It's a shame the Chinese government doesn't do anything about that bridge. At the very least they could setup a policeman or two there to shoot the jumpers.

Anyone else think people should have the right to end their life if they want? It'd be interesting to see how those people fared after being "saved"

Nope.

As someone who's been suicidal it comes over you in a wave and if you hang on through that wave you get to the other side. It's not a rational decision. Your brain gives you loads of rational excuses to kill yourself but the driving force is the wave of emotion which is completely irrational and temporary.

Goethe already asked this question in the 18. century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorrows_of_Young_Werther

After the release of this book a "wave" of suicides followed. I think that is why it was never declared "standard" literature.

weekends only, so if you're really serious about jumping, you gotta wait for a weekday.

Ironically, there are much more suicides during the weektime than on weekends.

Depressed people still have a lot of work to do during the week. No time for suicide.

but then Saturday morning hits, all quiet, no work to do, alone with your thoughts, then BAM! No hope left.

how is that 'ironic'? Is English not your first language?

The statistics say you're wrong though.

Actually. dumbass. A hero is someone who stands in all white areas with BLM signs to bring awareness to racism. Everyone in my town is a hero.

Quit thwarting natural selection, asshole.

Nothing natural about suicide.
