Re: The texting suicide thingy
I am pretty tired of the boy's family. His death is a tragedy. If they are gonna start throwing around blame on anyone but the boy who took his own life, they better be looking at the mirror as well.
Heard her talking about how he had accomplished more at his age than many do in a lifetime...Really? That is pretty fucking obnoxious.

Do you believe in free will? Could anyone persuade you to kill yourself if you did not already have that desire?

i do believe in free will. i also believe that people with a desire or tendency will not necessarily act on that tendency on their own accord.Foo wrote:Do you believe in free will?

Re: The texting suicide thingy
I love this new found era of zero personal responsibility! I can fuck shit up six ways from sideways, now I just gotta decide if it was God or my dog that told me to.

I know a person could not persuade me to.
If you tried to kill the person before ever meeting me but were not successful, then you went out and acquired the murder weapon and killed the person after meeting me a couple times and talking over the Internet. Is there any way that is my fault?

Re: The texting suicide thingy
What are we arguing here, that manslaughter was the wrong charge or the girl had the constitutional right to encourage him to kill himself? The boy has the majority of the blame thats why she will only be locked up for 15 months.
Re: The texting suicide thingy
If Jim Jones and Marshall Applewhite had not drank poison after they convinced others to do so whould they be free to go on with their lives becuase they had not actually killed anyone?

She is an evil bitch. Just not sure she doesn't have that right and it was definitely not manslaughter.

this is the best post in this whole thread. if you see fault in someone who actively sets out to push a person to kill himself, you're a fucking snowflake.Foo wrote:Snowflake EraReign in Blood wrote:I love this new found era of zero personal responsibility!

Re: The texting suicide thingy
It depends. Did the followers know it was poison and death was the result?Tiggnutz wrote:If Jim Jones and Marshall Applewhite had not drank poison after they convinced others to do so whould they be free to go on with their lives becuase they had not actually killed anyone?
I think we have certain foundations of free speech and it is always said the worst speech is what needs protecting.
I am not saying it is moral. I am saying it is probably legal.

The snowflake part is where others are blamed rather than the individual committing the act.zombie wrote:this is the best post in this whole thread. if you see fault in someone who actively sets out to push a person to kill himself, you're a fucking snowflake.Foo wrote:Snowflake EraReign in Blood wrote:I love this new found era of zero personal responsibility!

When someone engages in an act, any act, and they are fully aware of the consequences they are responsible.
Re: The texting suicide thingy
they're responsible, but are you not at all responsible too, if you push them to it? he was depressed and potentially suicidal clearly. she knew that and she set out to push him into killing himself, because she wanted attention.Foo wrote:The snowflake part is where others are blamed rather than the individual committing the act.zombie wrote:this is the best post in this whole thread. if you see fault in someone who actively sets out to push a person to kill himself, you're a fucking snowflake.Foo wrote:Snowflake EraReign in Blood wrote:I love this new found era of zero personal responsibility!
