really kind of flabbergasted by some of the responses on here...
seriously you guys living in the West need to realize fast and understand that your 'poverty' line is at least two exponential points (or more) higher then most of the rest of the world. Apparently in Milwaukee being under the 'poverty' line is owning 2 cars, multiple TV's, computers and other electronics. poverty in most of the rest of the world means literally having to live in a shack with no hope of finding a job to support your family and possibly your children.
and no this is not a Darwin award, fvck you for thinking that. It's a cry of desperation, not stupidity. It is a desperate situation over there for many people. Many of them can't simply wait around for white man's burden to kick in or Hamas to roll over and die.
We always lament when people commit suicide. Think about it, situation is so bad that your willing to set yourself alight, to try to bring dire attention to a problem within the society. Without trying to directly physically harm anyone else.So rather then lament that someone put themselves through enormous pain and death to get a message across. what they'll get in response is laughs and darwin award jokes?
fvck you...
