maybe ive not explained my self clearly then. im not saying its not a big deal in general. i can understand that it will affect who ever is close to him i.e. his parents.
i understand that it doesnt help for people to shout "jump". but this is where i come to a problem, because they didnt break a law i have a hard time determining how bad what they did actually is. though i can understand your view on the whys, hows etc
Euthenasia/suicide are prime examples. The law is there to protect the public and yet if someone wants to die, they aren't allowed. Why? It's not like they're going to harm anyone but themselves so why has this deep religious beleif which has been imposed on society carried on to this day and age?
scouse: im glad you agree with me that the whole discussion was already determined. its ncie to see im getting through to you. on the other point re: society. personally for me its not a recent thing, i have been the same since i was younger. and i can tell you back then i wasnt sat in watching the news or looking at rotten.com so i dont think its something ive learnt.
but I would say the beliefs I hold are fairly strong. I don't consider them to be irrational though - they're all from experience.
Im not talking about your opposing/aligned view points.
I am just struck by the certainty of the 'this is me, this is what I believe, this is how it is, end off ' attitude that comes from the posts. To be so adamant of your attitudes, values and beliefs, so set in concrete, shocks me a little I guess.
I think I wish I could be so certain about life, but I also think it is dangerous to shut your mind.
And I guess they could be likened to religious beliefs in that respect. However, in my case they're flexible and adaptable. If I see things that challenge my beliefs I'll adapt them.
I get the impression (and correct me if I'm wrong) that you're suggesting that one should approach the world from a completely neutral standpoint, never forming opinions on the way things work based on experiences. That seems a little unrealistic really.
if someone is standing there talking for 2 hours, the chances are they don't really want to do it anyway and it's just an attention seeking thing. Having people shout like that would just make them feel like they can't back down else fear embarressment... or maybe they just ended up proving a point and jumping anyway.
