This kid needs a swift backhand, bet he never got a spankin in there whole life, my kids are 7 and know better than to joke about suicide especially to try to rob something, liberal fucktards saying spankings are bad, sometimes kids need a good old fashioned spanking otherwise they grow up to be spoiled little whiney self centered jerks who do shit like this dipshit did.
What if he really was suicidal? Would they still have arrested him instead of getting him help? Threatening suicide should get you a trip to the hospital not jail.
Because it said that he was not really suicidal; he told the police it was a joke. Either way, attempting suicide is illegal and warrants arrest if you do not need immediate medical attention. Then you will probably end up with some inpatient hospital time.
If someone says they are going to kill their neighbor, and the police show up and they say " it was a joke" do you think the police are just going to walk away?
The reason threatening suicide is a crime is because of false alarms. If a credible person says they are going to commit suicide, you do not want a first responder (police/emt) not taking it seriously. it's the same reason why pulling a fire alarm is a crime even if you never planned on starting a fire. You don't want there to be so many false alarms that first responders stop showing up or get complacent.
Also, just because he was 'arrested' does not mean he didn't get a psych evaluation. They put you in handcuffs so you can't hurt yourself, they process you through the police station, but then they will call in a shrink to evaluate if the threat was real. If the threat was real, more than likely the charges would be dropped and the kid would get help, if the kid was 'joking' then he'll probably be charged (ironic, no?).
In any event, Blizzard did the right thing. Not only from a humanistic standpoint, but also from a legal standpoint. If they hadn't had responded, the parents would have sued them had they found out.

You might not be ashamed of wanting people too 'drown people at birth' and calling people a 'parasite and a low life' but I certainly would. Can't you articulate your frustrations without resorting to such baseness? And if you want people to treat your comments with slightly more respect try not to resort to such behaviour and I'm sure it could illicit a more positive response.
If 'kids' making flippiant comments, boil your blood so much you probably better not frequent the Internet(and especially this site!), TV or the outside in general.
It is really pothetic that a kid will go to such lengths to fake being sucidal. Especially for the purpose of trying to get something out of it. Honestly, I think that being arrested was for the best for this kid. But at the same time, it is ludicrous that the GMs have to play the role of "babysitters" or "guardians" of these kids today.
Where are the parents and what the hell are they doing? They need to be spending more time with their kids, and perhaps making them give World of Warcraft a break for awhile and use that $15 a month they are paying towards something else better for their kids. Maybe then, situations such as this one, may be avoided through out the future.

Hmm now I'm going to hazard a guess here, you're not from the UK, otherwise you'd have understood the Irony of that comment, very similar to a comment I remember my mother saying to a younger brother of mine, many years ago, when a good slap never hurt anybody and you would not be charged with child abuse for administering it either. My brother had made some nasty comments about a disabled girl that lived in our street, and he was told by my mother that if she had known as we were going up, that he would grow up to be a spiteful and wilful as of the comments, then she would have slapped it out of him as a child, which is something that this 17 year old may have missed as a child, perhaps if he had been taught this lesson in life he would have not claimed what he did, but that is something we will never know.
But give yourself a pat on the back for spotting it, it's good to see that it's not mainly just kids that read these boards,

Now I've read and re-read my post, and at no point do I claim to be a saint, so either I'm going blind or you're seeing what you want to see.
Just to educate you dear boy, the term " I'd have drowned you at birth " is a figure of speech, and does not literally mean that I would have drowned them at birth, it basically means that they would have gotten a darn good spanking, and no not at birth, so it is you that have misinterpreted myself not visa versa, and again I say that I have never done anything that I am ashamed of, there is an old adage that I believe would be fitting here.
" Sticks and stones my break my bones, but names will never hurt me "
Now speaking of claiming to be a saint, I really would advise you to go back and read your overly holier than thou patronising post again, and see whom is claiming to be the saint, I'd try a few times if I were you, with any luck then you may get it, though I doubt that. (That's sarcasm old boy, you do know what that is don't you?)
I think his parents need to role-play that all his WoW characters committed a mass suicide and they should delete each of them for good.
LOL now that's a good idea, would teach him a very good lesson, and take the object of his obsession away from him, cos lets face it, to sink so low, he had to be obsessed with WOW.
I suppose statements such as 'you don't deserve to live' and 'i laugh at you and your sad life' were both misinterpreted by me, I obviously don't come from a culture where these statements are equal to 'a good spanking' please forgive my ignorance. (its certainly not how I would talk to my kids)
Again I was merely pointing out that these kind of statements, in my opinion, seemed to be slightly over the top. If your going to be so indigent over another's post , then the use of approaite language would seem to be in order. I would not use this type of statements, therefore I questioned your statement of ' never being ashamed' that was all. As far as I'm aware I have not thrown metaphorical or otherwise 'stones' , however if you feel offended by someone pointing out your 'spanking' then I am truly sorry there was no malice intent ,merely an observation.

