this site is typical right wing bunkum. people come to these sites for quick an relatively painless ways of committing suicide, not to be told "no, don't do it, u have so much to live for!!!!!!!!!!" Believe me, most of us have already thought through the alternatives, been to numerous councellors, tried antidepressants etc. these treatments just don't work for everyone. Just offer practical solutions for those who have made the moral right to choose to end their lives, or shut the hell up and stay off this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!

AskAngel answered Wednesday March 23 2011, 4:36 pm: First off, I'd like to say that noone in their right mind will tell you how to kill yourself. This is for more legal and moral reasons.Seriously,noone is going to sit in prison for the next 20 years because they gave you a fool proof way to kill yourself and you decided to act upon it. That's not "do-gooders" that's CYA. Second, if you ask the general public for advice, then you will get advice according to the columnists beliefs and morals. Basically, when you ask a stupid question, you will get a stupid answer. , Now for this columist stupid answer to your question..I'm sorry that medications and shrinks don't work, but when you get to the bottom of things it all boils down to this.. your own will to live and noone but you can change that. Listen, i understand the arguement of having the right to die, but on the contrary,there is also the right to live, in which case you would be denying that right to the people who are closest to you or even people who you never expected to be effected by it. You can argue that people may be better of without you, but I can tell you first hand it's not true. There will always be people who will care, who will be effected by it and won't get over it. Dous it matter? It should, because these are the people who will always love you even when you don't love them back or when you don't love yourself enough. That should say something. It's kind of scary holding someone else's life and their fate in your own hands, just as they hold your's in theirs. Life is kind of funny like that. Think about the consequences, because that's alot of people's lives your thinking about changing. [ AskAngel's advice column | Ask AskAngel A Question ]
LilyHunt answered Saturday March 19 2011, 10:05 am: I agree with you, poster. I came for the same reason and was impelled to sign up because of the same bollocks. No-one asked them for their opinion and to assume anyone considers suicide lightly is insulting. A simple biological question deserves a simple biological answer.

sarline answered Saturday March 12 2011, 4:37 pm: first of all, people that want to commit suicide come to this website because they want someone to tell them that they care.
second of all you have no right to end your life unless the one that gave you your life takes it away (which is God)
third of all: even the fact that you came here to say this makes me think that you are thinking about it too, well stop thinking about it.
Fourth of all counseling and all those other things truly don't work effectively, what you need to do is have prayer.
fifth of all, have a great life and i hope one day you will be able to let go of whatever past you are holding too
adviceman49 answered Monday March 7 2011, 9:24 am: First: It is illegal for anyone, those of us on this Website included, to give the advise you are seeking.
Second: Many of us have been where you are now. Because of this site or sites like it we have been brought back from the edge of despair. While we answer a variety of questions, it is questions such as yours that we look for to answer in the hope that we can save someone else. It's called giving back.
Third: By writing to a forum such as this you make this our business. If you want us to mind our own business don't write to us for we will try to change your mind as I am about to do.
Counselling is a two way street. You get out of it what you put into it. Also you and your counselor have to mesh. You have to feel comfortable and safe with your counselor. You must know that anything you say to you counselor or any doctor is 100% confidential and cannot be released to any on, parent or spouse without your written permission. That' is the law and it is called HIPPA.
Just remember one thing; you wrote us. In so doing you gave us license to answer you as we feel appropriate.
Questions: Where you compliant with your medications? Meaning, did you take them every day as directed, or did you stop taking them when you felt better. You have to continue to take antidepressants until your doctor tells you it is okay to stop. Did you keep you medicine check appointments? Where you honest with your counselor or did you hide things and try to tell the therapist what they wanted to hear.?
My guess from what you wrote is you are the type of person who is non compliant. You know better than the doctors and therapists. If the therapy and antidepressants didn't work you have no one to blame but yourself.
So if you want to kill yourself it will be up to you as well. No one will tell you how to do it. It will be extremely painful and you will hurt everyone that loves or cares about you.
