90 every DAY?? Seriously???
Holy crap that's a lot! I wonder what the average is in other countries...
I'm not totally lacking in compassion for these people, but here's to the hope that if they're going to do it, they don't take anyone with them like the building-jumpers or the gassers.
A lot of experts here say that people who grew up or spent their early adult years living the good times during the bubble period are highly susceptible to this.
You have to reach a real low point to kill yourself. I have always felt that suicide is a very weak act to do. I cannot really feel much for people who knock themselves off. Although, sometimes there are very good reasons why people choose suicide as an out.
You should read David Hume's "Suicide." It's a really good book....
I will put it on my reading list. By the way what is the plot?
