Palach stated, that he is a part of a group of suicide candidates and that they draw lots who will be the first one. Nothing else is known about that group. (speculations about CIA - involvement). --jvano 03:51, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
"...unfortunate popularity of Palach in the media" is a mean thing to say. For me and many other Czechs, who belong to a nation unfortunately often beset by inferiority complexes, Palach is a source of pride in one who cared enough about freedom and democracy to make the ultimate sacrifice, without being in any way a model as a suicide.

I am also Czech, but I am not proud of him at all. It is really an unfortunate phenomenon.--jvano 14:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

- You sir,are an untolerant fool,who does not know anything about being under a communist dictature for 40 yeares strait,after being under Nazi dictature 6 years strait.You dont make fun of (im an atheist,its just an exampleú say Christ,when he died for his teachings,nor of any other martyr,like say Jan Hus .Please think and RESEARCH before you dub someone an IDIOT stupidly,or it is only you,that has the right for that title.New Babylon 09:29, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wave of Suicides
I would remove also the sentence "Reasons for such a wave of suicides are unclear.". The are very clear to anyone who has lived under a regime of tyranny. Anyone against this editing? --Vernetto 14:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
That sentence refers to a wave of suicides in 2003. Either you missed that or you're calling the current government of the Czech Republic a regime of tyranny, which is a little POV. =) - TheMightyQuill 23:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bronze cross
The bronze cross is fairly recent is it not? So the sentence saying it was put there after the Velvet Revolution (implying fairly soon after) is incorrect. Any comments? 89.240.14.166 21:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
