The guy killed himself for something greater then you. So what are you standing for anyway?

As far from as I see you're just saying a bunch of words instead of doing something meaningful like he did.

Man up or shut up.

The guy killed himself for something greater then you.

No. One thousand times, no. He killed himself because he wasn't emotionally equipped to handle the situation he was in. That's why anybody does it.

What he thought he was doing when he did what got him in trouble is a separate argument. Acting like his death at his own hand somehow validates his cause -- or relates to it at all -- is only going to lead more people to senselessly "man up" by making the single biggest mistake a person can ever make.

"That's why anybody does it."

No, it's not. In this case, it's true but to say that it's why anybody does it is wrong. Many people throughout history killed themselves for a cause.

This is sexist. That's why you lose.
