Take a moment...

As you may have heard, the talented chef, storyteller, and renown explorer Anthony Bourdain has been taken from the Earth in the most heartaching way... Found unconscious in a hotel room in Paris during a filming of a show by a fellow colleuge. Suicide is one of the most prominent cause of death in the US and takes the lives of over 38,000 Americans every year. It is incomprehensibly vital that IF YOU ARE HAVING FEELINGS OF SUICIDE OR HAVE HEARD OF SOMEONE WITH THESE FEELINGS, it is IMPORTANT to reach out for help. The people who specialize in helping you with such feelings want to help you as much as they can, they want to help you get better... They are not there to make fun or criticize you for how you look, or how you act. Do not be afraid to tell others how you feel. The more you say, the more they know, and the more they can help.

We have to stand up to Suicide.

We can’t let another wonderful and amazing life leave this Earth needlessly.

We cant let suicide win the battle.

    Yes, more people who need it would probably see it on other sites; but I don’t think he made this post just so the most amount of people see it. I think he made it just to try and give support to anyone. Even if only one person sees it and feels better; it’s still worth it. @Jetpackturtle

    @Rodrigo110 Depressingly high.
    I guess I should re-phrase what I was meaning to say then...
    I didn't mean to imply this should be deleted, I just meant that Simple Planes is not the place most people go for that kind of help and dedicated message sites would be better.

    I was talking about this post being very influential and important while yours, even though it may relate to SimplePlanes, is still less important that this. I’m just saying that this post may actually have an impact on somebody, so if it’s a little off-topic it doesn’t really matter. Remember that this site is used predominantly by teenagers, and the amount of suicidal teenagers is surprisingly high @Jetpackturtle

    Not to be negative, but this site is a gaming site where you talk about games, not personal stuff

    Don’t say that other people’s forums are off topic when they are actually making valid points that may influence someone’s life. Maybe I’d be more likely to take your opinion if you weren’t being a hypocrite@Jetpackturtle

    I agree...
    but this is too off topic man. Try Reddit or a dedicated forum site. You'll make your point much more effectively and reach a lot more people.

    I haven’t seen very many posts like this about suicide which is such a sensitive issue; I see much more posts about upcoming games! Anyway, each game is unique, and the idea of changing between cars and planes isn’t really ‘pioneering’, it’s a pretty easy idea to have. It’s just another game amidst the hundreds of other unique game releases which also have cool ideas. If you hadn’t made a post about a game maybe I would’ve understood your point of view; but you can’t critisise others if you do the same thing. @RailfanEthan

    @Rodrigo110 What I'm saying is this isn't the first time in my almost 3 years that someone has made this type of post. Not once have we lost someone to death. It's not going to change. I hate to be that one guy who seems negative and all, but this post really isn't pioneering. It's done every day on every form of social media.
    A new game coming out is limited, in pioneering, because if you can think of it, it's probably already been done and copyrighted. I ask again, how many games do you know that you can change vehicles in real time? It's pioneering in the gaming community, not for social stuff. Two different categories that can't be judged equally.

    And so a new game coming out is alright because it’s ‘pioneering’ yet a supportive message to people on SimplePlanes who may well be suicidal isn’t? @RailfanEthan

    How does it relate to SP? Well, SimplePlanes is about planes. And 1/3 of The Crew 2 is planes (planes, boats, cars). It's close ish

    @Rodrigo110 It's a pioneer in multi vehicle racing. There aren't many campaign styled racing games that allow you to race airplanes and cars.

    You’re not really qualified to talk on this topic. A random game may have aircraft in it, but that doesn’t make it relevant to SimplePlanes. @RailfanEthan

    ok
    so i do agree, suicide is useless
    butlike
    its sp
    simpleplanes
    not
    simpleforums, i guess? it just falls under the off-topic-life-related-activity kinda category, you know? i mean id be like huh in the same way if someone said "yo man my cat just ate some cat nip, and hes pretty sick brooo,"
    so i mean
    delet dis
    because its too close to social life, and a comment or two could change your (as in said person) whole status here, if said human wasn't thinking and was like "no u" or something
    but i agree with the main idea
