Well I guess that is your opinion on it and you aren't about to change it ^_^
However your "true colours" are shown by such statements and thus its harder to find the popularity you seek
(cept amongst the weak minded who couldn't care less either.)

personally, i find it more admirable when someone is able too forsake his own life for that of others~
(killing yourself so that everyone else can feel better; the idea of seppuku, lol)
as opposed too those who beg like dogs and forsake everything else in the world just soo that they can live~ >.>'
*of course, everything is circumstantial, and thus debatable, lol*

Sure it's admirable and whatnot but Sepukku is a bit more easily attainable than say, going in to rescue a baby from a burning house and dying in the process. I don't think it helps people that would be close to the suicidee much either.
Most of the times, if there is any humilliation, it'll be deserved. That person will just have to bear it because it is a part of life.
Personally, my rebellious streak doesn't allow me to throw my life away for the appeasement of others
On a side note, it can only be imagined, how many times a person with power in Ancient Japan may have used the idea of Sepukku to his/her advantage.
