When you see a white cross on the road side...

You can't fool us. You're just a goodie-two-shoes teddybear posing as a bad-ass mother-intercourser.

 

I don't give a f*** what you think, old man. Shine that opinion real good and stick it.

 

Either you know something we others don't, or I can only see two options why you'd want that spesifically:

1) You're afraid of his necromantic powers - summoning your spirit, shackling it to something inanimate and forcing you to listen to his exploits for as long as he lives COULD be one of the milder scenarios or

2) You're afraid of your buddy's, Jesus', necromantic powers - summoning Anomen's spirit to keep you company in the afterlife for all eternity. Just for the shits and giggles.

So if I were you, I'd rather do the pre-emptive strike and kill him myself. Just in case.

 

Nah, he just annoys the heck out of me, and I want to get the last laugh in.

And I'll be laughing hard when I see it from On High, too.

 

^ Looks more like you want him death so he'll be next to you.

 

I feel great sadness for the loss of life that is symbolized by a roadside memorial. But I am not certain that a roadside is the proper place for it. It can be distracting. People who get offended about the crosses of privately paid memorials are losers who have no soul or compassion.

 

I tend to see roadside memorials as rather pathetic. It is truly a shame for families to dwell on the accident which tragically ended the life of a loved one. A proper place for a memorial would either be the grave (if you choose to focus on death) or in the home with tokens of the joy the individual brought.

 

@Bruno, let's not be too hasty in calling these people pathetic. Sometimes people put those memorials because it reminded them that the departed loved that place. In a way, this reminded me of those "memorial benches" in some parks. People didn't place them there to remind them of the dead, they are there to help others see the beauty that their loved ones enjoyed there. Sometimes memorials are there to remind others to drive safely.

 

We actually had an issue in my city a few months back -- a little girl was run down by a piece of <fecal matter> loser of a drunk in a residential intersection. Her parents kept putting up a memorial at the one corner of the intersection and some really heartless dirtbags kept stealing the flowers and such. They wanted the city to do something to preserve the integrity of the memorial but the city said it couldn't be held responsible to protect such a memorial. My feeling was they should cut down on their pain and put up a memorial elsewhere -- not on public property. The controversy died down and I hope they were able to find their peace -- losing a child to a worthless scumbag drunk would reduce me to beyond pathetic very quickly.

 

Yeah, but we're talking about memorials on the side of the road - usually at the exact location of the accident. They aren't putting them at a location that person loved (unless they loved the roadside).

 

Yes. In those cases, they're clearly there just to mark the 'place of execution,' which just seems weird. You should try to forget that.

 

My, my, getting so worked up about losing a human life. S*** F'N happens, we ALL DIE SOONER OR LATER!

Besides, spawning descendence is one of the most SELFISH choices imaginable! Did the thought that the "precious" life those create might NOT want that CURSE? Sentenced to life, whenever you like it or not, you don't have a choice!

 

Actuallt, Disciple, no, it never crossed my mind that the little girl hated her life and wished she had never been born. Not for a second.

And while we all have to go sometime, it does not logically follow that selfish people therefore have the right to be self-indulgent and end up killing people. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I mean, are you serious? if someone you cared about died, would your response be "**** ****in happens"? I mean, seriously, are you joking? You must be joking. You must care about someone in this world.

 

Someone I care, like my family, I suppose? Hah! I burned bridges with the ENTIRE family on my father's side because I was sick of those fools and all their <d>ucking bullcrap! And my mother's side is nothing but a dysfunctional circle that repeats on and on and on... Peace, arguments, reconciliations, rince and repeat. I smartly stay out of their bulls---, and much less give two flying <d>ucks about them! The day I leave this stinking province and leave those idiots behind is going to be the best day of my life! I'm tired of all the F'N bull! My point is, going my own way is the best thing for me to do... I don't need their F'N issues, I already got enough of my own!

There has to be someone I care about? Yeah... me.

And my two points were separated -- the part about spawning descendence being selfish was my own personal opinion on the subject and had NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING to do with your post. I repeat that, NOTHING BUT A PERSONAL OPINION!

 

Spawning isn't a selfish act, it's a natural drive. It being a selfish act would require that people do it for their own benefit, or at least the belief of their own benefit. Most people realize that a child will not necessarily improve their condition any, and runs a serious risk of lowering their situation at least a little. It's sort of like an alcoholic. He doesn't want to drink anymore, he needs to. Or, maybe breathing. Greed and desire have little to do with it (unless there's something that smells really good around). It's just the nature of the beast.

And, as for the second sentence... the life not wanting life to begin with? No, can't happen, because it has to have life first in order to be a life which could want it or not. Seriously, though, most of us consider life to at least have some pleasant moments worth the rest of it. Either that or we fear death more than we fear more life. At least life is a known quantity, after all. I mean, what if souls wait in a tortured, non-existent oblivion just waiting for the opportunity to escape into material reality and be? Huh? Ever think of that?

I'm being completely ridiculous, of course, but it could happen.

 

Arguing with a Xtian and a Mormon is like bashing my head against a concrete wall: Fun, but useless.

 

My religion has little to do with my ability to feel compassion for a family that has lost a child to the selfishness of another. I would hazard that the vast majority of atheists would feel compassion in similar circumstances.

What I saw was this:

and that appeared to me to have to do with the little girls death at the hands of the drunk. it seemed a little on the ridiculous side. I mean, I doubt that even you would go to a funeral and say something like that to the people who had lost someone dear to them.

The second part also seemed connected, in that you seemed to be saying that the parents of the little girl were selfish for sentencing her to life. I don't think that's an unreasonable connection to make. Again, religion has little to do with it. To paraphrase an old 80s song, "Atheists Love Their Children Too."

I accept that you were just expressing an opinion that seems to be connected to the belief that world population is too high and life is a brutal <w>itch. fair enough. I can underastand that position.

 

Personally, I don't feel the need to justify anything to anybody. But when I started, I was just in it for the sex. Regardless, without sex this conversation would not be taking place - that may or may not be a good thing.
