RMJ entry #5:

The following are excerpts from an article on MSNBC.com: http://www.msnbc.com/news/922190.asp?vts=061020032335

"The discovery Sunday of the bodies of four young Japanese men in a car at a vista point near Mount Fuji appears to be more evidence of a grim new trend in the prosperous country — group suicides of strangers who meet over the Internet."

"Police were still investigating this latest case, but on its face, it looked eerily like others that have followed a general pattern: The victims are normally young and meet over the Internet through a burgeoning number of suicide-related sites, chat rooms and bulletin boards in Japanese — sites where participants are online not to dissuade, but to support one another in their desires for suicide."

Sorry to bring such a grim story to your attention. But what has this world come to???

People, this is not such a site! Go talk to a shrink if you think it is or if you are looking for one.
