Well, sure, it's probably rational. I'm of that defiant sort that would stay just to fuck with them, though. To me, it makes no sense, because to me, the benefits are outweighed by the loss, in terms of why I should commit suicide.

What other people do doesn't matter much to me here...

And assisted suicide is still bullshit. tongue

You wish. Don't you remember our last talk about moral relativism? I'll make your head spin with the blues and oranges...

Bleh... considering that this is genocide, if one of these kinds of people did commit suicide, I suppose we should be thankful. No money spent to execute them ourselves...

Public executions are a means of vengeance. The public aren't going to feel their BURNING HATRED being sufficiently quelled if the guy goes out on his own terms. Which is fine by me-pandering to hatred is disgusting.

Hm, good point. Suicide watch it is, then. wink

This is going to be a circular argument between the pro- and anti-capital punishment, so, give up now while you can...

What a waste of taxpayer money <SIGH>

It's moral to commit suicide in this case. It would be immoral not to. After all: you're saving taxpayers money, and you're helping teach the world a lesson that relying on rage fueled revengeism is a bad way to do things. You have a civil DUTY to commit suicide in this case.

(provided it's actually suicide, not this assisted "suicide" bullshit). - USAF
'32 stab wounds in the back, worst case of suicide they ever saw.'

I don't know about the morality, but personally, there's no way I would commit suicide before the trial. I mean, how else would I grandstand and lure the media for my last 15 minutes of fame? After the sentancing, maybe.

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - Silasw

Right... and if I were the guard for you, I would have civic duty to stop you, since, you know, the people deserve justice for however many thousands you killed...

Yeah, that too. If I did it, why would I give up the chance to be a dick one last time? evil grin

No, but it is the product of anger at a crime. Justice is merely some form of punishment for said crime, plus rehabilitation if the person warrants it.

It was an absurd definition of justice in the other thread, it's an absurd definition of justice here ;P I won't go into a further derail though.
