wooo hooo was that funny!!!!!! maybe next, instead of those snappy one-liners, you'll regale us with stories of how your Uncle Dad impregnated Aunt Sister and produced you. I can hardly wait.

You know what honour is, but those that think differently than you don't?....suicide is ok, because losing face is worth dying over? A murder that is considered a necessity is not?

[MacDorcha]

in a nut shell, then again, i am deeply in love with my heritage. Scotch-Norse. Honour is imbred. face and virtue are all you know in life. they are worth more than all but love.

i didnt say suicide was ok to me. i said that it is the persons choice. i have no pity for a suicide case, but i have no care if they do it either. it is a councious choice of someone in trouble. i once almost commited it myself, but found that to be a wrong choice for me.

call me cold hearted if you want, but i tell you, i have no greater passion than for the love of those dearest to me. if my actions should bring to much pain in their lives, i see suicide as a viable option to end it if need be. self sacrifice is the message here. SELF being the focus. agree or not with what i have to say, it is my standard. it has served me well, and made me feel at ease when others have been pained.

dont question my view of honour either. those who doubt honour just because it isnt their view of it have no view of honour, and thus, no honour.

[MacDorcha]

EXACTLY! :) well stated my man.

[MacDorcha]

who gets to determine love for that matter then? why are we here? what is God trully like? abstract thought has driven us for centuries. if you can't grasp it, i must say that society has had little effect of making you a man.

Nope, in WV it's willing, no rape involved...

Family tradition and all that... ;^)

Reminds me of what Jesus said about the Pharisee hypocrites..who would "strain on a gnat and yet swallow a camel."

What warped mind would consider murder better than grace and compassion toward a rape victim.

These people are sick. No wonder their society is so stunted.

[bray]

Yeah, ol ma was savin her young virgin for some old mulla to rape and give her some extra allah points. What a sick religion satan has enslaven these people with.

Pray for GW and Iraq's Religious Freedom

Sounds like you have some unresolved issues about your family. Like I give a $hit about sanctimonious a$$holess' opinions

[stuartcr]

As honour is inbred in you, I can understand why you feel that face and virtue are all there is to know in life, but what about others that don't think as you? Are they all wrong just because they don't have the same inbreeding? You would die to save face, even though it would leave your family father-less? Where is the face in that? Self, indeed.

[stuartcr]

You realize that abstract thought drives us, yet you have no room for those that think differently than you?

[MacDorcha]

i have room for those that think differently, all ive posted is what works for me and all you have posted is that im attacking people. i may as well do it now that ive been accused.

quit with your silly petty doublespeak, you wanna be intellectual. if you have nothing to contribute but attacking people while not having original thought, you may as well join the DNC!

[MacDorcha]

you arent well versed i the rules regarding what is called rightous suicide, are you? the normal reason for suicide under those circumstances is that (if indeed, it was the father who did it) they did something so dishonourable, that the family would actually benefit from his suicide.

they would live with less shame.

but normally, the father is the head of the household, and so makes the name. its those that live in the house that can bring dishonour or honour to the name. the father IS the name.

So will the imams in the mosques there be preaching condemnation of this activity? Hello? Sheik Yassin? Could you please wake up now?

[MacDorcha]

and btw. we all have a basic concept of love, dont we? we all have a basic concept of perfecton as well.
it stands to reason, we all have a basic concept of honour.

[stuartcr]

I originally asked Moose4 why he thought honour was worth dying for, and you stated that they didn't know what honour was. I don't believe I've accused you of attacking anyone, I just questioned why you seem to think that you are the only one that is right. To me, a lot of what you said sounded contradictory. Calm down, you're not being attacked, besides, this is just freerepublic.

[Calpernia]

I can't take FR today. Sadness on every thread I read. I have to go find a happy place.

What is it with people? How can anyone harm their child? I just had a gag reflex trying to read this. Have people in society lost the ability to bond and form relationships?

Off to find happy news.

[stuartcr]

You are correct in that I am not well-versed in suicide rules....why should I be, it's a stupid concept.

They look at the Judeo-Christian culture and see abortion on demand and homosexual marriages.
