online suicide

First, the American government made suicide illegal, ruining the holiday plans of many of this country's millions of depressed citizens.

Now, Facebook is standing up to suicide, pulling the plug (ironic wording!) on the "Web 2.0 Sucide Machine."

This online assisted suicide machine "lets you delete all your energy sucking social-networking profiles, kill your fake virtual friends, and completely do away with your Web2.0 alterego."

Obviously, Facebook didn't like the sound of that one bit and banned the site.

Which is for the best.  Suicide is never the answer.  You should address a need for online fulfillment the same way you would in real life.

Religion, like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, can help provide answers.  Or you could go to About.com to receive unvetted advice from an expert.  Or just talk it out with your friends.

…they are all available online!

If it all seems like a vicious circle, try not to think about it too much.  That just makes things worse.
