lol, agreed.

but why do people have to blame everything on something else?
someone killed them selves, you cant blame that on a website. there must be something deeply routed into their brains which makes them do it. isnt committing suicide a genetic thing? i was reading about it before, and it was found certain weights and lengths of new born babies were linked to increased rates of suicide in those babies.

"Mrs Moon said she was growing increasingly worried by the appearance of so-called "memory walls" on networking sites like Bebo, where members leave messages to mark the death of a friend."

Can't even say how much daft that has in it.

Sure, you might think it's "romanticicing suicide", if you're a trolley pushing, flowerhat wearing granny.

It's just a memory, respected, in a different format.

If someone kills themself to get on an internet memorywall, don't these people think there's a BIT more to the story. Maybe they do it because they have serious problems? Maybe, as an example, it's because schools stopped school psychological counceling in finland back in the 1996 or so? MAYBE, it's because parents don't give that much a f*ck?

Hell, committing suicide because of an internet memorial site, would be like tris- complaining about something i do JUST to grow an epeen inch. Ludacrious.

But, have to say Sharma, don't take it too offensively, but turning this into a "good, keep it up, chavs should die", is a bit iffy, especially for a mod. Yes, it counts.

If you put a gun to my hand, and told me to either shoot a stranger or a chav, the choice would be equally bad for me.

I, personal opinion, believe that everyone is equal, when matters of right to life and death come into play.

I noted that, my hands have been making nothing but typo's all day.

And Toh, naw I don't take that to offense.

I just utterly despise chavs and anything that helps mop up the gene pool is fine with me!

Fair enough, and it probably is a very common view in UK, just strikes from my view as odd. Probably 'cause if i looked at those people, i wouldn't think of them as chavs, but as rather normal.

It's most likely a problem with my views, and not in that being "iffy". If you know what i mean. Cultural thing. Bet if someone from the UK came here, a lot of normal people would look like chavs too. And that would bite them in the a** quite quick.

The whole chav thing is a bit shrouded, as i've yet to come up with a fitting finnish "comparison" point. Or, rather, translation.

its a shame chavs dont think this, otherwise id have no problem with them.

Actually a shame a LOT of people don't think it, but i get what you mean. It's true, it's hard to be understanding or "non-judgemental" towards people who are non-understanding and judgemental.

how did they know whether it was the internet or something else that caused it? did they ask them?

Usually it's quite hard questioning a corpse.

Perhaps the social suicide site can be government funded ?

Last week Natasha Randall, 17, was found hanged at her home near Bridgend and a girl who is believed to know her self-harmed a day later."

Oh FFS self harm has nothing to do with suicide, but in most cases a lot more to do with depression, and if someone you knew had killed themselves, then wouldn't you be depressed as well?

I hate these twats who go around saying that xyz is wrong, and they know absolutely nothing about it.

"If everyone you knew jumped of a bridge, would you do it as well?" The type of question your parents usually ask, which is kind of a "no brainer".

Until now.

Self harming is more of a way of relieving the pressure of something, it's more of a "cleansing experince" than a suicidial one.
