What is the diagnostic test for euthanizing people who are "that far gone" and who gets to administer it? Also, how do we get around that pesky eighth amendment?
Ah, you were just trolling. My mistake.
Diagnostic test: They say batshit insane stuff, who administers: cops administer it (they have no problem doing the administering for non-white people) or they forcibly get admitted in a mental asylum.
So we should trust cops on who deserves to die now?

Nah fuck that... eat this glock
I see. What gives you the right to decide who lives and who dies?
93 pages of emails. Doesn't matter what they were about.
So if you send someone 93 pages of emails, that is worthy of a death sentence?
I mean, as someone who hates getting email, I'm gonna say 'yes'.
I know you're joking, but the reaction to something like this shouldn't be "kill the guy," it should be "get the guy the help he obviously needs." Because suggesting we execute mentally ill people takes us down a very dark path.
That joke was so obvious, mine is not?
No it was not.
Nailed it.

I'll take emails over unnecessary meetings any day though
What about comments. What's our limit there? Cuz I think I may not be around much longer...
How about 92 pages?
What if I show 100 per page and it's only 46 pages?
Pushing it.
Clever. Technically under the limit but not in the spirit that it was intended. Rules is rules, though.
Yeah, pretty much
Yes, definitely should kill mentally unwell people. /s
If you want to kill people with mental health issues, you need some help yourself. I hope you get better.
