I don't mean to be insensitive, but would this be a good time to talk about that movie, whatsitcalled... oh yeah, Atlas Shrugged... based on a novel by the same name by some Russian chick, whatsername... Ayn Rand, yeah that's it.

And that kinda thinking called "objectivism"?

I suppose I could insert an "objectivist" comment here, but then that really would be insensitive, wouldn't it?

The uncomfortable truth about all of this is that these people are allowed to vote. And they all vote for Democrats.

What am I missing? What does this have to do with Atlas Shrugged? You might have to spell it out for me.

Is there simply NO cruel BS that the sisterhood will not excuse? She was a mean vicious selfish bit@h,,, why is that so hard to understand?

She could have killed herself. Killing those kids too was heartless,,
The fact is, for all the man bashing and stranger with candy propaganda, the most likely person to murder a young child is the mother.

When the big cuts come to social welfare programs, watch the “misery index” explode.

When you destroy the sanctity of marriage,
when you make being a stay at home mom a joke,
when you encourage teen sex and its unwed consequences, ...

...you end up with hopeless people who have nothing to let to hope for.

I would love to see the movie, but unfortunately it is not playing in my area

The forced sex continued throughout our marriage. He wouldn't let me use birth control, leading to four successive pregnancies.

All sex is rape BS!

the most likely person to murder a young child is the mother.

Actually, I think it's the mother's boyfriend, followed by the mother.

Both are her fault, of course, but in the former case she's not technically guilty.

People get desperate, and it has nothing to do with their race or income...and people also get psychotic. I knew three kids (white, middle class) who just lucked out and would have been killed by their father except that somehow they got out of the car before he drove it over the cliff.

Other relatives reported that this woman had been hearing voices, and the man I mentioned above had also been thinking that people were plotting against him, his wife was evil, etc. He was taking an antidepressant at the time, and I believe this woman was also on some kind of medication.

Why do we have to foam at the mouth with hatred? Why don’t we just say a prayer for her soul and for those of her children? And also say a prayer of thanksgiving for the three children I knew who were lucky enough to escape their psychotic father. This woman’s kids were not as lucky.

I wonder why she married a guy who was forcing her to have sex against her will. Maybe she thought it would make him stop? Maybe she thought that was as good a guy as she was going to be able to find?

A 1999 US Department of Justice Study concluded that between 1976 and 1997 in the United States, mothers were responsible for a higher share of children killed during infancy while fathers were more likely to have been responsible for the murders of children age 8 or older.

So under 8, watch out for mom. The propaganda is all aimed at excusing nutty women, and blaming men for all the evil they can find,,, so it’s excusable that you believe that. Many people do.

Agreed. At the very least this ghoul ended her own life as well. Hardly a fair trade for those kids, though.

Just recently a jury somewhere let another woman off on a murder rap for shooting her husband while he slept.

Just provide the right excuse and the sky's the limit apparently.

I didn’t see anybody mention race. And prayed for the kid,, but she can burn as far as im concerned. She had tons of people trying to help. Typical control freak. Like i said,,there’s no end to the excusing of vicious women and their meaness.

Perhaps we are all better off if they remove themselves from the gene pool. Yes, I know it’s insensitive, but hey such is life. Too many people out there only serve to make the rest of us minding our business, lives miserable..

I think the general consensus is that thread hijacking isn't "insensitive", it's just plain effing rude.

The fact that you are here and, I imagine, read the article all the way through to the end, shows you are not as insensitive as you claim.

I am inspired and have learned from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, but I will not close my eyes to this kind of suffering that is going on around us. Regardless of reasons and the remedies for these tragedies we can’t be indifferent to them.
