Americans do tend to butcher languages, especially English.

I quite agree, us Americans can butcher the english language. The English can do a bad job of it too. Right Sleep????

Speaking for Death, fable replies: Listen, you toss monkeys! You've been given a perfect opportunity to have
all your questions about death answered, and all you can do is hang around arguing with one another about a single, simple German sentence? Is it any wonder I try to get rid of you lot most quickly after you finally pass on? Gah, it's like being forced to watch every episode of Beevis and Butthead in an endless loop! When I agreed to take this job, I never knew humanity was going to prove to be the biggest lot of dullards in the universe! I should have done what my mother suggested, and become a nice, safe celestial mechanic. But
noooooo, I had to listen to that interstellar recruiter. Become Death, he said. Have everything pass through your hands, he said. Big responsibilities and they all bow before you, he said. Bah. Bah!
Um, sorry for the above, but that's what Death wanted me to convey.

I'm sorry fable -san but you have just lied. Death didn't say that and you know it. He said ,and I quote, "Piss off the lot of you. I want to watch Nikki Knockers Does Paris, and you lot can just go play with your knackers." I was there, Fable, with my screwdrivewr drilling holes in the walls listening to the pair of you babbling about German Frau bust size.

OMG what is happening on this board?

I try not to think about it. If your lucky you get hit by a bus and you won't even know it happened
How can you say this? You know the buses in London are ALWAYS late, then they come in threes giving you no space to change your mind...

Well KK. We aren't your parents so we can't tell you what to do, but if you want to kil yourself go ahead. I can't change your mind
My God Thorin - can't you take it easy? What is eating you? I have seen little but flames from you lately - this kind is not kind.

We provide entertainment for like minded individuals to chat about what is on their minds that does not mean that we dictate to anyone about how they should feel about anything. In fact no one should ever take the advice of a faceless and anonymous person on anything (IMO)
Hear Hear!
@KK - Please take it easy - take a step back and evaluate.
On a serious note I have been there first hand when a very close (and melodramatic) family member threatened so many times. I have found her, countless times, unconcious and surrounded by alcohol and spilt pills - wondering how many she had taken this time. Ironically when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer she changed her mind about dying. She died at 44, within 4 months of diagnosis, leaving two minors (who now need counselling) to be brought up by family....
I am not saying suicidal people are melodramatic - I am stating that they will affect someone by their selfishness...
On a lighter note, has anyone read Mort by Terry Pratchet? If not - give it a go.

It's part of my 'education'
it is the second book in the Sandman series and there is a charcter in there that applied well to this situation.

I am a recent convert, read Stardust ages back, but haven't seen any of his books in stores until recently
Do you remember that character that morpheus meets in the bar? The one who eventually becomes his friend?

Indeed, he just decides one day that death is not for him, so him and morpheus meet in the same bar every hundred years.
