JWLEAKS - THANKS! What an insane article. A good example of the crazy logic and poor writing that is SOP.
FROM THE ARTICLE with my comments added.
Retirement and physical illness are also major triggering factors, especially among the elderly. Often suicide is chosen as a way out, ( REALLY OFTEN? IT HAPPENS A LOT? OFTEN MEANS A LOT!!!) not necessarily when an illness is terminal, but when the patient views the suffering as intolerable.
However, not everybody reacts to these triggering events by committing suicide. (REALLY NOT EVERYONE? BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN LIVING ON MARS SO I THOUGHT I WAS NORMAL FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS ECONOMIC STRESS OR IS OLD JUST KILLS THEMSELVES - THANK FOR THE INSIGHT!)
What kind of article is this? This type of writing could NEVER appear in any credible journal - let alone a High School Language Arts assignment! I HATE THE WT!
