I think to call him a moron is a bit much. He was a young kid who had no direction in life. I think it’s safe to say we have all been there at some point in our life. He didn’t do it to impress anyone and certainly never thought it would start a movement later on. To the people who died trying to get to the bus then yes, that is moronic.

As he wrote in his notes he lived a happy life. I don't think you should call him a moron just because you don't uderstand his way of life and if he had a happy life he probably isn't that stupid because the ultimate goal of life is to be happy and he managed to achive it.

It was a cool flick. The kid wasn't cut out for corporate life, cubicles, or sitting in front of a computer for 10 hours a day writing bullshit to sling on the internet just to make a buck. He died doing what he loved while most people never live.

I get it, he was a moron. Morons smile because they don’t know any better. Ignorance is bliss
