The meaning of life is to gain as much pleasure and satisfaction as you can up to the point at which you would infringe upon the ability of others to do likewise.

To write an honest reply is tricky. Of course I hate ads, I used AdBlock, I don't see them, I don't click on them. But therefore I'm denying profit to the sites I visit. Though not illegal, it's a behavior akin to file sharing. Then again, I would never pay for webcontent. So I can imagine a...

1. Got paid for my last hit. 2. Got a shiny new pistol for my next hit. 3. Took a beautiful walk as I scouted my position. 4. Located the target in no time at all. 5. Boom, headshot. (6.) Disposed of weapon, and home by dinner. /'twas a good day

Heh, I had existential depression like mad. You know what cures it? Ulcerative colitis [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcerative_colitis]

Nah, Lullabye here has it down. He's has come to show us the opposite end of the spectrum; get your coping skill and stick with it. Even if your coping skill does cause you to hate your fellow man... well whateva gets you through the night (is alright). Suicide avoidance tip 6: get a fucking...

I just realized you should retitle this thread: Do you believe in moral relativism? Or even better: "Moral Relativism; what does it mean to you?" But few will appreciate the irony there.

I'll call you when OP delivers my spaceship. (Unless you get yours first, in which case you better call me)

Nah, even if space is totally boring, I'd go check it out. And I'm not afraid of dying. And I find dark voids comforting. Plus, no matter how much cool stuff there is on earth, I'll need the means ($, transport, passports, bribes to corrupt border patrol agents, etc.) to go see it all. And...

I'd be damned amused if anyone I ever met online TRUSTED ME enough to just drop by and say hello. I think they'd be more naive than me by default, so of course I'd let them in. Hell, crash on the couch for all I care.

It's too complicated. Ask me if I would kill these kids with my bare hands for the money, and then I'd have an answer for you.

perfect example. go plug your variables into my equation and find out why you're alive and he's dead

Oh and also, there can never be a cohesive moral argument for or against suicide. Having looked over the thread more, I see too much arguing over whether it is a right or wrong or stupid or smart or whatever choice. It depends on the person, the cards you were dealt, and your own ability to...

incidentally, pain tolerance is ranked inversely here. that is, high pain tolerance is a low value, and low pain tolerance is a high value.

Ok, so here's the short and serious answer: the worth of life is the sum of pleasures and sufferings we get. if the sum is negative we suffer enough that we want to die. BUT there is also an individual level of tolerance for pain (ie. some people can't handle a papercut as well as others can...

I was jumping from a United Airlines flight over mid-Pennsylvania, finger tensed over the chute release cord, one eye on my wristwatch, praying to God that cell-phone coverage would work once I landed, and --through it all-- wondering how the hell things had gotten so damn out-of-hand. (PS...
