Not really. I'm sure if you think not very hard for not very long you could come up with something that hasn't been argued about here.

We've never argued that because that is wrong. Golden triangles are isosceles, thus cannot be inferior to scalene triangles.

The intent is for "accidental" to modify the word "suicide" to create a new term. It is not describing an event. So perhaps my construction is off, but the logical argument is valid--I just began with the wrong building blocks.

I suppose the best term would actually be "accidental pseudo-suicide." That is to say, an event that fails to meet the criteria of suicide, but nearly does so, and occurred by accident.

Though there are theories of linguistics that hold that adjectives actually act by modifying definitions. They earn some legitimate support, in solving linguistic issues other theories retain. But they also have other issues, specifically with adjectives that, by definition, reaffirm definitions. For instance, "genuine." A genuine window is an object that... is actually a window. There has been no redefining of the noun, yet the adj makes sense.

Though the response to that worry is usually that these words are actually erroneous, and are used to mark the confidence of the speaker, rather than actually describe the noun in any way.

And this is why I stopped taking linguistics classes. lol

Yeah, except, they have a word for what you're talking about. It's called an accident, or accidental death, if you will. There's abosultely no reason to put "accidental" in front of "suicide." It makes no sense. There's no reason for it.

That's just stupid. There are, quite literally, billions of them.

Pretty much shows that Managment and the owners of the company are only concerned with their profits over their employees welfare.

No shit. What the fuck did you think they manufactured in China for in the first place?

If the suicide rate of workers at the company is actually particularly high, then the families might be able to make a damages case against them.

Part of me is wondering if this actually may be due to some sort of pathogen, not just the working environment. I mean, I doubt the factories are any worse than many other equally crappy jobs you could have in China.

Well, San Francisco isn't. They're all left over from the 1800's, waiting to lay the high speed railroads of today.

Possibly, but the working environment for the working class Chinese is killing them anyway, and it isn't surprising it makes people suicidally depressed.

Factory work pays better than farming. But typical factory work involves 16-18 hours a day (not 14) 7 days a week, 365 days a year, no sick days a year. Any factory worker who does take an hour off can easily be replaced. The common modern Chinese factory worker dies under the age of 30, from overwork.

Don't have to pay back if no one is around to receive the money.
