Former NFL linebacker shot himself in the chest. There are other related incidents, and this may be related to depression causing head injuries. There have been lawsuits before on this issue.

that is sad i feel bad for the family.... if he was going through depression its a very tough time.

Great football player, also a great man.

What a horrible law, who in their sane mind would think that a rapist could get away with his crimes by marrying the VICTIM? Absolutely disgusting.

That is ridiculousness. To think that you can get away with raping someone just by marrying them? Its stupid and unjust, she's getting forced to live with the very person who raped her. Its not right.

I know, where's the fun in that? I'd rather be raped by a stranger.

(KABUL, AFGHANISTAN) - Taliban suicide bombers struck two buses carrying Afghan soldiers in Kabul early Wednesday, killing seven people and wounding 21, just a day after the signing of a key U.S.-Afghan security pact. The long-awaited deal allows U.S.

He ended up waiting until at least one person got close and blew himself up, the officer that was close got thrown back. They have stated that they are not sure if other people were helping him so they will keep looking. I personally think that he didn't want to go to jail for what he had done so he did a suicide bombing.

In the article they say that the bomber pre-setup bombs that explode when people get near them. But the article also said that they thought the bomber was targeting races such as hispanic and african american. I don't understand how the bomber could be targeting a specific race when the bombs were set up ahead of time. The article also mentions that there still might be bombs that he planted before he died, so how can he be targeting a specific race?

They did mention that there could be more bombs but i doubt there is. I think if there are other bombs out there then maybe it was more then a one man job.

One of government's greatest trusts is ensuring the safety of its people. But sometimes you have to protect people from themselves. The U.S. government's latest effort on that front is a blog post patiently explaining that, no, the world will not end this December.

Foolish Payton, Doctor Who has already conclusively proven that all you need to prevent a planet ramming into us is the Doctor and a time lock. Or, alternately, the Doctor and his TARDIS, which can haul the other planet away. Seriously, though, it's extraordinarily sad that people insist on believing this. Something is very wrong when children become sick and suicidal because they believe in the end of the world. For that to happen the parents/guardians must either be encouraging the belief that the world will end, or at least not doing anything to dispel that belief. Very sad.

As far as the Mayan calendar part is concerned, they probably got bored with doing it and wanted to do something else. But I don't remember anyone saying anything about how the Mayans specifically wrote on the calendar, "This is the day the world will end." Also, the day of Doomsday was later changed to sometime in the spring of 2011, or that's when the Rapture was supposed to happen or something. But nothing happened whatsoever. So it's a little surprising to see people still freaking out about how Doomsday is supposedly on December 21st, when nothing happened on that day in 2011. So nothing's going to happen. It's also really sad that some people want to commit suicide because they think the world is going to end.

This is sad. People need to realize that words hurt.

Bullying needs to stop. I dont get why people have to be so rude to others.

Yeah honestly people take words hard cause words do hurt but some people are just so cruel that they dont care what they say to people and they dont think about other people feelings

Sad, why do people have to be so cruel

Bullying is to hard to detect now a days hard to stop

Here at our school, bullying is a big issue when basing it off of what I see on a typical day. There are students and teachers who do their best to prevent it as much as possible, but then there are some who allow it to happen without ever making any sort of attempt to stop it. I do not think that charges should be made against anyone for this case, however. To me it's like throwing a rock at nothing and expecting it to hit something. How would pressing charges do anything? How do you know that doing so would affect the people who had bullied the kid in the first place? Unless there's evidence of who committed the actions, why, and how, then I don't think that suing anyone would be justified. But, I do believe that making and enforcing more rules to target bullying would help decrease it, as well as make people more conscious of how their words and actions affect people.

"(CNN) -- Can cruel words really kill? The answer, unfortunately, is yes. "

To be honest, I see that many people at our own school don't take much or any effort to put an end to bullying. Fights are often being encouraged instead of someone trying to stop it, and it's not hard to come across a post that is negatively directed at another student here. People need to start realizing the impact words and actions make, whether it's verbal or over a text.

No one should ever feel like suicide is there way out. Though bullying is so wrong in many ways how will the bullies be charged? These kind of things are tricky to go about because of people exercising their "freedom to speak." Something has to be done soon before any more lives are taken.

