It's no different from people who attempt suicide as a way of seeking attention. They might have been seeking attention, yes, but they damn well
deserve the attention -
professional attention - if that's how they were trying to go about getting it!
There is almost always an underlying mental disorder that drives people to these actions. They don't wake up and decide to kill themselves over time as a way of getting attention. They need treatment and if this thread has proved anything - it has proved that there is absoloutely no place for ignorant people to come along, spew out a few vague 'tough law' statements and go back to whatever they were doing.
When you are dealing with the mind, it's never that simple I'm afraid. Delicate f
ucker that it is
