"While living in Daytona Beach, on my way to and from work I often did not stop at a sign near my house.
To friends I spoke of my "dynamic stops".

I am just wondering what other sensible people think regarding the topic of suicide being treated as a crime. It seems in our society there is no room for the open discussion of suicide as a matter of choice rather than an act of amorality against one's self, or, at the very least, a symptom of mental disease.

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Welcome, Jenntleman! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Heathen Geeks and Geek & Nerd Haven.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
On a personal note, I've developed an animated gif technique, sort of “pull quote marries slideshow”. Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me
