Damn right it's disgraceful; he wrote 'voodoo' when he meant 'taboo'. I blame the deplorable standard that out education system has sunk to.

yep, the in education system is much better ...

Sorry taboo does that help

Grammatically, yes. Philosophically, no.

Dols has a point. Suicide should be talked about - not shut off like it doesn't exist.

There is a rapidly growing school of thought that that is the case.

That is not a comment on this situation, though.

Sh!t comment regarding the situation

The topic should not be taboo, but really, time, place and context.

That comment encourages those who think suicide should hidden and never discussed.

So when is a good time to discuss Armytank?

Yes. Let's look after the guy who stole a large amount of money and once caught tries to take the easy way out. Don't press charges either so he can do it again one day. Steal 100k and no criminal record. If he did it again somewhere else, the next victim should be able to sue the wafc.

I don't think after the fact with specific reference to one person's situation that we really know nothing about. Too often we talk about suicide after the fact, and in relation to specific circumstances. By then it is too late, we have failed those that need us most and we continue to fail them by discussing it from an isolated and dislocated point of view.

The right time is to discuss suicide is in an open forum such as this in a way that helps people understand the warning signs of depression for both themselves and those around them.

It is an illness that can't be seen that affects people all around us. I don't believe it should be discussed as a differentiator, something that isolates those affected by mental illness from the rest of us.

I am not suggesting Dols is a sh!t human for the comment, infact the comment indicates an awarness that suicide needs to be discussed more.

I just think the execution of the discussion needs careful consideration, that is all.

Now that is just plain ignorance.

At no stage is suicide the easy way out and that opinion shows you know nothing about mental illness,

sure talk about it i agree but not when when it involves trashing the privacy of an indivdual who is reasonably well known around the place.

the comment was atrocious, and potentially very damaging.

I'm sure any company hiring into similar positions would be doing due diligence. Also...Adelaide's a small place and business people would know.
