One of my friend just died and someone just said this.

[omega 616]

I know I am never the only one but ... am I the only one who thought that came across as rather light hearted for a murder story? I am not an expert in detailing murders but usually the words "horrific" and "shocking" are thrown around. They even describe finding the body as an "accident", isn't it usually "so and so found the body"? Just doesn't seem to be written seriously.

On topic. If you belive in god and heaven and the rest of it, then wouldn't going to heaven be a good thing? Probably not the first thing on her wish list of birthday presents though.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

well, you can't really tell them how they should handle that situation

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Ok, first off, my deepest sympathies.


Secondly, Those people making those comments on her facebook are stupid insensitive jerks. Or just incredibly stupid. If they want to greive in that way, that's their business, but posting that in public? ....!@#$ing stupid.

Sentiments: Good.

Tact: INTENSE FAILURE.

Precisely.

 

[StBishop]

I don't think it's exactly wrong to say it. But I do think he's being a massively insensitive ****. The best thing to do is offer sympathies to the girl's family and leave it there.

This is pretty much how I feel.

I believe in the/an afterlife but I would never make a light hearted comment about someone's death. It's disrespectful.

Facebook is on the internet. Anonymity strikes again.

That's all there really is to say. I don't find it at all hard to believe that some human beings did not care at all that someone died.

A lot of people walk around wishing death on others.

It's just a fact that human beings harbor good AND evil inside them.

I'm not siding with them at all, just saying it's not surprising to me.

 

[Boba Frag]

I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I know you must be in a world of hurt right now.

The facebook comments are asinine at best, but don't let yourself get too upset over that.
It's only a web page- I'm sure your mutual friends are all feeling the same as you.

It might help if you didn't look at her page for a few days, at least that way you won't see anything to upset you further.

 

[theheroofaction]

I wouldn't say what they're doing is wrong, they're wishing her well in the next life, in their own weird little way, I would have worded it differently though.

 

[blaize2010]

Stop being a pussy people grieve in weird ways let it go.

]did you really just say that he should stop being a pussy? what an insensitive jackass you are

 

[Lullabye]

We'll, I'd be pissed off but that's because I'm non-religious. I can't really see how this is offensive from a religious point of view. i would suggest just rolling with it. Ignore them.

 

[Fraught]

Ha, a bigger surprise from God?

"Surprise, you're fuggin' dead! But wait! I've a bigger surprise! You're going to spend an eternity in HELL!"

I mean wow. I don't know why I do it to such an extent, but I hate people who "grieve" over peoples' deaths by saying that they "went to a better place", and they'll have "fun up in heaven with an omnipresent Jesus doin' the coolest shit evrar". Seriously, fuck you.

I mean, sure, I think grieving over someone and mourning them forever is pointless, but that's not grounds enough to mockingly imply it's better that someone is not among the living anymore.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

It's just the "in a better place now" rhetoric you always get when someone dies, albeit dressed up in net-speak...and a little insensetive.

No point dwelling on words...I wouldn't dwell on the loss of your friend for too long either, that shit will fuck with you.

 

[Xerxesrogue]

It would probably been an acceptable comment in a completely christian dominated community, and family. However, that is not the case. It's far from mandatory to be christian, and that makes posting that on someone's facebook sort of disrespectful to friends and family, if the victim does not share those beliefs. If she was a christian herself I would perceive criticizing those posts intolerant though.

 

[DementedSheep]

People grieve in different ways. From the sound of the comments these were friends and they were probably crying their eyes out when they wrote that. Some people have drinking and a party for funerals, where they share funny stories and talk about all the good times they had with the person who died. It?s not that they don?t care or are happy the person died it?s just another way of handling it and getting thru grief and if religious some chose to focus on the idea that they are in a better place which is what they seem to be doing. I doubt those comments where intend as disrespectful and they are likely just as upset as you tho perhaps they should have thought about how others might interpret it more and a day after is a bit soon.
I know it probably means very little from a stranger on the internet but I am sorry for your loss.

 

[bdcjacko]

I think that it is demonstrating a consistent world view. If you honestly believe there's a magic kingdom of cake and butterflies waiting for people when they die, and then someone dies, it makes sense to be like "Oh man, I am so jealous, this must be so cool for you!".

If you honestly believe someone has gone to a genuinely "better" place, you'd celebrate that.

Of course, why these people would think this girl has continued access to facebook I have no idea...but I suppose if you're going to swallow the "Heaven" nonsense then "Heaven with facebook" isn't exactly a huge leap...

They have computers and the highest speed internet access in heaven.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

Sorry for the loss bro, but

Christian school

This really explains it.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

This is just disrespectful.

 

[Exterminas]

Sure it is distasteful, but look at it this way:

If there is a heaven, and she is there, she will be happy.
If there is a heaven, and she isn't there, she has got bigger problems.
If there is no heaven, she won't care.

This brand of insensitivity directed towards a dead person is pretty pointless, because it doesn't really insult the relatives. Or does it? I suck at this stuff, because I hate my fellow men and never experienced any loss that meant something to me.

 

[Misho-]

I don't mean to sound rude, but if she was 15 years old then most of her friends are around that age category and hence probably inmature. Look, Facebook is bollocks... What should you care what they (the peeps) write on there??? She's not going to care. What you (and everyone else) should care is that there is a dangerous person near your school and that he/she should be brought to justice.

Focus on that.
