LOL!

Well thats some stupidity out of the Gene Pool; now for the rest.

Seriously; LOL!

Such a blunt way to put it... but LOL, I have to agree. Anyone who commits suicide over a video game, obviously isn't right in the mind anyways. Even if this didn't happen, he would probably be dead the next time someone turns him down on a date or he gets a bad grade in school.

I have no sympathy for those who end their own lives.

Though seriously, the human gene pool is going down the drain. Still you can't help but feel sorry for the family, even if the kid was stupid, it's still gotta be really hard to lose a family member.

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 113	Several times when I was younger, I got mad at my parents and decided to kill myself by holding my breath. Obviously it didn't work out quite like that. But I guess he was thinking the same thing, just in a smarter/dumber way. But if he really didn't mean to kill himself, he probably would have been able to climb back up, right? I don't know. Maybe by the time he realized he didn't actually want to do it, he was too weak? « Last Edit: June 28, 2008, 06:43:09 pm by Hylian Lemon » Logged

Heh I read that and fought 'How do you accidently hang yourself? O.o' Me too. Actually Kotaku said that Coroner or what not said he killed himself by accident. I think "temporary insanity" would be a better word to use than "accident", though. It was all part of some idiot tantrum. HAd that kid never been punished before? Logged
