Interesting how the Internet can influence..

That's why I said it's not nice to hurt people cause they have feelings too....but some people don't give a damn!
 
I don't think this is an "influence" as it is that societies are able to communicate faster and over longer distances to come to agree on something like even a suicide pact.

Tis sad that people kill themselves, but again, that's society.
 
Suicide's not illegal in Japan is it - with the whole dishonor thing, and er, suicidal pilots? Might be a cultural thing? I have no idea.

Yeah, Dennis, I agree with you there. If anything else, the internet also helps bring forth positive aspects - marriages, friendship, etc etc :)

Granted, Liza but I was thinking that, because the behavior was so "out there" that people of like convictions or behaviors are so few and therefore wide-spread that they wouldn't be able to form clubs of appreciable sizes to perpetuate whatever the latest thing is....that the Internet makes something like this happening easier and real cheap.

Very sad. Many people in today's world feel isolated and "disconnected" except thru their computers and text msg. Connecting with other people, even for a deadly reason, meets their need for human interaction. They would rather die "together" than live "alone". :(
