Major depression can be severely genetically influenced. Part of the thing that worries me about modern society is we medicate and treat people that darwinism says should be allowed to be culled. It's troublesome, but I don't want to be a cold b*****d about it. I would try to stop an individual from killing themselves. But on the whole, I see suicide as a necessary corrective force of nature.

I'm thinking more and more that Monty Python's Flying Circus is my favourite comedy series of all time. But the fourth season is pretty bad. Just opened season two.

Read a little more on genetics and depression. You are basing your statement on outdated Social Darwinism.

Well, I know many of me and my friends are depressed. And it all runs in our families. Yes, nature and nurture both come into play. But I'm bettign depressed parents wont produce happy children fro ma nurture perspective either. My earliest memories of my mom are her puking her guts down to 95 lbs and thinking she was hideously fat.

No, eugenics would be rounding up depressed ppl and killing them. I'm jsut saying I don't think suicide rates are a problem.

That's like saying AIDS, or cancer or the flu is not a problem.

I'm thinking more and more that Monty Python's Flying Circus is my favourite comedy series of all time. But the fourth season is pretty bad. Just opened season two. That might be my favourite of the first three. They started to run a bit out of steam towards the end of the third, but apart from a few sub-par bits (I never liked the bicycle episode) it was all pure gold until Cleese left. Unless you're referring to the modern painters' cycling race, I don't remember any (memorable) bicycle sketch.

Look, all I'm saying is why would you want to bring further life that is suffering? One of the hallmarks of life is that it seeks to continue itself. If it doesn't wish to, then is that even a real life. You think I wanted to be born?

Okay, if it's not the flu, then it must mean I have turned to another way of conscience. I feel like barking. I'm nearly shaking, I have a headache,
