You've still yet to actually refute anything I've said with logic. Still. You've yet to build an actual factual argument against my point, instead derailing everything. You know my point now. Maybe you didn't before, but now it has been spelled out, and you still haven't refuted it in any conceivable way.

It should be obvious.

Anyway, suicide is a choice, mental illness or not. Mental illness can be a key player in that choice, but the mental illness doesn't tie the noose, it doesn't load the shotgun. I can see why you (or others whose ideas you're reiterating) would think the way that you do through an analytical look at the word symptom, but I don't think that it's as cut and dry as that. Sure, suicide can be a symptom of mental illness, but making the decision to kill yourself is every bit as much a decision as not killing yourself. Say I want to smack a motherfucker because I have severe anger issues. Is my smacking the motherfucker no longer a choice? If no, has everyone who has slapped a motherfucker not done it on their own accord? It seems like you're the one misunderstanding suicide as only being the product of mental illness when there are several other reasons that people kill themselves. It'd be cool to converse with you on this, see a little more where you're coming from, but let's cut the pettiness because it sounds like neither of us are a fan of derailing a thread. It's in your hands.

Suicide is not an act carried out exclusively by mentally ill people, though. There are so many scenarios and causes to consider that the logic behind declaring suicide as an act objectively devoid of choice is beyond me. Sometimes it's a choice. Sometimes it's not. Don't see why everybody has to argue and have a pissing match. You in particular should consider a more tame approach. You obviously don't give a **** about that though, so it's whatever. As you were. Quote:
