That was on purpose to see how people would respond. As you can see, a lot of people answered "yes" to all questions.

There are many extremely successful people who received bad grades at some point in their lives and went on to great achievements. Einstein. Many celebrities in music, acting, etc. have such backgrounds.
Yes, and I include myself in that group.

Suicides can be done for any variety of reasons. It depends a lot on the circumstances/culture/time period, etc. Think Masada. Marilyn Monroe.
I agree. It could be because of drugs, alcoholism, gambling debts etc.. Do they bear any responsibility for starting down those roads in the first place?

There are various speed traps in Florida where you might be going two miles over the limit and get a ticket because that is the way that community's funds are boosted.
I always watch my speed very carefully.

It is hard to know the whole story about many people so I find it had to be judgmental especially considering how fallible our knowledge of the facts can be. All those defendants cleared by DNA testing often because of the game like nature of our legal system and the egos involved.
I guess that's a "no" to all 6 questions? That's fine, I'm not going to be judgemental.
