I can hardly see in this day and age a suicide being of any value. If the Japanese government (or any government for that matter) gave into the demands of each and every person who committed suicide where would it be?

The stereotyping and nastiness in this thread is just amazing, and I mean from both sides. People only seem to be talking from their own personal experiences and thinking that what they say is the one and only truth on the matter, when in fact they have only experienced a…

In Australia as well, there are plenty of people like this, it isn't a Japan only thing. We might live in a modern world, but people all over the world have been doing the same stupid stuff since the time of the caveman. But every time I see these car…

sfq2001, I completely understand what you're saying, but that doesn't make it right. We're living in a world that should be trying to solve these problems, not that these problems will be solved any time soon. We need to keep at and then keep at. Every country has problems and…

Actually, I think I did a "Hilary" and mispoke myself. In many countries divorce is rising, not necessarily most countries.

"... fewer people staying in bad marriages", and that is not a bad thing is it. If we can terminate an unsatisfactory business or political agreement, we should be able…
