flame me all you want, but this is Darwinism at work.
you stepped out in front of a bus and got hit? you tried to squeeze into a space not big enough for you and you got crushed? you tried going scuba diving without a tank and drowned? you drove into a brick wall (or worse, oncoming traffic, since that will take out innocents) at 100mph and expected to walk away from it because the car has airbags?
well, what did you EXPECT to happen?
my biggest gripe about it is society insisting that we have to help these people. sorry, but i think if you're too stupid to know what you're getting into in situations like this, you DESERVED it. and we should NOT help you because you'll probably just do it again and cost us all even more time/money/anguish (and probably even more stupid laws too). yeah, it's harsh. but even as a christian i don't think that God would be happy with these folks, since it's declared plenty of times in the bible that suicide is not acceptable.
edit: it's one thing when a small child gets themselves into a dangerous situation, such as walking into a street without looking, because they haven't learned to respect the dangerous situation yet. but grown adults? especially in a place like thailand, where it's so common that chances are good that they've personally seen the consequences? nope, sorry, no sympathy from me. nobody is superman. nobody is invincible, no matter what they may think.
and now, a lighter side...
