Y DO SUICIDES MURDER THEIR FAMILIES ?

boy, I thought this would be a decent thread, but I should have known it would turn into putting guns in cvhildrens hand, David

Anyway, I haven't read all the responses, but I think some kill the family with thoughts of "If I can't have them, no one else can either"!

I picture one spouse telling the other controlling spouse that it's over and they're leaving. Controlling spouse loses it, can't imagine living without his family, decides to takes their own life, but not without taking their family with them.

Total uncut selfishness at it's most extreme.

Good point.

My brother has been a soldier for 30 years and has been in combat during several wars.
He is an expert marksman.

He doesn't allow guns in his house.

I don't know, David. Since there were bibles left I can only guess that there are religious reasons behind that.

I've always been interested in knowing what makes people tick, but sometimes it gives me a headache.

I do have to say that I do find you to be very interesting, David.

HAPPYCAT,

If you had children, or knew anything about children (other than referencing your own bizarre childhood) then you would understand that children cannot, and do not, think abstractly.

I have to disagree with u, Happycat.

I can remember back to ( and before ) age 3
and I clearly recall my uncle telling me repeatedly not to argue
with my mother. In a sarcastic and negative way,
he repeated that I 'd be priceless as a lawyer.
That practice of frequent argument was in abstract thought,
day after day. The other kids by whom I was surrounded
were not very different than I was, and thay were NOT discernibly less intelligent.
We argued about what was right and rong, a lot.
Argument in the abstract represented NO PROBLEMS for us.

Indeed, as I said previously, at age 8, I felt a little ill-at-ease
in not knowing how I 'd defend my house, if I had to.
Hence, I felt very relieved, when I won a revolver in a poker game
with other kids in the neighborhood. This all entailed abstract thought.

P.S.
Following up on what u deemed " creepy " thoughts of mine,
Happycat, do u consider it " creepy " that from the age of 3 until 8
( before I had possession of any functional guns )
when I saw police in the street, my eyes fell on their guns and locked on.

I used to daydream of misappropriating not just the revolver,
but the whole rig that I had seen on police and on bank guards.
In other words, between ages 3 to 8,
I used to lie in bed and think about grabbing
a police officer's gunbelt with its gun and bandolier holding ammunition.

At that age I was not obsessed with guns;
( maybe semi-obsessed ).

Yes David, I've read your posts and your questions to me. Well, the ones that I could understand. I'm still trying to figure out what a "cud" has to do with anything.
As I said before, nothing that you've posted makes any sense at all to me.
Especially the parts about what you remember from when you were age 8 and under. Maybe you've just got a vivid imagination. But, if what you say is true, it would have been a wise decision on your parent's part to invest in a child psychologist.
I've got a mental picture of Pugsly Addams.....with a .38 in his hand.

Thank u, Montana; very kind of u.

I join in that interest of what makes people tick.

There have been times that I have yearned to be able
to unscrew the cerebral vault of someone 's head
to look down in there and see what 's going on.

Did u understand the question about the colored font ?
U did not respond to it.

I here reproduce it for u:

" 3. Happycat,
I see that u write in the color blue.
I have also used colored fonts of different sizes
in an effort to express myself more clearly.

Have u received complaints from the residents of this forum
concerning your use of color ?

I did:
Some of the members pleaded, supplicated, entreated, begged
and implored my mercy, that I stop doing it.

Therefore, I am restraining myself to some limited degree.
I think your use of blue writing is pretty, colorful and ez to read.
David "
