yer i agree with you there m8

Yes.............Him...........indeed.........;)

I do agree with Esus to an extent, especially when they mention it all the time. I know someone who got really "depressed" when her parents were going through divorce. She irritated me. I killed her with a Duck.

Esus, let me say now, while I still hold you in the highest respect for your opinion, that was possibly the worst thing I have ever heard.
People don't wake up and say, "Hey, I guess I'll try being depressed for a while."
Something happens that puts them in that mindframe. They can not control what makes them depressed. Sure, they can fake happiness for a while, but that is not the same as making yourself get over depression.
And don't dare say that people who are depressed should do you a favor and kill themselves. I knew a person once who thought everyone wanted him dead, and it took a lot of talking and a lot of patience to get him to back off the ledge.
Have some respect; people go through some tough shit now and then.

Oh my god, Esus.

I really don't like you.

I'm sorry, but that was the most ignorant thing I've heard this month.

They can't control wether they feel like crap or not...just because you don't have it doesn't mean you can just dismiss it as "faking it" or "stupid". Plus the fact that you laugh at it makes you seem even more American.

Gr.

Heh, Mac. Your sig is a scan from the same French textbook i use.

Though I think you stated it a bit harsh, Esus, you're a bit right to some extent. Back when I was a middle school, I now see everybody was a self-centered prick trying to gain sympathy for themselves, putting them into a "depressed" mindset. I still say all the attention put on it is partly the cause of so many people supossedly being depressed. I've probably only met one person I can truly vouch for, and that would be my ex. She's a freaking lunatic.

There's a major difference between people with true depression and them sympathy fishers; one group I can sympathize with, the others should stop whining and get out more.

Haha, awesome.

I scanned like 10 images from that book just 'cause they were so dumbly funny.

Precisely. This is what annoys me incredibly much. I may be insensitive, but only when it comes to depression. People care way too much about things they shouldn't care about, and they linger too much on past events.

By the faking it, I was referring to attempted suicide, not fake depression...

Americans into black comedy are they? Good-oh. Well, it doesn't matter how I seem to other people really, I'm still English. Funny also, that the two people who almost agree with me are also English/in England. Can't seem that American then.

I'm not saying I want the depressed to be killed or anything like that. I'm saying I don't respect the depressed at all.

I didn't. I said if they did, it would be a favor, but not that they should do it.

No, but they can control being depressed. They've just got to have some self control and stamina

Learn to tolerate. It'll get you furthur than dismissing people due to idle comments posted on the net.

I'm gonna leave this thread now, I'm normally incredibly impassive on such matters and dont have an opinion to give. Suddenly giving myself one is tiring. I'll go back to indifference.

God, i hate it when people quote like that.

It's quicker though, and it saves time from putting the whole 'Quoted from...' blahness.

Well I know I feel sorry for people who are dipressed because they don't deserve to go through such stress. Its when they don't want to listen to you is what fustraits me. Ya know your sitting there and you see someone trying to kill himself. You try to help them but they go ahead and kill them self anyway and for what? Its like "What a waste ya know?"

Its very sad and very serious and I think people whome praise such acts needs to wake up and realise that a fellow person just took their life. And they need to stop thinking about themselves and actually go and make a difference.

It sickens me that in this world there are people whome praise death instead of life. And well I shake my head towards that.

Paramiteabe... :fuzblink:

By American I meant ignorant.

Having been depressed before, I was quite offended at what you said, Esus. Being depressed is nothing I do on purpose to get attention. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes depression to occur. Trust me, I've researched this.

Now, here's a common misconception. People who are deeply depressed DO NOT want attention. They just like to be left alone. It's like, the world has turned it's back on you, and you're fed up and don't want to be a part of it anymore.

There is another type of chemical imbalance, but it is not depression. It's the attention seekers that are Gothic and cut themselves. That doesn't mean something isn't wrong with them......it just means they're messed up in another way.

-oddguy

as long as my buddy Prozac and I stay away from sad films, I'm A-OK!

Nads, something tells me you aren't being serious.
But its cool if you are trying to make light of it, since people don't want to be sad all the time
But yes, what Oddguy said is true, it is a chemical imbalance, and there ain't much you can do. Prozac helps keep it under control, but there isn't a permanent cure for it.
I had another point I wanted to make, but it slipped my mind. I'll edit it in later, if I remember.

I think Esus has set the record for the dumbest thing i've ever heard from the OWF! And just cause Esus said such a thing about deppresed people, someday he too will be deppresed. Kiss my Teddy Bear!

The End!

GrigtheSlig :D

I found something dumber...

I rest my case!:D

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fine, i'll rephrase the above statement...

That was one of the most ignorant things i've heard on the OWF!

Who's happy?

GrigtheSlig :D

Quote my ignorance.

I'm normally incredibly impassive on such matters and dont have an opinion to give. Suddenly giving myself one is tiring. I'll go back to indifference.

I can't stand it when people start preaching, it's the most irritating thing, like, ever. Well, second to having a Fly invade your eye.

People, get over it. I see people calling others ignorant when they ooze ignorance themselves. Does anyone really care? Really? No, they don't.

'It's the attention seekers that are Gothic and cut themselves.'

Generalisation there - i know Trendies who cut themselves and it's their way of coping with the mental pain.

On a seperate note, i've seen this Goth guy walk around town recently and he wears tshirts and he has loads of cuts going up his arms, its quite hott. I've made a mental note to speak to him.

LOL! ALL OF YOU ARE SUICIDAL! There are other ways than suicide you know, just kill the people who are annoying you, then get out of the country!

you have no idea how funny i found that.

C'mon, kiddies, Esus should be able sto speak his opinions here without being blasted away, being called ignorant stupid:p This is starting to sound exactly like an Evolution/Creation, Life/Choice, or Pro Gay/Nay Gay Marrige convorsations. Strong emotions, yet relatively uncivilized.

Plus, at least try to see it from his side. I know I already said this, but I used to be surrounded by overdramatic whining preps. Hell, I used to be one. God damn though, if I had to be stuck back around them, I'd end up being the most hated guy in class from all the random insults I'd be throwing. Oddguy said there were the depressed people and then the attention seekers. Too much time around the AS's could easily give you extremely negative views on self-pity and "depression", no?

I like Esus. Just because I didn't like one of his comments doesn't mean I think less of him. Now, somebody like Jacob who makes weird comments all the time forces me to not like him.:D

Go ahead and state your opinion, Esus.

-oddguy

Esus is female...

would ya look at that! Shes a he!

I mean, I'm male... yeah.... I think so....
...Well, now I'm confused... :(

Shim? She-he?

See? Now you guys have confused the poor guy. Gal. Whatever:p

Esus's profile says Male. :dodgy:
