It can be annoying but all you have to do is switch on your brain and think critically. And I agree with warrior on "today tonight" I can't stand the amount of pathos they use in their program, it's ridiculous.

You asked why people are sad when people are murdered. The answer is empathy. You obviously didn't feel any or you wouldn't have asked. :wall: Anyway, I'm not saying it doesn't exist in you what so ever. I'm just saying have a little respect for the families that this has happened to if anything. Their hearts are already breaking, yet alone perhaps stumbling across an opinion like yours who doesn't give a damn. One day something like this is going to happen to someone you know, you're going to turn to someone and they're not going to care. And when that moment happens (yes it's happened to me too) you're going to feel dumb struck and just stand there and go "OH.." If you don't care then surely it's not worth your energy posting that you don't care.

The sooner you get over the "ME ME ME" syndrome, the better. Because it's an amazing ability to have empathy for other people other than ourselves. Perhaps you should learn it some day. By the way he didn't dress as the joker, he dressed as a clown. But for arguments sake it's pretty much the same thing. I agree with Sumpta 100%, pretty much the first words that came out of my mouth when I saw the report. There are mentally unstable people all around the community. Pretty stupid to have a childcare center near a psychiatric ward anyway. Same as having a ward across from Westfields, in Brisbane. I remember raising money for Oxfam there a few years ago and shook the hands of someone who told me he just stabbed himself :thumbup:

One for Zonorhc (missed you :P) To Om nom nom nom or not to Om nom nom nom, that is the question ;)

Wait you two know each other? That's awesome. Good photo job and good trick. Talented ladies!!

Good on you sometimes people piss us off so much that we do say things, and I wouldn't take it back if I was in your situation either. Sometimes it needs to be said, even if in the heat of the moment.

Right... because of course I read everything correctly the first time through on all occasions... :roll: pmsl @ Sumpta hello darling, good to see you here!! and thank you

If you need to do something to "fit in" then you were never accepted by your "friends" to begin with. Your friends will hear you say no once only and not ask again.

Left all the dishes in the sink for Brent to do and leaving him with the baby. Oh how I love trading places for a day. Now to give my cousin the whole "don't come around, unless you ask first" speech. I'm getting sick of her turning up at my door without being invited and trying on my clothes, borrowing my make up or trashing my house. We are going out tonight but she just invited herself around on msn and went offline. She pisses me off sometimes. But I still love her.

Warrior!! You're needed!! :P

^^ :shock: The breed must be rich :lol: gold digger puppies :P EDIT: Ohhh CRAP reb said "to eradicate all small talk" not erection.

Unfortunately that's the way life works. I'm not going to be a part of that population though. I realize the part of her that made her act irrationally is a part of her that I don't like. I don't agree that it was an accident though. Clouded judgment sure, but not accidental. Accidental would be carrying the child and slipping on a wet floor, resulting in the infants death. The child is not a lost cause. People create history and path way for future generations whether they are alive or dead. In the eyes of the law, she killed a child, with clouded judgment and therefore, is a murderer. I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that the baby is "replaceable". I would love to see your face if you lost your child and someone said "oh they're replaceable!" (I wouldn't really wish that upon anyone. It's just a figure of speech). Just to give you an idea, I'd rather be DEAD than have to go through the grief of losing my little one. You won't know what it feels like until you have your own kid. Excuse me for a moment, a little voice inside me is just begging to face palm you in the forehead but instead I'm just going to say EVERY LIFE HAS VALUE IN THIS WORLD!!. I feel much better now. I agree however that jail probably won't do much justice. She would probably benefit more from social rehabilitation and banned from working with children in the future. That's the law for you.

Thanks Dark!! I will make it next weeks goal to get to know you (going away for the long weekend).

You can all start throwing your tomatoes at me in 3 seconds... let me cover my face first :-# 1....2.....3...

Must admit I am liking the change in his post approaches and am starting to change my mind about him.

Sorry to be a party pooper but isn't the requirement to sign up to tip.it 13 years of age? (booo bad mel...BAD) That's very considerate of you hun but if you don't feel the same then you should break up with her. Yes you made a promise but at least this time you learn the lesson of not making a promise unless you mean it. And besides, you can be her friend as long as you like.

Sunshine coast, sorry I won't be anymore specific than that :)

Practice meditation. After a while you can control the pain in your body and the mentality that goes with it. It goes numb and you can keep the same rhythm and pace for a long time. Btw I don't live anywhere near south bank, I'm on the north side lol but South bank is beautiful, I love walking around there whenever I'm up that way.

Just finished 7.2km jog BOOYA!!!!!!!! *flexes ex pregnant belly*

Keep your skunk in your trunk. Taking this 14 year old girl's virginity (even with her consent) could give her self esteem problems when she's older. Young girls need to realize that men aren't going to magically fall in love with them by giving them sex. And they're seeking attention in all the wrong ways. If you want to take away a 14 year old's dignity to feed your own urges, you need a smack in the back of the head. Go get your older brother or cousin to buy you a porno mag and go solo. Try treating girls with respect! Didn't your mother ever teach you that? This is a real person with feelings, you don't treat people like objects!

^^ :lol: I lol'd. Free gee pee plz!! Be my boyfriend?? :P I shouldn't laugh, I actually dated an rs player for almost a year :lol: :wall: :ugeek:

lol it sounds cruel but seriously helping someone with their self esteem is worth it. (although there are obviously better ways to go about it but nothing I could change majorly in only 24 hours). Too many females have low self esteem but mainly it's because other females can be real Bi...ches.

It seems as though you missed the whole sentence referring back to "inability to cope well with stress". So looks like that's one thing we can both agree on. By the way did you know anxiety is the "inability to cope well with stress"? (and other facets of course, but that one is a real winner). As Zierro said it comes down to self control. Throwing babies and giving them 1st and 2nd story injuries, resulting in death doesn't happen to just anyone. It happens to people who can't control their feelings. Nobody suggested an exam to "filter out" childcare workers. If you have the inability to cope with stress, don't apply. If she does realize she has poor self control, why would you put yourself in the circumstance where something terrible can happen? That's just stupid really. "I snap easily, so I applied for a job to work with babies and children" :wall: much?? lol The point is she applied for a job that has high stress levels. Even if outside factors contributing to her stress made her "snap" she could have dealt them appropriately such as seeking counselling or time off. If that's too much to ask for, don't work with children. Everyone acts impulsively at times, it IS a bad judge of character and that's exactly why you apologized for it afterward. Should that be the sole judge of your character? No it isn't, as it is a part of the personality that makes you a whole. I don't see anyone here judging her character as a whole at all, I see people judging the part of her that killed an innocent baby.

Mod edit - clarity due to removed posts - Baron8000 Thanks Baron. This is the offtopic forum not the debating forum. Tip it actually has it's own debating forum if you wish for everything to be debatable.

OH! Well... that could be compromising if they could make a diamond shaped like that :lol: Very stylish Laura, market companies could use a girl with opinions like you :lol:
