Racism

I don't think 'hard right groups' are a great problem. They occasionally come out of the woodwork and gain undue prominence but their influence is negligible and they are best ignored. Far more pernicious in the UK at least is the apparent increase in those who believe that making racist, homophobic, etc remarks is acceptable on the grounds that to do so is 'politically incorrect'. The practitioners of such nonsense are always deeply tiresome, witless individuals of the first order.

wow , where doesn't racism exist...

you just have to ignore some things and move on i guess

And those rules caused someone to commit suicide?
That is totally illogical.

So is the state of mind of anyone who wishes to commit suicide. Reason and logic don't come into the decision.

By it's very definition Suicide cannot be caused by force. If forced then it is homicide.

Do you have problems understanding plain English or are you just trolling? I never said stupid government rules cause someone to commit suicide. What I said was that they make life harder for people working in the government sector, and lately in the private sector. If someone commits suicide, it's their choice, not the government's. I thought this was pretty obvious.

Exactly. If you start responding to every little thing, it's gonna be a long frustrating day.

Well I think suicide is a personal preference. Certainly things can cause one to take this route and hopefully we can sense that and try to help. But at the end of the day people who commit suicide usually do that in spite of people intervening. One of my best friend committed suicide and I often thought I should have done more. Then a friend of mine who knew at least three people who committed suicide told me to leave it alone. I offered friendship at no cost and would have be at his side in a moments notice if he asked. I suppose economic conditions played into the decision, but at the end he knew he had friends that would get him through. But on the other side of the coin I probably would not seek help from friends in time of crisis. Maybe family. Some people just decide they don't want to live anymore and for my personal reasons I want them to. It is not up to me.. I will help just about anyone who is contemplating suicide - but just because the decision is quite final. I was close enough to this person that he could have called and told me "HELP"
And Visa Versa.
