Hey Pippa - good to see you!

You scared me a bit, the last time you came on and posted what was happening. Is life treating you any better now?

It was his decision; who are we to argue with it?

Anyway, he is just one of 6 and a half billion other of us. He's had a privilaged life. Looking on the bright side he is now one less on the planet to consume finite resources and there are other positives:

He's giving stressed out people something to moan and talk about other than the really important stressing out type issues

Some of us can get a laugh (how ever sick) over his foolishness

Some of uis can feel virtuous and empathetic about the whole thing

Newpapers have something to write about

If he is buried as opposed to burnt the planet will benefit from his death

Some people might learn from his mistakes

The whole thing promotes discussion about suicide, modern society, family values

ETC

Really don't think its all bad.

Class.

Post of the year.
