It is this kind of comment that kills people in the real world, and to some people who feel that 'normal society' has failed them this 'interweb game forum' or some other electronic medium (forum,, EQ, any onlinesocial venue) IS their world.Joemomma5000 said:Christ go get a girlfriend or something. And don't tell me you can't. Fucking anyone can get one. Ugly girls need love. Fat chicks need lovin too. Lower your expectations and fucking UNPLUG for a while.
You're moronic if you think you can't have meaningful interactions with the people you meet through video games. I have the phone #s of most of the people I played with in [KoV] and quite a few others. Despite the fact that I've never called them with my personal troubles I've discussed many things with them in IRC or other places and gained very helpful insight into lots of stuff.Joemomma5000 said:If your first place to turn to is an online videogame 'community' then you're the fucking retard. This isn't reality my friend.None of these people can hug you, or console you. You don't even know them. You meet maybe 10% of the community maybe, once? twice a year?? And of the people, how many act COMPLETELY different in real life?? Take it for what it is: A place to discuss random shit with some dudes (and like 2 chicks) online and nothing else.

Sometimes people are only looking for attention, but do you want to be the one who makes the deciding comment to someone with a gun/pills/length of rope, and it being the wrong comment? I am sure I will receive many 'who cares?' responses. Well I pity you that your machismo has somehow eclipsed your humanity.

Having never met them in person I'm far more comfortable telling them things I'd never tell some of my closest friends, and I don't ahve to worry about things being told to other people. You're a fucking retard if you can't see some benefit in talking to people on the internet.
I do have a girlfriend (albiet one who is fucking out of town until Thursday). Furthermore it doesn't matter how they act, all that I care about are the opinions and insight they can offer me.
Ptavv said:Why Thesis, what have you got to lose for saying "Hey don't do it, it's a waste of your life?". Oh god forbid he was doing it for attention, even if he was, pat yourself on the back and say "Hey I helped save someone's life tonight, no matter how small a part I played".
It's not like people are laughing at you for expressing sympathy for someone who wants/needs it.
You are missing the fundamental point that sometimes it only takes one thing to make someone on the edge make the last, terminal step.Joemomma5000 said:Ok seriously. If a comment made here makes someone commit suicide, they were going to anyways. Sure I'll be sad at the loss of human life, but I won't feel bad about what I've said, no one forced him/her to do anything.

Is one persons life worth deciding that you can judge every person on someone elses past history?Thesis said:machismo really has nothing to do with it.
out of, let's say 413 suicide threads (random number) posted here on tribalwar, all 413 were false alarms.
fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice shame on me? i'd rather be heartless than gullible for the 413th time.
