Woman commits suicide after becoming
depressed by her wrinkles

A woman [Amanda Barr, 44] who became depressed
that she was losing her youthful looks committed suicide
by lying down in front of a 90mph train, an inquest has heard.

Hmmm. Forcing a person to be the involuntary instrument
of ones own death is a horrible thing to do to that person.
I know of men who drive trains and trucks who have had
other suicides like Ms. Barr step into their path as they
were driving. Those men suffer a deep and anguishing
psychological wound and often a prolonged depression;
many have had to give up well-paying jobs by which they
supported their families because of the aftereffects. The
hardest blow is to the man's masculine nature as a rescuer
and protector; the horrible experience of the machine
under ones control slamming into someone's body and
being unable to do anything to stop or avert the inevitable
and gruesome outcome haunts the thoughts of those men.
The experience replays itself over and over in the minds
of such men who often blame themselves -- unnecessarily,
of course -- for not having been able to do _something_
to save the person who was killed.

Of course, no man has ever killed himself on a railway line, and no
woman has ever driven a train. Both these facts are obvious, as long
as one is a bigoted freak like you.


And no man has ever been a victim of DV as evidenced by "violence
against women" laws.

Was there a sale this week at Non-sequiturs-R-Us?

Indeed: Nowhere in Society's response did he indicate that there never
was a man who killed himself on a railway line or women never drove a
train. You made that one all on your own.

Then I respond to it, in kind, and you accuse me of engaging in a
non-sequitur. It appears that you're still living up to your goal of
arguing at the level of a kook because we don't deserve any better. :-)

Peter, as usual you show great bravery

I don't think any courage is required to post to Usenet.

and opposition to "bigotry" when
you perceive it's a populist position.

Oh yes, my views are immensely popular with you socmen.

You have "views?" Of YOUR own? :-)

Your main point here is that your beliefs are in the mainstream and ours
are not. That's ok. WE can handle that. Are you trying to imply that
you're brave because you're all alone here on soc.men defending the
cause of justice through shrillish demagoguery?

It appears that you're slowly making baby steps at standing up for
yourself. You're at level 2 of 10 in making a reasonable, rational
argument all by yourself.

You even used the term bigot as
a slur to defend your own bigotry.

As usual, one only has to change "man" to "white" and "woman" to
"black" in the soc.fr00t screed to which I replied to see who the
bigot is.

Or better yet, brave Peter (that said sarcastically, of course), you
could go to newsgroups which discuss issues relevent to black women and
start calling them kooks and see how tolerant they are compared to us.

Oh, wait, your support net would abandon you. Nevermind.

That makes you totally morally and intellectually bankrupt on these
issues here which explains why you're incapable of coming up with
rational, coherent arguments: because you're widdle emotional bubble has
been popped.

Look! it's Dr Soboolonski, psychologist!

I'm helping you and for free. You ought to be more thankful. You're
slowly starting to think for yourself.
