I reckon. Could that be anymore wrong? Our crime rate is exceedingly low when compared to other nations, and the media plays nothing but “family friendly” and “underdog vs corporation” stories on the news.
I know right, it’s terrible that someone would say something like that about us…. it makes me want to…. murder someone with a hammer, or at least commit “vehicular manslaughter”.
Haha, whoever did that is either arrogant or didn’t do their research. It should have been:
“Banned. Determined unsuitable for all citizens. Forced to pay twice as much as the rest of the world regardless of exchange rate or mode of distribution.”
(I’m referring to the recent Steam price hikes by the way).
now i’m off to shank some foo’s and molest babies that are being eaten by dingo’s.
and @f4cti0n – Suicide is a crime now? lol i imagine that would be hard to police.. “sir, he leapt off a belcony and died on impact” “Bastard, i’ll see him rot in jail for this!”
Specifically speaking about my comment, I was merely informing that the statistics I was referencing included that as a factor. It also included ‘attempted’ bike theft (which I encountered a few times doing security work, the police don’t really care if nothing is taken) and public intoxication, so “crime rates” are an incredibly vague term.
Technically, it IS a crime to attempt suicide… depending on your location. Victorians are free to kill themselves all day long, just don’t fail at it, police can use all reasonable force to stop you, short of killing you ;)
Suicide was made illegal so that police etc are able to prevent someone from committing suicide. If it wasn’t illegal, they wouldn’t be able to stop someone from jumping in front of a train or off a bridge. They don’t prosecute suicide attempters, though.
Tame in comparison to the news? Try comparing it to our safety ads. There is no message the government hasn’t tried to get across with an extremely graphic ad campaign.

Monday, November 23, 2009 at 9:22 AMFunny, I thought our crime rate was low? Stats wise…
murders: 32nd of 49
robberies: 17th of 47
total crime rates us as number 1, but that includes piracy, suicide etc.
Oh well, good thing I think Gamespy is the biggest load of trash ever anyway!

Monday, November 23, 2009 at 7:32 PMInstead of making suicide illigal I say lets just ban public transport and tall buildings. Easier for everyone..
