Salam All

Bellow is an appeal for help for a young man (who I know through a friend), he needs an immediate kidney transplant, it is a deserving man, worth of our charity deeds, I would appreciate help from any friend in any shape or form.

To help in an orderly way, whatever you wish to do directly or indirectly please keep me informed.

My nephew Muhammad Azeem about 30-years old is suffering from both kidney failures. He is under treatment in Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, Bed 15, Medical Ward 2. Dialysis has been done and Doctors suggested immediate kidney transplant, from a blood relatives or from any donors.

Patient's mother has agreed to donate to save the life of her first and beloved child, procedural tests have completed and doctors agreed, but all this exercise involves intimately Rs 200,000 to 250,000, which they can not afford. The family is very poor; their monthly income is about Rs 7000. His helpless parents said me yesterday that we know our son is passing day by day but we can not do anything except DUA.

So, in the circumstances, you are hereby begged to please do something to save the life of a father of 4-childrens. I do not know how you would like to help, but whatever method you adopt will be highly appreciated. You don't have to give cash, instead, Please please please arrange for his kidney transplant by whatever way possible. MAY GOD GIVE YOU AJR FOR THIS.

Re: Take Action: Stop The Hate! Send A No More Suicides Letter to President Obama and Congress

Brucie may not be smart enough to figure out that there are gay Jews, and Muslims, and Quakers, and blacks, and Asians etc etc. There are even gay Republicans and Libertarians.

Some of them are indeed harmed, tortured and driven into depression and suicide by intolerant homophobic bullies. Even by gay closet cases who are the worst bullies of all.

Hatred must be eradicated, wherever it exists.

On 10/5/10, Bruce Majors <majors.bruce@gmail.com> wrote:

Unless Mark has a homosexual child he has a strained relationship with I doubt he is causing these problems.

Most Jews, and Moslems, and Quakers, and blacks, and Asians etc etc do not commit suicide, even if many people in their general society dislike them. Because they all at least have the support of their own family.

Tommy may not be smart enough to figure out that his own "liberal" Demwits are a main reason gays kill themselves. Public schools that everyone is forced to go to are where most gays kids are bullied and called names and have to hide their identities cause suicide. Parents of gay kids can't do anything about sending them to other more supportive schools since independent schools are almost outlawed de facto.

In addition, Democratic gays and lesbians like Hillary Rosen and Al Gore's campaign manager Donna Brazille are on TV all the time pretending to be straight so they can get more votes for Democrats. Brazille even went into some borderline porn this summer on how Gov. Perry makes her coochie moist on ABC's "This Week," though everyone I know in DC knows the women she has dated. So your gay political leaders who act ashamed of their sexual orientation are a major cause of the problem.

Maybe if you committed suicide by strapping on a bomb and going to one of your gay Democratic step 'n' fetchit meetings you would take out enough of your fellow bitches to reduce the gay teen suicide rates.

Again, to drive him over the edge he must have been doing something that he found so personally, morally or socially repugnant/unacceptable... for whatever reason and this is and was his OWN problem.

Depression is something more that a purely "psychological"
condition... it's "social", too. This young person suicide victim was
doing well enough until he was harassed (at least twice, apparently)
by his room-mate. The "victim" was definitely the "recipient" of the
act of being video-recorded in his sex acts (without his knowledge or
consent, against his will) anfd then having those video-recordings
broadcast to the public. This is a two part question of "psychology"
the psychology of the room-mate (as agent/patient) who performed the
act and the the psychology of the Victim (as patient/recipient)
first.. turned (as agent patient) into the performer of his own act of
suicide.

ROOM-MATE
I hate homos / want them dead....I tolerate homos / they can live
C(BAD)..........R(BAD)....
I hate homos / they can live..........I tolerate homos / want them
dead

VICTIM
love oneself / live.... hate oneself / suicide
C(GOOD).......R(GOOD)....
love oneself / suicide... hate oneself / live

ROOM-MATE
Harass / Peep&Shame......Respect / Honor Privacy
C(BAD)....R(BAD)....
Harass / Honor Privacy......Respect / Peep&Shame

VICTIM
hate oneself / suicide......love oneself / live
C(BAD) .......R(BAD)......
hateoneself / live............love oneself / suicide

Basically, the VICTIM, after the "motivated act" of the ROOMMATE took
on the Sentiment (hate) and the intent (public shame) of the act that
was performed against him and acted as the ROOM-MATE "wanted" him
to.... he was "impresssionable", or appalled by the "cruelty" of
someone who could have (should have) been a "friend' (strictly that)
and decided to give the ROOM-MATE what he desired...... personally, my
moral compass (and sense of justice) tells me that he should have
killed the ROOM-MATE, instead.

Tommy, No.

Depression and or the propensity for it definitely varies person to person with EVERYONE being different and having their own limits. Only those with one foot on the ledge can be shoved over.

Your twisted pretzel logic does not pass muster.

You fail to see that depression is often triggered by the acts of others, such as bullies and abusive homophobic taunters.

Suicide is caused by many factors.

Hatred, bullies, and bigotry are also caused by many factors.

SUICIDE, n. [L. suicidium; se and coedo, to slay.]
1. Self-murder; the act of designedly destroying one's own life.

By definition, one cannot cause someone else to commit "self-murder." If someone else can be factually proven to be at fault, then that individual would be guilty of murder.

Has the individual who took the video been arrested for murder? If not, you are jousting at windmills.

Ignorant homophobes like you cause these suicides.

No Tommy, it is not. The urge to destroy oneself is as ancient as life itself. There are so very many reasons people do this to themselves, both real and unreal reasons. There is however ONE reason ALL suicides do this.... they are too weak to cope and that, Sir, is a personal problem. It is NOT societal, and NOT something that can be legislated that causes me to lose the freedom to ask if someone is Gay or Lesbian (for whatever reason) or to call someone a flaming Queen if they are acting like one.

Your ugly negativity and snarky spin is most perverse.

One suicide is one too many.

No man is an island

No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

-John Donne

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,

He must have had a really poor self image... short of that nothing could "Make" him commit suicide. Suicide IS against the law, isn't it ??

So you are basically saying "Mommy, Mommy, he made me do it !!"

Not much of a defense when prejudice of one kind or another exists in EVERY walk of life.

This is not one isolated incident. The problem of homophobia is societal and must be eradicated.

This week , I heard about 3 – THREE – other young gay men murdered by homophobia in America.

I think the issue here is that someone shot and distributed the images
against the suicide victim's will....
Plus, the victim was relatively young... eighteen....Gay or not....
that's a lot for a young person to handle.....
