“And We Thank God For The Train That Hit Him”: 45 Things People Overheard At Funerals

Exactly. Besides, self harm is something else already. Not all people that self harm are trying to die... Most aren't probably.

Honestly suicide would be less triggering. I'm a train driver and sadly suicides is not unexpected in my line of work. But if I see the word suicide I can brace myself for the eventuality of it involving a train, but self harm really doesn't sound like being hit by a train.

Please, everyone: REPORT this post and ask them to stop this ridiculous redaction. Tabooing suicide instead of educating about it only kills more people in the long run.

Coming from healthcare, we actually don't really use the term "committed" suicide anymore either, because it has the connotation that they committed a crime or a sin. And maybe some people view it that way still, but we'd prefer a term like "passed away from suicide." Kinda hilarious to me that BP censors the word we still use but not the word we're trying to get away from.

This week I read a post where the word "class" was censored. At gray box over the three letter after CL. BP is ridiculous.

unfortunately the professionally offended, and perpetually triggered groups would complain.

We've liveed through the stone age, the iron age, the copper age, the bronze age, and even the space age. Welcome to the glass age.

It's only censored for the money, which makes it even worse...?

Although I wholeheartedly agree with you, I have been censored on other social media platforms for using words like "killled"(referring to a news article), and ""shot" again referring to a news article.) Social media is now the arbiter of word usage, which inhibits the public from discussing important issues. I don't blame the original poster for using a more social media acceptable word.

I'm sorry he committed suicidè, but this BP censoring is getting out of hand. So I have to do this, süicide, súicide, suicìde, suiçide

Everywhere keeps censoring it that’s the exact opposite of what we should do and the more we talk about it the better this is from a mother who unfortunately knows

I completely agree. It is BP censoring things.

I wanna give you 200000 upvotes!

An idiot who goes to the doctor but ignores their advice doesn't not prove that medicine is not a good practice. It just means some people suck. Same applies.

Wait till you hear about the Rapture and that a sizeable portion of western society is actively cheering on the conflict in the middle east hoping that it means they'll soon get to go directly to heaven while the world suffers and burns in the aftermath.

Some, not many. A loud minority doesn't make it a majority. It makes it loud.

Those that do are referred to by the word "ar$ehole".

… many happily do.

No true Scotsman

A funeral is for the living, not the dead

Family, lack of "neutral" cemeteries, social norm,....

There may be some churches that charge to hold a funeral service, but they don't all do that.

THIS!!!! You get Internet Points for the LiZa reference

I'm going like Elsie!

I'm not so sure about that. What if we made one where God was just someone to blame things on? Like you go to church and the preacher goes to his podium and starts going like, "Well that Almighty D******d has sure f*****g done it this time."

Religion, war, and money are the top 3 worst inventions in human history

That's not entirely fair. Religion does bring a lot of peace and comfort to some people.
