the government is just lately on a witch hunt of these so called "cyber terrorists" (creative commons folks - wiki people included) because they are scared shitless that some sort of power might fall in the hands of regular citizens; which would obviously cause the destruction of this nation!! (sarcasm)
its the same reason why there is still an electoral college rather than a straight up popular vote - think about for a second.

uggggh, ok. I'm going to take a quick second to point out how ignorant YOU are.
Well first, I think it's fair for me to assume you know nothing. I mean, it's quite evident in the way you've conducted yourself in this thread.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for many functions in the brain. The most prominent effect it has is on mood. In fact, serotonin is often regarded as the "feel good" transmitter.
The receptors for serotonin in the prefrontal cortex of the brain have been shown to be lower in number in the prefrontal cortex than those NOT suffering from major depression. Not linked to suicide, but instead the likelihood to act on suicidal thoughts.
The orbitofrontal cortex (part of the brain responsible for inhibition functions) is found to be on average 32% smaller than those without major depression.
Now the point im making is not really those above, but that fact that those with major depression have physical and chemical alterations in their brain. They do not consider others, they do not have that capability as fully as we do. I know when you know nothing it's easy to believe, "oh he's just upset, he will get over it. killing himself would be so mean to everyone else". But the fact of the matter is, is that major depression is on a neuroscientific level you obviously do not grasp. If you had even the slightest comprehensive grasp of the subject, then you would never refer to it as selfish.
Please do not respond, please keep your stupidity to yourself. I feel as though my IQ drops points every time you post.
Accept your stupidity, embrace your stupidity, and recognize the need to shut the fuck up and learn before you post your ignorant bullshit.
Please and thank you.
Oh, and here are some scientific articles maybe you should read. However, there are plenty more that would further support what i have to say.

And there you go again, making assumption that are ultimately false.
I know exactly what serotonin is and what chemical reactions it is responsible for in the body. Mood, sleep, and appetite. Now you are right, how I have been conducting myself in this thread could most certainly lead you to believe that I'm "ignorant", but sadly this is the internet and you are mistaken.
I'm not going to ASSUME that you have no first or second hand experience and that you think you are more knowledgeable than me on this topic because you've taken some classes that delve into said topic, but how YOU'VE conducted yourself in this thread would suggest that.
See, someone very close to me had a serotonin deficiency which led to extremely poor sleep habits, a poor diet which caused this person to gain excessive amounts of weight, and serious depression. This led to them attempting suicide. They were not successful thank god because the damage they would have done to many other peoples lives would have been extensive. So when you say that "They do not consider others, they do not have that capability as fully as we do." I know exactly what you are talking about because I knew this person was only thinking of his/her self and that that was all they were capable of. But, having said that, in a sense it is still a very selfish act. Of course the person committing suicide will never realize that, because they can't, so I guess it is an indirect selfish act? I don't know. I DO know suicide isn't the only option. This person is now a better functioning part of society and is moving along with their life, so to say that someone couldn't move on from something like severe depression is also false.
In response to you saying saying I'm stupid and your IQ drops every time I post, I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm not going to change. You are more than welcome to make more assumptions, I get a good laugh out of them, but thats really not the way you need to handle things.
To conclude, I conducted myself poorly in this thread and may have led you to believe I know t=nothing, for that I apologize. I'm not going to apologize for what I believe however, and you can call my stupid all you want but that won't change anything. You are more than welcome to pm me if you feel there is something left to discuss but I am done with this thread and all its shenanigans.
