Software Glitch & Accidental Thread Deletion
#4
Well, IIRC, Marc Anthony had posted a link to this CNN story : http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/07...index.html
"Shunned from society, widows flock to city to die"

I suggested that a viewing of "Water" (2005) http://imdb.com/title/tt0240200/
might show that this is a custom of long standing that knows no age boundaries.

Back-and-forth discussion ensued, noting that _every_ society has customs that
are repugnant to others. The U.S. attitude to health care contrasts unpleasantly to
the social support frameworks of other countries ( Canada, UK and other EU ).

The bicycle of discussion began to wobble when the subject of "Honor Killing" came up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing

...and, shortly thereafter, the wheels came off.
