She is a complete [BAD WORD REMOVED]...that still doesn't make it her fault that the guy killed himself.

 

I said it's a statistical probability (which it is). I never stated that she was anything (except not helping the situation - which is true regardless of whether or not she knew he was mentally unstable) because of it. Just that she was a [BAD WORD REMOVED] because she treated him like crap. I've also NEVER SAID THAT IT IS HER FAULT. What part of that do you not understand? Not helping the situation != her fault.

 

 

Quote:And I disagree.  How is she to know what's going to set him off?  Even assuming she saw him needing help, that he went shopping with her for 5 hours seems to suggest that he wasn't going to kill himself over going to one more store.  


It's reasonable to want to go home.  It's also reasonable to expect someone to decide to go home instead of kill themselves when they are angry.

 

Fair enough. That said, I still stick to the fact that she didn't help the situation (my disagreement was based on the premise that she knew, which was based on your paragraph about getting him help and was isolated to that premise) which has been my argument through this whole thread.
