Wait a minute
This is the place where I got crap for feeling bad about the VT shootings
You guys can fuck off
I don't remember that but there's a general guideline that's pretty fucking straightforward and easy to understand
if it's someone none of us knows and will never read what we're saying, it can be acceptable to make light of it sometimes
however if there is a connection, if it is one of us or someone that one of us knows
dude, that's fucking off limits unless the person in question indicates they're cool with it, like Stale
I'm sorry. All I said was that I'm glad I didn't read something that would make me sad.
It's not like we have forumers who attend VT. It's not like I went to high school with a few of the people who got killed, including the shooter! He certainly wasn't my gym partner my sophmore year. I can see why it was perfectly okay for people to make light of it.
Well then it wasn't and the people who did so are assholes. Don't take it out on others.

Excuse me I am not taking it out on anyone. But if what I said offends you in any way I will honestly just tell you to piss right off.

I find it terrible that people can laugh/make jokes about horrible things that happened.
horrible things have been happening forever
some people make jokes to deal with the horror of it
like police
i knew a policewoman she was kind of sad about the fact that police do mock a lot of serious issues but she knew why but she still was sad

It depends on the person. We all deal with this stuff differently and you need to take into account the person in question. I don't mind friends making jokes about my dad dying from cancer but just because I feel that way doesn't mean everyone should. Different strategies for dealing with it.

I was once having a discussion with my friend about nanotechnology, and specifically about an experiment at Duke in which a cancer cell was identified amongst living tissue and eradicated by a collection of nanites without harming surrounding tissue. This specific experiment required the cancer tissue be of a specific type, but it gave hope to future chemo-less cancer treatments.
When we were talking, my friend goes, "If there is an afterlife, and you could see this world, how much would it suck to be the last person to ever die from cancer? Like, this nanotech passes trials and moves into the normal medical scope, and cancer is effectively curable, but YOU happen to be the last person to kick it before they could get the syringe into your skin?"
I wonder about stuff like that. Like aging in general...
Advances in gene therapy (which can already remove latent problems from genetic make-up if they are identifiable in advance) and organ farming (using a clever mix of stem-cell research and cloning tactics) may make natural death obsolete in the future. Yes, you could still die from illness (ebola always wins) or getting hit by a bus, and statistically that means you will eventually die from something, even if it takes thousands of years, but you could keep yourself from ever experiencing death by cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, etc. so you would be, in theory, immortal. This is really not that far out there with regards to current progresses in medicine, BUT it is still far enough out that it may not happen in our generation. So... How much would it suck to be the LAST generation to have to experience a (relatively) short life? As in, if you could have just hung on for a little longer or worked through the medical loopholes a little faster, you could live forever, but no, you didn't make the cut.
Modern medicine is so amazing, and advancing at a rate that is astounding, even by todays hyper-technological standards, so I always feel that anything is possible, even in my lifetime, but I always wonder: When. And when will the next big breaththrough come? I see the news everyday, and wonder: "Is today the day? Will the news channels break away, 'BREAKING NEWS,' and tell me of the amazing wonder-treatment developed at Tufts or Duke or Berkley or wherever, and exclaim, with a hidden sense of exuberance, that heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, or any number of the afflictions of man finally be released as a burden from all of mankind?"
The wait for that day is almost enough to keep me going...
all I can ever remember about DeaconBlues is that he sucks
then I wonder why I think he sucks
then he makes another post, and I remember why
I'm just saying, why go through the verbal gymnastics of saying "I'm a hipster athiest, but if you want to say a prayer". If you're an athiest, what is random people parying for someone going to accomplish? And even if you think it's going to do something, why go out of the way to call attention to the fact that you thin it won't do anything? Because you're a douche, that's why.

Man, even Captain Planet had better powers than that.

I feel the same way. Reading his posts is like punching yourself in the nuts.

So you don't understand that people use humor as a way to deal with fucked up situations, just like crying or exercise?
