[QUOTE="RustedBeef, post: 2889358, member: 40859"] [QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2889333, member: 6281" I have lost 2 cousins to suicide, both had drug problems as well as the drama that goes with that. I felt sorry for them up until they decided to take the cowards way out instead of standing up like men and addressing their life as they had shaped it.[/QUOTE] Personally I believe suicide is selfish, but I don't think there's much wrong with it being so.
