Don't these aholes understand that there are people walking below who they could land on?

 

also, what about kids who maybe around to see them splat?

 

 

I really do sympathize with this guy being too sick to want to live. He was also obviously pretty psyched up and not making any good choices on the day. However there is a time and place for most things and splatting himself on a public foot path was pretty selfish. Also bloody unpleasant for his kids who will no doubt come to learn of all the details....RIP

By the way was it any of the Indian  owned 4 or 5 star hotels in Sukhumvit Road, I heard that their way of charging you for drinks with the plus plus charges etc can really make anyone suicidal! lol!

Pretty easy to be judgemental when you don't have a painful terminal disease. Why people seem to think that somebody should suffer needlessly is beyond me. Just shows a total lack of empathy.

By the way, anyone knows what was his online name for Thaivisa? Seeing the various postings here online can also be a cause to drive some people to become suicidal.

Why? I just presumed that he ended his life of a untreatable disease, it is mentioned above that he committed suicide dut to his medical condition.

I feel sorry for his family.

Nobody has the right to end his life? Would you mind explaining why, without bringing religion into it?

Depression for example when it overcomes someone it will make him/her end their lives.

His life,to do what he wants with.Could have been a bit cleaner,but who is thinking at such a moment.

So, Great! You actually think it´s perfectly okey to jump from a balcony, just because it´s his own life to do what he want with???

Are you serious, or is it just a short meltdown?

Where is it written that you don't have the right to end your own life? If life becomes unbearable through illness, mental or physical it's up to the individual to decide if they want to go on or not. Their choice.

I am not a fanatical Christian but I find your comments disturbing. Suicide or Euthanasia or whatever you want to call it is a cowards way out. If you have no family or responsibility then OK. But if you are leaving behind wives, children and other family then you are a coward. I also believe euthanasia should be illegal as life is precious as is the life of your family. By doing this you are destroying their lives too... As for jumping from a high building. Wouldn't it be easier and less gruesome to take an overdose of something...A cowards way out...

I don't agree, you are the only person who can decide what to do in any circumstance! It is emotional blackmail to make someone responsible, against their wishes, for somebody else. that is why governments have welfare departments. Everyone should have the right to terminate their life. Now think about it, jumping from a high place is not like putting your head inside an electric oven, it's for real, there's no going back, it's final! That's true courage!

I noticed lately many foreigners especially Westerners choose to commit suicide here lately. Is it common in their own country or they find it easier to take their own lives here?

must be the way the government gives info to the press. In Holland, population 17 milj. , about 900 people kill them selves in 2016, a third of them "took the train". But you do not hear to much about this other then there was a traincollision with a person.

If one has no control of his existence when he/she was born then no body has the right to end their lives but only who gave them that life.

You used the word "Nobody". So to you it doesn't matter if it's a painful debilitating disease with lousy quality of life, the depression caused by that condition bars them from seeking to end it all.

I don't know if you are familiar with the term begging the question, but that's what you are doing.

I have learned there are 2 types of depression, situational and clinical, situational is obvious such as a person has a low quality life or illness. The other has no situational cause, it is a dangerous chemical imbalance and one of the deadliest of diseases

Oh dear.. guess someone is sensitive, I had a go at my own countries Christians too (they are the ones opposing even more liberal measures). Just hate it when people limit others choices based on religion. Its normal for us to compare stuff with our or other countries. I guess your one of those people who thinks their country is perfect and any criticism is blasphemy. I often say bad things about my own or other countries don't take it so personal.

Then why the objection to suicide if taking your life doesn't offend any religious ethics?

Try and get your head around the fact that you may be more fortunate than some. If you woke up racked in pain, dependent on others to clean up your mess, would you feel the same way? Or is that concept just too complex for you to understand?

I watched my father go as you described and not for one second did he give up on the vigour of life, heart like a train, he is my role model and I have no time for surrender suicide monkeys.

You are quite correct.

Situational depression is called an Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood.However if it goes on too long then it may morph into Unipolar (major) Depression which is the clinical type you mention.

 

In the old days they were called "Exogenous" (outside) and "Endogenous" (inside)Depression-both can kill and do so with alarming frequency.

I never said I object to suicide, if you look you will see that I have no respect for a suicide idiot.

What was his "vigour of life" if he was in chronic pain and needed his bodily functions tended by others? Sounds more like a miserable life than any vigour, or did he still manage to get in a few games of tennis before playing 9 holes notwithstanding his condition?

You really have no grasp of reality, or compassion for other people's pain and misery.
