Father charged over death of his child in crash with train

Can we say let's play chicken.LMAO&LOL.

Joke with your mates man. If you have an opinion on the topic to express, then by all means, post. You can even include a bit of humour in your post but it's not cool to cruise the forums just dropping one line jokes...

This arrant stupidity is amazing.Once upon a time the public had respect for 2-3000 thousand tons of train..........

Another one. We have Government funded T.V. ads about drinking, smoking, depression, illnesses, domestic violence, dole fraud, dvd piracy,
terrorists, and other things. You think they would make one about murder/suicide?
Something like this....
"If you don't want to live anymore and you are thinking of taking your own life,before you do it, please ring this number (insert number).
If you are determined to kill yourself PLEASE, PLEASE, I beg you, don't kill anyone else. Please, don't take the children with you. Get help. It's there for you and there is no shame in asking for help. There are good people who will give your children a good life. Please live for tomorrow."

All the other Ad campaigns have been successful and I'm sure something like this would reduce the murder/suicide rates. What do you think?

Only exception I'd take to your post, Aunt Melba, is the fact that the ad campaigns, on the whole, have NOT been successful. Just a feel good thing for the government who wants to be seen to be doing the right thing. Take smoking, for example. The government doesn't really want to lose the revenue, but they look like they have the moral high ground by making the right noises....

A good solid movie or song about this issue might have a better impact.

Perhaps "We Shouldn't Be Warriors Any More"?

Whaleisdelicacy, I am well aware of the irrelevance of one's opinions to others. Nonetheless , I (we?) like to come here and express opinions anyway. After all thats what Topix is all about.

Don't take it too personally, but I will stick by what I said regards your opening post. However your response post has content regards the topic at hand (which I agree with, btw), and as such, I will look forward to reading your future posts....
