I don't blame you for thinking like that, but I don't think most people can really judge people that end their own lives because the majority of people are never in such a hopeless state of mind that they would rather kill themselves than continue to live.
I don't claim to know how he felt in any way, but I'm certainly in no place to judge the guy.

I read his posts before it happened. Had a gut feeling that it was for real but I didn't do anything. Feel awful.

I think it's sad that that site has so many attention-whoring trolls that no one actually believed the guy who was serious.

From my POV, and im no expert just a psychology student. Suicide = Sickness + Weakness edit: Natural Weakness from the persons mind, not weakness caused by whatever metal illness he had. What is "natural weakness"? Genetic disorders, birth defects, or what?
I dont know the terms in english since i studied it in portuguese, but lemme try to explain
when i was studying the development of childrens brains, they told us that every person has a inherent mental flexibility, that allows the mind to sustain so much traumatic change without becoming sick/traumatized/whatever.
they say that a children with very low tolerance to outside traumas (and read traumas in a broad way) can still thrive and succeed with good enviromental conditions, but will most certainly fall apart in bad enviroments, while people with high tolerance will usually thrive whenever you put them.
they will be the raped girls who do seminars on how to recover from it, drug addicts that help others leave drugs, and so on.
This is related to kids tho, its assumed adults have a higher degree of capability to overcome traumas, problem is sometimes the trauma they have lived is their whole story, its all they are, getting over it, would be killing the image they know of themselves.
im getting offtopic =p

Flashback is like 4Chan but worse. 4Chan is mostly trolling douchebags who pretend to be fucked up and so on. Flashback houses some of Swedens most dangerous people. For instance every Neo Nazi in Sweden has an active account there and the murderer of Björn Söderberg (A swedish anarchist who got murdered by nazis for getting a nazi sacked for wearing T-shirts with racist messages at work) hangs there and stalks people he disagrees with.
Not saying that there arent some good forums there but the really really really bad ones are just too bad.

Millions of people spend their lives in front of their computer for so long, obsessing over webforums, sites, identity and games. That they all become so disconnected from reality, their minds become consumed by it. It border lines with mental illness really, an addiction called the internet syndrome.
Reading a few pages of that thread on Flashback just makes me disgusted, people become insensitive careless douchebags on the internet, Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Asshole!

Because they can't handle the pain like others. Because they pick the easy way out. Suicide is the most final and prime example of avoiding problems rather than dealing with them.
Not only is it cowardly, it's selfish as well.
Because they think of only of themselves and their own pain, ignoring the emotional and psychological pain and problems you are causing your parents, family, friends, random people who see you on the internet, etc; as well as ignoring the financial burden you are leaving them with.
You are basically saying you don't give a fuck about how anyone else ends up, feels, is affected, because you are so much more important than anyone else that your pain needs to end, fuck everyone else.
Suicide is cowardly and selfish. It's the last choice of someone with a weak mind.
Please understand, as someone who has been on the brink, I feel for someone who feels the need to end their own life, but someone who is not a coward will man up to their problems, no matter the source, and deal with them. Sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

I also agree that suicide is selfish, because really the only person it hurts are the people around you.. but anyways, I saw some of the pictures by accident and it sucks that so many people had to witness it that didn't want to, and that a life was wasted away because of the whole cry wolf factor.

Suicide is cowardly and selfish? Grow up.
99% of the time suicide is cowardly and pathetic, but 1% of the time it is a perfectly reasonable and rational act.
For a person to have a "successful" life, yet still commit suicide is nothing more than an indicator of how important it is to be polite and friendly to strangers. You don't know what kind of life they live, nor the burdens they suffer. A person may be weird or have odd habits but that doesn't mean they should be discriminated against.

It's selfish but people do selfish things all the time. You can't find someone who hasn't done a selfish thing. With selfishness being so common, and arguably essential, it's a pretty weak label when you're trying to judge something. It's especially weak when you cannot measure the pain from the two options. If the man who wants to kill himself is suffering more than anyone else will suffer as a result of him killing himself, then it's not selfish for him to kill himself from a utilitarian perspective. It's selfish for everyone else to stop him.
It's also a ridiculous thing to say that suicide is a way of avoiding problems and not dealing with them. It absolutely deals with any problem you have. It's a perfect solution. But you hear otherwise as part of the propaganda of people who are against suicide. They never justify the statement and they can't.

Great, lets all go and suicide because we have problems, I'm first because I'm fat and people laugh behind my back. (I'm not actually fat.) But I don't really mind suiciding because in the end every one can do whatever they want with their lives and you can't really stop some one from suiciding in the long run unless you put them in some asylum or something like that.

They have, multiple times. The site isn't hosted from Sweden anymore, I think the server is in Britain somewhere if I recall correctly. Used to visit it frequently before, but I eventually reached the same conclusion as Sl4ktarN. 90% underage self proclaimed alternative people who copypaste boring memes and racist crap in attempts of boosting their postcounts and becoming oldbies. 9% are actually sensible people who don't venture outside the humour forums, and the remaining 1% are the real fuckups you really should avoid.
Maybe wasn't mentioned that there are plenty of pedophiles there as well. Of course not openly sharing shit on the forums, but still. I don't really go beyond humour, technical support and those areas anymore.

I pretty much agree with everything you said here, but still I can't help to feel sad about the guy and his relatives. Must be some kind of animalish basic instict. It's pretty much clear the this person had made up his mind, but wouldn't you just feel the urge to try and save him? Even if his decision is fair and square, the other alternative is even sweeter if he should have changed his mind.

scary OP. Not a good mood setter for today.

Suicide is selfish because it doesn't take into account other people's feelings. Unlike my judgment of suicidal people, which takes into full account their feelings.

Well, in this man's case he had Asberger's syndrome, so that may have affected his ability to deal with the problems he was facing. People with Asbergers have trouble interacting with people and communicating their thoughts. Maybe he was trying to get help, but the people around him, not fully understanding of his condition, got fed up with him or just assumed he was an idiot. We don't know his whole story.
