Cut the crap and shut the fuck up, those of you who think this is fun. This is a tragedy.
Of course it happened because "ripper" didn't know when to stop, but how the fuck does that mean you can make fun of him?
Lots of people don't know when to stop, and lots of people fall for peer pressure, but what do you do with them? You help them to stop. You don't fucking let them keep on going until they're fucking dead.
The people in the chat room who tried to stop him, find his phone number, where he lived, did the right thing.
This makes me so fucking angry. It's like his brother said, the people who encouraged it don't realise that it's not just text on a screen, but a real person.
I'm not necessarily directing this towards anyone, just generally to people who find this "hilarious".
Feel attacked if you deserve it. I think you know if you do.

When thousands of people die completely unexpectedly in a terrorist attack, that's a tragedy.
This guy abused the medical system in order to look macho in front of people he had never met, and quite foreseeably died as a result.
If ripper was still alive, I would unquestionably object to people making fun of his predicament, and wish for him to make a full recovery. However, it's over for him. Flying into a pissy fit because people are using his death as a crutch for off-colour jokes is not going to bring him back, and certainly won't help people in similar situations.
That said, anyone who was in that channel approving of his actions deserves to lose the use of at least two limbs.

I don't understand how people could not find this hysterical. He fucking killed himself live on IRC! His last words had a goddamn typo! This is the funniest thing to happen so far this year. If I were in that channel I'd be egging him on too. He was a waste and the only important thing he did with his life was make me laugh for a good five minutes.

I don't actually think it's very funny at all, and I certainly didn't laugh about it. However, the fact remains that he did obtain most, if not all, of those drugs illegally. If I were in that chatroom, I would've done anything in my power to get him to stop and get him help, but, in all honesty, that is probably the dumbest thing I've seen, by far, ever. It's the equivalent of playing Russian roulette with yourself - and forgetting to only leave one bullet in the revolver. I am angry and disgraced that not only did he do that to himself, but the people in the chatroom were in on it as well.
It is a sad day for humanity. [ 02-03-2003, 04:13 PM: Message edited by: Fenix ]

You don't think his family's upset? His friends, relatives? You think they don't consider this a tragedy?
I may have used the term "tragedy" a bit careless, I was referring mostly to how his family and relatives must feel.
Still, what kind of world are we living in when people cheer on other people they don't even know to kill themselves?
What makes me most angry is that you're right, Psybro. Being angry about this won't bring him back, it won't help others in the same situation.
It's tough, but it's life. Gotta make sure you make the best of it for yourself, even though I wish everyone else could have a great life too.

They only deserve pity if they died because of something beyond their control.
This fuckwit took about two pounds of drugs in one hour, in lethal doses, and knew damn well he was doing it.
I hope they buried him, because if they cremated him, someone out there could probably get high off his ashes.

If this didn't kill him he would have found another way sooner or later...

Fucking idiot.
Well, at least this is a good incentive to start using good grammar on the Internet. If you died while chatting then the news will use lines from your chat and barely make any spelling corrections. Thus everyone sees you for the idiot that you were. How can you possibly retain any dignity you might have had if your last words are "dood uz suak zo mach i m zo fakkin kewl w00ttt!111!! lol! wtf? lol! wtf! omg! omg! lol! leet!!!!!!!111!11!!!1!" ¬_¬

I'm not sure whether to feel sorry for the kid or condemn him- I mean, he obviously had serious problems... but at the same time, there's no denying that the planet is better off that he didn't reproduce.
Mostly, I agree with the people that feel sorry for his family. Suicide is never easy to deal with, for anyone involved, and nobody should have to know that their brother/son/cousin/etc died while chatting on IRC with a bunch of worthless scum. That's just awful... what a terrible way to die.
I think I'm sad for the waste involved here... suicide is always a waste of human worth, and this one a waste of two thousand years of civilization, people _cheering it on_ like the lion combats in Rome... What are we, anyway?
I think I'm ashamed of myself, too. How many times have I egged a friend on? Not to kill themself, but to do some pretty stupid stuff... and yeah, some of it could've ended badly. The fact that it didn't isn't an indicator of superior intelligence on my part, just that I'm luckier than that poor slob.
This sucks. Enough said.

More seriously, any and all of my sympathy goes to his family, not to the 1337 hardcore overdoser. I do feel sorry for them, as they're the ones who have to deal with his death. Mr. Vedas has, as they say, "tripped off this mortal coil". He died of stupidity.

I wouldn't condone him getting himself wasted to the point of death, but I sure don't pity his idiocy.
Honestly... if a few idiots in a chat room can convince you to finish yourself off, you can't be too many steps from the edge anyway (even if you're too stupid to notice it's there).

I would frequently construct a tent out of parts I found in the local dump, and sleep in it for every night in a week. But, by God, I got over it. I still occassionaly get the urge to light a campfire and start singing gay little ditties, but I resist.
