(North) America's suicide epidemic worsens

One wonders how many of the heroic rescue-workers and emergency personnel who gave their lives on September 11th weren't already victims of the so-called "family" courts?

"Legal" destruction of families is our enemies' first weapon of choice!

So blowing your brains out is how you show love for your children?

***So blowing your brains out is how you show love for your children? ***

People who commit suicide thing *only* of themselves. Sick.

Here's my take on this:Too many people accept the myth that the man is always wrong, he is always the abuser, etc. Women CAN be very manipulative, and divorce lawyers greedy for the dollars have helped break up families which could have been helped by good Christian pastors.

Once labeled abusive by the system ,a man may well lose his job, home, car, and be so despairing that he can see no way to redeem himself. Satan must be laughing in delight.

Well, why shouldn't we kill ourselves, especially if we're white males?

We are repeatedly told that we're the cause of all the world's problems.

Not quite as sick as those who kill "loved ones" first.

***Not quite as sick as those who kill "loved ones" first.***

Very true.

The best protection for a child is to be placed with the most "stable" parent.

Should we be starting a Michael Jordan 'watch'?

[Blackyce]

Why do we refer to things like Aids and suicide as epidemics? I've always thought of them as sort of a voluntary removal from the gene pool.

[riley1992]

Everyone who offs themselves is responsible for their actions. Not everyone who contracts AIDS is.

It should be self-evident that the article wasn't posted as any justification of suicide - which my own personal religious beliefs lead me to believe to be a sin.

It was posted to illustrate the desperation of many fathers facing a greed-driven "justice" system which very obviously serves the ends of those, such as radical-feminists and homosexuals, who clearly wish to see the basis of our civilization - the conventional family - destroyed.

Good points raised here and the chest-beating about how wrong, selfish and sinful suicide may be (I agree) misses the point by a mile.

These drastic incidents of suicide by husbands and fathers demonized by their wives lawyers and called 'deadbeat' when a court orders them to pay twice what they earn in alimony and child support while preventing them from visiting their children and having them arrested for calling on the 'wrong day' simply make the case that courts and the 'justice' system have bought the feminist line and punish often decent men for simply being a father and a man the woman decided she no longer wanted or needed.

No justification for suicide but a true warning about 'family' courts treating all men as evil, abusers and worse, just for being male. It's wrong and it's time this travesty was exposed for the father-abuse it truly has become.

*Taking a deep breath* - here my .02.

Among younger Americans, it's the Kurt Cobain thing. It's actually WORSE in England, where more of their music heroes killing themselves.

More. And I'm not sure I'm explaining myself right or correctly. The English are given a daily dose of I hate England, white boys are wrong; sadly we are NOW getting the same thing. MTV doesn't play white rock/alternative rock, they play hip hop/rap. There's no white good music. They have made whites irrelevant.

The media is negative about being Americans and now people are dejected and depressed. One of the things that Americans always had, and this was our strong point till we were inundated with immigrants was optimism.

I think immigrants and hatred for whites has made Americans depressed.

You are exactly right. People who haven't been through this (divorce with children involved) don't understand. I cannot begin to explain the anguish involved in replaying the tape over and over. - for the rest of your life. It's easy to feel yourself pushed past the edge. And then the court behaves like you are a criminal. It's disgusting for this to be treated in a humorous manner.

[Osinski]

No, blowing your brains out doesn't show how much you love your children. It shows how beaten down a man can become trying to work in an unworkable system.

[Osinski]

Your compassion is underwhelming. Unfortunately for you, what goes around, comes around.

[riley1992]

You do realize you sound just like the liberals version of a victim now, don't you? I am not for one minute saying that men aren't getting a completely raw deal in the court systems. What I am saying is that you either fight it with all you have and do the best you can until you can reach your children or you don't.

Yet another symptom of social collapse.
