Suicide

Thats exactly what we are saying, its not experts that are dealing with it though

Is there any point countering this assertion? - Iā€™m quite content if iā€™m being honest.

Thatā€™s because despite all the discussion about it, I guarantee you, there is no such thing as an expert on suicide. Why?

Because people commit suicide for a plethora of different reasons ranging from what may seem like an innocent enough reason right up to the downright selfish ones and everything in between.

Ya iā€™m not sure about that. Neuroscience is making incredible progress. Science, hard science, will largely replace the soft sciences in time. Its already started. And what i can gather the ā€œexpertsā€ disagree on alot of things, including suicide.

People should read ā€œBehaveā€ by Robert Sapolosky. Not finished it yet, but unbelievable stuff.

We havenā€™t a clue what we are doing.

Is Kev a nanny?

No surprise that you have nothing to add to an intellectual discussion but still want in on the act.

I love the way you expose yourself continually when thinking you are smart/funny.

Do you think the way that homosexuality was dealt with during your time as a teen was better?

It was illegal to engage in same sex activity until 1993 remember

I havenā€™t exposed myself in a long time and it was involuntary, my swimming togs were pulled down in a swimming pool in Bundoran when I was 15.

What did you do before 93 pal?

Is that the real reason you cannot get a woman?

These things can spread quickly.

Yeah I found that odd as well in an otherwise good post. I think knowing that some people are gay and accepting that is a much better way of dealing with it than just ignoring it until your late teens

Donā€™t catch you.

I dont think the issue of sexual orientation was dealt with at all tbh Fran. As you say homosexuality was illegal and by default didnā€™t need to be dealt with. This despite the fact that the outbreak of the Aids epidemic in the early eighties should have made sure that sexual orientation was encompassed into whatever little education we were given.

Sexual education is certainly more detailed today then it was back then and it certainly happens at an earlier age.

Are they taught about rusty trumpets today, kid?

I do not know if there is a technical lesson into how the figs are gotten into the fig rolls. But certainly there is an awareness now there.

To be fair, Mike from some of your homophobic comments on here, I donā€™t think youā€™ve ever dealt with this topic properly yourself.

you are a vile person if you are using homophobia to provoke a reaction

You have used stories or suggestions of violence, suicide, rape, paedophillia, war, stats, lies, anecdotes, cruelty etc under many different aliases.

I think you should step back from the moral position you want to be in there fella
