  Does anyone know enough Japanese to call one of these numbers? They're suicide hotlines in Japan. Any threat like this should be taken seriously! http://www.suicide.org/hotlines/international/japan-suicide-hotlines.html http://www.suicide.org/hotlines/international/japan-suicide-... +81 (0) 3 5286 9090 +81 (0) 6 4395 4343

    You people all suck. This thread exemplifies what's wrong with hacker news and why your start-ups fail, and will continue to fail. You're discussing this man's LIFE as he cries out for help and you do nothing. You take no initiative, only perform cynical analysis. You're happier talking than doing. You miss the point and get caught up in details. You know what? I did my best here, and called an English speaking suicide hotline in Japan, but they're unable to contact people, they only can take anonymous calls. I gave all their information and information on Japanese language lines to Tetsuya via email. If anyone can speak Japanese, please try to contact someone who can reach out to Tetsuya in person, and leave a message here to coordinate. Restore my faith that the hacker news community is more than a collection of professional bullshitters. Help Tetsuya.

      What the hell are you talking about? These people are trying to get information in order to do something, jackass.
