In my opinion, unfortunately it does. See how many people post and share bullshit (especially pseudo-scientific and pseudo-history stuff) on internet forums and social networks like Facebook and Twitter, and they really believe in those BS stuff.

hahaha well im not the cleverest of men :P In all seriousness though, I believe the internet makes us stupid, ironically enough, but because it gives us a connection to other people. In theory its a good idea, but I believe its more of a "mob mentality" kind of thing, it unites yet destroys us. Absolutely agree with you! You know, I was so because my girlfriend had left me, so I was even thought about a suicide. Recently Elizabeth made an invitation to 'Arktos'. At the first I was struggle thinking it wouldn't be much help for me, but now I really appreciate her care because she almost saved my life... So, I really, really agree with you about unioning is a better function of I-net! (*_*) Honor suicide? You're not Chinese or Japanese.

No, I'm a Ukranian which means most european but less mongolian. Honor suicide souns good for me!.. But too pity I'm not a ninja or Lin-Kuei warrior. :(

Suicide is not a way to end anything. To put it to language you speak, its in contraposition with you being a Slav

I understand, we had what you do now during whole decade in the 90's and somewhat in early 2000's. However you can't allow that to distract you, scare you or put you in depression.

People are different! Those who are richer still can bear it .. the rest is gone! Any slightest shock worsens the depression in the country..

To put it to language you speak, its in contraposition with you being a Slav Thank you very much for your words! But I think there's something misconfusionable things presented here. What do I mean, I see a lot of people in our country trying to leave their houses looking for a job aboard - I wanted to say - outside borders. But people mostly won't give up. I'd say that depression not spreading much. I'd rather people try to work harder than wish to conmit a suicide. I think differently. I honor desperation and think suicide is a great! ..I know it sounds mad or it sounds like I am gone crazy... but it is not so. Imagine if we would live in 18th in Japan Empire following samurai codex (list of rules I mean). We would never be upset if we had to commit a suicide, vice versa - we would be happy! So, badness of suicide is nothing more but modern rumors and superstitions. In present days there are lots of rumors too just they're scientific rumors. But does it make any differences? Yesterday Europe and USA persuaded everyone that Christianity is good and put it by making crusades or burning witches. Now they say that Christianity is nothing but nothing (or even dangerous, like Sam Harris told, for example), and science is great. Will I be surprised if tomorrow they be saying that science is gibberish? I think I won't. Because it's all about mentality not righteousness or wrongness. So, suicide is not less honorable as Neil Armstring's steps... .... I was joking! ('_')... Surely, there is nothing good in suicide and I, maybe the one, object all kind of suicide. Why am I blaiming suicide? Because of its useless! If a man had decided to commit a suicide, so he should something good first, and what is the difference of killing by himself or otherself? In this case he'd better to become a test example for scientists, and it would be better for everyone!

It's also because they can say and do whatever thinking they can hide behind a screen.

Actually using real identity makes some people overconfident and more delusional. Another thing is popularity. For some people: the more popular, the more bullshit. This happens when they have considerable number of followers/friends and received likes. And nobody usually debate with them so they post anything the want because there are always some fanboys and followers who upvote and share those stuff.

If you have no challenges or hard times in life then you will never learn and grow mentally or physically in order to adapt to this world. The world brings happines and pain and we must take it all one day at a time to rise to what we are meant to be in life and fulfil what we are here to do. A suicide only brings unneeded pain to those who care for you and need you. Don't hurt yourself or us please.

The internet does NOT make people dumb. Not in the slightest.
People have been just as stupid before as they are now - the only difference is the internet gives them an outlet to show their stupidity, the internet hands down doesn't make you less intelligent, it just lets people spread around what intellect (or lack of) for all to see, which of course means we're going to be seeing a lot more stupidity due to it. Media isn't making people stupid! It may be misinforming them sure, there are plenty of scams too, things where tabloids and newspapers blow stuff out of proportion - and the less intelligent people won't think to run background checks on it they simply believe it because it told them so, that didn't make them stupid, it only worked because they weren't that smart in the first place.
The internet, media, all that lot, definitely not making people stupid not at all. We're only just seeing just how petty, idiotic and immature the majority of the population is, that is all.