Thank you for you Swift reply Wicro.
We were talking about being drowned at birth not the others, but yes they are harsh words to use, but to be honest at times these are the only words that people like that will understand, they would have just brushed them off, thought of me with all the names under the sun, laughed and then moved on, as they say words are cheap.
I could have worded it better, but don't and didn't see the point, I'm just sick of teens these days, whom draw pleasure from seeing others suffer, kids that think it is big and cleaver to humiliate and ridicule another to the point that they do go and take their own lives, it's happening more and more in the UK nowadays, and you have to stop and ask your self, where have we gone wrong? where is the compassion for others gone? I hear names like Freak, Emo, Mosher so on and so on, there was never this when I was in school, yes we had different groups, Punks, Mods, Skin heads and a few others, but none of what kids say and speak like today, in my day it was a good old fight and then you put your differences behind you, made friends and moved on, nowadays kids are more likely to get arrested or thrown out of school for fighting, then plot and more than likely stab or shoot the other.
I just don't know where this world is heading and I find that worrying.

And thank you for a far more reasoned response Royou. Your concerns are truly noted, however I feel they may be slightly unjustified. Every generation has had similar concerns (At least with the invention of 'childhood' see the works of Areis for why this is problematic). The days of having a 'good old fight' are consigned to the past (and some would argue this a good thing,for the weaker in society), but still the vast majority of people in my experience are reasonably well adjusted individuals, don't be so quick to condemn on a very slight minority that is over-hyped in the media.
Please don't take this the wrong way but I feel a reasoned response is a far better way to deal with something you feel is obnoxious or offensive if you are going to take a 'moral high ground' (what ever that is). The post you got so upset responded to was in my humble opinion, less offensive than your response (hence why i felt the need to intraject, which I would not normally). I realise this is subjective, but I think my main points are valid if you are truly offended.
this kid made a stupid choice and he is paying for it. and rightfully so. and to suicide? i think its a selfish act, but i have no sympathy for anyone who commits suicide, i say let them, free up some air and resources for the rest of us who go on living our lives functionally.
i think attempted suicide should only be punishable only if u don't go through with it, then you should be arrested and put in a rubber room. attempting suicide and not going through with it fully, is like crying wolf. waste everyone's time, with cops/medics coming to help you. if you go through with it, they only need to tag and bag you.
trust me, suicide is always an option lol. i call it thinning the herd.

So you would have no sympathy for a rape victim who wanted to commit suicide? I am getting the feeling like you never had to live with something that was hard to live with. Not saying that suicide is right, but you can at least have some fucking sympathy.

now ur just grasping at straws and brushing with a wide stroke. i feel sorry for a rape victim, that much is true. but suicide, nope. sorry, call me heartless, i call myself a realist.

this kid made a stupid choice and he is paying for it. and rightfully so. and to suicide? i think its a selfish act, but i have no sympathy for anyone who commits suicide, i say let them, free up some air and resources for the rest of us who go on living our lives functionally. i think attempted suicide should only be punishable only if u don't go through with it, then you should be arrested and put in a rubber room. attempting suicide and not going through with it fully, is like crying wolf. waste everyone's time, with cops/medics coming to help you. if you go through with it, they only need to tag and bag you.
trust me, suicide is always an option lol. i call it thinning the herd.
So you would have no sympathy for a rape victim who wanted to commit suicide? I am getting the feeling like you never had to live with something that was hard to live with. Not saying that suicide is right, but you can at least have some fucking sympathy.
now ur just grasping at straws and brushing with a wide stroke. i feel sorry for a rape victim, that much is true. but suicide, nope. sorry, call me heartless, i call myself a realist.

