Happens all the time in Japan, JR made a law where if you kill yourself on their line your family has to pay for the cleanup. So most people kill themselves on the privates lines now
Is someone being late really more important than someone's life being so unbearable they can't carry on with it? I've heard people say things like that a few times, and frankly it sickens me.
Thanks, Phil. I do think it's annoying, and think people have every right to be annoyed. Joel thinks everything I say is sickening, so I can't really win.
Oh for god's sake. I've had just as much experience of suicide as you, thanks, and it is something I feel *VERY* passionately about.
I'm half with Joel and half with Claire on this one.
Someone's pain shouldn't be prolonged for the sake others, but there's hundreds of others ways that are equally as effective that have the potential to ruin far less lives.
I'm not trying to cause a row! I have very strong views on suicide. As far as I'm concerned, the person in question's views should always be paramount. If life is really so unbearable for them, why force them to carry on going through daily pain purely for other people? Isn't that just as selfish?
And I *hate* having my opinions dismissed out of hand. Why do you feel the need to shout down all dissenting opinion?

I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.

I think it will be going offline around the end of May

It’s been almost 10 years since James passed away… and I feel like it’s time.