(CNN) -- It was supposed to be the couple's happiest day: Kelly Ecker, a nurse, and Dr. George Scott Samson married Saturday afternoon in Terre Haute, Indiana. By their wedding night, both were dead. Samson, an anesthesiologist at Union Hospital is Terre Haute, shot his bride and then himself in their home just hours after they exchanged vows, authorities said.

What?

Dude that is totally messed up!!!!! I think the police should have arrived with the first call or at least the second call was made, maybe she'd still be alive.

Why do you think this is?

Ew! Crazy drug that is being used hardcore in Russia that basically rots your body inside out. They use it because it is cheaper than heroin but has a similar high.

Honestly, how do people come up with such drugs? Are they that desperate!?

This drug is disgusting. Why would people do this if they know what it is going to do to them? They are pretty much choosing to slowly kill themselves. They know people that have been on it longer and have seen the effects of it, but still choose to use the drug. I understand it is cheaper than heroin, which most of them were addicted to before this drug, but it is so much worse than heroin. Once they start the drug it takes over there lives, between cooking it and putting it in them. They don't get much sleep, if any at all because of it. I think of it as a form of suicide, pretty much.

"China expresses concern and appeals for calm as North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un tells troops to prepare for "all-out war"."

I think that North Korea is bluffing because they dont have enough resources to fight a war. It would be suicide for them to attempt to attack the U.S or other countries in the United Nations.

I hope North Korea is bluffing, With their success in Nuclear Weaponry, you can only take them seriously because we're scared of WWIII or any other type of Nuclear Holocaust. They have the upper hand.

Personally, I support the right to die movement.

I think people should have the right, it's there life.

Very interesting. I believe that if the patient is terminally ill, and has the ability to consciously decide if they want to die, then it is really their choice and no one else's.

Recently the hacker activist group Anonymous used their skills to identify a man that may have been the cause of a recent teen suicide (Amanda Todd). I know the techniques they would have used were illegal, which makes me wonder about how rigid a law system should be.

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/10/16/amanda-todd-anonymous-tormentor-rcmp-scams_n_1971953.html I would like to believe that Anonymous actually is doing some good, but considering that they've never been involved in incidents like this in the past; and there have been many, many similar cases which appear on nationwide news; it seems unlikely.

If North Korea would decide to attack us I feel that they'd be committing suicide. Our Nuclear Power is a lot stronger than that of North Korea. I feel we would destroy them.

This might cause a chain reaction or retaliation from the United states, maybe resulting in other countries getting involved. It would be a mess.

Why result in millions dead whats the cause? Its the little guy syndrome for North Korea. They have had threats for over 4 years towards us with nukes.

The death penalty scares me, I have watched movies where they kill people this way and it is cruel. I don't think anyone should be put to death if they are in prison for a crime I think they should do their time. They should sit and rot in prison for the rest of their life, but they are in prison for killing, etc...and then we do the same to them, I don't get it.

I think we need stay out of overseas activities like this. It doesn't matter if we did everything legally, it's still wrong.

i dont think anyone should go on death row i think they should give them a life sentence and be kept alive that way they feel guilty later on about what they've done and little by little they'll start going crazy and eventually try suicide because they wont want to be locked up forever but the cops wont let them hurt themselves so then they'll be getting even more crazy go psycho probably.....its like self torture for them:)

"Most Americans want to die peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones, not die in agony in a hospital," she said. "I feel the same way. If my cancer returns and I face intolerable suffering, I want the option to cut it short, and to die peacefully at home."

Kano, Nigeria (CNN) -- At least 47 people were killed and 79 were wounded Monday by a suicide bombing outside a school in northern Nigeria, police said. The attacker was disguised as a student when he set off the explosion in a government boarding school in the town of Potiskum, police spokesman Emanuel Ojukwu said.

This makes me wonder what I would do if I was an immigrant losing that protected status; go back to a country that is deadly or stay here illegally?

If I was an immigrant and put in this position I would stay here illegally in America because I value my life and I disagree with sending all these people back to their deaths, there needs to be another way.

I think this is horrible and the Russian had something definitely wrong with his head to set off 2 bombs in 2 different places. My question is why? what was his motive?

Why do people do this kind of stuff?

I'm curious if this is linked to a specific terrorist group or not. They say the culprit has ties to Kyrgstan, but no terrorist groups have come forward to claim responsibility yet.
