In thinking about it, I was more intrigued by the weird angle than the death angle. You saw a child being killed and the tragedy therein, and I saw a moron committing a crime over an Xbox and the humor therein. Plus, I admit that I do have a certain fascination with death. I'm so afraid of it that I have to joke about it. |

I feel for your tragic loss. |
Okay, if Chiefs_Mike_Topeka is here, I surrender unconditionally. I deal only in the realm of the hypothetical, not in reality.

The hours of thrills I had growing with my 360...watching myself grow from a lonely staff captain getting made fun of by 12 year old prepubescent teenage boys...to dominating the Ninja scene and becoming a 5 star general...being the leader of my clan...a Bungie superstar... All that down the drain because of a little dust and a machine lacking a cover...was it overused? Perhaps...but there is simply no amount of words that can describe my significant loss...as this MeatyDragonMan (one of my live names) has signed off (for now). (Keep in mind this is the same machine that helped me watch 159 episodes of '24'...without this machine Jack Bauer may not be a part of my life, and I'm convinced he's my real father, so...) |
All I'm saying is...
If, before my 360 red lighted last week, someone gave me the choice between taking a human life or losing my xbox, I can tell you from my end that it would be the toughest decision I'd ever have to make... Tougher than one of those hypothetical situations where you have the choice of killing your brother or your sister, and you have to choose or they both die...type scenarios. Or the ones where you are given an ultimatum like 'would you have sex with your mother for $1,000,000...even though I don't even consider that a tough decision because I'd do that in a second. |
I agree with ChiTown. There are plenty of other threads to spread your comedic wings and flaunt your wit. This is not one of them. JMO.

HAVE I RUINED THIS THREAD YET?

seriously. read what you typed out loud. it's not funny. this is a thread about a little girl being murdered, and people come in and have to make jokes. it's okay to just read a thread once in a while without making an insensitive, complete failure of an attempt at humor. |
Fine.
By that logic, why does a story like this need to ever be in print? Shouldn't the family of the little girl be able to grieve without the entire world knowing she died over a friggin' Xbox? A story so tragic that happened for such a dumb reason that is out there for everyone to read is going to end up becoming a mockery to those not directly involved 100 times out of 100. |
Hootie! Run! They're swarming us! The caring and empathetic parents are swarming us! And they hold the moral high ground!
