Man commits suicide over Valentine rebuff
2004-02-16
A young man committed suicide by setting himself on fire when his beloved refused to accept his gift on Valentine’s Day. According to the City Police Station, Ghulam Murtaza from Dhoke Kala Khan, had been in love with Huma for the last three years. He sent a bouquet to his beloved on the eve of Valentine’s Day, but she refused to accept it. He went to her house and sprinkled kerosene oil on himself and set himself on fire. He was taken to hospital where he died from his burns, the police said.
Oh, well. Guess she's rid of him...

#22  Well, I've finally realized
that you don't love me
Though I sent gifts and love letters
all the time
When I speak to you
You whistfully ignore me
'Cause you got that Captain Quimby
on your mind.

#20  Cut it out guys. I am sure his heart was all aflame over the girl and he just could no longer contain the burning flame of passion which was alit in his breast......

Either that or he was just a loser.....

(BTW: Good one tu3031....)

#19  Aris, I did enjoy following your discussion with Murat over Cyprus. I couldn't add anything to the discussion as my knowledge of Cypriot history ends sometime after the Crusades.

#17  "you American's don't know compared to we cultured Euro's"

I don't remember ever saying this.

"we'll soon be one big happy Euro family"

And I don't remember saying this as a definite either. Only as one of the most worthwhile efforts currently in existence worldwide (even if success is uncertain, even *more* so because its success is uncertain), and that you must be evil scumbags if you are opposing it. :-)

Or something like that. I'm, as always, paraphrasing myself. :-)

#15  SOME people confuse earnestness and sincerity of belief with validity. Just as the medevial philosophers tried to find analogies for Christianity in the world, today's "thinkers" try to shoehorn all events into their worldview. Some events (probably most) have no meaning. Let me list a few RB "thinkers" and their particular manias: NMM (Bush lied, everything is his fault), Aris (you American's don't know compared to we cultured Euro's, we'll soon be one big happy Euro family), Murat (HA HA More Americans died in Iraq), and Faisal (excretory and ual insults). People like this in real life become tiresome and find that folks begin to avoid them. Laugh (especially yourself), poke fun at others, bring on a good fight. "Dickhead" and "You suck" are not valid debating positions.

#8  You are so humorless, Antiwar. That can be a sign of mental instability as well. If you look around here you will see us laugh at others, and more importantly, ourselves. Lighten up, for in about 50 or 60 years we'll all be .

#7  What is his family's response supposed to be per tribal custom? Do his brothers have to kill decapitate her with sharpened spatulas?

#6  Gronky I've got one thing to say to you, try to be a little less prejudiced in your thinking.

#3  This is what comes from Pakistanis celebrating those f***ing Xtian holidays, isn't it, Antiwar?

Oh, wait, multiculturalism says we should practice the holidays of other nations! I'm so confused! Help me, Dr. Dean!

#2  Poor bugger. He sounds a bit mentally unstable though so she did the right thing not getting involved with him.
