IT IS natural selection, they are too weak to handle life so they take the cowards way out..

As someone who has studied mental illness for years now, I can say that your response is a classic example of a simple cop out. Aka, the coward's way out of knowing what you're talking about.

So I guess that means no one should give a shit about what you say, by your own reasoning. Fair enough.

I usually try to keep myself somewhat under control here but honestly, shut the fuck up asshole. Depression is clinically defined as an illness, and dickheads like you are exactly why people are ashamed to have it treated, and get to the point where they're isolated and suicidal. Are you a weak coward if you break your leg or get a cold? Watching someone slide away and then saying "haha, what a wuss" is disgusting. Get a life.

I have personally been through the kind of hell that would have half this board seeing professional help for the remainder of their lives and yet I never commited suicide.

If you have issues then get help, or open your eyes and get out of the funk your in.

Yes these people that commit suicide are weak and yes they took the easy way out.

A cop out? Interesting... considering im stating an oppinion..

And please, let us see your "I am a a certified mental expert wall hanger"

The responses from you guys are typical responses you would expect from someone that had someone close commit suicide and are in need of a way to justify why this person decided to take the cowards road and cheat everyone close to him.

As opposed to admitting this person was a coward..

When did I ever say I was an expert? I just said I have studied it for years and thus I know better than to say "Oh, snap out of it, you fucking weakling."

I now refer you to the second sentence of my previous post.

This whole thing sounds more like a trend than depression. I doubt these people would have commited suicide if they did not have someone else doing it. Its really odd. I mean if Japan has such a high rate of Suicide why does Japan as a whole do something about it? Clearly there is a social problem, these people need to relax it seems. But it also seems way too rooted in their history.

That was sarcasm, and the second part of your post seems to be contrived out of your ass.

I didnt say people shouldnt care, I said that I as in myself do not care.

There are too many people in this world dying of Cancer and the like, or even murdered that would love to live yet some tool commits suicide because his girlfreind left him or he lost his job and no longer feels like a man..

And you guys say I have the problem.


But as to all stories there is another side, there ARE those that mentally have problems.. but NOT ALL people who commit suicide are mental as not all people who commit murder are..

Perhaps I should have made my stance more clear..

I always find it humorous when NS is misapplied to human society, 99.9% of the morons who use it to justify their pseudo-social darwinist beliefs wouldn't live 3 days if we reverted to the state of nature.

In 2001, there were a reported 31,042 suicides in Japan.

Damn... Well, with ~127 million ppl all living together on an island the size of California, I sorta don't lean towards loneliness being the major cause.. Hell, suffocation would be more like it. Well, more and more I see Japan IS alien to me... Putting up Internet ads for suicide pacts is something I never thought I'd be reading... Course, I could say that about alot things.
