| 14511 | The Comedy Thread | :lol: Nice one, shakin.<br><br>Here's some regional humor...<br><br>Two guys, one from Ohio, and one from West Virginia, jump out of an airplane wearing parachutes.<br><br>The Ohioan realizes how close to the ground they are getting, and pulls his chute. The West Virginian does not.<br><br>The Ohio calls out to the West Virginian, "Hey! Better pull your chute, buddy!"<br><br>The West Virginian replies, "Not just yet."<br><br>Some hundreds of feet pass, and the Ohioan once again yells, "Hey! Pull your chute man!"<br><br>The West Virginian replies, "Not yet."<br><br>Only 8 feet from the ground, the Ohioan yells, "You're going to die!"<br><br>The West Virginian replies, "Why? I've jumped from this height lots of times!" <br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 11, 2014 |  |

| 14508 | Personal Help and Support | I would also hope that if someone needed help they would reach out in whatever way. I think that is why Vapor created the thread., obviously upset about the passing of his friend and feeling helpless as is unfortunately all too common with those affected; wanting to help in some way as is his altruistic nature. While I don't think it is the best method it is a method. Just as fuzz wanted to help with his concern about liability and I wanted to help by attempting to clear up that concern. I think most people would help another in times of crisis and definitely do not want to discourage those seeking help or trying to provide it. No matter how uncomfortable the subject may be. | NLogan | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 14507 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | That definitely works for me. The prices on eBay are what's kept me from doing this. Even the price I offered is a little higher than I want to go. But I felt bad saying any less since you're already there. In which case you should get what you can for sure.<br> | shakin steak | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 14506 | Personal Help and Support | Forums are a good resource for suicidal people. I can't count how many stories I have heard about that. Either being someone's only friends (at least as far as their perception goes), distraction from horrible feelings, making them feel better with genuine caring and compliments, providing counsel, notifying family or local emergency services when possible and necessary.<br><br>Often, people feeling that way find a forum, which doesn't require synchronized responses, speaking, or going anywhere, to be the easiest or sometimes only possible way to communicate with other people. Screen and keyboard are great equalizers as well. We know very little about each other besides what we type. A few thoughts and feelings. That's powerful. It allows expression of what someone might tell no one else they are thinking about. It allows expression of care to strangers. <br><br>I know bad feelings. I have never acted on suicidal thoughts. But I understand loneliness, hate, unmotivation, worthlessness, helplessness, sadness, and nothingness to some degree. If someone going through that is on this board, I would not like for them to feel like they have no one in the whole world they can talk to.<br><br><br> | shakin steak | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 14505 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | I have it on eBay and I think I can get 15$ for it. If it sits around for awhile with no action and you're still interested I will.<br> | vkimo | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 14504 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | Hm! Would you send that to me for $11 including shipping?<br><br>The only point and click Nintendo game I could ever play was Shadowgate. So I'm glad you sold Maniac Mansion to someone else. <br> | shakin steak | Dec 11, 2014 | |

But there is no risk. There are some successful interventions that have come from concerned people reporting suicidal behavior online where the person was found by ip or other means and a welfare check was done in person by the authorities or even family or friends. <br><br> | NLogan | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 14502 | Personal Help and Support | Criminal law is based upon trial of a suspected breaker of the law for the purpose of retribution to the victim or society, punishment of the guilty, hopefully corrections and rehabilitation of the guilty, under the broad category of justice. Since a person guilty of suicide has technically commited homicide by killing a human being, however since they cannot be tried or held accountable in any way their are no enforceablelaws against suicide. However an attempt at suicide may relinquish a person's civil rights and they can be detained civilly until they are determined not to be a threat to themselves ir others or have received treatment. The are held by civil ordinances and not by criminal law or charges against them. | NLogan | Dec 11, 2014 | |
