I am just sitting here with tears streaming down my face. This is the SECOND suicide since end of July I've had to read about. I am sure there are many more. If this is not the appropriate forum in which to post, please move...
I am just so incredibly sad and ANGRY with anyone who would say these poor people don't need help. ********** country and ********** government and screw capitalism!
As I watch the evil cabal of politicians and corporate robbers playing games with the lives of the American people I keep hearing a specific line of an old Bob Dylan song....The Masters of War.....going around in my head. I wonder if anyone can guess which one. These evil, evil people will surely have to pay, in this life and/or the next, for all the blood on their hands.
You just wait and see. And my comment stands true. God, you're smart. Who would cite a UK source first? Oh, and your article was dated 7-9-9 from the Huff Post. Geez, it's 11-10.
A lot of statistics for a (supposed) suicide note. That, and I tend to not believe things that start with: "The following letter from a desperate and hopeless 99er named Mark was sent to me by another hard working 99er, Bud Meyers. Mark's contact information is not yet available."
I'm calling BS.
Oh, and what you don't realize, there is a whole network out there you don't even know about. I won't cite the websites here, but trust me, these people are hooked up and I've been privy to a lot you have not.

Very sad indeed. During this time in our country we need compassion and empathy for the least among us. Something many seem to be severely deficient in. Not only deficient, but downright mean towards those who suffer the most. To me that's a sign of a psychopath, but I digress...
Unfortunately this is the crux of their argument: Black and white with nothing in between. I suppose it's the only way their brain is capable of functioning. If you lost your job you're "Lazy" if you're working class poor or middle class but can't afford health insurance you're a "loser", etc etc.

As someone who claims to be versed in "forum conversations", I would think your mind would be open to all news sources, not just from your limited list.. Who would cite a UK source? Someone who knew there was a recent study in the UK. Its not my fault you were unaware that these studies are done constantly..
99er's? How cute. They have their own club. I'm guessing they don't have to actually pay any monthly dues.

People do commit suicide all the time. They're desperate people. Its the last resort.
