Not enough of either nowadays, but what's better to inflict/suffer? IMHO a culture of guilt leads to solipsism while a culture of shame leads to conformity and stagnation but what's your take?

Also - out of 'guilt' vs 'shame', what's a more likely/defensible reason for suicide?

Come on, it appears from the board that a few of you are drunks, so you must have a passing acquaintance with this subject!

Surely drunks have no shame?

Shame! Shame! It's so obvious, as a Catholic, that shame is good and guilt is unbearable. What are you, Church of England?
