Quick question:
why don't you have fun?
It's obvious you don't like your life so why not end it?

It was a suggestion, not a command.

Please, take your time to read posts and make sure you understand them fully before responding to it.

Together we can make this forum a better place.

Dam! I came in here and thought that you were going to announce a date for the event.

You never answered my question: Why don't you have fun?

Do you enjoy your life? You seem to cry an awful lot if you do. If you don't: why don't you have fun?

Seems to me you've got two solutions to your "problems":

1. have fun.

2. Stop being such a crybaby and get on with life.

What's wrong with telling people to kill themselves over the internet? It's not like he threatened you or anything, it was just a friendly suggestion.

For some reason, that made me giggle.  I don't think I'd ever consider telling someone to kill themselves a "friendly suggestion."  Heh.

Telling someone to kill themself is not really any better or worse than any other insult or threat - it's merely voicing the sentiment that the world be better off without you. As such, it is far less insidious and evil than racism. The only time I can see there even being a comparison is if one person was clearly considering suicide, and then someone else urged them to do it - in this case there's a chance that it could push them over the edge into actually comitting the act, in which case I would say it is worse than racism. But that's not what was going on in the post in question.

Looks more like a question to me...See? it ends with a question mark.
 
To which many of us would probably respond "I love my life too much to end it now, how about you?"

It was indeed a serious question. It's the question I pose to anyone I know when they start crying like little babies. Don't get me wrong I don't mind people having an angry rant about somebody but it's when they start acting like life's terrible and playing the victim that I get bored. If life's really that terrible then they don't have to live it, I'm quite practical in that regards.

I don't ever tell people to kill themselves, I just ask them why they don't end their life if they hate it so much.

If my mates have troubles in their lives then I'm glad to help where I can... but only when they stop playing the victim.

you asshole. why would you say such a thing with nothing to provoke you? Its unthinkable to me. just like earth being flat.
very thing's a conspiracy, every thing's kept hidden from you... waiting to be uncovered.
Your so retarted, even if you went to space and saw the earth was round, you would completely deny it.

Yeah, you need some context, then some perspective.
