<p>DAMN EMO'S!!11!!</p>
<p>well I think it's true, and I think someone may have hacked into his acct which explains the last login and stuff. I mean, even if it was a joke, what would he be doing, hiding somewhere while a bunch of his friends and relatives leave him comments about missing him, and just sit there laughing, like "YES look now everyone is commenting about how great I was"</p>
<p>That doesn't even make sense, I really don't think this is fake.</p>
<p>And for facebook, I'm not saying either is better, but don't you need to be enrolled in college to have an acct? Myspace is free, for anyone from whatever age, and you don't have to be in a certain college or high school to use it.</p>
<p>Anyway this dude may have had a lot of friends, but they said he attempted this before and people who commit suicide can be the most unexpected people to do it .. . an outsider might say "man this person has great friends, he wouldn't ever dare kill himself" and then bam, he's gone. And this josh guy was already kinda.. ya know.. "you BROKE my LIFE" so maybe even more prone to killing</p>
<p>Anyway it's sad, but people are getting too selfish anyway, even myself..i mean you dont see the starving african kid with no meat on his bones killing himself, they struggle to survive..a lot of people still complain nowadays yet they have it easier than a whole lot of other people, its crazy.</p>
<p>"According to his words, Josh loved "girls who cry"; was married; was 8 feet, 11 inches tall and made $250,000 a year or more. Josh was a smartass. He posted self-portraits that featured him at his emo-kid best: shaggy hair, pouting lips, intentionally blank expression. He posted an ad for a clothing company called Emo Police that featured a man hanging from the P." </p>
<p>weird</p>
<p>facebook is for high schooolers too</p>
<p>This guy has it right:

He's just as pathetic as everyone attempting to back him up. The arguments "you don't know him" and "you don't know what his life was like" is ridiculous, equally as ridiculous as the final plea for attention he made by posting a suicide note for the general public to see.</p>
<p>This is what he wanted, he clearly wasn't gaining any special attention with his persona, and went to the final length to leave his mark on society, which is what every "emo" kid complains about not being able to do, right? Not to say he killed himself for attention, because how can you receive and acknowledge attention when you're dead. He clearly had social problems, and probably wasn't living the same life that those contradictive emo artists live on a daily basis, screaming "why me" for the masses while rolling around in piles of cash. But that's not a reason for someone to end their life.</p>
<p>I have no sympathy for people who do stuff like this, no matter how bad you may think your life is, there's always something worse going on in the world. Turn to the middle east, and the daily genocides going on in places unknown to the public because it's not "breaking news". Look at yourselves, people, look at how much we have as it is. Do we really have the right to cry about having a worthless life at all?</p>
<p>He had no cause for what he did, he sure as hell shouldn't have posted it on myspace or any other public area like a blog, but that just shows that he was doing it so that we would discuss it like this. But you people sure as hell don't have the right to defend someone who clearly, by his actions, was not the mistaken, misunderstood, innocent guy you all claim him to be.

<p>Ehhh they separate the high schoolers from the college people on facebook. Myspace freaks me out. I thought the messages on a girl who was hit by a campus bus on our campus were weird but if this is true it takes it to a whole new level. Her wall became a eulogy of sorts and it was a nice gesture, it just kind of freaked me out. Scary. It will always be up never to be taken down or something. That's just creepy.</p>
<p>I don't prefer facebook from an elitist point of view. I prefer it because:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>There really aren't any of these "emo kids" on facebook. They're pretty rare if not almost nonexistent in college.</p></li>
<li><p>You don't get added as a friend by just ANYONE. It's usually people you know personally or have at least met in person before. All of my friends on facebook are people I know.</p></li>
<li><p>Only students at your college and your friends can view your profile at facebook.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>So wait, is he dead or not?</p>
<p>The YTMND's about him are pretty funny though, even if it is poking fun at a possibly dead kid. It's rather tragic that he killed himself and left a suicide note on an internet site...</p>
<p>Gospy, I agree. </p>
<p>This is ridiculous.</p>
<p>yeah the guy who killed his girlfriends parents in PA a while back, he has a myspace and its actually quite funny what comments he gets from people now..haha.
anyway, and that guy on the indian reservation in one of the dakotas...jeff weise or something...his livejournal is still up, i believe, but he won't be updating anytime soon...after killing people at his school and also himself. slight obstacle.</p>
<p>dude im telling you, the guy is probably not even dead...prob just wanted the attention and a laugh...i mean look at all of us going on about it...then again, if he really did die, that would, um, suck.</p>
<p>and no fair calling suicide the easy way out. if you're suicidal then you need help. you're not strong and you need help. dont call suicides weak. im not admiring them, im just saying, people have emotional illnesses and those are just as serious and chronic as physical ones. people dont kill themselves bc of some inherent inferiority, they are ill and in need of help. attitudes like that hurt people.</p>
<p>I agree completely with Gospy.</p>
<p>I have no sympathy at all for this kid. While death is always bad, the world doesn't need people that will kill themselves despite everything they have.</p>
<p>The only time a person should feel sad or depressed is if they have experienced a great loss or something similar (there are exceptions... post partum is caused by hormonal changes). Clinical depression can be a problem, but it's not only a physiological/"chemical imbalance" problem. Many times, it is caused by a person's less-than-ideal lifestyle beforehand (I don't even mean drugs... bad handling of relationships can be just as significant) and it's amplified by their inability to try and improve things.</p>
<p>look at some of the messages...............***.</p>
<p>OMG...wow...</p>
<p>This kid had a very good life prior to his suicide. I mean, cmon he has enough free time for a Myspace blog. Why should he be whining? How many children die of starvation, diseases, etc. And this kid wastes his life like this.</p>
<p>Pathetic.</p>
<p>He was probably dumped by his gf and none of his friends were there to console him. Suicide is weak man, weak. I'm sure there are MILLIONS of people worse off than he is</p>
<p>MILLIONS??????</p>
<p>Try BILLIONS</p>
<p>im sure he probably felt bad for a long time not just over some dumb high school stuff. and my roommate grew up with that guy who killed his girlfriends parents and said he was such an ideal student and a good person. i wonder what pushes people to break.</p>
<p>As people have said above me, suicide is for the weak. You don't see people from poverty-stricken societies (jn third-world countries) committing suicides just because they're living a less-than-ideal lifestyle. They struggle everyday to survive into the next. It's quite sad how teenagers have even become materialistic about their own lives.</p>
<p>Wow, what a nice group you are..."suicide is for the weak" is a very uniformed thing to say</p>
<p>I know of a girl who killed her self last year, she sent out all kinds of signals that she was going to take her life, this myspace kid did to, but people didn't take them seriouslly enough</p>
<p>Don't be so quick to judge- all kinds of things can cause depression </p>
<p>Take threats seriously, teens don't think of the finality of their actions</p>
