I'm just wondering if these can all be confirmed? It just seems like alot of these are quite out there, choking on your tongue after peircing, multiple train accidents? I guess they are because people are mentioning actual news stories, but they seem very odd for the most part.
I find this site quite disturbing for the most part and most discussion leading from it not vvery redeeming. People should listen to Clark when he says something at the beginning of a thread.

Well, given that the primary age group in MySpace, Livejournal and the like is gonna be 15-25, these people aren't having heart attacks or dying of old age. I know that suicide is the 3rd highest cause of death, and I think car accidents are number one, if anyone can find a comprehensive list, that'd be awesome, I looked but came up short. Anyway, my point is that these people are dying in weird ways because that's how young people tend to die.

It's true. I've read that for some segments of that age group, suicide is the #1 cause of death, which is often cited when talking about teen suicide to make it sound like an epidemic. It isn't. It's just that teenagers very rarely die -- heck they're in rip roaring strength and health. So if they go, it's almost always something different from the health-related stuff most people die of.
