Separately, President Joachim Gauck of Germany attended a memorial service in Haltern am See on Friday for the 16 high school students and two teachers who died in the crash, German news reports said. He was accompanied by the state premier of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hannelore Kraft. He was also to meet with friends and families of the victims.
Carsten Spohr, the chief executive of Lufthansa, said on Thursday that Mr. Lubitz had passed the company’s health checks with “flying colors.”

Poor choice of words, perhaps. As most people here know, one of my favorite subjects is the relationship between SCALE and mental illness, particularly forms of illness such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD which have no obvious direct cause. I posit that factors like atomization, transactionalism, and competitive pressures place people closer to a breaking point, so that it is easier for a cycle of escalating mental illness to take hold. Once it does, people have fewer resources to help them emerge from this breakdown, and eventually they have no choice but to write bitter screeds about a congenial forum admin.
Nevertheless, I think that flying a plane of 150 people into a mountain is completely outrageous, and that being a suicidal maniac is not a very good excuse. It turns out Stephanie Bolland (why is it always a woman?) vehemently disagrees, and I just need to get over my cis-sanity bullshit.

Yesterday, a press conference shared the news that the co-pilot in the Germanwings crash may have brought the plane down intentionally. Furthermore, it’s been revealed that he had a history of depression, at one point taking a break from his training.
In terms of “topics you might want to cover a bit sensitively”, this one ranks pretty high. But the front pages this morning have admirably stuck to their line of being as awful as possible.

Cue display of tabloid shock headlines.
Urges to be more sensitive always seem to come from some berating cow who is in love with making people listen to her frequently deranged opinions.

Look, I won’t speculate on what might be behind the Germanwing pilot’s actions, because like these papers I don’t actually know yet. But what I do know is that asking in massive bold font why someone with a history of depression was allowed to have their (sic) job is misleading and ridiculous.
That's jumping to conclusions--maybe it was a herstory of depression, you filthy misogynist cunt. This 100% sexist twat continues, warming to her theme that there's nothing bad about being crazy:

If we followed the Mail’s logic, the economy would be screwed. Because people with mental illnesses hold down jobs all the time. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 4 British adults experience a diagnosable mental health problem in any one year.
I think that just means they're British. Probably once Sharia law is instituted these numbers will come down.

As prescient commenters were quick to point out, it’s statistically likely that the paper has a number of people on staff who suffer from one. All over the world, people with mental health problems manae to work reliably in important jobs: as doctors and nurses, in the police, as firefighters, as politicians.
Indeed, the governor of Minnesota is a medicated depressive lunatic, and our own president is a bipolar homo. Hillary Clinton has actual brain damage from one of her many mini-strokes. And yet they all perform their jobs (reading speeches and having their pictures taken holding the New York Times to prove they're still alive) perfectly.

The truth is, most of us rely on people with depression all throughout our everyday lives – in the vast majority of cases, we don’t even spot it. What must it be like to go through the world outraged by this? Are these folks kept awake at night by the fact that people with depression sometimes drive cars with passengers in? How do they deal with the clinically depressed having children? (Actually, don’t answer that, I’d really rather not know.)
It turns out another stupid, middle-aged woman, Grauniad "journalist" Elena Cresci, has been twittering around the clock about this critical issue, whining about it in the passive-aggressive language of a certain MPC chat fixture. Let's take a look at a random sample of her Twitter feed.
Whoops, I didn't mean to focus on this insensitive detractor. Here's another.
Throwing around the word "crazy" when the subject is sensitivity for the criminally insane? This jackass doesn't even know how to read.
I have to grudgingly admit this lout has a point. Elena Cresci is talking like black people don't even exist.
Is she saying she doesn't want to see or hear black people's opinions? Disgusting.
Elena Cresci tackles other important subjects of interest to a narrow spectrum of weak whytes:

We asked our readers whether they had experienced homophobia in their day-to-day lives after a BBC radio presenter held hands with one of his male reporters on a Luton street and was shocked by the casual discrimination they encountered. Those who got in touch told us a range of stories, from stares for holding hands to outright physical violence. Here are a selection of their submissions
