The real problem with the budget cuts

[Fran Tick]

In fact, it's probably quite the opposite. Somebody who makes that decision and takes that step often does so because to them, it's the best, or perhaps the only thing that can do. They actually think it's a selfless act and that everybody, and the world, would be better off without them. People in this position don't view things clearly.

If somebody who was about to do this was granted just 2 mins of clarity, to view things as they actually were, taking everything into account, thinking about the consequences of the actions they were about to take and how it would effect everybody, they would come to a very different decision. Sadly, somebody in this frame of mind is rarely granted this moment of clarity....

It is with this in mind, that we should always be careful not to be to quick to judge other. We rarely know what's really going on in someone else’s life or mind. Even the ones closest to us. If someone has a deep feeling of worthlessness, and this is constantly in their mind, even though it's not true, being told this by someone else can have a deep and profound affect on this person.......

Be nice to each other, particularly in these tough times. A smile and a nice word, even a hello, can change a persons life............

You could change somebody from this to this today without much effort............

Give it a go..............

I alway's feel very very sad when I read or hear about suicide.

It take me back to the 4th May 2008 when my cousin hanged himself. 32, wife and 2 young children. He was severely depressed for years and had an alcohol problem, the warning signs were there. I tried to help him but was unable to do. I think he had made up his mind.

I shall never forget that whole period around his death. The anguish of his wife, his parents, his sister, thankfully his two children were too young to understand.

It was wrong of me to call you both fucking halfwits, you're probably something else completely........

And by the way, what a lovely method of balancing your argument you set across...

You have the debating skill of a dictator.

(Is this where I say...and before you start - fuck off in advance!?)

quite the compasionate lady..

But please explain this to me. Why, after 10 serious posts in this thread, which I consider to be a serious subject, would you both reply to Taylors posts with the above reply???

Blankmann, you have refered to this lady as having the debating skills of a dictator, and then Ploy comments on her compasion............

And you question my reaction to this???

PS - There'll be no PM's, they seem to be less private these days anyway.........

well Luther.....if you refuse to apologise, I'll just have to show everyone how easy I made it for you to put this behind us....



subject : let's call the whole thing off

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

damn Luther,


I just want to be friends. I get on with most of the other moderators, but you just don't like me, do you?

There you are, calling me names, getting in the way of a good debate. I am not liable for not knowing the history of each and every member of this forum, if I offend them (honestly unintentionally) then I will apologise and move on. You can see that in any of the PM's I have sent.

I suggest you suck it up and do the same, so I'm offering you the opportunity to save some face and put this behind us.

Friends?

Maybe you'd like to go back and read my last post and title again..........

I have no problem dealing with this on the public forum...............

so you stand by calling me a 'fucking halfwit'???

and of course you don't mind airing your laundry in public, you clearly lack any kind of class or humility.


I however will drop this here, it will only become boring for the forum


I apologise to everyone (including Luther) for any time wasted reading this drivel, when it could have all been put to bed with a simple apology from the peacekeeper himself

Evaluate the following and find x (10 marks) ;

.5wit = x

x = halfwit.

This i why I for 1 have a love hate relationship with this forum, A serious topic starts out and probably because of our sometimes lack of vocabulary we are prone to end up slagging each other off od going a mile off topic and end up calling each other fukin wanker and the like, so from the outside looking in anyone not involved will come away with that view. Carlos being a notable exception to this. Maybe this is not a good forum to have a serious discussion about such a topic as the killing yourself and all of the awfull stuff that ensues. Maybe we are better off and better at just keeping it simple, like which escorts got the nicest ass and stuff. Anyone who has been affected by the tragic event must wonder about the charracter of their fellow punter when we self destruct in forum.

i actually thought that what she was referring to lacked compassion for the person who had commited the act, and then the fuck off in advance was the icing on the cake.. it was my opinion, and it wasnt offensive.. so i am entitled to post it.. much as she is obviously entitled to tell everyone to fuck off in advance..

[blankmannn]

rare you see 'PeaceKeepers' attacking people for no reason.....he obviously has a personal agenda....


was hilarious seeing him lose his head like that though, he's got it in for you in a big way ploy

im not going to be bullied or insulted by him.. as i said, its amazing he is still a moderator, i havent seen any of the other moderators insulting or launching personal attacks on members of this forum, yet Luther seems to get away with it with total impunity..
