     For the record I didn't mean to sugest that this idiot kid was in any way killing himself out of depresion or anthing else that is usually associated with suicide. He died to send a message. Only for the reason of passing curiosity do I care to hear it.

     Which brings up something else, I intend to make fun of that message. Nic said he didn't think this was something to joke about, I disagree for a couple of reasons.
1 For starters killing yourself to make a point is just plain silly. Just like hurting your foot kicking your car when it breaks down. It hurts you (well unless you die really quick) and does nothing to improve your situation personally. I can't remeber which general it was (Patton maybe?) that said, "Don't die for your country, live for it. The trick is getting the other guy to die for his." I think that's badly misquoted but you get the picture. Anyone rember the correct quote?
2 This guy wanted to be taken seriously. That's reason enough. Just on principle I try not to give violent idiots or killers (or in this case would-be killer) anything they want. He tried to kill people that had done nothing to him personally because he was freakin' confused... So, I laugh at him. I hope the next guy like him hears me.
3 It kills the glamour of it. I know how stupid that sounds, hear me out. Right now there are kids out there dumb enough to think this was cool. I don't know any but I'm pretty sure they exist. If they hear a bunch of jokes about it they are far less likely to follow suit.

     Oh well, have fun. See you in a couple of days.
