Telling people to kill themselves

[in48092]

I don't think the saying in its self is patently offensive, however i would anticipate that there are some with close experiance with suicide who would find it so. Also i don't find it to be a particul.arily witty thing to say. That being said i still chuckle at "YSSCKY". I don't know why, but it slays me.

I don't find it funny, but also do not find it offensive.

mia: Kill yourself!

[oyesmoreofthis]

actually, it gets exponentially funnier if it is said to someone who has had someone close to them kill him/herself. observe:

"hey, andy. i accidently took a dump on your car and smeared it all over the hood and windshield last night."
"man, kill yourself."

^not funny

"hey, steve, can you get me some AA batteries when you go to the store?--here's some money."
"why dont you overdose on sleeping pills like your mom."

^ H I Y O ! ! ! !

It's funny when Bill Hicks says it in his "Marketing & Advertising" sketch.

It totally depends on the context. If you've got a guy posting something depressing and asking for advice and he's told to kill himself / scky, that's not funny/retarded.

If someone comes online Sunday morning to tell a story about his threesome last night and then ask us what we did on our Saturday nights, then a cordial request for him to kill himself is definitely in order.

In general, it's dumb/not funny, so I voted option B; however, I don't think I'd consider it "offensive."

I thought it was funny until I jokingly said it to the wrong person and they started crying. No more kill yourself jokes for me.

Someone probably already asked this, but why are "not funny" and "dumb" lumped in with "offensive."

I think you polltarded this one dude.

My dad killed himself in October. Every time I hear someone kid about killing yourself, I start thinking about my dad and can't stop. I would never say anything or act emo about it outwardly, but it is upsetting. So there is a different perspective I guess.

For this guy it would be appropriate to tell him to kill himself because it's not a joke, I really want him to die.
