offense is in the mind of the beholder. this seems to be the jest of the replies to your query. i'm sorry you lost your friend. i believe the only legitimate value to the site would be the offhand chance a person, such as your friend jeremy, would stumble on it while thinking suicide, only to realize the folly of his thought. the site is also the only source of information that many families have as to the hows and whys of jumping off the bridge and the effect it has on those left behind. many have hooked up through the site in an effort to find closure with the selfish act of suicide. remember kids, jumping off the bridge will put you up for ridicule and leave those left behind to deal with your inability to fight your way through life. it's not a way to rid yourself of pain and sorrow, but simply a way to pass your pain and sorrow on to those that know and love you.
