Sick Sick Sick... The value of life has degraded to such a low point... I can't believe that in Japan people actually consider Suicide a valid way to express depression because a person is out of work. All these people who have so little hope and lose their souls.
They also consider, and commit suicide when they get rejected from good colleges over there. They even have a word to define people who get rejected from their good prestigious schools. They're called "ronin." This is a word that originated way back in feudal Japan. It was used to refer to samurai whose lords were killed in battle. Back then, such people were considered low lifes, and they were encouraged to commit "seppuku" which is Japanese ritual suicide.
But anyway, back to this fetal farming business, it does sound pretty sick.
Ronin refers to any kid who doesn't get into whatever college (of course usually a good school) and spends the next year(s) re-studying for the entrance exam, and taking on some sort of temporary job, usually.
In Japan, people also commit suicide when they are caught in a scandal (financial/political/etc)
Again, I prefer that to societies such as America where the sick corrupt perverts parade around as if they are invincible and 1. get reelected and/or 2. become richer and 3. become more famous
Ted Kennedy, Paris Hilton, Bernie Maddoff, William "cold cash" Jefferson, Bill Clinton, Magic "HIV/AIDS" Johnson, to NAME JUST A FEW would probably have offed themselves if they were Japanese and lived in Japan.
of course, there are many corrupt people in Japan who don't kill themselves, but like Lisa said, many do. And I'm all for it.
And again, suicide and killing someone ELSE are two whole different things.
