So what you are saying is that unless YOU can do something about it, its funny.

It IS the same. People are dying in both cases, you just only care about the death that directly effects you...and the farther out from you that death may be, the less you care. Trust me, I get it. Its the definition of self-centered. Wisdom is realizing that this world is not just about you. Idiocy is arguing that it is all about you.

Im not saying you should go bawl in a corner for all the people who are dying. Im just saying that death does hurt people, people who matter, and to be calous about others dying or those who suffer through the deaths of people they do care about...doesnt make you cool. It makes you an ass. Not that anyone really cares lol.

wow...just wow...it's a shame that people cant just send their condolences to the family and be done with it. No one is asking to send a trillion flowers to the family. Just to acknowledge that someone was alive and now they arent and that makes someone in the world sad. whether they wer healthy and ate well or even if they didn't, it doesn't really matter...the point of the other thread was to let people know "hey if you knew this guy...he passed away"

kyriel and avaela...i know this won't matter to you...but ive lost respect...not to avaela so much, but to kyriel...ive watched EVERY single one of your videos and thought they were all amazing and had an enormous amount of respect for you and your work...but now not so much. I also noted in your videos that you have a child...wouldnt it be funny it your baby got leukemia and died?...i'd have to giggle...i mean your own flesh and blood, a product of you...dying, painfully, and nothing you did could stop the pain your baby was feeling as the organs shut down one by one...seriously...now that shit's funny...karma sucks...remember that

What did you do about it?

So unless you sat there and gave your condolences to every single one of those families, you are self centered.

Following your logic of course

Edit -

Really? REALLY?

So just how meaningful is one person's death in the grand scheme of things. Wait, its not all about that person, why should we all care about their death? Isn't that a little contradictory? Death is a part of life, and apart of all things, and always will be. People will grieve, and people will understand that the death of a person really is insignificant. To sit there and say someone doesn't respect/understand death because the person who died has no affect on them?.. well, thats just ridiculous.

I guess that depends if the person dying is you or someone you care about...or not.

One persons life does matter, just because they die doesnt mean otherwise.

This is what it boils down to...

The dead don't get second chances nor can they defend themselves. They paid the ultimate price for whatever that they've done in life. For people who were close to them, it's painful for others not so much so.

Even if you don't feel any pain for that person, you should at least understand that others feel pain. You may not understand that pain but trust me..it's real. The Rest In Peace thread was just a grasp at showing a little respect to somebody who has made the finally journey.

Going into the thread and poking fun at the dead person isn't so much disrespectful to them as is disrepectful for the people feeling the pain. We understand that you feel nothing for the person. That means move along. Don't stick your nose into something that you don't understand. Because if you truely understood the pain of losing somebody close, you would have kept your mouth shut.
