If that's your opinion, that's fine - but a guy is grieving the loss of a family member. A little compassion and common decency would be appropriate

You're asking way too much of someone at his maturity level.

Ok, Since this board has been hijacked I will play mediator here.

First, comments made on a website are non-personable. During times of heightened emotion, it's not out of the ordinary to form strong opinions of someone without ever meeting them or knowing anything about their personality. This is the same logic behind internet only relationships. We "fill in the gaps" of the things we don't know based on what WE want to believe. So, if you're upset about something someone says, stop and think about how that person's situation is probably not the same as yours and try to realize how they probably didn't mean to offend. If it was on purpose, than realize that person is an idiot and move on with your life.

Disclaimer... BPT7, I respect your posts and the info you share. I'm in your corner.

And, I agree with most of what you said. But how can you say he was selfish and cowardly when you don't know the demons he was fighting? That's the issue everyone's taking.

wow, how ignorant you are BugaPainTrain.

i actually had no problem with you, but to call it a selfish and cowardly act is not your place.. and shows exactly the type of person you are. you don't ever know what the person is going through and every situation is different.

it's pretty selfish and cowardly of you to even say what you said. and you have no sympathy for someone who potentially is hurting so much on the inside they rather not live any more.. that's fine as you don't even need to have pity, but you also don't need to judge. we should have sad acceptance though. i don't want to get into much, but i don't take labeled suicide cases with gun shots to be absolute suicide. it very well may be, but i still am slightly skeptical unless it's 100% confirmed. either way it's not our place to judge. if it is truly suicide, it will hurt his family forever, but at some point they will have to come to some peace knowing they have closure that he took his own life.

when i was younger, i never believed depression was a real thing. i always thought they could just choose to be happy and they simply weren't.. as i have aged i have come to understand just how serious depression truly is.. you never truly know what someone is going through unless you actually go through it.. and even when you have been through something similar, you still don't truly know because not every situation is ever the same.

yeah committing suicide to avoid prosecution and face punishment for involvement with a crime can definitely be considered cowardly.. but to end your own life over personal pain with no relief in sight is not for us to judge.

People with depression and contemplating suicide are in such a pit of inner darkness you could never understand it unless you were them. If you believe you could never kill yourself then you should be thankful. It doesn't make you a better person, it just means you have more hope. I always try to believe in hope. It is a sickness they are battling and the sickness is so bad they have had enough in their minds. Often they believe they are doing everyone else a favor. Regardless if they are or not, their belief is they are.. and to me it's always about the intent of your heart.. Personally, I have immense sadness for someone that commits suicide. It is sad it came to such a fatal ending. I believe life is so very precious, but I have sympathy for these people. What I do not have any respect for is people who would do it in public or people who take other's lives with them. Any ways, try to have some compassion.. I always believe in hope, but just know sometimes they can't see it that way. Don't be an ignorant prick.

Was I the only guy excited to see Donnie Alexander getting as much time against Auburn as he did? I like that they're putting an emphasis on getting as much LB depth as they can out of the guys already on the roster.

Let me try to explain my point by way of analogy:

I believe that drinking and driving is a terrible thing. In fact, I think it is incredibly selfish.

Now, let's say I meet a person that just lost their brother in a car accident. The brother was drunk.

I could explain to them that their brother was being incredibly selfish; he risked the lives of countless others when he decided to get behind the wheel of his car and, ultimately, it is a good thing that he only killed himself.

Would I say this? No.

Why not? Empathy and common decency.

Does it mean that my position on drinking and driving has changed? No.

on that note... did jrevonte have any additional info about Moses the Younger?

I'm assuming "new" is on hold with him at least until visits, with LSU leading (margin unknown to be conservative).
