Five unemployed Moroccan men set themselves on fire in the capital Rabat as part of widespread demonstrations in the country over the lack of jobs, especially for university graduates, a rights activist said Thursday. Three were burned badly enough to be hospitalized.

Haven't read all the posts here, just the first couple.
I must say considering the nature and "religious" beliefs" of the Monks, I am very suprised to see them doing such things.
This seems to be a very aggressive behavior for them. It would lead to believe that things must be getting out of control over there.

That is all I have to say b/c due to intoxication the brain is not fully fuctional right now. haha.
Look forward to reading what every one had to say tomorrow when I am sober.
Have a great night everyone!

Kato what, if anything, might drive you to immolation? For me if someone spiked my coffee with decaf one mourning that could do it.

 

[kato]

[stevek173]
