(Its not what it sounds like!!!!!).......committing suicide by jumping off the golden gate bridge.?

Question

The other night I saw a news report about people who commit suicide by jumping off the golden gate bride in California. Almost 2,000 people have done it. There is a walk way next to the lanes for cars where people walk, ride bikes, skate, across the bridge. A few family members of the "jumpers" have sued the "bridge" or you know who ever made the bride because it was so easy for them to jump. They are now going to work on putting up a net so it will catch any "jumpers". I think this is ridicules and the people who sued are stupid. I mean if someone hangs themselves does that mean you can sue the makes of the rope?

What do you think should they be able to sue?

Should they have to put up a net????

Answer 1

i think it's pretty ridiculous for the family members to sue. i mean, hello, it's not the bridge's fault. i mean, yeah it kind of is. but the bridge doesnt make people jump off of it. as for the net......well, thats stupid. it's like telling everyone who doesnt live in california "oh, california has people that commit suicide off the Golden Gate bridge." i mean, honestly.

Answer 2

They should be able to sue, or be accountable for someone else's actions. The people who took their life be jumping was their choice. The wanted to end their life, and would have went about it another way if they could jump from the bridge. I think a net would only attract more people into jumping off the bridge for thrills, since they know it would be safe.

Answer 3

People just want money so they will sue anyone for anything they can think of.

And if they put a net under it some idiot is gonna jump off of it because there is a net so why not. It's all just stupid.

Answer 4

I live in the bay area, and this is a big debate around here. They want to put up a barrier, but most people think it will ruin the bridge's character. I think it's stupid that people sued, but I also see their side of it. Maybe if there was a barrier, they people wouldn't have jumped. But, they probably would have found another way. Suicidal people don't tend to be wishy-washy.

Answer 5

Hey, I had a friend who's family member jumped off of the New Orleans bridge 3 times and never did kill himself. Should he sue the 'bridge' cause he didn't die?? Are we wasting time here, yup!!!

Answer 6

um... well i really think that nobody should get sued for some strange persons actions. but scince they are getting sued then they should have some kind of sign saying... dont jump off...or...enter at own risk...somthing like that. but i kinda like the idea of a net. cause like what if i like fell off somthing... u no?!

Answer 7

Suing is all wrong. I think that the people who try and jump off.....well.... they probably did it on purpose. (that's thier probem) And if they put up a net, they'll probably just take tax-payer's money to do it. So I think it's wrong.

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”

God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.
