Where are we heading as a nation? This is pathetic. I think all religious leaders also should intervene. I feel this is due to lack of religious knowledge too.

well, i think it's true for the horton plac guy. if it is not a political stunt, it's even worse. it only brings out the truth that people now have no one to go to for security, whereas in my personal experience, God would enter for a "believer". of course whether this security is true or not, is a different and seperate question. But how long can a false belief stand? So agree to an extent, with robinson.

A person commits suicide, and you people write sarcastic comments. It just goes to show what narrow minded people you really are... Disgraceful!

Totally agree with you Sisira, only this victim will know what 'this father of two' went thru at the time he committed it. It is indeed disgraceful.
