Thats exactly what we are saying, its not experts that are dealing with it though
Is there any point countering this assertion? - Iām quite content if iām being honest.
Thatās 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 iām 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 āexpertsā disagree on alot of things, including suicide.
People should read āBehaveā by Robert Sapolosky. Not finished it yet, but unbelievable stuff.
We havenāt 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 havenāt 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
Donāt 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 didnāt 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.
The second point being that she could recognise when someone was gay but didnāt really know what it meant. When I asked her about this she confirmed my suspicions. And when asked about how she still knew he was gay she said that she had learned about it in school through her pals.
My point is that as a parent I was not expecting to deal with this for another three or four years.
To be fair, Mike from some of your homophobic comments on here, I donāt think youāve ever dealt with this topic properly yourself.
TBF also we all write stuff on here to provoke a reaction
TBF also we all write stuff on here to provoke a reaction
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
Heās more of a man than youāll ever be.
