Seriously folks. I mean, come on. If you are announcing thoughts of suicide, in any forum be it public of private, you are asking for attention and you are HIGHLY UNLIKELY to be a straight shooter(pun intended). As I do have some experience through my line of work with this topic I'll claim a little expertise ( Read more... )

You are a rational voice in a sea of irrationality. I am enjoying reading your journal - thanks for the opportunity :)

Having compassion for people who are not as fortunate as us in material things is just the same as having compassion for those who cannot rationalize that suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problem. It makes sense to have the same sympathy for the mentally unfortunate as the financially unfortunate.

So, why make fun of them in a public journal? (Not meant sarcastically, but sincerely)

Well Matt, you've picked a real good time to post this one ( ... )

Ok, I am sure I contradict myself in here but I am ranting. I should proofread so I make sure I can't be called out on anything, but I am not going to because these are my thoughts as are.

Matt, I am aware being an ass is your personality and insincerity is just in your nature. But, this is one time were it is not acceptable. I hope someday you learn to have a little more consideration for people's situations and feelings. I also hope someday you realize you do not know everything about everybody. You can have your opinion but in some cases, you need to keep it to yourself or share it with your friends. don't post it on a live journal that anyone has access to. Look deep down and find a little sensitivity. I have faith there is some in there somewhere. Afterall, you are an EMT.

I am done. I've said my peace and stated my opinion. Take it or leave it. I just thought you should know.

Seriously read the post from and consider it. This wasn't about my ability to be compassionate. It was completely about people who use suicide THREATS as attention getters.

So...take it or leave it. It was VERY public for a good reason.
