Why don't we just let people do what they want in life?

Those who advocate for suicide, should also admit they are pathetically weak in the face of reality and are getting pwned by things they can't handle.

WOAH!!!

I have 3 questions for you:

What is reality?  Who determines what reality is?  Who are we as humans to determine that reality is something that we can spell out (i.e. are humans prone to error in their views on reality)?

Also, please don't tell me I'm pathetically weak in the face of reality, or that I'm getting pwned by things I can't handle (especially #2, since it is in no way whatsoever true).  I can't even imagine what you would have to say about me if you heard other things that I believe, because they are so against what humans are apparently "supposed" to believe.

If you are incapable of providing someone hope and getting them out of a situation where the feel it is better to off themselves, you are weak.  This is a statement of reality.  Anyhow, no one said human beings are particularly strong and not weak.  The "they" here refers to humanity, and its inability to instill hope and help people when things are really bad, due to their limitations.  Supporting suicide is being pwned by the nature of things, because you CAN'T offer people any other option, so you feel killing them is acceptable alternative, because saying alive is see as cruel and pitiful.

Well, you're completely misinterpreting what I'm saying.  I'm not saying that I can't offer people other options, nor that I am unable to.  If they indicate that they want my help, I would be more than willing to help them get out of their current situation.  What I'm saying is I'm not going to decide FOR THEM that they want my help.  If I see somebody in a very tough situation, I'm even willing to ask them if they want help, but if they say no, I'm not going to decide for them that they are wrong and help them anyways.
