Thread Name: BS: that powerless feeling (sensitive topic)
Subject: RE: BS: that powerless feeling (sensitive topic)
Yesterday was the funeral for the woman and her three children. I mentioned them previously in this thread. The woman's partner and father of the children poured petrol (gas) on all of them and set them alight in the car they were sitting in. They had no chance of escape.
Domestic violence or abuse is a topic which we all need to be able to discuss.
Trying repeatedly to avoid discussing this topic and trying repeatedly to prevent others from discussing this topic just raises one great big red flag, in my opinion. And if these repeated attempts occur over a long period then the red flag gets bigger and bigger, especially if the people attempting to stifle the discussion resort to personal insults and aggression aimed at the people who do want to discuss the topic.
If a person is not interested in the topic and/or does not want to discuss it then that person should leave the thread and find a topic more relevant to his own interests.
