Ok, let's see, I make a comment about shutting down debate, and someone tells me to shut up….
enough already with telling people to shut up…
If you fail to respect free speech and dissenting opinions in your everyday life, eventually that becomes a societal thing.
Respect for free speech is only tested when someone says…

Well, I've already voiced my thoughts on this issue quite thoroughly on the comments section of a robin Williams article, but I just have to say that in my view, the AV club headline writers are way out of line in using the term "shitty" in a headline, both because it really is vulgar and lowers the general tone, and…

I have no interest at all in this movie review, but I just wanted to declare how annoyed I am at the ads between the articles on the AV club and the start of the comments section. ugh

Um, I don't mind discussing terminology. I hate the term disease for Alcoholism because the 12 steps people are so married to the need to surrender to a higher power- which is clearly an appeal to religion, and to a lot of people you are not allowed to argue with AA. So which is it, a disease or a spiritual flaw? you…

the only problem with your remark is that it is not actually what happened. In my case I had a failed suicide attempt and it literally shocked me out of my depression.
the attempt knocked all of pride out of me, it woke me up to the fact of my responsibility to my friends and family, it woke me up to how they…

I respectfully disagree. I'm in no ways being arrogant. I am just convinced that I am right. And I'm definitely not stupid. It may turn out that I am wrong, but you'll have to convince me of that.

I appreciate that you find me well intentioned, as I am.
It's very hard and close to not being worthwhile to even attempt to have these sorts of discussions on the web, but I was angry enough to start the thread and so I am willing to deal with all comers. The most difficult part of this is keeping about 7 discussions…

I have complete respect for the pain of the family and friends. What I am reacting to is some thoughts about suicide that I disagree with.

I used to think it was permanent in myself as well, then I thought, well, I just have it really rough….but it was more about how I had certain expectations about life that I felt entitled to, and when life didn't come thru, I got upset. Now I take responsibility for my own outlook and I am much much stronger, and…

I'm not pushing a magical cure at all. What I am saying is in fact the opposite. My view is that you can control your thoughts, and should try. One thing you need to do is assess your worldview and make adjustments. IMHO of course.

omg, I'm 49 years old. If I'm not an adult by now…
You can absolutely project. Many of our thoughts are universal. That is what art is about, people finding themselves in the thoughts of others.
I'm sharing some very serious thoughts. If you disagree, tell me why.

Beyond your sarcastic tone, there seems to be a real problem. First off, you can stop taking my comments as a personal attack on you. I'm trying to be helpful, not put you down. Nonetheless, I do sort of have to put you down, cos its all related. The first thing you can do is take some responsibility for your own…

I can only talk from my own experience. I was depressed for about 35 years, certainly all through my teens. Come to think of it, I am probably still depressed. It's not a problem now though because my situation has been stable/excellent for 15 years, and my attitude has changed. To put it simply, my attitude is that…

You know, empathy is over-rated. Having been there myself, I entirely understand the feelings of constant sorrow and wanting to die. In the catholic church suicide is seen as a mortal sin, perhaps one of the worst. I'm not practicing myself, but I think it is a worthwhile subject to put such a strong taboo on. One…

I'm really starting to hate the pathetic use of the word "disease: in regard to depression. It's a cop out. I've been suicidally depressed in my life, but it wasn't for nothing, and it wasn't cured by a pill or talking to a shrink. It was cured by the fact that both my life situation got better and I had a radical…

Is this really a problem? I've never met a woman who was into comics and I'm sure most guys could care less….
Oh, and what adult actually cares about superheros in the first place? grow up…
If they were making a "Maus" movie I'd be interested, rather than all this nonsense. And now everyone is so "worried"! about…

ya, it says fat boy wait for tomorrow- he is not inviting some fat kid to hang out, he is the fat boy who is being rejected, and as for the water , presumably its some kind of metaphor- the whole thing plays into the general grunge idea of outcast kids being rejected and what not….expressing the angst of teen…

best comment section ever hilarious

and this is hardly a frivolous lawsuit after all, someone died for god's sakes, and it the driver was on the road for that long, it would violate any driving standards around. This is certainly a case where they should go for the max.

Another way of saying it is that video games are just huge time wasters….
