yeah, tent or sleeping bag

2019-03-01 22:25:02 UTC  

on the ground

2019-03-01 22:25:17 UTC  

As opposed to other forms of homelessness that involve actual beds mostly

2019-03-01 22:25:41 UTC  

That's kinda the point, though

2019-03-01 22:28:01 UTC  

There isn't necessarily anything wrong with sleeping rough. Generally though, people would want something better, though the reason they are sleeping rough is because they don't have the choice of better

2019-03-01 22:28:18 UTC  

And the situation leading up to it is bloody uncomfortable

2019-03-01 22:28:39 UTC  

So it's a men's rights issue

2019-03-01 22:28:48 UTC  

But a really complicated one

2019-03-01 22:29:00 UTC  

Same with suicide

2019-03-01 22:33:05 UTC  

Perhaps. I think eventually it will be. But MRAs are diverse. We can all agree that men have a suicide problem. I'm not so sure we can all agree on /r/sanctionedsuicide

2019-03-01 22:33:24 UTC  

We have pro-life people in the movement, and not a few of them

2019-03-01 22:33:52 UTC  

I agree with it

2019-03-01 22:33:54 UTC  

but hey

2019-03-01 22:34:14 UTC  

There's a pretty big difference between the mostly and the whole here

2019-03-01 22:34:50 UTC  

IIRC none of the other MRM issues are controversial within the MRM, with the sole possible exception of intactivism

2019-03-01 22:35:34 UTC  

And that's not anywhere near as controversial as righttodie would be. And it may be the case that most of the gender difference on this issue could end up being gotten rid of as mental health conditions for men improve.

2019-03-01 22:46:38 UTC  

I'm pro life.

2019-03-01 22:46:49 UTC  

Guess I'm anti suicide but

2019-03-01 22:47:00 UTC  

I think the state shouldn't have any say in that

2019-03-01 22:47:16 UTC  

No not religious reasons I'm agnostic

2019-03-01 22:47:49 UTC  

Not necessarily

2019-03-01 22:48:27 UTC  

I'm still against it

2019-03-01 22:48:34 UTC  

In that

2019-03-01 22:48:46 UTC  

I prefer no one become that desperate

2019-03-01 22:48:59 UTC  

And also

2019-03-01 22:49:06 UTC  

It depends on the situation to

2019-03-01 22:49:17 UTC  

If someone suicidal because they're depressed and medication might help

2019-03-01 22:49:24 UTC  

Then I can see the case for the state intervening

2019-03-01 22:49:30 UTC  

To get the individual help

2019-03-01 22:49:39 UTC  

But let's say it's not a condition that can be cured

2019-03-01 22:49:53 UTC  

Or say somebody is facing something like homelessness or a horrible disease

2019-03-01 22:50:09 UTC  

I think people have the right to commit suicide

2019-03-01 22:50:43 UTC  

In the case of their mind being temporarily out of whack yes

2019-03-01 22:51:02 UTC  

Now that doesn't mean you lock him up in an institution for ever to keep them from killing themselves

2019-03-01 22:51:59 UTC  

Not always

2019-03-01 22:55:08 UTC  

I've got mixed feelings on mental institutions. There are at least some people who are helped

2019-03-01 22:56:00 UTC  

"Over the last eight months he has learned how to move his hands from an armrest to his lap, and to blink once for ‘no’ and twice for ‘yes’. When Helen asks her son if he still wants to die, he blinks twice."

2019-03-01 22:56:12 UTC  

but lo, he's hospitalized

2019-03-01 23:08:26 UTC  

That isn't true about the firearm

2019-03-01 23:08:33 UTC  

Sorry I was in the grocery store
