“Yeah, I heard!

“now why does this have to be fuego just because of who it is?

...on second thought, knowing this crowd, good thinking laqtis”

“true dat thirfty!”

“Oh no! My idol! I cannot believe it!”

“Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but "he has a history of heart challenges."

WTF??!!...heat challenges???...jogging is a heart challenge...can you not even say heart disease anymore?”

“Yeah Treebeard, I saw a good film noir last night........Act Of Violence, 1949
Van Heflin
Janet Leigh
Robert Ryan
Mary Astor”

“it is not PC. sounds like something Carlin would say!”

“Cool! Never saw that one. Van Heflin rocked!


or was that Van Halen?”

“I had never heard of that movie before...........good one!”

“And the world is a better place!”

“The Anti-Christ is dead????

Its morning in America!”

“guys please keep in mind that you many not have agreed with him or belived in what he was saying, please be respectful that others here on TT did.



ok now that is said....carry on”

“Can't there be ONE thread without someone bashing someone, dead or alive? Unbelievable.”

“Whatever, the guy made a name for himself being a target. Why should things change now that he is dead?”

“was he the one that said if you dont give me this amount of money god will take me?
or was that oral roberts”

“"WTF??!!...heat challenges???...jogging is a heart challenge...can you not even say heart disease anymore?"

Sometimes it's not heart disease. My family contains the inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy "condition" -- Abnormal thickening of the heart muscle. Pretty rare (reported more than previously thought, however).

You can/could drop dead at any minute. My dad died of a sudden, massive 6 months after he had gotten a clean bill of health.

Isn't Freedom of Speech a b!tch?”

“yes, especially when it backfires on you

I searched on 'die' to find othr similar threads and found that quote from wolfeyes on a Peter Jennings thread.”

“I liked Peter Jennings. He was pleasant.”

“I don't know if I can go along with the "Just cuz he's dead, I shouldn't give'em a jab or eight" thing, Corey.

I would like to think that if a person doesn't want anything poor said about them, they should live their lives accordingly; gives ya something to shoot for, at least.

BTW -- this is trailtalk, where even purest of people get hammered. It's the nature of the beast; and what keeps'em commin` back for more....”

“Sad news. Condolences to his family and all those who felt their world was better with him in it. We may argue a lot about what's real and what matters, but death seems mighty real and even when the dying person feels ready it almost always leaves someone in a world of pain.”

“guys please keep in mind that you many not have agreed with him or belived in what he was saying, please be respectful that others here on TT did.

i agree...i always hate to see people bash people right after their death...with the exception of a handful of truly evil people, Hitler, Pol Pot, Caligula, everyone one deserves a little respect right after their death

well said ped

oh no what did she say again?





j/k :)”

“"i agree...i always hate to see people bash people right after their death...with the exception of a handful of truly evil people, Hitler, Pol Pot, Caligula, everyone one deserves a little respect right after their death"

I might point out that "truly evil people" should be considered a relative term. I'm sure that to some people, Falwell would fit your criteria, to others not so much.

The point is freedom of speech should be all-encompassing, and not limited. Nor should we ever expect others to exercise that freedom based on what we deem as "proper".

Once we get that outta the way, a better nights sleep we'll all have.”

“On the other hand...Tammy Faye is down to 65 lbs...pretty much putting to rest the whole "They took off her makeup and found Jimmy Hoffa" line.......”

“i'm not talking about "freedom of speech" i'm talking about common decency...i didn't exactly like the guy but i'm not gonna bash him while his body is still warm”

“Changes That Occur in the Body after Death

Post-mortem Cooling (Algor Mortis)

(1) Occurs when no further heat is produced by metabolism. Body temperature falls gradually after death (approximately 1.0 to 1.5 degrees F/hr.)

(2) Cooling continues until room temperature is reached in about 24 hours”

“"i'm not talking about "freedom of speech" i'm talking about common decency..."

I know that. I'm talking about freedom of speech. Common decency is another relative term, depending on it's contextual situation.

"i didn't exactly like the guy but i'm not gonna bash him while his body is still warm."

The short of what I'm saying is:
1. Don't kid yourself if you think that nobody is not going to say a bad thing about someone who is dead -- this is trailtalk and you know what you're gonna get around here.

2. It should be no surprise to anyone when this happens, because who a person considers "evil" will vary from person to person. Personally, I thought the guy was one of the biggest wastes of carbon ever; others around here will think he was "one rightious dude". Should I be censored just because I should follow some order of decorum reserved for people whom I deem are "rightious"? Where is the line, and at what level are people afforded this grace and who makes that determination?

3. Operating under your criteria, one could even bash Mother Teresa when she kicked; "it's" all relative.”

“Looks like we finally found a subject you guys are going to be hypocrits about.”

“Gotta agree....and I didn't know you were related to Mother Teresa (musta been hell at the family reunions).”

“I know that. I'm talking about freedom of speech.

...but why??!!...who said you can't bash him?

1. Don't kid yourself if you think that nobody is not going to say a bad thing about someone who is dead

oh, i'm not kidding myself, i know this world is full of @ss holes”

“Wow. I look back at the beatings I took for my comments about Pedxing.”

“"Looks like we finally found a subject you guys are going to be hypocrits about.”
NoProb"

The prospective one to your how many?

I think we're on the same page, now.”

“'cuse me. Finger check that was suppose to be "you guys aren't going to be hypocrits about".

Sorta changes the meaning doesn't it? Sorry I just washed my hands and can't do a thing with them.”

Nope. Perhaps you need to re-read what was clearly written. That is, of course, if you're just not out to take this whole thing up a notch.

bacpac brings up a great example. A lot of people, myself include, hammered pac for what he said about ped. I consider ped good people; pac just some flamer out to get his cookies baked.

It's in how you feel about someone. One should not be limited to the confines of what others feel regarding speech.

“Well, like they always say, "He's in a better place."”

“My favorite cookies are Macadamia nut.”

“MMMMwith the White Chocolate?”

“Boingboing.net has a list of his more infamous quotes going right now.”

“Common decency from libs?
Good examples of the nastyness of common decency of libs here.
DECENCY, only for the conserative.”

“ss can you stop with the name calling already. say what you need to and leave the LIBS comments out of it already!”

“sarge used to do that to get under everyones skin and get the subject changed so everyone would focus on him. LIBs has nothing to do with this. reread the thread if you have to”

“Silly Nasty Libbies”

“grow up already”

“Can't we all just get along?
Remember how an example was set by the libbies during the Paul Wellstone death?
So sad.”

“You and Paul are pretty bad today, Kevin. Behave.”

“LOL...Da*n...even under the weather he is throwing strikes....God I am glad you are back.”

“Falwell said some awful things, though he said them with a smile on his face.

He said that the "anti christ" walked among us and that he was a jew.

Nice guy.............”
