Girls' suicide pact shocks France ('Life isn't worth it' )

BBC ^

[traumer]

"French rock group Anorexia Nervosa..."

[coloradan]

Does this band want to increase the number of its fans, or reduce it?

[teenyelliott]

She was permanently humiliated. Everyone made fun of her clothes

Oh, the horror. Life is just so cruel.

I believe this is called natural selection.

[Petronski]

Trouble is, they make such bloody-good wine.

[traumer]

I want my MTV....

[theFIRMbss]

> heavily influenced by the gothic fashion in music and clothes

It's tough to be goth,
it's tough to be French. They were
living on the edge . . .

[twigs]

Are you a parent? This is tragic. Lots of kids go through difficult teen years, then grow out of it. It's NOT natural selection when they can't see beyond their present emotions. It's a tragedy for all involved.

[Sloth]

Eh. If I lived in France, I might agree.

[Paradox]

Nihilism continues its march among the Westerners living in France..

[Question_Assumptions]

Let all the goths take a good look at how these two looked after hitting the pavement. That might take some of the romance out of death for them.

[Red Badger]

Life is tough. It's even tougher when you're stuck on stupid.........

[dfwgator]

Having to endure listening to Air Supply made me consider ending it all too.

[Rennes Templar]

"Yes, there is a provocative side to groups like Anorexia. But just because they talk about death in their songs, it doesn't mean they want people to commit suicide. It is an act - a way of getting through to adolescents," he said.

Oh they got through.

In my opinion, a true example of evil, masquerading itself as PC normal activity.

[wideawake]

I can sense, somehow, that MadIvan is not going to enjoy this thread.

[yldstrk]

yuck.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

What else would you expect in a country that reproduces 1.2 people for every 2 citizens?

Their culture has been saying that life isn't worth living for years. They don't reproduce.

[dfwgator]

I always figured Goth was The Cure and Bauhaus, this French stuff is just dreck.

[samadams2000]

Bush couldve saved her if he signed Kyoto, called her and apologized for the Iraq war and met with her for a hug where the BBC could tape it.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Yes it is tragic. This girl was very depressed and talked of suicide and no one did anything about it. Her parents and friends should be ashamed of themselves for not getting her the psychiatric help she obviously needed.
