#6 - I think that's a bit much. It's unfortunate that a lot of suicides happen in public places, but you can't hold someone who's depressed or in the grips of mental illness to the same standards the same way most of us in society do, any more than I can expect my broken Brookstone thermometer to tell the temperature accurately.

People using public transport to kill themselves really pisses me off. Do it in your own damn home, where you're not ruining the days and weeks of people you're never met. You've scarred them for life, what with your blood all over their commute and junk. Selfish bullshit.

I'm guessing a MUNI driver pushed him

Sometimes I feel sorry for those train drivers. That could put a damper on your day.

To quote House, "It's never Lupus."

IT'S NOT LUPUS, WELL MAYBE IT IS.

Linton Johnson wins the comedy award. Yes, just because he got hit by a train, don't mean the train killed him, it could have been Lupus. What a tactless cretin. Our public servants really are a cut above.
