    I don't understand how people can make sh*tty, sarcastic comments about somebody's suicide attempt.

    There are some utter cretins on this thread.


    I don't think anyone laughs at suicide RayM. What people express here through a variety of emotions (humour and anger included) is Joe Duffy's handling of this topic in a completely unhelpful, unprofessional, untrained and non-medical based manner.

    because when i accepted that my father didnt want to live anymore,i could accept suicide as a rational response to his feelings... very simple really.

    Suicide was his cure..if people saw it like that...they wouldnt get so uppity about it.

    Why shouldnt everyone not have the right to die a peaceful death?

    I agree entirely with that. If you rang the Samaritans and Joe Duffy was on the other end, the best possible advice would be to hang up immediately. Some people, though, aren't mocking Joe's handling of the topic; they're directly mocking a woman who tried to kill herself. And that's pretty appalling.

    I thought the media would have been all over this story today, including Duffy.. This seems more like the carry on that would have gone on in one of the communist countries that Chairman Joe aligns himself with.. (albeit the journalist wasnt shot)..

    An indignant Jim McGuinness refused to participate in yesterday’s post-match press conference until a journalist was removed from Croke Park’s interview room. In extraordinary scenes, the Donegal manager took his seat only to walk out after noticing This Is Our Year author Declan Bogue was in attendance.

    Choking yourself by hanging and leaving the family to cut you done and clean up your excrement is a peaceful death? Or to deal with the aftermath of someone shooting themselves? (All of which had to be dealt with by close family members of mine)

    I bet Brendan Drumm had lots of great ideas in that book. It's a pity he didn't put them into practice when he was in a position of power. Just like all the retired Garda Commissioners who always seem to have great ideas after they've left their jobs. :rolleyes:

    and the agenda for todays show is finally revealed

    A demand for unlimited mental health resources

    It's not on suckers, we have limited resources, in a very actuarial perspective consider the selfish actions of some as a lightening of the burden for the masses

    'woh is me, wah wah wah you don't know how bad things are for me, wah wah wah, I'm more depressed than you'

    shïtehawks the lot of them

    Alex Ferguson currently has about three or four sports hacks on his presser blacklist and he spent years refusing to talk to Auntie Beeb over a Panorama doc that featured his agent son. Not much was said then by the fourth estate.

    ivy this is the last thing i will address with you ...

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone killing themselves.

    If you dont understand that ,there is no point in talking to you.

    And now that Joe has given his buke a plug, Brendan had better familiarise himself with this classic in case he's on the Show sometime soon

    His crassness, insensitivity and pathetic attempts at humour ar really striking in connection with that womans call.

    The remarks about the dog keeping that woman warm were particularly unhelpful.
