67. There is a whole lot more of this happening than you think. The Disney machine just didn't do as good a job making sure this one didn't get out. Must not have paid off the right people...

68. When you think about suicide, you aren't thinking about how it's going to affect your family, friends and who finds your body. You are only thinking about how to end the paiin and problems you are having at that moment. So, yeah, in a way, it is selfish, but then again, when you just want to end your own pain and suffering, it isn't in that person's eyes. It's a sad place to be, thinking and trying to succeed with suicide. If you haven't bene to that point, you will never know how it is or how a person in that place thinks. I am sorry for the family and friends on the victim. I hope they will be able to remember the good times, before the dark and nasty world took over his life, and keep going forward with their own lives.

70. The guy was a friend of mine--my best friend in high school. He battled depresssion for a year. He left a wife, two children, a brother, a sister, and his parents are still living. To the twits who made snide comments: you better hope that a karmic boomerang doesn't come back to hit you -- or, worse, someone you love.
