3 Japanese Deaths Linked to Web Suicides

TOKYO - Three people were found dead in an apartment in western Japan in what appeared to be the latest in a series of group suicides linked to the Internet, police said Sunday.

 

More than a dozen people have died so far this year in group suicides in which participants are believed not to have known each other before meeting online.

 

30-year-old man and two women aged 21 and 18 were found dead Saturday night of carbon monoxide poisoning from a charcoal stove in a sealed room in the man's apartment in the western city of Kyoto, said a police officer at the Fushimi precinct. Their bodies were sprawled on a bed, and a suicide note was found in another room.

 

The three were from different prefectures, or states, and investigators believe they may have met over an Internet site that brings together people who want to end their lives, said the officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

 

Dozens of such sites have sprung up online in Japan, where a decade-long economic slump has been blamed for an increasing number of suicides.

talk about a stressed out culture....that really sucks. I hope their souls end up where they wanted them to.

 

In China during the communist revolution they shot drug users dead. Rounded them all up and put bullets in their head. Problem solved. Saddam Hussein hung drug dealers/users. The Taliban executed poppy growers.

marijuana in japan is on average $80-100 a gram in the northern most island its free. it grows wild everywhere. the japanese used to be one of the leading producer of hemp. they used it for cheap kimonos, baskets, and seven spice seasoning. the police dont really care too much about it, i mean the drinking culture is out of control here, little is known about weed so its lumped in with harder drugs due to america`s war on drugs policy. and up until last year you could buy a wide variety of mushrooms and xtc from head shops. if they wanted to ring out to dry they could but most times they just throw it out. penalties are stiff fines usually.

 

suicide in japan happens alot. they`ll kill themselves over burnt toast. they can`t accept failure like americans. we`re used to that shit. one bad thing and its off a building.

i just found out

 

suicide=kills ones self

 

matricide=kill your mom

 

patricide=kill your father

 

who would make up words to kill your mom or dad?????????

 

Latin Lesson from ShApE:

the words patricide and matricide come from the latin words Pater, moter, Pater meaning father and moter meaning mother

 

 

ShApE's list of words most likely to be spelled wrong:

Pater

Mater

Why not? We already have fratricide, ethnicide, and genocide?

 

Hey that sucks about the japanese suicide trend, I know it's always been pretty high there cause of the stress they put on school and shit like that but damn, now because the economy is low? I thought it went sour about 4 or 5 years ago? How can these masters of innovation who brought themselves out of the destruction of WW2 to become a leader in economics become so low? Well the US is low too, no thanks to our president. If I was japan I would be working the hell out of alternative energies so I get out of the oil dependency, especially since now Bush has pretty much monopolized the oil and can simply put his competitors out of business or acquire them. Fuck oil. Greedy motherfuckers been fighting over afghanistan since the soviet union broke up.... and Iraq. Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan... etc. etc.

I am willing to discuss alternative energies and autonomous economies.... Discuss?

man, if i ever go to japan, whenever someone su much as invades my general 3 feet of personal space, i'm going to fly into a tirade about how they've failed in life, they're worthless, and have nothing to live for. if that doesn't work, i'm going to punch them.
