Internet Sites Biased Towards Supporting Suicide
Believe It Or Not, I Care About You writes "According to a new study in the British Medical Journal which examined the search results for various suicide-related search terms, the most common results supported or encouraged suicide. Wikipedia was one of the most prevalent sources of information, particularly on suicide methods, although the Wikimedia Foundation itself does not encourage suicide. Other studies have shown that media coverage has an effect on suicide particularly with respect to influencing the method chosen. Interestingly, this study notes that suicide rates actually decreased with increased Web usage in England, perhaps because support is readily available to anyone who wants it."
KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT!!!
on Comcast. I wonder why?? I guess dealing with Comcast is worse than death.
...although the Wikimedia Foundation itself does not encourage suicide.Glad to see they cleared that up.

Suicide is a problem that will resolve itself.
Unless you're a completely fuckup.
...although the Wikimedia Foundation itself does not encourage suicideNot even when it comes to their founder?

...but what's the point?
Ok emos everywhere, this is how you do it.
Stand at the top of a tall structure and make sure that there is something relatively soft below.
Tie cheese wire around your neck - tight enough that it won't slip off under tension but loose enough not to choke you.
Tie the other end to something solid on top of the structure. Make sure that there is a good six or seven feet of slack.
Now stand at the edge and glue your hands to the side of your head. Wait until your hands are glued solidly to your head.
Now jump off the structure. It'll only hurt for a second, when the cheese wire runs out of slack and slices through your neck. The overhang should stop you from bashing your now-severed head against the wall of the structure when the cutting motion jerks your body backwards.
This has the excellent effect of causing whoever finds your body to think that you have pulled your head off.
One of my favorite quotes (paraphrased): "Do you know what type of suicide rate we'd have if every idiot killed themselves? Yes, an acceptable one."
Also, I believe the punishment for attempted suicide should be death. If you can't do it right, we'll do it for you.

You mean like the guy who tried to commit suicide 5 times by drinking lye, and failed each time? He then drank some Lestoil brand cleaner, and ended up at the Pearly Gates. Moral of the story - "It's so easy when you use Lestoil!"
Web sites encouraging suicide? That is so depressing - I think I'll go slashdot my wrists ... zzzzzZZZZZZ
That they have to google how to kill themselves?
It makes perfect sense!
love is just extroverted narcissism
I don't know if I can go on after reading this.
The audacity of the Slashdot editors to post such inane drivel! Everyone knows that anything that is two days old is obviously completely irrelevant and not worth discussing! Fucking heathens should be punished for their intolerable behavior!

What if Tetris was invented by Nazis?
And possibly only to those who succeeded, in order to get the best suggestions.
Yeah, but when they do go out, they go out with one hell of a bang!
It's like a .45, but it scores badly in IQ tests.

Yes, but don't worry, a person wanting to commit suicide can also find plenty of good advice on the web that will give him or her some perspective and allow him/her to make a wise desicion.
..aaaaaand British Medical Journal article is debunked by a single +5 modded Slashdot comment...
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
Darwin is also satisfied. :)
It's also _very_ old news. I can't count the number of times some nut on GameFAQs told someone, "Suicide is your only option."
You got the wrong story. This is the one you're looking for

I've tried posting on kuro5hin too, but there's this guy there that tries pimping his music so frequently that I don't know how I can go on living.
