It's rather sad to see how a lot of these people died, especially the suicides and drunk driving accidents. It's so cliche, but horrible to see it put right in front of you.

Yeah, I've seen xangas and stuff where the person died and the blog is immediately flooded with comments talking to them as if they're still alive. Pretty much everyone does it... like those scenes in movies where the person talks to the grave of a loved one. The living just find it comforting, I guess.
I'm actually pretty amazed at the number of suicides... You really have to hit ROCK BOTTOM to go through with that... I wonder what kind of lives they led? What family backgrounds they had? How their peers treated them? And drunk driving deaths continue to infuriate me. You've seen it a million times, people... Don't. Drive. Drunk. Why would you
even do that...
By the way, I agree that this mydeathspace could possibly contribute to the suicide count... Depressed, impressionable kids seeing all these public declarations of love to people who were only in the shadows when they were alive... Well, kids might think that's the only way to get attention. Somtimes it's so hard to suck it up and get on with your life.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
