The totally off-topic thread

[Princess Fiona]

Seen enough Facebook stories today where I wish some people would just go and jump.

Is that too harsh to ask of some people?

Nope, it's a bit like that sometimes.
Watching someone carry their son's coffin puts a lot of things into perspective I think

I think that was the most gut wrenching part of the service. The physical and emotional toll would have been enormous.

Abbott government cracks down on bizarre requests for help from Australian travellers

<snip>

There was a recent tv series on Channel 9 called The Embassy showing the staff in the Bangkok embassy dealing with various issues that arose. Frankly some of the people they helped should have their passport cancelled and never be allowed to travel again.

I support Abbott with this initiative. (We can now shut the Internet down!)

Absolutely, it felt very wrong to be watching that on TV.
I think for me (has already been mentioned by kpc) I'm a little surprised that there has been no mention of organ donation. Maybe it did happen but the family have chosen to keep it private.
I don't mean to appear insensitive and apologise in advance to those that find this difficult. I personally believe wholeheartedly that we need to get over our fears and anxieties about this and cannot have too many conversations about it before it's too late to do anything about it.

I am convinced we are meant to suffer. Any joy is a mistake.

Organ donation spin off probably dropped it back.

 

[Buzzard]

Page 3996 for me.

Must have been a few naughty posts as I have gone back to page 999.

Organ donation hive off.

Organ donation hive off.

You mean we donated some posts to another thread?

Mandatory organ donation discussion?

Page 999 @ 40 posts per page (ppp) ...

Page 3996 @ 10 posts per page ...

The ppp is a profile setting.

With this post there are 40 until 40K ... unless there another donation ...
