Charles James Napier specifically said, as first recounted by his brother William:
“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”
Like I said, up until recently (and in some parts of the world it’s still going on) a widow would be condemned to a life of vagrancy if her husband died. This is why I can’t stand caste systems by the way.

No let Phil show you how to celebrate the holidays.

Same here, actually. Never seen any of the YouTube poops stuff.
I don’t watch YTPs… Viewing anything with the word “poop” in the title generally seems like a waste of time.
I’m referencing a YouTube Poop.

Are you commenting on the correct image? This confuses me… or are you trying to do “cognitive dissonance”?
It’s a grand gesture, that isn’t the least bit grand. Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like Fluttershy.
It’s in human nature, because our brains are able to think multiple thoughts that are contradictory in nature. Cognitive dissonance.
I’m learning that. The older I get, the more true it seems.
The hypocrisy of most of humanity knows no bounds.
It seems like a lot of people have this mindset: “In the name of tolerance, we refuse to tolerate anything you have to say as long as it disagrees with us.”
Typical.
Thank you! No, seriously. I had this same conversation with someone before and was quickly called a bigot.
The British were right.
Apparently this caused some animosity between the British and the people from India. The Indians said, “Please respect it. It is our custom,” while the British said, “It’s murder!”
Interesting things you learn on a pony board. . .

I love the pose in that picture. Widow’s all like “Yeah, my man’s dead, I’m joining him–ain’t no thang.”
Not really “optional” considering they tended to force the widow to commit Sati (the name for it) by forcing her to get onto her husband’s funeral pyre or commit suicide another way. And if she managed to avoid it, she was basically treated like a Dalit (basically the self-given name for the lowest “untouchable” class in the Indian caste system).
IIRC that was more of an optional socially accepted form of suicide since up until fairly recently (and it is still a problem in many parts of the world) a widow tended to be condemned to the worst of fates after her husband’s death.
Fun fact: There used to be a custom in India where, when a woman’s husband died, she would be burned alive on his funeral pyre.
Exactly! Who doesn’t want to burn their spouse alive every now and then?
The music video also involves the band burning or blowing Till up.
Du Hast in song could mean either “You have me” or “You hate me,” which given song is apparently about wedding vows, works both ways, I guess :)
