There are morons who won't give you the time of day. But there are also mentally ill teenagers......
So if you tell a troubled mentally ill teenager to kill himself and he does it...........
This thread and it's so call Compassionate Christian conservatives will disolve faster than a dead roadside possum infested with maggots..........
The question of what you should do and what the law should punish are two different things. I would never advise anyone to commit suicide (except environazis saying there are too many people, and even that would be an obvious jest to make a political point), but to punish such an act of making that suggestion, especially from a distance, not at gunpoint, is to me highly questionable.
