It's called Darwinism in action. Why interfere with nature?

Please refrain from endorsing suicide. Its explicitly against the COC. Any further posts condoning it will be deleted.

I didn't think serial's quote was endorsing it.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Why interfere with nature?

To me that is a pure neutral statement. It does not endorse nor condemn the action. It is a more leave it alone and let the chips fall where they may. Can we not voice a neutral approach to the subject either? For future clarification.

You, sir, are in error. The CoC states that posts advocating suicide will be edited or deleted. To advocate something is to 'speak, plead, or argue in favor of'.

To endorse a thing is simply 'to give support to, to sanction or approve' it, and to condone a thing is to 'excuse, overlook, or make allowances for' it. To express one's opinion condoning or endorsing suicide is neither arguing in favor of it, nor is it an exhortation to engage in it, and as such should be permissible for purposes of discussion. Saying 'I admire Dr. Kevorkian and respect his work' is entirely different than saying 'I think you should make an appointment to go see him'...

The COC might not be perfectly clear on this, but I can assure everyone I will be.

Even pithy back-handed endorsements won't be tolerated.

Every staff member we have is well aware of my feelings in this matter, and will act accordingly.

Thanks for your cooperation.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Well this is clearly the sad result of many things occuring our society. I like to think of it as the overload of the minds. I mean everywhere you go you see people constantly texting, checking emails, playing with their phones etc. People cannot stop for a second and think. Without normal communication with other human beings, depression can ensue. All of this multi-tasking tends to increase stress level. It doesn't help that the youth of today are more then ever given propaganda. You have to be a certain way or somethings wrong with you. We don't seem to encourage creativity anymore. Just watch the Disney Channel for twenty minutes and you'll see what I mean. The world is a lot darker then yesterday. Many of the kids with the internet and stuff have entered this era of everything being so instant. Their minds cannot handle the constant stimuli.
