catmag 336 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Pretty melancholy about the whole RW affair. I despair at all the 'experts' who come out on twitter and facebook and have to bite my tongue to avoid arguments. To put the myth to bed, suicide is the complete opposite of a 'cowardly act' or the 'easy way out' Yeah, I'm totally with you on this one. More than 2yrs down the line and we're still waiting for the inquest on my cousin's suicide due to the many complications of the whole horrific situation.

ewerk 27300 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Apprehensive, uncertain, slightly scared. Political situation getting a bit out of hand in the country. Opposition party up in arms about alleged rigging the elections last year. People in power have a history of corruption and have recently taken to violence to handle the protesters. 15 people killed in a demonstration not too long ago with not even a police case being registered against those responsible. Obviously that worsened the situation. So now there's this sit in planned in the capital on Thursday. Hundreds of thousands expected to attend and the opposition parties have already stated there will be no negotiations till the PM resigns. Government has already blocked most roads. Containers all over the place and the city is expected to be completely sealed any time. Protesters claim they will remain peaceful but will remove obstacles if stopped, with whats already happened, chances of violence are way too much for anyone's liking. Plus if this thing stretches fuel shortages etc will occur before too long. Meanwhile the all powerful army's sending messages to God knows who by constantly flying fighter jets and helicopters at low altitudes. (including at 1am last night scaring the shite out of half the city). Cant a man ask for a couple of months of freakin stability in this place? Been there, done that. It'll get better over time.

aimaad22 3698 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've seen a lot worse, its just a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 10264 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Rapidly improving since I've just got home after 12 days in hospital with gall stones and nasty dose of pancreatitis. 3 shots of morphine and I was still in agony. On the plus side I've lost over a stone in weight, so I can knock any diet plans on the head for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
