Down upon their heads

My most recent faith struggle is not one of intellect. I don't really do that anymore. Sooner or later you just figure out there are some guys who don't believe in God and they can prove He doesn't exist, and some other guys who can prove He does exist, and the argument stopped being about God a long time ago and now it's about who is smarter, and honestly, I don't care. ~ Don Miller Blue Like Jazz

Undisclosed - AgnosticI don't think so. I think that people in a chat room have no idea whether someone is just joking and being a retard (especially teens) OR serious about something.Dee Dee Warren:

Even in real life, as a trained professional, I am constantly amazed by the presenting of suicidal thoughts/gesture/threats to get attention or to work the system.
Of course, I treat all talk of suicide seriously, just in case. But I see no reason why untrained chatters in cyberspace should have known that the young man wasn't just a Troll looking for attention.

Male - ChristianIf no one is there to remind us, it seems like many of us forget we are human. It is very disturbing. I feel sorry for the man wwho committed suicide. He must have been very very lost.

He doesn't give a damn,
I wish i was a moron,

Undisclosed - AgnosticEven the web cam is not a sure bet in this age. The guy could've been taking sugar pills and acting like he was being "hardcore."Dee Dee Warren:

It's sad. I defineately, as a trained professional would have reacted to the talk and behavior immediately.. I am just not convinced that the people online with him can be held responsible in the culture WE have created.
My opinion of course...
