I love how they refer to people committing or threatening to commit suicide over "personal problems" as "attention seekers."

Do not disturb social harmony!

They should've used bacon fat.

Then the would-be suicide will remember the joys of bacon, and not even want to kill themself anymore.

I'd want to commit suicide, if I lived in China.  Who'd want to live in a polluted, crowded, 19th century era like country run by inept socialist authoritarians and corrupt businessmen?  It'd be like living in Scotland, only with slightly better food.

The idea is that they are unable to climb to a lethal height, falling before they get high enough of the ground to do themselves real injury.

why would a suicide bridge be to close to the ground to cause death? that's just the kind of lowered standards you get with Communism you want a bridge everyone can jump off of and end up with a suicide bridge to low to kill anybody..

Quote...we put up special fences and notices asking people not to commit suicide here.


The way i see it, they dont mind people killing themselves - they just dont want it to be there.
