I would defend to the end your right to do what you
want with your life.

Sadly it is not those who kill themselves that is
the
problem, it is

The 'friends' left behind....

The relatives....

...the thieving grasping lawyers....

[H]ave a thought for the others....

If you want to kill yourself go out quietly and shoot
yourself....

Which would, of course, solve _none_ of the so-called
'problems' you listed
above.

You would 'defend to the death' my right to -- what?
Live so that you and
others are never inconvienienced?

I know we can't expect your ilk to understand that
it is that kind of
thinking that has got the world where it is today,
but a little less
hypocrisy would be nice.

Dear Jack 2

I am sorry you think my post was being hypocritical.
Why I do not know as I do not believe I know you or
you me so how can you describe my ILK.

Early this year I spent some time with a keen gliderpilot,
who is now dead. Killed in a glider crash.

The cause of his death appears to be over conifidence,
a failure to listen to what had been taught in training
and briefings and a belief he could walk on water.
Some of these qualities were identified during his
training. He also had the ability to fly very well
when it came to checks flights. So the system allowed
him to continue.

His death 'gliding' was avoidable.

Maybe I should have stopped him gliding....... But
that would have lead to criticism from people of your
ILK.

Sadly, his friends scraped his remains of the airfield.
His friends, went to funerals and memorial services.
Several of his friend have stopped gliding.

His death has caused more heartache than enough.

We are crying out for new members, his death has cost
us several members who we can ill afford to lose, himself
included.

Hypocritical B*****ks. If I can stop one more gliding
death, I will do whatever it takes. Popular or unpopular
or hypocritical.

Yes your comments got under my skin.
