People who kill themselves suck!.

My brother killed himself (right before X-mas, too). And I totally agree with you.

One of my best friends did too in College. I'm still pissed at him for taking the easy (and cowardly) way out. Suicide is the most selfish act there is, IMHO.

Oh, McWop - I didn't see this thread 'til just now. I'll see what I can find on our wire.

Here's our latest, and it's from last night:

Dungy's son found dead

TAMPA, Florida (Reuters) - The 18-year-old son of Tony Dungy, head coach of the top-ranked Indianapolis Colts football team, was found dead on Thursday in Tampa, police said.

A spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to James Dungy's apartment at about 1:30 a.m. by his girlfriend. They were unable to revive Dungy and he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Dick Bailey, a spokesman for the Hillsborough Medical Examiner, said an autopsy to determine the cause of death will not be completed until Friday at the earliest.

The St. Petersburg Times quoted Bailey as saying that Dungy's death was "apparently a suicide."

Asked by Reuters about whether it was a suicide, Bailey said, "I know of nothing to conflict with that," adding that the cause of death would not be conclusive until the autopsy was finished.

Tony Dungy, in his 10th season as a National Football League head coach, directed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1996 until he was fired after the 2001 season. He turned the Buccaneers from perennial losers into winners that made the NFL playoffs four times in six years.

After he was fired following a playoff loss in January 2002, Dungy was immediately hired by the Colts.

This season the Colts won their first 13 games before losing last Sunday at home to San Diego. They play at Seattle this Saturday.

Dungy and his family kept close ties with Tampa after he left. He was active in civic events in Tampa and Indianapolis and remained popular with Tampa fans.

Dungy and his wife have two other sons and two daughters. James and his brothers were often on the sidelines at Dungy's games, and he often said his most important job was being a father.

"It's hard to fathom what this means unless you're a parent, and if you are a parent, there aren't any words to express the kind of pain that I'm sure they're feeling," Colts president Bill Polian told reporters in Indianapolis.

Dungy flew to Tampa after learning of his son's death, the Colts said.

Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell will lead the team until Dungy returns, Polian said.

You're an asshole

[iceman]

You're an asshole

Should he go kill himself?

Was your friend mentally ill? did he suffer from depression? Most people don't commit suicide for fun you know...if someone's suffering from a mental illness, depression, etc (like most who commit suicide are) I don't think it's fair to call it "easy" or "cowardly" or "selfish".

[fridge]

Really enjoying the icon aren't you?

and I don't think its fair for ou to tell us how we should feel.

As long as there is love, it is okay to hate what they did, or call them weak or an asshole or a stupid fucking prick.

I miss ya Dave, you fucking fucktard - you had so much to live for. RIP.

[shit sandwich]

Should he go kill himself?

Sounds good to me...what he said wasn't the least bit funny...IMHO of course

[Blurred]

I seem to remember you posting that you hate anybody that kills themselves when I had a friend kill themselves, now you are memoralizing them. What gives?

RIP Dungy's kid.

Do we have to have this discussion everytime someone kills themself? You know my position. That doesn't mean it isn't sad.

[13]

Damn, that is really sad.

Can't help but wonder if the family or girlfriend saw the signs but didn't know what they meant.

Yeah I agree with you honestly, it just still boggles my mind when I see one of your posts nowadays and it isn't rife with antagonistic intent. It throws me for a loop.

I'm glad to know you have respect for my feelings.

The kid died you retard, there's nothing funny about that and no reason to make a joke of it.

[Cono Este]

depression can be a horrible illness. A co worker of mine hung himself a few years back. His company went belly up, his wife left him and he owed money to the wrong people. He got hooked on prescription medication and just lost it. I will never put that shit in my body.

Miss ya Cabot.

I'm glad you're feeling better...nice to know that making fun of someone commiting suicide can make you feel good about yourself.

A cop walks into a room where a suicide obviously took place... The dead man was sitting on top of a pile of clothes slumped over with flesh, bone, and brain splattered on the wall behind him.

He says to another cop ... "I guess he wanted to air out his dirty laundry."

I'm not feeling entirely better- it's a healing process. Humor is what gets me through these dark times. I'm glad you are open to other people's ways of dealing with grief.