Well you have a good point there with the giving up part, but I would still have sympathy no matter what.

That's not really hardship, what you experienced. I don't think you have an idea what drives a person to commit suicide, I base that on what you call hardship above.
But I doubt it would help to try and explain it, because I don't think you want to learn. It is always easier to simply be stuck with one way of thinking. You see, trying to understand other people and be sympathetic is the difficult thing to do. To just brush them off as giving up is the easy thing to do :P
What the above poster described as hardship is a physical thing, something one can act on and do something about. That is easy, when we humans can act, we live. Problems we can act on and do something about are the ones we can live with.
It's the problems we can't do anything about, those we can't act on, it's those that can sometimes drive people to commit suicide. That or mental illness like depression, bipolarity etc.
either way you slice it, suicide is an act i have no sympathy for. alot of people commit suicide for stupid, selfish reasons. some yeah, could be attributed to mental illness, that I have no problems with, as they are not "wired" properly in the brain.
but you would be surprised how many people commit suicide for selfish, retarded reasons, their bf or gf left them, they think everyone is against them, or people are conspiring to bring them down, or something so ridiculous you think, what is going on in their head that they are doing this? I feel if you cant seek help, or not willing to seek help, you know what the end result is going to be here is the razor, you got 5 minutes. alot of people balk suicide for attention. their way of crying out for help. or seeking attention "me me me" attitude. but in the end for me as far as im concerned its nothing more than a selfish act of quiting on life. I wont stop a person from commiting suicide.
they have set on a path to take themselves out, its their final attempt at regaining control of their own problem by solving it for good. who am i to stop them? this who legality BS about oh they shouldnt be able to commit suicide? I say let them. I am going to live my life irregardless if they slit their wrists or not.
and the BS I went thru isnt hardship? how convenient. but timmy, or sally going through emotional strife rebeling against the norm is?

i make no apologies at all for being a heartless bastard when i say:
Suicide = evolution in action, survival of the mentally Fit.
Suicide is a naturally occurring phenomenon among humankind that rids the species of mentally defective people, the kind of people we want LESS of as a species.
Normal, mentally strong healthy people (the kind we want MORE of as a species) don't commit suicide.
edit: oh btw the reason Blizzard has such policies and did what it did was to cover it's ass financially so it wouldn't get SUED, not because it was so compassionate and concerned with the mental welfare of one of it's customers.

This kid needs a swift backhand, bet he never got a spankin in there whole life, my kids are 7 and know better than to joke about suicide especially to try to rob something, liberal fucktards saying spankings are bad, sometimes kids need a good old fashioned spanking otherwise they grow up to be spoiled little whiney self centered jerks who do shit like this dipshit did.
playing eq2 and two worlds
Because it said that he was not really suicidal; he told the police it was a joke. Either way, attempting suicide is illegal and warrants arrest if you do not need immediate medical attention. Then you will probably end up with some inpatient hospital time.
If someone says they are going to kill their neighbor, and the police show up and they say " it was a joke" do you think the police are just going to walk away?
The reason threatening suicide is a crime is because of false alarms. If a credible person says they are going to commit suicide, you do not want a first responder (police/emt) not taking it seriously. it's the same reason why pulling a fire alarm is a crime even if you never planned on starting a fire. You don't want there to be so many false alarms that first responders stop showing up or get complacent.
Also, just because he was 'arrested' does not mean he didn't get a psych evaluation. They put you in handcuffs so you can't hurt yourself, they process you through the police station, but then they will call in a shrink to evaluate if the threat was real. If the threat was real, more than likely the charges would be dropped and the kid would get help, if the kid was 'joking' then he'll probably be charged (ironic, no?).
In any event, Blizzard did the right thing. Not only from a humanistic standpoint, but also from a legal standpoint. If they hadn't had responded, the parents would have sued them had they found out.
Good call Babysitter/GM!
He/she did the right thing to call 911 for this kid.

You are entitled to your opinions as I am and others are ours, but to say you laugh at others pain and miss-fortune shows the fibber and calibre of your characters, let me just say, that if you were a member of my family and I could see that you would end up as you are now, then I'd have drowned you at birth, you should both be ashamed of yourselves, people like you don't deserve to live and make me sick, and by your comments have shown everybody the cowards and bullies that you are, I laugh at you both and your sad life's.

