Do people really stoop this low when someone dies?

Death is insignificant.

There are two twin girls in my homeroom
who use their dead sister's ID to get into clubs and get alcohol.

By the way, their sister died while drunk driving. I still don't understand that.

or skip reading to go to the flagpole and pray.

I hope you go to a religious school because otherwise they're breaking the law.

prayer that is not in any way endorsed or directed by the school is not illegal. If students are given leave from class to mourn, they are not proscribed from using that time to pray.

Why would I feel bad about exploiting a tragedy that doesn't impact me in the slightest, especially when the opportunity to do so neither harms nor diminishes anything or anyone? If someone can come up with an answer better than "because" or "it seems wrong" i'll consider it.

A similar situation happened to me a few months ago. Lots of people were crying and talking about it for days. I didn't know the teacher so it didn't affect me.

Yesterday one of my schools most beloved teachers died in a car crash and the school spent most of today talking about her. I never had her as a teacher and wasn't as heartbroken but there were tears flying everywhere today. All day kids were getting free passes to sign the giant poster for her memorial or skip reading to go to the flagpole and pray. Some teachers let kids skip some of there classes as a refuge. Now I didn't do any of those since I never met her and I would feel like an imposter.

I could not get this feeling out of my head that some kids were just doing all of this to skip class or not read. Some kids I think were fake crying or pretending to be sad for attention. It is bothering me a lot how a human can step so low just so they get out of work. Some kids were absolute jerks and laughed when one of our Muslim teachers sung in his native language in honor of her. Some kids blurted out how they are glad that she died. Stupid idiots without a soul who never met this lady.

I just cant believe the human filth in this world.

Those, scruffy, headed, nurfhurders!

But in all seriousness, what a bunch of assholes...

Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap including people. What you do with the people who took advantage of this situation is document it and remember it for future reference.

People fight like children over the wills of their loved ones.

A teacher they didn't know probably didn't mean much to some, though some people simply react very emotionally. Take Princess Diana's death - people didn't know her but they suffered mass hysteria or sadness at her death. It's perplexing, but sometimes death just affects people.

Other people are just sick, and vile, and yeah... I'm sure a few of the kids didn't care a bit about her but took advantage.

 

[Grayjack]

Something like that happened last year, except we weren't allowed to skip classes or anything. All we had was a wall and a photo book devoted to her.

Perfect example is that pathetic excuse for a human being, Ted Nugent.
When Darrel "Dimebag" Abbot from Pantera died, he badmouthed Darrel and slandered him, only after he was dead.
Ted Nugent was Dimebag's idol and hero and he'd performed multiple covers of Ted's.
Ted was the reason he got into playing guitar, and after all that, the prick slanders him in death.
Fuck you Ted Nugent!

don't dis on the Nugent! Dimebag lived his life on his cote tale.

anyways what dose Dimebag care. he's dead.

Hugent is a douchebag, don't defend him. He's a gutless retard who has no respect for the dead.

 

[Nmil-ek]

Meh that it? Hell I'd go to a funeral for the free food and the trip to the pub after.

 

[arc101]

Humans suck :\

Go team robot!

OT: This is awful, happened at my school when a friend of mine died on the operating table having her appendix removed. And the number of people who had never talked to her and didnt like her were crying and skipped class to go 'cry' in the toilets.

I'm a cynic, bite me.

 

[MelziGurl]

I had left school some time ago, but one of my favourite teachers not long ago passed away. She was 9 months pregnant (yes the baby died too) and I think they said it was a bloody clot that killed her. I didn't hear any slander of her but that doesn't mean someone out there wasn't doing it.

EDIT: Oh, and when I was in primary school 3 sisters who were brutally (and I mean brutally) tortured and murdered had a memorial set up by the school. I had only just started with this school, I was in grade 6 and mum and I decided to pay our respects. I had a group of girls say to me, "Why are you coming? You didn't even know them." It took me by suprise, I was also introverted because of past bullying but mum just said to me, "You don't have to know someone to show your respect for them." There was a fourth sister who wasn't present due to the extent of the torture she went through, their mother was also murdered.

It is easier to assume everybody is shit until they can prove themselves otherwise

Death is insignificant.

Not really.
When someone dies, they don't come back.
I'm not going to see them ever again & there's nothing I can do about that.
I find that pretty fucking significant, no?

Considering the fact that you were dead for billions of years before your brief period of life...it isn't significant. The significant thing is the fact that you are alive now.

Dead people don't care, because they're kind of...dead. I have no respect for them either. I'm not advocating pissing on peoples' graves, but if you do, they certainly won't mind.

i "popular" kid died in my school from cancer. People who didnt o him well wen to his funeral, just to get out off class. it sickens me.
