New or old article?...

to quote bob It won't be the first or the last.

That's a tragic way for a life to end

That's a damned shame. The article claims they lost their will to live life after they lost their jobs. They should have looked at what they had left as compared to what they didn't. A wife (or husband, depending on which side you're talking about) and baby are a lot to live for.

Here we go again. :rolleyes: Anyone else noticing the trend of similar tragedies?

2 humans condemn an entire planet?

This is pretty sad. If they didn't want the baby, then they should have put her for adoption.

not to get political.. but I would happily reinstate the death penalty especially for these cases.
Death by reality.

@ mr. Oblivion
They don't condemn us, but it gives you a good idea where the bottom of the barrel is.

@Expresate
Now you're talking.

@ Da Nang
THat the internet is being pushed as something you can get hooked on?
People can.
Weak willed, [...] people

Agreed. Bastards.

I agree with this.

"1 comment condemns a person?"

I know they don't. But people always act shocked when stuff like this has happened, and then they go one to say that humanity is a [censored]-pool of bad DNA.

These kinds of stories are always sad and disturbing on many different levels.

However, if your only comment is a wish to detail violent retribution on the perpetrators as some form of justice, it's best you just keep the comment to yourself.

Retards :facepalm:

But... but... okay fine....

I wish them many longs years rotting in a jail cell then! They don't deserve to procreate, they don't deserve to be a part of society, all that they deserve is a windowless 4ftx4ft room.

Cess is censored? You know, like Cess-pool?

I don't know what to say. It's a horrible tragedy.
Things like this make me wince, but sadly, I have long become immune to truly being horrified.

Also, would it be political to say that the Death Penalty only is around in certain states?
Also, I agree with Leydenne.

How am I supposed to play my games with this damn baby crying all the time?

It's a real big deal in S Korea and with more and more internet usage everywhere it's growing. They recognize internet addiction as a real addiction.

I'm glad you see it this way too. While some of you are talking about how you'd like to see this couple executed, knifed, decayed etc, all I really feel for them is sadness. They were obviously sick with their addiction. It is just depressing that they let their lives come to that point.

Threads like this only ever result in pages of screaming "WILL NOBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN" ranting, and in pretty much every case end up with someone getting warned for politics or advocation of violence. Best end it now before someone starts a Facebook group about it.
