Edit: On a side note, Major you have successfully gotten a Bob the Builder ad to pop up at the top of this thread. Good job. |

"I didn't know you were born!"

N.B. I take into accound mm's at what point is life not worth living thread and make exceptions for some of those .

The responds to "I wish I were never born" would have to be some kind of an "open ended question" in order to find out why it was said. I think the responds to why it was said would be more tricky.
Was it said because of low self esteem or did he/she simply have an embarrassing situation that day? |