Xui answered Monday March 7 2011, 2:41 am: If someone was seeking a painless way to end their lives, They wouldn't have the need to ask how would they? People make choices, They make theirs to come here and ask advice and we provide them with our best.
Supporting suicide by giving a "painless" way to die is a crime, You know what else? There is NO painless way to end your life. Despite pain itself, Suicide hurts loved ones and once you take a life you can't get it back. So perhaps you should rethink your situation to tell who should stay off this forum and stop victimizing yourself. ;) [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
DangerNerd answered Sunday March 6 2011, 7:01 pm: Just a fact check for you: Liberals outnumber conservatives on this website by about 1000 to 1. In addition to that, people here value life. Finally, if someone tells you how to end your life, they are committing a crime. [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Sunday March 6 2011, 6:45 pm: I'm a liberal, so I'm not right-wing.
When someone asks us a question, it becomes our business.
Look. I tell people not to kill themselves because I've been there. I found this website years ago because I was looking for a way to kill myself, pain-free. I thought I'd tried everything. 10 years of counselling, 7 years of antidepressants, etc. I was at the end of my rope.
Fortunately, I took the advice I was given and held out a little longer. It's taken a few more tries, but I now have a treatment that works. And yes, because of my diagnosis I'll be on medication forever, and I'll never be perfectly 'normal'. But I have a lot to live for, and every day I thank those people who had the balls to stand up and challenge my decision and tell me that I was being stupid and giving up too soon.
Everyone has a chance at happiness. Everyone has multiple chances. Just because what you've done so far hasn't worked doesn't mean that you should give up, because life isn't chess or baseball. You can't pick it up later once you've quit.
Teza answered Sunday March 6 2011, 5:50 pm: Are you crazy? There must be something wrong with you if you think that people on this web site will give a "solution" to how to commit suicide, you must be out of your damn mind. You need to shut the hell up and take your opinion somewhere else. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
Razhie answered Sunday March 6 2011, 1:41 pm: How is 'don't commit suicide' a right-wing position exactly?
You want individual freedom? Every columnist on this site is free to NOT give you information on a course of action they believe is ill advised. They are free to tell you "Don't do it!" They are free to tell you what they think, and respond to you in accordance with their own conscience and beliefs.
There are millions of places online for someone to get serious advice on how to off themselves. It's not like we have a monopoly on all information on the planet! It is not as though if we don't tell you, no one ever will. It's not like we are forbidding you from accessing that information, or locking you in a padded room.
Why on earth do you think you can demand others assist you in taking your own life when they don't wish to? What the fuck kind of 'freedom' and respect for others is that? You think that people aren't allowed to give you advice you don't agree with? You think if you say A, they can't say B back to you?
You are free to shut up yourself and go find another free, online forum where there are people who will exercise their freedom by telling you how to off yourself. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
rainbowcherrie answered Sunday March 6 2011, 12:03 pm: I'm definitely not right wing. But then again, I'm a young Politics student so I'm not allowed to be.
Right wing or not, no one here is going to tell people how to kill themselves and if they do, they get banned and the answer deleted. We are an advice site, not a suicide how-to. I'm sure there are people on this website who believe it is ethical to help people end their lives but like it or not, suicide is illegal. This website doesn't support law breaking, whether that be underage sex, drug taking or murder and we don't tolerate people who encourage illegal behaviour.
Those who are considering suicide are almost always suffering from a mental illness, including depression. As a result, they are unlikely to be thinking straight and are desperate. It's immoral to take a very vulnerable person and give them tips on how to kill themselves. If someone wants to know how to do it, they can use Google. The fact is, most of the people posting the 'I want to kill myself' questions often just want support, kind words and to be told not to. If they were really, really that desperate to end their lives, they wouldn't bother posting a question on here and waiting for answers.
If you are looking for someone to give you a 'practical solution' on how to end your life then I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. If you'd like some advice on what to do next and where to get help and further support for your depression then there are plenty of people on here who are willing to do so.
