Raz, you should kill yourself.

Hey, that was unwarranted.

Suicide is selfish.  Eating is selfish.  Not everything selfish is bad.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Not now, hungry.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Suicide is selfish.  Eating is selfish.  Not everything selfish is bad.

Suicide by eating, however, is gross.

Not necessarily. "Mine Vaganti" has a wonderful scene of suicide by eating.

I would rather commit suicide than eat shellfish.

I think I restrained myself from making that pun about a dozen of times.  :Embarrass:

I guess you are able to control your impulsive behavior better than me.

I was thinking more of this scene ...
