Yes, people committed suicide all the time back then. The most popular reason was that if you screwed up, your family could be held accountable for your actions and executed. If you committed seppuku, legally nobody could touch your family without expecting punishment. It was a valid choice that people made, and someone doesn't have to be mentally ill to want to protect their family, no matter the cost.

You don't know what Satanism is, do you? It's a legitimate religion, and often has little to nothing to do with the worshiping satan (the "satan" in the name "satanism" is a metaphor for social taboos, and how they should be questioned. The figure of satan is something they admire, kind of like a patron saint, but they don't religiously worship him). The majority of Satanists are non-violent. Look up Aleister Crowley sometime.

Pasted from the very link I sent you. It even uses the word 'expects'  |
That only works if what Chula posted was incorrect. And all he posted were actual scientific examples of the roots of suicidal tendencies, and a valid definition of suicide. And instead of actually reading them, you insulted him for bringing up scientific sources.
Hell, if you want an example of someone choosing to end their life, you don't even have to leave the website.
