    One of those few occasions you'd be glad to be with meteor, she wouldn't have reception to get the text in the first place.

    What! she was trying to commit mass murder.

    RIP. Someone should be prosected for manslaughter.

    I understand that. Doesn't mean that I have to lose my humanity. She is a victim of rhethoric and yes thankfully she died alone but like all she was once a little girl untill the poisonous influence was engrained in her thinking.

    Or she made a cold-blooded, rational, adult decision to kill a bunch of people to further a cause she believed in.

    Death is always sad, but gullibility is not an excuse for mass murder.

    Hopefully the next generation suicide bombers doesn't learn from this mistake.


  • Registered Users Posts: 303 ✭✭Debthree


    It simply must have been Father Ted that was texting her.

    You're right she may have, we'll never know.

    Ah Father Larry Duff, he's tremendous fun - I'll ring him now.

    The last Kamikazi pilot survived until about 2005, they were ordered to return the plane if there were no targets.

    Either he was very unlucky at finding them or he didn't look! ;)

    Darwin award?

    So if she hadn't gotten the text message she'd have been able to pass on her genes somehow before she detonated herself?

    Surely she gets her Darwin award simply for signing up for the suicide mission? Unless she already had children, in which case she's ineligible for a Darwin award.

    She probably gets a Velcro hymen installed and becomes part of the welcoming committee for the male suicide bombers!

    She could be a blow-up doll.

    I'd imagine that removing the potential to have more kids would be enough to get an award

    and not all suicide bombers succeed , many are arrested
    was a Radio 4 documentary about it a while back IIRC like other failed suicides most are OK about being alive afterwards


    and I've no respect for those who recruit people for these missions

    One less rat in the world. Good. I'm glad she's dead.

    (Insert joke part here)