You might not be ashamed of wanting people too 'drown people at birth' and calling people a 'parasite and a low life' but I certainly would. Can't you articulate your frustrations without resorting to such baseness? And if you want people to treat your comments with slightly more respect try not to resort to such behaviour and I'm sure it could illicit a more positive response.

This is ridiculous.
It is really pothetic that a kid will go to such lengths to fake being sucidal. Especially for the purpose of trying to get something out of it. Honestly, I think that being arrested was for the best for this kid. But at the same time, it is ludicrous that the GMs have to play the role of "babysitters" or "guardians" of these kids today.
Where are the parents and what the hell are they doing? They need to be spending more time with their kids, and perhaps making them give World of Warcraft a break for awhile and use that $15 a month they are paying towards something else better for their kids. Maybe then, situations such as this one, may be avoided through out the future.

Hmm now I'm going to hazard a guess here, you're not from the UK, otherwise you'd have understood the Irony of that comment, very similar to a comment I remember my mother saying to a younger brother of mine, many years ago, when a good slap never hurt anybody and you would not be charged with child abuse for administering it either. My brother had made some nasty comments about a disabled girl that lived in our street, and he was told by my mother that if she had known as we were going up, that he would grow up to be a spiteful and wilful as of the comments, then she would have slapped it out of him as a child, which is something that this 17 year old may have missed as a child, perhaps if he had been taught this lesson in life he would have not claimed what he did, but that is something we will never know.
But give yourself a pat on the back for spotting it, it's good to see that it's not mainly just kids that read these boards,

Now I've read and re-read my post, and at no point do I claim to be a saint, so either I'm going blind or you're seeing what you want to see.
Just to educate you dear boy, the term " I'd have drowned you at birth " is a figure of speech, and does not literally mean that I would have drowned them at birth, it basically means that they would have gotten a darn good spanking, and no not at birth, so it is you that have misinterpreted myself not visa versa, and again I say that I have never done anything that I am ashamed of, there is an old adage that I believe would be fitting here.
" Sticks and stones my break my bones, but names will never hurt me "
Now speaking of claiming to be a saint, I really would advise you to go back and read your overly holier than thou patronising post again, and see whom is claiming to be the saint, I'd try a few times if I were you, with any luck then you may get it, though I doubt that. (That's sarcasm old boy, you do know what that is don't you?)
LOL now that's a good idea, would teach him a very good lesson, and take the object of his obsession away from him, cos lets face it, to sink so low, he had to be obsessed with WOW.
Thanks for the reply, Royou
I suppose statements such as 'you don't deserve to live' and 'i laugh at you and your sad life' were both misinterpreted by me, I obviously don't come from a culture where these statements are equal to 'a good spanking' please forgive my ignorance. (its certainly not how I would talk to my kids)
Again I was merely pointing out that these kind of statements, in my opinion, seemed to be slightly over the top. If your going to be so indigent over another's post , then the use of approaite language would seem to be in order. I would not use this type of statements, therefore I questioned your statement of ' never being ashamed' that was all. As far as I'm aware I have not thrown metaphorical or otherwise 'stones' , however if you feel offended by someone pointing out your 'spanking' then I am truly sorry there was no malice intent ,merely an observation.
regards
Thank you for you Swift reply Wicro.
We were talking about being drowned at birth not the others, but yes they are harsh words to use, but to be honest at times these are the only words that people like that will understand, they would have just brushed them off, thought of me with all the names under the sun, laughed and then moved on, as they say words are cheap.
I could have worded it better, but don't and didn't see the point, I'm just sick of teens these days, whom draw pleasure from seeing others suffer, kids that think it is big and cleaver to humiliate and ridicule another to the point that they do go and take their own lives, it's happening more and more in the UK nowadays, and you have to stop and ask your self, where have we gone wrong? where is the compassion for others gone? I hear names like Freak, Emo, Mosher so on and so on, there was never this when I was in school, yes we had different groups, Punks, Mods, Skin heads and a few others, but none of what kids say and speak like today, in my day it was a good old fight and then you put your differences behind you, made friends and moved on, nowadays kids are more likely to get arrested or thrown out of school for fighting, then plot and more than likely stab or shoot the other.
I just don't know where this world is heading and I find that worrying.

