I don’t take you seriously because I don’t believe you really want to die. People who think life isn’t worth living don’t spend their time debating topics that are largely about quality of life.

I find this post terribly irresponsible. What if you’re wrong?

That would be unfortunate. mfm should seek help, but he’s said repeatedly he won’t seek any form of treatment.

I’d like him to stop referencing the meaninglessness of life as if it’s a supporting argument. I’d also like him to stop mapping his feelings about life and death onto everyone else (“Why would anyone want to live longer?”). Whether he really wants to die or not, almost everyone else doesn’t. I won’t indulge that. Suicide has affected me personally several times. I can assure you I take it seriously.

Then why say this?

That’s an extraordinarily broad and potentially dangerous brush to paint with, independent of mfm specifically. Is this based solely on your personal experiences that you’re referencing, based on anecdotal information, or based on academic studies? I’m asking legitimately because I don’t know the answer, it just strikes me as an unlikely absolute.

Hi there - long time lurker, first time poster.

Something I have seen elsewhere, but I haven’t noticed here, is the ability to list the most current posts all on one page (regardless of forum).  This allows you to do all your browsing from one page instead of having to visit each of the forums.

If I missed this function, my apologies.  Otherwise, would love to see this.

We need this more than ever.

The decision to prosecute all who enter illegally is a hard choice. I know it’s easy to think of Trump as a combover twirling villain who enjoys inflicting hardship but illegal immigration has been rampant and unless we are going to do nothing about it, hardships will continue.

This isn’t true. Illegal immigration isn’t a problem now and it hasn’t been in recent memory, if ever.

You’re drunk.

You’re telling me that illegal immigration is a major issue facing the country today?

Yes. I am pretty sure I am not only person that believes that. For something that isn’t a major problem, everyone sure does talk about it a lot.

People talk about all sorts of things that aren’t true.

JEDIT: Apologies if already posted.

Police murder people on a daily basis. Most Americans don’t care.

“People?”

What? Whenever I get outraged over police murder, I get a pretty tepid response from the people I’m talking to. If not tepid, then they’re actively defending the police.

Jay got my meaning and then cited some stuff to supposedly disprove it.

You think illegal immigration doesn’t exist or you’re not aware of why it’s problematic?

I’m sure he knows it exists and that they’re all a bunch of raping murderists.
