    that makes no sense - we're talking about his actions, not those of the people who talked him down.

    As for your second point, clearly I'm not "over the edge", but neither are all the other struggling people, or the smoke from Kildare Street would be visible from space.


    we were talking about his action... but i was referring to the way you disregard what happened outside Leinster house as "emotional blackmail "

    why because somebody managed to talk him down and stop him from taking his own life? oh yes...he clearly discredited himself there!!

    obviously the recession hasnt effected you enough to push you over the edge.... think of the people out there that require medical care and cant afford it.. or those who lost their jobs and cant pay there mortgage...or how about those people who cant afford to heat there house or feed themselves.

    Now you are blaming the recession for underlying mental illness.
    This sort of thing should be treated as it is, a mental health issue.

    It is almost as if you thought suicide was a legitimate form of protest for a sane person. Do you want policy shaped by lemmings?