And thank you for a far more reasoned response Royou. Your concerns are truly noted, however I feel they may be slightly unjustified. Every generation has had similar concerns (At least with the invention of 'childhood' see the works of Areis for why this is problematic). The days of having a 'good old fight' are consigned to the past (and some would argue this a good thing,for the weaker in society), but still the vast majority of people in my experience are reasonably well adjusted individuals, don't be so quick to condemn on a very slight minority that is over-hyped in the media.
Please don't take this the wrong way but I feel a reasoned response is a far better way to deal with something you feel is obnoxious or offensive if you are going to take a 'moral high ground' (what ever that is). The post you got so upset responded to was in my humble opinion, less offensive than your response (hence why i felt the need to intraject, which I would not normally). I realise this is subjective, but I think my main points are valid if you are truly offended.

this kid made a stupid choice and he is paying for it. and rightfully so. and to suicide? i think its a selfish act, but i have no sympathy for anyone who commits suicide, i say let them, free up some air and resources for the rest of us who go on living our lives functionally.
i think attempted suicide should only be punishable only if u don't go through with it, then you should be arrested and put in a rubber room. attempting suicide and not going through with it fully, is like crying wolf. waste everyone's time, with cops/medics coming to help you. if you go through with it, they only need to tag and bag you.
trust me, suicide is always an option lol. i call it thinning the herd.

So you would have no sympathy for a rape victim who wanted to commit suicide? I am getting the feeling like you never had to live with something that was hard to live with. Not saying that suicide is right, but you can at least have some fucking sympathy.

now ur just grasping at straws and brushing with a wide stroke. i feel sorry for a rape victim, that much is true. but suicide, nope. sorry, call me heartless, i call myself a realist. SUICIDE=giving up. as far as living with something hard? ive lived with hardship, didnt have employment for over 5 months, so broke i had barely anything to eat. got evicted. but i dindt quit. i picked myself up, and kept going forward. now i got a good job.

Well you have a good point there with the giving up part, but I would still have sympathy no matter what.

That's not really hardship, what you experienced. I don't think you have an idea what drives a person to commit suicide, I base that on what you call hardship above.
But I doubt it would help to try and explain it, because I don't think you want to learn. It is always easier to simply be stuck with one way of thinking. You see, trying to understand other people and be sympathetic is the difficult thing to do. To just brush them off as giving up is the easy thing to do :P
What the above poster described as hardship is a physical thing, something one can act on and do something about. That is easy, when we humans can act, we live. Problems we can act on and do something about are the ones we can live with.
It's the problems we can't do anything about, those we can't act on, it's those that can sometimes drive people to commit suicide. That or mental illness like depression, bipolarity etc.
either way you slice it, suicide is an act i have no sympathy for. alot of people commit suicide for stupid, selfish reasons. some yeah, could be attributed to mental illness, that I have no problems with, as they are not "wired" properly in the brain.
but you would be surprised how many people commit suicide for selfish, retarded reasons, their bf or gf left them, they think everyone is against them, or people are conspiring to bring them down, or something so ridiculous you think, what is going on in their head that they are doing this? I feel if you cant seek help, or not willing to seek help, you know what the end result is going to be here is the razor, you got 5 minutes. alot of people balk suicide for attention. their way of crying out for help. or seeking attention "me me me" attitude. but in the end for me as far as im concerned its nothing more than a selfish act of quiting on life. I wont stop a person from commiting suicide.
they have set on a path to take themselves out, its their final attempt at regaining control of their own problem by solving it for good. who am i to stop them? this who legality BS about oh they shouldnt be able to commit suicide? I say let them. I am going to live my life irregardless if they slit their wrists or not.
and the BS I went thru isnt hardship? how convenient. but timmy, or sally going through emotional strife rebeling against the norm is?

i make no apologies at all for being a heartless bastard when i say:
Suicide = evolution in action, survival of the mentally Fit.
Suicide is a naturally occurring phenomenon among humankind that rids the species of mentally defective people, the kind of people we want LESS of as a species.
Normal, mentally strong healthy people (the kind we want MORE of as a species) don't commit suicide.
edit: oh btw the reason Blizzard has such policies and did what it did was to cover it's ass financially so it wouldn't get SUED, not because it was so compassionate and concerned with the mental welfare of one of it's customers.
