Quote:Did you not see where he said "There's something horrible inside them OR they're cowards."  That implies (by any logical reasoning) that people who are suicidally depressed aren't cowards. He didn't say "AND they're cowards".  He was reasoning why people would commit the horrible act.  Unless you think suicide is something really nice to do.

 

So you're assuming that when he means depressed people he's relegating them entirely to the "something horrible inside" portion?

 

Let's go with the interpretation that requires the least amount of assumptions, as Occam's Razor would have it, and interpret what he said as directly talking about the subject he was discussing, that suicidally depressed people are (at least in some cases) cowards.

 

So, one last time, without making an assumption about what he was really talking about, why is it not okay to face rebuke for calling suicidally depressed people cowards?
