LMAO is this really what you do all day? Digging through years of posts to find some sort of gotcha? What even is the point? Congrats you figured out that he changed his mind on something, I guess changing your opinion in light of new information is a completely alien concept to you.
I haven't changed my opinion on the specific issue of the sodium nitrite method. I'm not a fan of it. Also, this clown (who I have blocked anyway for absolute retardation) can't seem to tell the difference between discussing suicide methods and actually directly selling someone sodium nitrite with the express purpose of assisting them in committing suicide with it.
They're two different things.
It's legal to sell sodium nitrtite.
It's legal to discuss the sodium nitrite method and how to do it, and even to list potential sources of it.
It is NOT legal to sell it for the express purpose of assisting a suicide in most jurisdictions.
And if you both sell it and advocate the method, you would be muddying the waters and potentially stepping into liability. You would have a hard time claiming you didn't know why people were buying it.
It's not a difficult distinction to understand for anyone who isn't mentally retarded.
Encouraging these people to buy NaNO2 and stock up on inert gas and other methods puts them one stupid, impulsive decision from death.
Actually the only positive I can think of for that method (other than that it is relatively accessible or at least was) is that it takes several steps to carry out which would take a considerable amount of preparation and persistence. You'd easily have hours to back out of it. Anyone who actually goes through with this method intended to.
I personally think suicide should be reserved for either terminal illness or extremely painful and incurable conditions, like refractory trigeminal neuralgia, that effectively reduce quality of life to nothing.
I'd rather see a system where anyone who actually wants to end their life can seek help without immediately being involuntarily confined, with some kind of gatekeeping to avoid someone killing themselves from some treatable mental condition, especially when it's one that itself causes delusional thinking so someone is making a bad decision because their brain isn't working.
But we don't have that. We have the terrible system we have now.
And ultimately it's up to the individual. It's not like we can actually stop someone from doing it. Or talking about it, unless forcibly shutting down suicidal people's only outlet is somehow humane and not sadistic and fascist.
And what if we did? Are we going to go to every library with a copy of Derek Humphry's Final Exit and make a big bonfire? Where does this end?
