Okay.
It takes a lot of courage to give up your life, which the majority of people lack.
A more appropriate question would be: Why on earth would someone wish to give up his/her life?
P.S., we're not talking of hollywood here.
LOL! That's quite funny and unusual!
Thankfully, Polygamy is not widespread or prominent in civilized societies... Except perhaps in certain Bedouin or African cultures.
That was the real life Colorado massacre. Not a Hollywood movie.
I don't think there was a calculated 'wish' in that. It was an almost instinctive reaction. And why they did this? It's pretty obvious from the article, to save the life of the women they loved.
Civilized societies have some common sense. They aren't stuck in an incomprehensible dark age. *Thankfully, God*
Maybe now, it's gonna be more usual. You know, as women develop some brains.
