@gnawaserge Pride kills humanity..

The reason so many people kill hemselves in Japan is because they work themselves so frickin hard. If I lived in Japan I would be like, "Fuck society I'm outta here." and I would leave and go into the wild and live on my own, which it's not that hard to live out in the wilderness so don't anybody say "Oh well that's just like suicide anyway.", cause it's not.

I live in Tokyo and I met a japanese girl that works for 18 hours a DAY and sleeps only 5 hours tops every night. She works 7 days a week and rarely she gets a holiday. She is young but I know that in about one-two years of time, something bad will happen to her. I was really afraid that she could commit suicide if nothing happened so I pushed and forced her really hard to look for another job. Luckily, she found it and now I don't have to worry... The japanese society is really fucked up...

They need to know that happiness is more important than pride.

@dheejhaay I think that was just an exaggeration. The point being, compared to other cultures, Asian societies expect their peoples to be more robot-like in general. You're frowned upon if you're too happy with a masterpiece you've created... Despite this, I think it's amazing the things produced from such cultures.

@seonidh The Tsunami was much further north. There were still a heap of big earthquakes near here (Mt Fuji) but no tsunami, Its a bit too far inland anyway and the area is pretty mountainous.

@seonidh oh i know they would go somewhere else, but the numbers are crazy as to how many people are found there, just would be nice to know its not an option location wise anymore. but yeah its def sad.

[seonidh]

@xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx I think its near mount fuji but if it was wiped out people would go to another place a bit like a bridge or the lovers leap in other countries you hear of from time to time. Suicide is really a cry fro help its so sad.

@seonidh thank you, i honestly wasn't sure i really know nothing of the geography of japan, i was kind of hoping it was, it's a beautiful forest, but, the sadness i myself feel knowing this is where people go to end their lives.. i have to admit i really was kind of hoping it was wiped out.

[seonidh]

@xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx its no where near the tsunami

[ScitechMusicClub]

"100% of cases"... love the statistical accuracy.

[xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx]

does this place still exist or did the tsunami wipe it out?
