If I only Twitter and Facebook, I'm missing out on something vital to being human and Christian. Easy to hide behind a laptop and social networks...

Staying with the gun analogy, if everyone that tried to kill with a knife instead of a gun, the intent would have still been there but many less people would be dead. It is just harder to kill with a knife than a guy. I think that is the same as what is going on here. Yes you have always been able to withdraw from society, but modern tools make it much easier to do that. I agree.

People have always had ways to withdraw themselves from meaningful real world relationships if they want to- whether that be the internet, running away or shutting oneself in a closet. You could also make the opposite argument about the internet and suicide and argue that it can be beneficial to at risk people by providing them with more ways to reach out for help.

Which I guess can lead one to the ultimate selfish act. As with the gun do we blame it - no we don't as even in a world without guns / social media people would still kill and take their own lives.
