Suicide is a rational decision. You put everything in balance and if you come to the decision that death is preferable to life, then you kill yourself. It's got nothing to do with atonement. It's purely selfish - who wants to live crippled by gossip, rumour and shame?
So suicide…

This bloke is so repugnant and annoying. I saw him once on TV in a family home playing with the daughters, both under ten, in his jockeys, like it was perfectly natural. He is definitely a symptom of a deep sickness.

Are there any alps near Tokyo? If not, then this bloke is just a climber (unless he's advocating the mountains be designated as alps, or perhaps a diet of muesli).

The Japanese penal system facilitates redemption how exactly? By letting people contemplate their crimes? There's no system of rehabilitation in Japanese prisons.

What's so wrong with being naked in a park in the middle of the night that coppers had to rush to the scene and arrest him on the spot? Was his naked body likely to corrupt the youth, start a riot or perhaps encourage mosquitoes? There has to be more…

It's not frivolous, but it is definitely selfish - how ego-centric can you get? The urge to pass on DNA is the biggest expression of self there is.

Flat-panel TVs are not eco-friendly - their manufacture utilises one of the most virulent greenhouse gases there is. It wasn't covered by the Kyoto agreement because at the time there weren't many flat-panel TVs being made, so it wasn't seen as a threat.

I agree with Cleo - a complete waste of time and effort - adopt!
