    Fair enough. You wanted a source and I've given you one.

    I've heard that 60 per cent of the time, your' sources work 100 per cent of the time :p

    The above comment annoys the sh*t out of me.
    Pure ignorance.

    how is it ignorant? because I called her a mad woman? Seriously do you expect us to give sympathy to someone who murders her children?? You've just proved my point, if it were a man you'd never get angry if I called him a madman.

    I don't see why tbh.
    Its one thing to kill yourself but to take two innocent children with you can only qualify you as a mad b1tch.
    Theres absolutely no excusing it and I for one hope she rots in hell.

    Sorry to be so...."ignorant" about it.

    Exactly. If it were a man I'm sure all the women(including Shock_Treatment though she may deny it) would be calling him a psycho, a lunatic etc and you can be damn sure all the guys wouldn't be defending him.
    But oh no, apparently a psychopathic murderer can't be called so if she is a woman.

    The three he held dearest in his life I imagine.

    Thanks for the link. But that article seems to be saying that the reason women earn less is because they tend to go for lower paid positions in the first place, and they don't tend to be as geared toward career advancement/money as men.

    Surely that's an individual perspective that every woman needs to revise for herself?

    Women get paid the same. Fact. Too lazy to link.
    They get paid less because they WORK less hours.

    In the article I've linked to I realise that there are many reasons for women earning less but discrimination is still a factor. I've given an example and backed up my original point so I aint gonna drag this out.

    man...how is that helping? Just take the article for what it's worth


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭dbnavan


    This thread is sick!!

    The woman was a mother and a wife, she was obviously physiologically unwell, it is not up to us, most of who don’t know the family. To decide weather or not she is buried with her kids or whatever that is totally the family’s choice, namely the grieving father. People who have suffered depression or similar problems know that 'some' choices made during depressive moments don’t always in anyway reflect the person 99% of the rest of the time,

    May they all rest in peace.

    he's on the level, i cant remember the source myself. i think its the ESRI but im not sure. but apparently 90% of all overtime is done by men resulting in women working on average 10 hours less than men.
    in that context its OBVIOUS men will earn more and deservedly so. surely women arent advocating pay for work they havent done:confused: now THAT would be discrimination

    Think you'd have the same attitude if you were the husband and everything that you held dearest was taken away in an extremely violent and bloody manner?
    I somehow don't think so.

    If it were my wife she'd be heading the same way the christmas tree did.Save a fortune.
    man...how is that helping? Just take the article for what it's worth
    Oh I am taking it for what its worth, believe me.

    Yeah you see you'd support and believe everything she said in that article because...wait for it....you're a woman!
    When I read those kind of articles I just see jealous feminists with nothing better to talk about.

    Oh and just because I've said that stuff doesn't mean I'm against women getting equal rights, pay etc, it just means I'm sick of all the complaining about it.
    Typical response from you tbh tongue.gif
    Hey, I could have linked a picture to what I thought of her :D

    And I'm not complaining,I'm just backing up my original point and this was the first thing I thought of.
    Hell,all I'm saying is that life sucks for everyone so why should any kind of discrimination be a surprise anymore!

    So the psychological elements dont even come into it for you ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,240 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Yeah its the ERSI Report. Also the Guardian is English.

    So you're not denying that she was mad?Psychologically mad I mean.
    tbh I couldn't give two sh1ts if she was depressed, plenty of people are depressed and yes, some commit suicide. Tragic as it is it still doesn't excuse the fact that she killed two totally innocent children. Psychologically f*cked or not.

    Also,just to the OP,I actually think there was a story a while back where some guy drove off a cliff with his kids and they were all buried together.

    Not sure yet but I'll look for a link.

    'Mad' no. 'depressed' no. Chronically depressed to the point of psychotic episode yes. My sister was at the funeral yesterday, and shes really cut up with it, and trying desperately to come to terms with it.

    I agree with you whole-heartedly that the children done nothing to deserve it, nothing does excuse it.

    But psychological factors cannot be ignored. Im going to leave it there out of respect for the family.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    I do not see why she should not be buried with her kids, would say the same if it was a father who was in the same position. She must have been deeply disturbed and while it may be hard for a while for her poor husband to get over this tragedy (especially seeing her grave beside that of their kids) in the end I deeply hope that it will be a healing process - I can not imagine that he could cope with it if he does not forgive her. Was deeply touched to see that he helped carry his wifes coffin. RIP to them all.

    You don't bury a muderer next to their victims, especially if their victims happen to be their own children.
    The husband has to visit those graves remember, I'm sure he could go without being reminded every time he goes up to see the graves of the psycho b1tch that took the two he held dearest in his life.



    Who are you to decide where she gets buried? Surely its up to the husband tand the family to decide where she is buried. THe papers, the general public had no say in where she was going to be buried, the husband did.


    SO he clearly has no problem with her being buried with her kids. So i am sure he has no problem being reminded when he visits all three graves.
