THis shit isnt fuckin cool

[sagelanoj]

I'm thinking why do the other people comment on this with "they should really kill themselves...". Are they really thinking that the veterans should die or the people hid and gave rise to these suicide rates?

Come on people shouldn't we be more responsible for those of us who doesn't have the strength to carry their burdens alone? Shouldn't we give a hand out for these poor people who are killing themselves?

I agree. But I really don't see any see anything wrong with them killing themselves. They are horrible people whom the world would be better off without. Let them die.
