If you kill yourself due to depression, you are probably an ego-driven idiot who cared about yourself more than your family.

Define insane. I've always thought of it as the opposite of sane. Sane being of sound healthy mind. Insane meaning not of sound healthy mind. THere are varying degrees of insanity, and as I said earlier, Junior probably could have and should have gotten help. In that sense, it IS his responsibility. But I can't ever know what it's like to be in the head of a person who has everything going for him and every reason to live who doesn't feel like it's a good idea to live. You say selfish, I say ****in' nuts.

Suicide does not make sense. It goes against our basic instinct of survival. Hense, if you feel the need to off yourself, there is something seriously wrong upstairs.

That doesn't excuse it, by the way. But it sure provides explanations.
