if someone pulls your pants down at a party and 15 people laugh at your wee willy, you can get over it.
if someone pulls your pants down and puts it on youtube for MILLIONS of people to laugh at your wee willy, and your picture ends up on the front page of numerous newspapers with the headline "small wonder", you just might off yourself.
I find it odd that some can't see the difference between those two situations.

people WANT to believe this prank wasn't the reason she killed herself ... people WANT to believe this because the same people enjoy these pranks and really don't want to feel part of the guilt ... the truth is i've laughed at stupid pranks on the radio and what not ... but this shit has gone too far ..
i do not enjoy these pranks. i think theyre are childish and mostly harmless. however... the collective outrage from the british press is what amused me... the british press was outraged. talk about lmfao!!! give me a fuckin' break. but THAT was before the nurse killed herself. however i was yet again amused by the collective outrage from the press which was aimed at the 2 djs. as i said elsewhere.. fuck you media.. fcuk you all.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
This just in, sources say there was a third voice, barely audible, subliminally saying, "if you are weak and can't take this joke, kill yourself". May just fit in with a few of the over the top PC people on the board and the straws they are clutching to try and stop people having fun.
The poison from the poison stream caught up to you ELEVEN years ago and you floated out of here. Sept. 14, 08
As an option to ceasing my life????????? Yes! Because that was her only option. I thought that when I heard the original story before this lady took it way too far, that it was funny. I find people tripping on the sidewalk funny, people who walk into the glass doors at the mall, people who run into others while texting, I could draw a huge list of what makes me laugh and makes you and Hugh cry. That is what makes life up. Difference.
let's take the suicide out of this ...
you think it's funny that a "prank" that involves the disclosure of private medical information and that would have resulted in the loss of someone's job and livelihood was funny and that the person who was humiliated should just laugh it off? ...
how would you feel if someone prank'd your bank ...and somebody released your earnings for all the world ... would you think that was a funny prank and suggest to the guy who gave up your info to laugh it off? ...
none of your examples given includes a breach of security, a release of confidential information nor someone losing their livelihood ...
As my very first post in the thread had the word "stupid" in it. Stupid people do stupid things. Since we are making things very simple again somebody you or Hugh justify the queen using a public line in the first place and somebody beliving it. There is protocol in places for a reason. Maybe you should channel your anger on the hospital for hiring tools. And not somebody having some fun. PC running amok!

i don't have anger ... i have empathy ... this is not PC running amok ... this has nothing to do with PC ... i noticed you didn't answer my hypothetical situation ... how would you feel if someone gave up your personal information for the world to know? ... would you tell them to just laugh it off after they got fired?

so it's the nurse's fault for "being stupid" and falling for a prank. gotcha. you never, EVER, fucked up at work? maybe covering for someone and you didn't know 100% of their job?
that's a pretty high horse you have to climb down from.

What passes for entertainment on the radio (or TV) these days just astounds me. Apparently, we are a nation/world of people who have the maturity of 13 year olds.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

Know your protocol. I don't care if the queen, polaris, the PM, whoever called and duped you, or asked you for my information. You got canned. Don't take it to heart. Learn your lessen and don't kill yourself.
So how I would feel has no bearing on the situation. It is just my records. My lord, anonymous could do that and it would be a feel good story of the day. What really did I have to do with it? The person on the phone and the idiot who gave them the info. I fall in how???
Anyway, speaking of skipping over, don't want to take a crack at: if this was everyman's hero Assange showing that they hire inept people that there be a thread on here carrying the man on your shoulders.

I don't. I'm just going off what you have said in this thread. you are free to say no, and I will accept your answer. I'm not baiting you. it just seems odd to me that you are making fun of someoen who killed themselves.

i think the hospital has to shoulder a lot of the responsibility here. what did they do to help jacintha after the incident? i do suspect there was more going on with jacintha that led to her killing herself... the prank was just the catalyst. if it wasnt this prank it wouldve been something else that tipped her over the edge. its a tragedy that she felt her only option was suicide. now having said that, the djs acted without malice. tbh who the hell would think youd get through supposed security when asking about such a high profile person... and with absolute shit fake accents??? is there not some sort of protocol in place at the hospital for when someone rings enquiring about a patient... again.. especially such a high profile one???

I agree that she obviously wasn't a happy go lucky person and then got pranked and then killed herself. This was just the straw. However, the person's mental state to me is irrelevant. the radio station CHOSE to air the prank when they hadn't received consent to do so. The hospital is at zero fault here. they couldn't have foreseen her killing herself. Nor could the radio station. But the hospital didn't pull the prank and air it. The radio station did. it is public humiliation.
to me it doesn't matter if the person killed themselves or went on to worldwide 15 minutes of fame on Ellen. doing this shit is just showing our kids that it's ok to do it as adults, and what kind of an example does this set when bullying is such an epidemic among pre teens and teens?

And setting the example with kids playing sports that nobody is a loser and everybody is a winner sets them up for failure to take a joke such as what was played and not be able to handle it. Kiddie gloves everybody, we don't want you to know that there will be weak and strong, winners and losers.
Better send the kids out on Halloween and teach them to only say treat, or just stand there with their bag open because you may be tricked when you knock on the door or be expected to say something.
Bullying.....buzz word of the last year. Funny thing the people who are in control and like to bully seem to be the one pushing that agenda. Hmmmm, makes me wonder.
This thread has been a good one to hang around and have some fun in. I really need to have more time to waste at work so I can hang out here somemore like the good old days.
Edit: don't forget to feel sorry for all the people Assange outed. :?

This is a tough thread, and a tough topic. I've been avoiding it because I feel its hard to understand whats happening with what is known.
They said there are three notes left behind from the nurse who committed suicide.
I have a hard time believing that she ended her life because she transferred a prank call, but who knows what her state of mind was. Its a sad story all the way around, but pranks like this have been around for many years. I actually thought it was a hoax for a second when I heard she killed herself.

I agree with you whole heartedly about winners and losers. It makes me seethe with how the school system is currently set up where teachers aren't allowed to fail anyone. it's setting up for adult failures who can't handle the real world.
your analogy of kid gloves to bullying is flawed. allowing kids to fail is letting them learn from their own mistakes. how is bullying the fault of the bullied? :?
