Thanks for the parenting. I guess you have never been depressed: you would value a few of things above your life if you had. But anyway, thanks for the mastering.
Using a mental health problem to counter an argument that depends on rational thinking is rather pointless.
Elemenohpee was dismissive because there is no reasonable argument for valuing minor to moderate legal liability as more important than life itself. Pointing out that elemenohpee was dismissive is not going to help you win the argument. It just adds more evidence to the accusation of "intellectually dishonest" if you have nothing else to say in rebuttal, especially when you exaggerate it.
Rational does not mean the same thing as sanity. Rationality means behaving in a manor consistent with your beliefs, desires, and the information you have. If you would much rather be killed while skydiving than driving your car taking you may do things that are not what most people would consider 'sane', but are still perfectly rational based on your goals and beliefs.
I'm not worried about some societal standards definition of 'sanity'. If you want to skydive into a volcano to celebrate your 80th birthday then go ahead. But depression as I understand it distorts your beliefs about yourself to the point that they can't be trusted at all. The problem is not the belief/desire/information per se, but how it got there.
If you truly valued freedom from legal liability above your own life, wouldn't you just kill yourself rather than be exposed to the risk of say, driving a car around other people?
