name, but then it becomes contradicting because you also have to add 'coward'. Suicide takes guts, but straying away from your problems is the act of a dumbass.

I don't think there's a valid reason as to why anyone should litigate religion and suicide. They're not compatible subjects and they're not relevant to each other in this issue.

I think it's a fun argument. I don't mean any offence, but I don't believe in an afterlife. If I did I may have found it a more interesting argument, as opposed to fun.

I do dislike it, when people see suicide as a coward's way, as if living on is some indisputable achievement. To me living on is not some objectively good thing.
I can also suspect it of being a case of overlooking the fact that people are going to die anyway.

If one's life is very bad with no hope of bettering, then it can be a sensible choice.

Better than call someone a coward for killing themselves is to acknowledge how there was something that made them choose not to live.

I've often wondered about people who go through life devoid of sympathy or empathy. Where, in their fucked up little heads, they think that calling a dead person a coward makes them seem somehow more tough and heroic. Or on the opposite side: think that people who die by their own hand are cool.

Do they really mean it when they say that?

I wouldn't consider someone a Badass but I wouldn't judge them either

I am a christian and I think that the idea if suicide victims being tortured is absurd. Jesus never said that. Why would a loving god inflict pain on someone who had such a bad life they killed themselves?

At times I imagine somber surroundings and hanging myself in my closet. No one would be able to feed my ferrets. They would starve to death while smelling my corpse rot away about 20 feet away.

Many other cultures embrace suicide as a respected part of life. I personally think it takes guts but it is very selfish at the same time if you have family/friends.

I don't consider those who have felt the need to commit suicide to be "weak," but I am saddened that they felt so hopeless that they had to end their life.

:(

It's not fair for everyone involved.
