Kevin's Watch

Didn't I make it clear? Not in here, please. If you absolutely must be this childish, take it somewhere where it won't irk people who have stood too close to the deaths of others to find it amusing. Laugh at your own if you will; don't laugh at others'. You don't have that right. Their families' loss is not for you to scoff at.

1) Who here is related to Heath Ledger?
2) What makes you think that the only people who find death funny are people who have not been personally affected by the deaths of those close to them, or have not watched someone die, say, over a period of several days, in agony?
3) You don't have the right to tell me what to do.
4) I will scoff at whatever I damn well please. I was not scoffing, however. I made a joke. There is a difference. If you cannot tell the difference, and/or cannot take a joke, you may consider joining a cloistered monastic order, as humour is something that you will encounter in the World.
5) This entire fiasco is based off of the inability to take a joke. No one has attempted to actually refute my original theory. They have simply descended directly to ad hominem attack, and orders to 'shut up you stupid kid.'

Lets call this a draw and never bring it up again. I needlessly upset someone
here once upon a time because I thought that I was right but now in retrospect I realize that I was wrong. I would not let it go and I ended up feeling quite bad about it( but was not man enough to admit it) and realized that sometimes it is better to just shut up and keep the peace. No need to apologize for either of you, just let it go.

Ironically, my original intention was to prevent an argument.

I'm happy to leave it here.

Yes. I'm happy for everyone to leave it there too.

There are many ways for people to grieve, as many ways in fact as there are people, and we all experience our losses in our own unique way. Likewise, we all heal on a path that no one else can lead us down. I remember reading this once and I'm going to add it, simple as it may seem, for anyone who might benefit or take any comfort from it, as it once inspired me to pick up the pieces.

"When those we love become a memory,
that memory, becomes a treasure"

that is a fitting way to close this thread.

while many may offer their opinions in different ways; I do agree that respect should be shown someone who has died.
