This is not the first such story to come out of our current economic crisis. Explain to me, if you can--why? Isn't it better to be poor than dead?

Do these guys honestly believe they are preventing their families from suffering? Or is it more of a . . . if I can't be happy and prosperous, nobody will! kind of thing.

Ask Wolf.

Why do women drown their children?

Cicero · 01-27-2009, 06:17 PM

Because they like to pick on people smaller than they are because some guys can be cowards. Some men like to hurt the people closest to them if there isn't too much of a fight. The guy was a coward, that thought that would be the path of least resistance, because he was insane.

It's like the most recent event at Virginia Tech. He decapitated his little Chinese girlfriend with a knife in public and blamed it on the stock market. Nutter.

How about if it is just because he was insane without all the other mumbo-jumbo-armchair-psychology about men in general?

For some it's a suicide by proxy situation - killing their family is killing a part of themself. They believe they are sparing their families the suffering and humiliation that might come from a lost job or wiped out savings. Obviously it's a pride thing, and they are really just sparing themselves the humiliation of letting their families down - especially when they don't follow thru and off themselves as well.

Cloud · 01-27-2009, 08:18 PM

I realize it's an insane thing to do. I just . . . it's so unbelievable to me, I am left to wonder what possible motivation there could be.

Pride, yeah, but . . .

nutter.

I guess I often wonder what brings people to commit heinous acts. Some things are so foreign to me I have no reference to image such a thing, and wanted to know what you guys think.

It depends on whether your entire existence and sense of self-worth is tied up with not being poor.

Cloud · 01-27-2009, 08:21 PM

that's fucked up though.

The moral of the story is: try not to marry someone that shallow.
