an old class mate of mine died :,(

They both were drunk? Zeeeeero sympathy. They don't drill 'Drinking and driving is bad' into you because driving is more awesome while drunk.

I fully agree with this sentiment. I have never grieved the loss of someone, not even some one close. Sure, I was upset, but I didn't grieve, not even for family, especially when they lived a long life and it was their time.

I knew someone that was killed in a motorbike accident a few days before my year 12 formal, he was a real douche and it pissed me off they had a remembrance thing for him at the formal because he died street racing without a helmet. All it is is Darwinism in play, I'm thankful people like this die young because it closes the gap that they have to keep doing it and one day kill an innocent person because they are stupid.

We also had an incident in the city I live that annoyed me. Some kid (18 or so) robbed a restaurant/bar at machete point, then when the cops came, he charged at them swinging and they shot him dead. After that, his friends and family said he was a good kid and was a hero. No he fucking wasn't. He was a criminal scum trying to kill people. The world is a better place without people like these idiots.

Why would he feel worse about himself? He's not the dead one.

Anyway, I would point back to the 33,808 statistic. OP's friend is one person. Less than a thousandth of a percent of the number of deaths in a previous year. I'm sure that many people said 'My thoughts go out to the family' and other such BS in every case, and look at what that's solved. If you condemn the dead for their idiocy, then perhaps less people would be willing to follow in their footsteps.

he's not feeling bad about himself though. He's feeling bad for the friend he's lost. A whole lot more personal than a soulless statistic. Your insensitive invalidation of his grief does make him feel worse. You're sounding an awful lot like the WBC and their picketing of the funerals of soldiers.

We don't offer our condolences to reduce the number of deaths, that's just silly. We offer our sympathy to help those grieving get through their grief. By your logic, condemning you for your insensitivity should reduce the amount of insensitive people out there, but I don't see that happening. So why not do the kind thing and keep your mouth shut, or alternately offer them some sympathy. It isn't going to make the situation worse, and your condemnations certainly isn't making the world a better place.

Twin sister died of Leukemia when I was eleven. All got nothing on me.

Sucks to be you, really. Wow. I have no twin brother/sister, heck, I am an only child and can only imagine how that must feel.

Damn, son. You have my sympathies. Also hugs to the OP.
To the rest: drinking and driving kills, DON'T DO IT!

The funny thing is, most people here probably think the same way but expressing that opinion means that you're "mean" and "insensitive" and all that shit.

Personally, I think it's better to be an honest asshole than a nice liar.

As for the topic:
If he was a good friend, it sucks. However, he was asking for it. It was a dumb decision and the outcome proves that. His friends and family will suffer because of this dumb decision.
To me, drunk driving equals (aside from the obvious death wish) attempting murder.

My condolences.

My cousin passed away in July due to a drunk driving accident. She was the passenger and her bf was driving and he ran into a train. I dont blame her (she wasnt driving drunk) but I do blame her bf for being an idiot. He survived and faces 3-14 years in prison for killing her and taking her away from her 2 kids. It's not right and it's not fair that these things happens.

*hugs*

It's not a competition.

But it is Australian humour. You can pick them a kilometre off.

O/T My condolences for your loss OP, it must be hard for you and I hope you can find peace with it.

Know how you feel bro, a few year ago when I was 14 a good friend and classmate died in a car accident because of speeding. As much as it hurts, the anger is still there about thinking it was funny to speed and cause an accident. Makes for very confused thoughts of sympathy then no sympathy.

 

[Evil Smurf]

the funeral is in a couple of hours time, you have been so helpful guys. I would like to believe he is in a better place now, Gah rambling

You are that kinda guy that goes into a "This game is hard" thread and posts that you found it very easy and that you beat it within 2 hours.
It contributes nothing to the thread whatsoever and only insults the OP and serves no function other than to boost your own ego.

Which is exactly what you are doing here.

"Look at me, I don't care about people dying. I am so hardcore and cool."

Congratulations, you have the social skills and empathy of a troglobyte. Please do not post anymore in similar threads.

Congratulations. This was the most inappropriate, childish, disregard for basic human courtesy of a grieving person's death I've seen in a while. You could seriously give those Westboro Baptist Church guys a run for their money.

Honestly, did no filter or lights go off in your head? Maybe a voice saying "this probably isn't a very smart thing to say.

You could get all tear-y eyed and say 'That's so bad! I feel so bad for you OP and it's a shame that somebody died so young!'. But that changes nothing. Take this as a lesson and move on.

Someone's friend just died and you are lecturing him in 'drinking and driving is bad'.

Yeah, I really wouldn't want you at anyones funeral service.

On a more sympathetic note...

*points* troll. *points* bag of food. *Shakes head sternly*

OT: That sucks. Obviously it isn't the same, but my dog was killed by some douche drunk van driver grinding up on the pavement. My dad barely had time to boost himself up onto the wall.

Ironically, a stiff drink probably wouldn't go amiss for you right now.

1 guy from my high school died. We laughed our asses of and cheered. Cold? Sure. But the guy was a dick. Everyone knew it was a matter of time. Only horrible part about it is that he got stabbed in the throat on his wedding day, so we had more sympathy for his family and bride rather then himself.

Call it morbid curiosity, but what's the story behind that?

I was stabbed a few months ago with a letter opener (something that a quick web search revealed also happened to Martin Luther King, which is interesting), in any case, it healed well so the scar isn't too impressive besides being four inches long from where the blade gashed.

In any case, a lot of people are taking the piss out of it despite the fact that I incapacitated my attacker, limped home, and lost around three pints of blood before being able to clean the wound with alcohol bind it up unassisted. According to what sources I can find, after three pints I should have fainted. And yet they laugh. I'm not traumatized or anything (though that was one of the jokes they made) but I'd appreciate a little sensitivity on the issue.
