losing toes/feet is the first step in a long, painful process of dying for diabetics. he was trying to save himself (and probably his family) a lot of pain.
His family are a bunch of pricks if they would be relieved to have him dead.
Glad to see that you're still not following the conversation.
seriously, Cap, you're off in the wrong direction.
Then enlighten me. . .
Oh, I'm going to "enlighten you" since you're so fucking clearly fixated in perpetuating your misunderstanding of the conversation. I'm going to make this so very clearly fucking simple that it will be impossible for you not to understand what the fuck I said, ok?
now here's what I originally said: "he was trying to save himself (and probably his family) a lot of pain."
now here's your misconception: "His family are a bunch of pricks if they would be relieved to have him dead."
*If* is being the operative word. I never said that they *were* (given that we haven't been provided with their opinion in this matter).
Don't accuse me of having trouble understanding English, if you can't understand the difference between *if* and *were*.
I ignored this because I know English isn't your first language and I figured that by the following posts made that you would figure out your error. but as you obviously haven't figured out that you're not correctly following the conversation and that you're barking up the wrong damn tree, I provide the following:
Well, excuse me for not being a mind-reader. thedoctor may be from the planet Gallifrey, thus having fantastic powers. I am not.
here's me spoonfeeding information to you in the hope that you finally get what's being said: the mentality of people who attempt/commit suicide is that they feel that they (and the world around them, including their families) would all be better off if they simply stopped existing. they feel that by ending their lives they are saving everyone involved would be spared a lot of pain and suffering. they are of course, unaware of the pain and suffering that their suicide causes in those around them. they're so fixated on the concept of ending things that they are blinded to anything and everything else around them. this is the mentality of the man who attempted to shoot himself. he *thought* he would be saving himself and his family a lot of pain, oblivious to the pain he would instead be causing and has indeed caused. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID? ARE YOU FUCKING ENLIGHTENED YET? or do I have to further explain this to you?
Thank you.
No, really. I thank you for the time and effort you have taken to explain what you *tried* to tell before, despite the obvious (mental or physical) pain it has induced on your person. I hope the use of the f-word has relieved you from feelings of aggressions. If it haven't, I recommend you follow the example of Uschie and leave these boards before they've made you even more angry and frustrated. Contrary as to what you may believe, I'm not the most ignorant or the most dogmatic or the most passive-aggressive poster here. There are far worse members. If you feel the need to save your brain and your heart from more stress, then take a break from this website.
You have made it *perfectly* clear to me what you were driving at. A pity that neither you, or thedoctor, said so from the very beginning. Instead, thedoctor and Prometheus said that once one have to amputate a body-part due to diabetes type I, it *always* mean that one will have to amputate several other body-parts. From what I've read in this thread, it was implied that this poor man was *correct* in his assessment that his life was now worthless. NO ONE HERE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HOW THE NEXT OF KIN WOULD IN FACT BE SAD OVER HIS (FORTUNATELY NOT OCCURRED) DEMISE. Or that he was wrong to think that they would be relieved.
Have a good day, sir.
