If you were watching someone commit suicide on a 'net camera

ER, no one else has an opinion on this issue??? The rest of you have nothing to say?

No,
"way to go!!",
OR
"OMG",
OR
"of course I would have encouraged him, thats the best entertainment ever"?

If your going to commit suicide atleast do it right.

I agree with some of the others on here, there are so many attention whores out there on the net "OH WATCH ME, I NEED ATTENTION" blahblahblah
Iwouldn't of taken any notice of him at all

I understand some people are more needy than others, but crying wolf to commit suicide is so over the top it gets annoying.
if it was somebody I knew well I'd certainly take it more seriously.. but on the net I dont know who these people really are so I'd probably just ignore them

Strangely enough, the FATHER doesnt agree with the apathy shown by others.
ABC News: Father Appalled by Virtual Audience to Son's Death

Quote:

The father of a college student whose suicide was broadcast live over a webcam said Saturday he was appalled by the virtual audience that egged on his son and called for tougher regulation of Internet sites.

Abraham Biggs Sr. said those who watched and the Web site operators share some blame in his 19-year-old son's death.

"I think they are all equally wrong," he said. "It's a person's life that we're talking about. And as a human being, you don't watch someone in trouble and sit back and just watch."

I think this proves that people simply will not be good just because someone tells them to be good.

YEAH ALMOST EVERYBODY HAD IT BAD GROWING UP.
BUT YOU SEE SOME PEOPLE R STRONGER THEN OTHERS.
I AM A MIXED 23 FEMALE.
AND I HAVE TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
NOW YOU MADE A STATEMENT THAT GOT ME A LITTLE UPSET.
YOU SAID (YOU SUICIDE IS THE MOST SELFISH THING & ALL THAT PERSON CARE FOR IS THIERSELVES. YOU R SO WRONG.
IF ALL DAT PERSON CARE ABOUT IS THIER SELF THEY WOULDN'T TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
THEY WOULD WANT TO LIVE.
WHEN I CUT MY WRIST ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL I WAS DEAD B/C I LOST SO MUCH BLOOD.
I HAD TO GET A BLOOD TRANS.
I WAS MAD @ THE DOCTORS FOR BRING ME BAC.
AND TO THIS DAY I STILL CUT MYSELF.
SINCE THE AGE 14 I WAS SUICIDAL.
I HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER 9 YEARS ALMOST 10 YEARS.
SO MY POINT IS BECARFUL OF THE STUFF YOU SAY B/C LIKE I SAID YOU DONT KNOW WHAT A PERSON GOES THROUGH.
YOU HAVE A BLESSED LIFE.

I wouldn't have egged him on (personally i think that is a really stupid question to ask), but there are so many people who keeps calling wolf, eventually you just ignore them. I bet if you go back into the other threads or his pms you will find people who gave him advice to seek help. He chose not too and end his life, am i supposed to feel sorry for him all because life is hard and he couldn't handle it?

The internet is not a nice place at all. There are no rules and it brings out the worst side of people as they don't have to face someone and the consequences of their actions in most case. The people who egged him on are sick and hope they feel guilty for what they did. However spend some time on any of the chans websites and you will get an eye opener on how many assholes there is on the internet.
