So her mother needs care, and she threatens suicide, more or less? What a tool.

Wow, the all-consuming selfishness is breathtaking. She is like a picture of Hell on earth. Do people like her ever care about ANYthing that doesn't relate directly to their own comfort?

I see it around me... people justifying avoiding inconvenience to themselves and congratulating themselves for basically... making themselves happier. Very disconcerting.

May I borrow your opening two phrases? They are very felicitous. "A picture of Hell on earth" seems to me to encapsulate the morally sane reaction to this filth.

That's really horrible. Are they advocating that all helpless and unproductive members of society be put to death, to avoid being a nuisance??? It's like something out of Nazi Germany

Her poor mother must just feel awful at her daughter publically threatening suicide to avoid caring for her.

The phrasing is not clear, but I suspect that what Murray is advocating is, first kill her mother because she does not want to have to feed her, and second, be killed herself if she ever becomes "a burden". You and I, knowing England, will both laugh hollow laughs at the thought that a BBC apparatchik like Murray, who has battened for decades on the canon, should regard herself as a monument of rugged, self-made individualism. But as for her mother, bear in mind that she did bear Jenni Murray. The vicious selfishness that shines from every one of the vile broadcasts that she has been allowed to make for decades is something she learned early in life. Her parents probably have something to do with it.

Finally, think of the logical disconnnect. In order for women to be free to achieve in society, women must be murdered when they are no longer able to achieve in society. So, once you have achieved - you get killed. We have a great thinker on our hands, ladies (and gentlemen).

The astonishing selfishness of some people is simply staggering.

For some people "Give me convenience or give me death!" is their motto.

(Props to Jello Biafra and The Dead Kennedys for that one. Or to whomever titled that album for them.)

Um, sorry about that, the deleted post I mean. I reacted on you post while I just wanted to react in general. =)

I'm surprised she doesn't consider that asking people to help kill her might be considered something of a burden. "Being smothered by a pillow" is very hard to do by yourself. But she's a brilliant philosopher and has probably reasoned that the world is full of bathtubs and toasters.

You've got the two people mixed up. Mary Warnock is the "brilliant" philosopher. Jenni Murray is the feminist media person and the one who spoke about letting herself be killed if she ever becomes a burden to anyone. As opposed to being a burden to the tens of millions of British citizens who are forced to pay the BBC for their flood of lies, bad taste and moral nullity, including her inane wafflings.

I think I have them now. But I'm having trouble with your use of the word "feminist" - she's right in line with the establishment. When she is "useless" - in other words, no longer desireable, or fecund, or rich - she would rather be destroyed rather than waste the resources taking care of an old, ugly, high-maintenance female husk. That's the epitome of sexist. Having to depend on anyone to take care of her terrifies her, because in her heart she knows she can't. Is this a common view? Isn't NHS there for the elderly? Why then would anyone feel trapped into taking care of them if they didn't want to?

My dear, I am using her use of the word.
