I don't get it. Are people now days stupider than say 30 years ago? Take this case for example; a story about John aged 15 who made legal history by becoming the first person to admit the offence of incitement to murder themselves.
I could add some witty commentary about how stupid those kids are, but I'll leave that to the reader's imagination.
I do know that the blame that the internet will get for this is unjustified, but then if you followed popular belief, I should be a mass-murderer or at least suicide prone, since I listen to heavy metal, I played AD&D, I play computer games, I watch the Simpsons, and I use the internet!
*edit* I should note that yes, the guy that stabbed John is more of an idiot.
