A former colleague of mine fell asleep at the wheel just after turning into his own street. The car went downhill into a house and killed someone. No alcohol or drugs involved. Got 5 years and came close to destroying his life. No criminal record. Upstanding citizen. Yeah, he shouldn't have been driving that tired, but who gained by him going to jail?

Did he plead guilty?
 
A reason but not an excuse.

So lets work out why the same reason keeps coming up and work on eliminating it. WH&S says we must investigate why people keep getting hurt at work. We then eliminate , isolate or engineer a solution. We dont ignore it

Very few risks are eliminated. WH&S is about implementing controls to reduce the inherent risk to an acceptable level.
 
Hasn't every single person who's ever committed a crime got a reason?
Couldn't you also say, that every single person that's ever committed a crime .....has a mental health problem ?

Or anyone that has every been sad suffers depression?
Not demeaning genuine sufferers ......but Mental Health has become somewhat the new fashionable RSI replacement, which impacts the genuine sufferers negatively

Exhibit A .....Gary Lyon who when caught out, magically reached for the easiest excuse to avoid questioning .....and now he's magically cured

But buying a new $2M property always helps to cure you :rolleyes:

Totally agree. Is certainly the Johnny come lately go-to. Look at how many players recently have had 'mental health' or 'depression' issues, when they are being paid huge amounts of money to play footy. Behind the scenes they have been linked to illicit drugs, but that part gets swept under the rug and nobody dare mention it !!

This point ! and the media automatically pulls back from any in-depth analysis, or any ongoing front page campaigns ......it's the perfect diffuser

Couldnt agree more. Wont be long until you will be labled an anomaly for not suffering some form of mental illness.
I Fear the lines between personality traits,expression and mental ilness have become far too blurred already.

It already is. How many suicide bombers by car in the middle east and Asia? Police need to develop a weapon that allows them to disable a vehicle (without causing catastrophic consequences of doing so).

I mean just running people over, it's pretty easy to get your hand on a weapon if it's a car or even a truck. A bomb is difficult to acquire.

Unfortunately, those who may be using as an excuse are downplaying those who really are depressed, given we no longer really know who is suffering.

Also, being sad because you were caught out in the wrong is not depression.
 
Did you see the article on the AFL site basically just potting our club and stating how awesome Geelong is? I know it's meant to be a light hearted piece, but the Victorian journos just can't help themselves.

The journo not Danger and even then the journo didn't say that.

How can anyone have an issue with this announcement? It's great news for him and his family.

I do agree and I think that is what has been lost in all of this buffoonery to announce it.

They are starting a family and he makes it about him and his connections. Yes I am old and grumpy and I sometimes don't get why telling the internet is more important than telling your family , but to me this devalues what should be a great moment in their lives.

There's something wrong with him
