on a side thought... does restoring honor border along the lines of pride?

I don't really know how honorable commiting suicide is. But as someone said here, putting the life in the person/s' hands is more than likely a better way of restoring honor. Sometimes to them you offing your head in front of them or any other form of killing youself may bring grattitude to them in some twisted way. But thats not to say that everyone wants every dumb idiot who decided to launder millions of moolah for their or their family's own benefit to off themselves as a way to say sorry to everyone the weakling duped. Same goes for the idiot who went psychotic and decided to shoot up an entire group of people; and the person who just plain ended up shooting grandma at the store because he "accidently" tripped on the trigger.
Seriously, I don't think Suicide is an honorable way, however no matter the situation... you really don't get to have much of a say in how you live your life after you've done something pretty retarded as stealing money from other people just to make your's even better. It's really in the hands of the people. And maybe in some nations they do say "Yes, you should die to restore your or your familie's honor. Here, heres a machete, turn your life into a pool of blood at my feet" or possibly, "Yes, you will die, but we're going to help. Heres a noose, put it over your head and we'll kick the chair." However in other instances, the victims wouldn't love anything more than to pay to see this person put into time-out and either have them rehabilitated to be a more functional or at least better person... or leave them in time-out for their natural living lives so that the victim can have some satisfaction knowing that this person is rotting away to the core and hating every bit of it. On the bright side of things if the person is in time-out the family and friends (if any) can see them for however long they have left to live; or the victim could visit (not too sure if this is allowed.. but ehh..) and remind the dishonorable person that their suffering is making the victim feel much more better than them commiting suicide.
So all in all... honor isn't something thats always restored by commiting suicide, but more along the lines of something being earned by atoning for a crime in the way that the victim/people choose to be fitting.
If Hitler hadn't commited suicide (if thats true) we might have benifited in some twisted/educational way if he had actually lived and hopefully captured and not shot on sight (although maybe hearing of him being shot might have been a more gratifying ending for others).

poor woman. But as a bad after-thought, could it have been a health care worker who did this? I guess since it was done the day before that there isn't a possiblity for this. I guess another weak, disgusting, possibly job-less preditor attacked her for whatever reason. But if he did, what did he take? And if not that then this could be a type of murder.

I remember an interesting thing that happened the other day. A person working at a cash register told a customer that they were going into the military. I can't exactly remember which one... anyways the response wasn't what it used be a few years back. Instead of saying "Good for you, go fight for your country" they responded with a sort of confused look on their face as if to say "poor guy" but instead saying something along the lines of "hopefully you won't die within the next couple of weeks."
I don't think the new generations, or new blood, are mentally stable to handle the war. I never thought that I was, so I didn't join the military. And especially after seeing my brother come home. Never saw him as the same family member afterwards. He did his job and the military loved him for it. But he now "works hard" to provide for his family.
Serial Killers and Mass Murderers could also be seen as Heros and Kings in another person's eyes. To quote someone smarter than me, "It's the winners of the wars who write our text books."

It could have. But I don't really see this too much of as a burger since theres that skewer sticking out of the top of the burger. So I'd say that it's more like a kabob. Hamburger Kabob... maybe a Kaburger or Hambob.
