Does Bressie have a problem with US Multinationals?

Not when they hire him to give a talk.

Sort of, except I’m better looking and have written better songs.

Aussie rugby player Dan Vickerman has taken his own life

Oddly not even being reported as a suicide. Alan Quinlan summed it up for me

A shocking number of suicides in Laois this year already, fucking awful devastation.

what the fuck would quinlan know about it?

Is it relevant, he’s not wrong.

He’s only a tramp.

Is he wrong?

Yes.

Does he know the guy personally?

Most likely, he played against him.

Again, irrelevant, I believe it does no good to continue to fail to report suicide as what it is.

he doesnt know it was suicide

i assume the media have protocols in regards to what to report to prevent contagion

If it proves to be the case, we’ll revisit this. In the meantime, I’m happy to leave it be.

The reason suicides are generally not reported as such are that it can lead to an increased number of suicides. Its why suicides tend to happen in clusters. http://www.samaritans.org/media-centre/media-guidelines-reporting-suicide/suicide-reporting-10-things-remember

That’s happening as it is.

Life insurance companies wont pay out either.

I don’t think that is true unless policy taken out within 24 months of the death or failure to declare any mental or other health issues when policy taken out

Maybe because they don’t know they err on side of caution but unless an overdose or car accident then suicide will be obvious

Correct

Natural selection at work here.
