"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:1vECd.22965$wu4.16407@attbi_s52... If death resulting from the risks of a lifestyle is defined as self-inflicted, then anyone who dies in a plane crash committed suicide. I have relatives who wouldn't argue against that. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Or even in a car crash then... ;-) -- Dan D. http://www.ameritech.net/users/ddevillers/start.html .. |

AIDS is often a lifestyle disease, like lung cancer or cihorris of the liver, hence self-inflicted. But when you dismissed the possibility that his death was "self-inflicted", as you put it (and you subsequently affirmed that you were referring there to AIDS), you then proposed *instead* of "self-infliction" that "his diet... and his drug habit" are among the more plausible explanations (as indeed they are). By what conceivable rationale would an AIDS death be more "self-inflicted" than a diet- or drug-induced death (*especially* at a time when the danger of AIDS was *not even known*)? When pressed, you retreated to a standard of "self-infliction" by which the vast majority of Americans' deaths would qualify. Clearly, though, you ordinarily use the term far more selectively, as your original statement demonstrates. --Gary |

I don't know what the f*** you're talking about, and I am losing interest in the discussion. |
