I'm sticking to my guns, and will not say shit about the guy, wether he was a good human being or not. And I have a feeling you do not know, why I posted what I did.

Elnombre Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 See unlike some of the stupid cocksuckers on this board, I do not post negative shit about the person in question, out of RESPECT.So someone dies and instantly everyone's supposed to pretend they were some sort of saint? Dying is a natural process, not an achievement.You can't expect people to respect someone who had so little respect for the people closest to him.

I know the guy was no saint, but out of respect for the fact that he has just passed, I won't make comments about him. Some people do fucking care you know?The whole reason I brought this up, was because there is another thread about someone who has passed, and being a great person, is still getting shit on. Understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dying is a natural process, not an achievement.You can't expect people to respect someone who had so little respect for the people closest to him.theres a subtle difference between pretending someones a saint and being tactful. example, Keith Moon dies, someones at his funeral, they dont go "he was a good man, a trail blazing drummer extrodinaire...bit of a dickhead though huh? i mean he acted like a total cock when he was drunk. embarassed so many people around him. and that solo album, what WAS he thinking? oh well, ashes to ashes"hmm?

Not acknowledging it is dishonest.yeah but...point being, theres a time to do these things. theres bad points about everyone on this earth, me and you included (surely not!! not us!!) but when someone passes away, unless they were inherently evil like Hitler or something you dont dissect the poor bastards. if that was the case, theres very few rock stars whoose passing you could mourn without a laundry list of negative points. we aint St Peter at the pearly gates, we're just normal folk and Ike had any number of commendable qualities.
