Lastly, the attitude that suicide is not desireable or is to be scorned or avoided is culture specific. there are a number of cultures that respect a person's decision to take their own lives.
Those cultures practice suicide as a religious ritual of some kind and they have their right to their rituals but here, on a "mutual support board" it is NOT a ritual. It is PAIN being expressed and a plea for HELP. Don't try to justify your own ridiculous rantings by cloaking them in cultural ritualistic practices that do NOT have any bearing on this situation.
