I just read about this an hour ago on a tech site.

You had to know it was coming. A decade ago, Arnold was the Running Man. In another decade it will be the real thing. The web and every ones desire for fame and recognition will cause them to do anything for it, even die. People will continue to kill themselves for an audience and entertainment will stop being "dramatic" and become the real thing as far as the supposed danger is concerned.

I have seen TV shows about this exact thing. And I saw one about actual murders being webcast the same way.

I thought it was amazing how many were egging him on. No value of life any more. But what can we expect when you can have abortions on demand?

I have heard of that happening when people jump from tall buildings. Some in the crowd will tell them to jump. It's so sad that there is so much pain in this world.

I find this extremely disturbing. I will not watch this. I didn't watch Saddam Hussein's execution either.

i believe that thourgh television has destroyed many lives. and video games also. it has stolen a persons sense of compassion and the fear of death. it has caused many people of all ages to harden thier hearts and feel no remorse about killing anyone.. childern at young ages are killing. some people say aw oh well on with life.. what has happen to this country. TELEVISON AND HOLLYWOOD DESTROYS LIVES..

It is sad that life has no value to many of the younger generation. What a shame there were people encouraging him to die and laughing when he did. Another lost soul.

And [atheistic] evolution being taught in our public schools and universities.

Kids are being desensitized, and robbed of the very knowledge of God and fear of an afterlife without God.

His suicide note has been released.
Very sad.


------------------

Ask a guy who is gonna OD (again) tonight anything

To Whom It May Concern,

I am going to leave this for whoever stumbles across my bookmarks later on.
I hate myself and I hate living. I think that if someone who knows me reads this they will know who I am. So I will leave this unsigned. I am an a******. I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never change or never improve. I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her.

I have come to believe that my life has all been meaningless. I keep trying and I keep failing. I have thought about and attempted suicide many times in the past. I used to think of my failure as some mystical way of telling me that I was really meant for something meaningful. The only thing I dread, besides the pain, is the way my family will suffer.

I do not want my mother or father to think that it was anything they did that lead me to kill myself. I never really had any plans of leaving a note. I thought that I would not be able to describe why I want to do this and I am right. There is no way to tell you or anyone else why I dread every new day. My father had such high expectations for me and tried to give me every opportunity to improve upon myself. I let him down. I think that I am a major disappointment to him. I have a job but I'm always broke and I am in college but barely, I show up to class but that's about it.

I want my life to end. I am tired of f****** up everything. I am tired of people always telling me that they do not like me. I am tired of trying to be decent. I hope that someone finds this post and I hope that my parents know that I f***** up not them. It is my fault I screwed up my own life.
The hate that rages within me, rages not for those I love so dearly or those who have crossed my path.

This hate rages full force towards me and only me.
I have long forgiven those who've hurt me, but I have not and cannot come to terms to forgive myself for the things I have done to myself, and the things I've done to hurt those in my life.

You have all touched my life in one way or another, especially those whom I call family.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for ending my life the way I did. I hope that you can all find it in your heart to see it as way for me not suffering anymore and that I am finally at rest with myself, for being at rest with the guilt that constantly ate at me for so long.
Please forgive me all for taking my own life so early. I tried so hard to fight against this strong battle. I have reached out for help so many times, and yet I believe, I was turned away because of the things I did, that it is a punishment I am willing to take, for I know that being who I am has only brought myself and others pain.

I love you all and will forever live within the memories we created.

Forgive me.

Love always and forever,

As for my signature I will leave you with a quote so that if anyone reads this they will know it's me, "Can't feel pain if your dead? Just Saying"

Oh this hurts my heart. I am just in tears for this young man's family. Lord please comfort them.
