Arizonaffcep Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The real question is would not allowing videos like that to be posted on Youtube, Google video, etc. really have an impact on the teen suicide rate? If a teen is determined that they want to die they won't go watch people do it, they'll go do it themselves. Not to sound too cold, but who are we to stop purposeful examples of Darwinism?

Letting children off themselves is not what Darwin imagined, IMHO. Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, there is at least one video of someone committing suicide on Youtube. Its is of Bud Dwyer.

I kept hoping and waiting for the Governor of NY (already forgot his name, as his fifteen minutes are up) to follow Budd's example. I'm bummed out that he didn't man-up. http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Budd_Dwyer http://www.nothingtoxic.com/media/11520990...ress_Conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedoc5 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Anyone remember the "Faces of Death" films? They were having this same discussion about them at one point. Real or fake? Freedom of Speech or being responsible? How would showing suicide and/or accidental deaths, whether real or fake, would effect the public especially the youth? Back then everyone seemed to talk in circles, and it seems like they still do. But I don't mean just here, society in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You all remember Bud.) There is also the video of the "Bjork Stalker" taking his life.
