2day fm prank

[mightyrooster]

Personally I hate those prank phone calls which just aim to get a cheap laugh out of some poor sod.

As for the nurse I too feel there must have been something else going on in her life apart from the prank call which led her to suicide but as I did not know her I can only speculate like the rest of us.

And as for suicide victims having weak personalities, well that goes without saying BUT it doesn't make them less of a person. Some people cope better under stress than others. A very few can't cope at all. I know I feel very strongly that I could never abandon my two kids like that. But there are some people who simply cannot cope with stress or turmoil and these people need help rather than being labelled weak.

In between the time I left school and the time I was 20, I had 3 mates commit suicide.

I stood there at my mates funeral and watched his mum jump in his grave and refuse to leave it after they lowered him in.

I love those boys but it doesn't change the fact that they were weak, selfish ****s.

You're not the only one with stories, rwb. Just because we don't tell them every 5 minutes like you do, don't assume what another person has been through.

As for your claims of me speaking vulgar to you, If that's what you call vulgar you really are the biggest fuddy duddy around.

I may aswell pull out the good stuff if you're calling me vulgar over that tame shite!

G'day Greeds. I have to say I am surprised anyone could criticise these posts of yours. I think they are thoughtful, reasonable and heartfelt. Like you say everyone here probably has some story about depression and/or suicide. I can only imagine how horrible it must have been to watch your mate's families bury your mates. Like you I also think that suicide is a very complex issue and also ultimately a very selfish choice to make. Anyway, thanks for your post and I'm sure it wasn't lost on everyone.

BTW - I also can't stand the radio and dopey 2DayFM style DJ's but ...
