 Posted: 06/11/03 - 11:38 Post subject: Japanese suicide pacts online!
|
|

Yay!!
http://msnbc.com/news/922190.asp
"The discovery Sunday of the bodies of four young Japanese men in a car at a vista point near Mount Fuji appears to be more evidence of a grim new trend in the prosperous country — group suicides of strangers who meet over the Internet. The suicide pacts, which have resulted in at least 18 deaths since February, are shocking to experts, even in a nation plagued by an astronomical suicide rate.
Police were still investigating this latest case, but on its face, it looked eerily like others that have followed a general pattern: The victims are normally young and meet over the Internet through a burgeoning number of suicide-related sites, chat rooms and bulletin boards in Japanese — sites where participants are online not to dissuade, but to support one another in their desires for suicide."
Who on this board would YOU like to commit suicide with?? I choose Elavis.

| Quote: | | Saito notes another syndrome among young people called “hikikomori” — a withdrawal from society for months or, in some cases, years at a time. Often hikikomori sufferers confine themselves to a bedroom in their parents’ home, where many Japanese tend to live until they are married. By some estimates, about 1.2 million young people or about 1 percent of the total have slipped into this state of self-imposed isolation, cutting off contact with the outside, and barely communicating with those around them. As one recovered hikikomori sufferer described the condition in an interview with a Japanese paper, she became much like a “family pet” in the household who did little more than eat and sleep. |
Sounds like your average EQ player...

| Quote: | While mental health experts in Japan don’t actually blame the Internet for the recent cluster of suicides, the cases highlight some of Japan’s unique social and physical problems and its dismal response to a growing mental health crisis.
Topping a list of possible reasons given for the suicides is extreme alienation among Japanese youth and small penises among males. “Generally, they have a serious physical problem, which is that they have difficulty stripping in front of others, a kind of phobia or fear that they cannot satisfy women with their small penises,” says Yukio Saito, a Methodist minister who founded the country’s first suicide-prevention hotline. “Maybe this is quite a Japanese-type physcial problem. They have difficulty having **** relationships, so they tend to use the Internet to inflate their virtual penises before they kill themselves.” |

I suggest browsing www.rotten.com to explore some of the various ways to die and the relative level of gore for each of them.

Not like you can ask, "was it painful". You'll just have to take their word for it. A picture is worth a thousand words ya know.
