In the middle of heated debate, where do you stop and think that this is where you should probably draw the line (suicide vs. depression)?

Admittedly, I do have a little fun poking at controversy, but now I have access to a whole bunch of fearless and outspoken Vets and servicemembers. Cool beans.

I have been creeping around these threads, and I notice two very broad reaction to feelings in general: the haves and the have-nots. Specifically, the haves generally care about social issues and care about people as a whole, while the have-nots generally care more about personal freedoms, other groups be damned. Of course, there are also those who have a leg on each side of the line.

I think we all agree that suicide is a sad thing, and no one should have to feel as if that is their last resort (correct me if I'm wrong). Depression may be a gray area for some (not to be confused with sadness. We're talking long-term, uncontrollable depression), and we can dismiss someone's constant complaining as just being "a whiney liberal" or a "selfish *sshole" when in fact, they are in pain.

So I ask you, the honest people of RP, at which point do you stop to wonder if a person is okay? Where, in the middle of heated debate, do you stop and think that this is where you should probably draw the line? Is there even a line you don't cross? Or do you fight against your brother or sister until they fold, regardless of consequences?

For the sake of this thread, I only have one rule: I'd like knee-jerk reactions. Don't pause to research, don't phone a friend, don't poll the audience. Since it's not related to politics, we don't need to talk about candidates. If you're still reading this, you're a beast and deserve cookies.
