Junior Seau Dead Cops Investigating Shooting

Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife.

Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years.

Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel.

I understand where you're coming from (and you are consistent on this issue) and I agree with you to a certain extent. The problem is you're being very callous about a sensitive subject. It's going to rub some people the wrong way.

Omg, what if it is contagious?? It could be the trees and the plants causing it..

I pray you never have to go through depression or see someone you love go through it. It is an awful thing.

How do you type with an IQ in single digits?

She wasn't looney either, just stressed and depressed. I imagine she either had no idea how it'd impact her family, or didn't care. I admit that incident informed my opinion on seemingly senseless suicide years later, but I don't apologize for it, and I believe I'm right. It is an unbelievably selfish, destructive act, and I've got no patience for it. If you aren't utterly crazy or in pain, then people who kill themselves, especially if they leave behind a family, do not deserve to be remembered fondly, at all.

The academic research also backs up the idea that the thought of suicide is very temporary and fleeting. People who try regret their attempt, so that tells me, aside from the people in pain ready for Kevorkian, are weak-willed and or ego-driven.

Well, not all suicides are alike, because not all people are alike.

I get that and I'm okay with it. I do it intentionally. I'm an assertive person and I make my position known to everybody in my circle. Off yourself and I'll grieve for your family but if you didn't care enough about them to consider their feelings then why should I care after you've done it? It's not okay to kill yourself, people. You'll feel better but if you're leaving children behind you're maiming them for life. I have more patience for the idiot who ate his toddlers eyes in a drugged up haze.

Yeah, I can tell by your responses. I don't know if you can read between the lines but I've struggled with depression since 1991. It is an awful thing.

And I am still not stupid enough to kill myself, did that mean your friend had less IQ then me?

I'm not in grief, but it does appear to be a healthier place to be rather than a presumptuous mode of choosing either one or the other of two absolutist default modes of judgment.

As said earlier, my stance is a hardline one and I do it consciously. I do it for accountability for myself and the ones I care about. I'm not unique in how I feel. I'm just more verbose and secure about it than other people.

You typed that before and broke you promise, so I just assumed you were a liar after that, going to stick to your word this time??

that's a little nutty of a response in itself, Valiant.
