Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info
downundarob writes "The Australian federal government is once again showing its cluelessness regarding the workings of the Internet. The short article tells us how, under legislation to be introduced this week, corporations would be fined up to AU$500,000 and individuals AU$100,000 if they use the Internet to incite or promote suicide methods. In Australia it is illegal to commit, or attempt to commit suicide."
Doesn't Australia have a large number of undesirables (i.e. Black people)? Shouldn't they be encouraging them to kill themselves rather than commit murder? What about the fags - isn't it better for them to commit suicide than to go on spreading AIDS?
Finally, someone has the FUCKING BALLS to TELL IT LIKE IT IS and SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT and GET TO THE TRUTH no matter WHERE IT LEADS.
Sir, I thank you.
I'll tell you what, i'l fly to austrailia and make an improvised firearm and do it for free. then you don't have to worry about the money in the other account?
(disclaimer: Of course i joking. just as the poster is about the nigerian scam/)
But it is a bad idea..bla bla blah..
Seriously. If you are feeling suicidal then there is a problem with you as a person. You are week. The fact a person claims they considered suicide and lived to tell about it demonstrate this weakness. It has been my experience that when somone suggest they are going to commit suicide, that trying to help them do it, snaps them right out of it.
It is mind control, really. It is normal to ocasionaly be depressed or even think about how things would be if you werent around. You have to focus on what you can change about what you depressed about or just accept the issues at hand. If you cannot do this then you do need profesional help. millions of people have the same probelm and chalenges they face everyday and don't sink to the level of kiling their selves. If you cannot cope with what everyone else is dealing with, profesional help is probaly the only answer.
but suck it up.
life goes on.
i don't think this law is about some sort of censorship of how-to manuals
i think this australian law is intended to deal with people like this guy
suicide pacts are not funny, in japan they are frighteningly more prevalent than elsewhere
gis, news, for "suicide pact"
coughed up this about the australian law
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
From the looks of your typing, you still have some alcohol left.
fuck you, you greedy insensitive cunt. she has to live for YOU? what about HER? you're worried about YOUR pain? what about HER pain, which was so overwhelming that she couldn't take it? you think she should have thought about you, but you obviously haven't thought the least bit about HER! what an asshole you are. i'd kill myself if i was related to you too. FUCK YOU.
Exactly what I thought. He did't mention the reason she committed suicide /once/, but whines that his grades are down. Oh fine. He will earn the first years of your employment a few thousands less. Very painful. Christ.
Me too, but it helps to think that maybe she's with Jesus and was able to help her feel better. I'd like it if it was the case.
With Jesus? If you believe in Jesus then she would be in hell now, not with Jesus (unless he is also in hell) tortured for the eternity. So shut the fuck up you moron, religions like christianity is the last fucking thing that a family of a suicide victim needs (yes, I call them victims, because they are the ones who have lost the most and suffered the most).
