Discussion:
SJW speech police now targetting the use of 'committed suicide'

The SJWs have been criticising the papers for saying that a chef I haven't
heard of 'committed suicide' saying they should write 'died by suicide'
instead. I had not heard of such an odd objection and my research uncovered
this:

http://www.suicide.org/stop-saying-committed-suicide.html

Apparently, 'criminals commit crimes' so you're not supposed to use the word
'commit' in the context of dispatching one's self.

On the same basis, perhaps we should expect that people should not commit to
one another in matrimony and that developers should not commit their code
changes.

I hope everyone reading this will commit it to memory.

Meaning 6 "to do; perform; perpetrate:" is indeed used pejoratively.

As there is clearly nothing wrong with suicide in today's world, I
suggest you commit sodomy off.

So the SJWs are saying suicide is a perfectly good form of self-expression and
we are not to think ill of it.

Yes that is the way I read it.

Surprising really, the last funeral I went to was a suicide and a lot of
people were saying how pissed off they were that the guy had killed himself.

It does cause a lot of anger, in part because people find it extremely hard to
accept what happened. I suspect part of it can be a deflection of the blame
they feel for themselves.

Dunno?

Recent divorce meant he would have to sell his home, Failure of a recent
business venture, young girlfriend trying to extort money from him,
didn't like getting old. Maybe all four.

Women put him in a situation where he'd rather be dead, and "a lot of
people" were pissed off with him? Would these "a lot of people" be women?

It's not a healthy thing, but then those who attempt/die by suicide are
mentally ill or troubled and don't need people acting as though they
are/were criminals. People who are suicidal need support not moral
judgements on the wrongs of suicide.

I don't believe that referring to the act as committing suicide is treating
them as criminals.

Point taken. I would tend to agree with you it's a little over the top
re the use of language(and I'm probably more of an SJW than most here) .
To take another example would one really criticise a teacher for saying
"The student committed himself to passing his exams" ?

What they need is whatever will dissuade them from killing themselves.
Ask them if they have a religious faith and whether they think their
proposed action is consistent with those beliefs. And what might be more
effective is to remind them of any friends or relatives whose lives will
be ruined if they kill themeselves. Suicidal people often say "my
mother/wife/child will be better off without me" and this lazy, selfish
thinking needs to be challenged gently but firmly.

But suicide is illegal, so it does fit.

I prefer "committed suicide" to "took his own life" which always strikes
me as an ugly euphemism. Took it? From whom or where?

In Danish, it is called 'selvmord' - self-murder.

Until 1961, except for Scotland, suicide was a crime in the UK.
Wikipedia says:
"Suicide is defined as the act of intentionally ending one's own life.
Before the Suicide Act 1961, it was a crime to commit suicide, and
anyone who attempted and failed could be prosecuted and imprisoned,
while the families of those who succeeded could also potentially be
prosecuted."

Anyone doing it (successful or not) was (in common parlance) "committing
a crime".

SJW may be banging this drum but there are valid reasons not to use it.
I work with vulnerable people and recently completed a Mental Heath
first aid course that includes a lot of suicide talk-down and discussion
with a person in suicide crisis.
Using the term 'commit suicide' may worsen the situation due to the
mental connection of commit with crime and sin and unless you know the
person and their background with religion, crime etc it is much better
to avoid the term altogether.

We are supposed to avoid all talk of religion and using shame "eg think
of your wife and kids if you do this" as this can also send a person in
crisis over the edge

Trying to stop the use of the term 'commit suicide' is valid but
preventing the use of commit code changes or commit to a project is just
silly.
Sadly there are SJW who will see the word 'commit' as the problem and
not the underlying shame that some will feel about 'committing suicide'.

I disagree. When I was a Samaritan volunteer many years ago, there was
certainly an emphasis on not trying to offer specific advice and not
peddling one's own religious views. But reminding a person of the effect
suicide will have on their family cannot be a bad thing and I'm sure it
helped in at least one case I dealt with. The person had already
mentioned that he had children. I asked "how would you like to be
remembered". He agreed that this was something he hadn't really thought
about.

If the family relationships are badly fractured, then perhaps there's
not much to live for.

every person is different...and that includes those faced
with people threatening to kill themselves
not just those *threatening* self destruction...

some even have plausible reasons...

Anyone considering suicide has for bigger problems than the trivial one
of describing the act!
