"ijime-ko" and suicide in Japan

Why Kids Kill
·
· Score: 1
I lived for a year in Japan, and one of the saddest thing I saw was the semi-tolerated tradition of kids picking out one kid to torment because they acted different or looked different. This group-picking-on is called "ijime" and the child who this happens to is called the "ijimeko."
This day-in, day-out torment can be so bad that children kill themselves to get away from it.
The thing that struck me about this whole Colorado situation is that every seems to agree that lots of people picked on these kids every day. Now, I'm not saying that their reaction was proportionate, nor am I saying that they didn't go out of their way to be picked on, but it's interesting that very few news items have picked up on this.
I sometimes think that adults forget what constant picking-on can do to your mental health.
You're right ... I'm wrong

You're right -- RedHat is a privately owned company.
Whew. Nothing like sitting down at your computer after supper to find that you've made a fool of yourself about "RedHat stock." Should have looked that one up. I guess I could try to make some lame excuse that I was speaking metaphorically, but I wasn't.
Who cares about RedHat?

Why would I pay for something I can get free?
I keep wondering if RedHat's stock is going to take a plunge once people figure out that you can get Linux for free.
I noticed that the article didn't mention Slackware.
Am I the only person who uses Slackware? I've got five machines running Slackware Linux and they all run fine -- never have to reboot them. Why would I pay for Redhat when I can download the install files for free?
