Re: "LHC Claims first death"
A few thoughts ('caus I'm sure y'all are just dieing to hear my opinion
):
1) I was waiting for these kind of reports. Hoped they wouldn't come, but here's one. Hopefully it'll be the only one.
2) Why would anyone think "Everyone's going to die! Alas! I must kill myself!"...if you're afraid that you're going to die, you avoid it by...dieing?
3) Anyone, such as this girl, who would do that had some other issues going on to begin with.
4) I, for some reason, get the distinct sense that the girl's family is making excuses for her actions. Suicide is an ugly thing...and is something that generates...interesting emotions from the family members. Embarassment is one of them. Sort of a mix of guilt, and feeling of reflection on yourself. Additionally, anyone I've ever met from India comes from a very family-centric, proud culture (pride/family image is very important. many cultures are like this, I'm not picking on India). So instead of admitting family problems...lets blame the media and this new scarey laser thing. That's just the impression I got.
