2003-06-11 - 10:12 a.m. Japan is Dead So apparently Japanese people are meeting on the internet for something that isn�t music or porn. They are meeting for Suicide. Holy Moley!!! That�s right 18 people have made suicide pacts as of late over the internet. These are sites where participants are online not to dissuade, but to support one another in their desires for suicide. They are getting together to make sure that they have each other to follow through with the plan. There was one 30 year old guy and then two younger women. Then there were two teenage girls who jumped off the building together. The sites teach them to do it in very painless ways that are quick. Carbon Monoxide is a biggie. Anyway. I just think that its weird that 30 Japanese people have committed suicide off this site, 18 since February alone. Four males were just found yesterday. No my opinion on suicide is this. Listen, it probably will get better, but who knows. Maybe your life really is that bad. Who am I to say what you can do. I just think that you should try and work through it. And then if you still can�t handel it, maybe it a good option. I think that mostly is for old people or sick people though. A teenager has a lot to live for. Just cause Bobby didn�t ask you to the dance, doesn�t mean you get to jump off a bridge. I also have a hard time seeing a 30-year-old guy doing it. Cause I think that�s primetime in a male life. I am talking primetime. But I guess that guy needed a friend. Too bad they were suicide friends. So I guess the question is: Do you want suicide friends? On one hand, its good to have someone there with you, cause usually it�s a lonely thing. But then they are suicidal friends�don�t you think you should consult someone more stable. It seems silly to me. I know this is a serious subject, but if people were just able to remove themselves for the situation just even for a second they would be able to see that there is more to life. I mean who hasn�t thought about it, at least somewhat. For me at least, this is how the conversations go. (with myself) Man I am really depressed. I can�t believe how bad this is. I should do something. Maybe I should kill myself so everyone will feel bad for me cause no one notices me. Yeah, It would be pretty sweet if I were dead. Wait, No it wouldn�t. It would suck. Who cares if people care about me if I am dead? I certainly won�t; I�ll be dead. It would be pretty sweet if I were popular. Yeah. So then I buy some Abercrombie and Finch to be popular, and then I realize that I really do have a reason to commit suicide. | |||||||||||
