Kate Middleton prank call receptionist dead 'in suspected suicide' - Mirror Online

i cant imagine the horror she endured afterwards. this was not a normal patient. and Im sure her peers let her know and she was hounded in that short time from staff and management. this is sad but it was a innocent prank its a shame she fell for it. DJs do this crap all the time. is she didnt have an actual protocal to follow then its the hospital as a whole that is at fault for not having it however it certainly wont be the last we hear of this. those DJs better get their lawyers ready

Meh... The DJ's are fucked up, but the most they should be gone after for is just impersonation or breach of peace, something along the lines. We talked about this the other day with the "Royal Family", people hold them too high... That woman should not have taken her life. I have a hard time sympathizing for suicide.

Cold hearted? Maybe...

i also do as well. but I have soft areas for certain circumstances. Bullying is pretty bad in any age. I believe she was a target immediately after. like you said the way the world holds the royals high and she albeit not by her own fault entirely betrayed their trust. the population could have made it incredibly bad for her in a very short time.

ill just say this about your pov ... the lack of compassion for your fellow man in this world is just, for the twentieth time, sickening.

no i dont think it is ... i think someone who has felt as low as to feel the need to commit suicide ... their soul deserves compassion/sympathy/empathy ... even if after the fact

if you dont show it to a person in death, are you going to show it to help prevent someone you know who is considering such a final act?

Umm, yes.

I would do almost anything to save another persons life. And I would lend help to a person that was in a depressed state contemplating suicide. But I still have a hard time sympathizing for suicide. I don't believe anything is worth taking your own life (for the most part).

There are only two situations where I see suicide as somewhat justifiable.

A: You are terminally ill and in an extreme amount of pain.

B: You lose your entire family (children and wife/husband).

Other than that, nothing is really worth giving up your life. But my views and feelings are not shared by everyone. I am a weird person who has many conflicting views on topics. However I would do a lot to try and save someones life, be it physically or through talking.

I still think lending a hand to someone that is about to die, that you can definitely save no problem is drastically different than someone prank calling someone, and then that person kills themself afterwards.

Both situations suck ass, but they are very different.

B: situation should be just as selfish to you. whether you lose your entire family or not. when you look at your surrounding circles do you not see any friends that would grieve as bad for a suicide as a family member. there are more than just immediate family that would be crushed. uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces that may need you for strength in that situation.

but Im like jstew. while I cant condone it and get angered by it I cant be mad I will always be sympathetic as noone knows the true battle in a mind that something like this can unleash. you have to think that the call itself is not what caused this that would be incredibly naive to believe. there is more to her story and this was the catalyst.

True... Too each their own though. I agree there was more to her suicide than just the call. It's a tough topic no matter which way you slice it.

As opposed as I am to suicide, I have a hard time thinking it wouldn't creep into my mind if I had lost my wife and children all at once in some tragic accident.

dont get me wrong Im fully against it. but I can sympathize more easily for alot of situations. and I think more people on this planet think it more than they realize.

Why is racism still alive and strong?

Because the media continues to divide us.

That nurse didn't take her life, she was murdered! Same as Princess Di. Don't mess with the inbred rich folks in Britain. Yuck, the Royal Family stinks.

We have a shitload of creepy nutcrackers on the mantle. God forbid if I ever fall asleep on the couch, I will have nightmares of getting raped by midgets with lockjaw.

I gave all my nutcrackers to my sister-in-law for this very reason...

I would prefer to burn them. If I give them away, I know they are still out there.
