I am saddened by the loss of anyone who willingly gave something positive back to his community.

Miles

Sad to hear…

Really sad.

WTF? I doubt anybody can be amused by a murder. What is so funny?

Edited , this post was not done by me.

               Peace, Sharkonis

Edited because it was all just a big misunderstanding between me and Shark. I’ll let him explain further if he wants. But, we cool.

Gothboy’s not off the hook, tho.

A thread about a dead person should definitely be derailed with petty bickering.

It’s a sad world we live in. I hope his loved ones recover and the perpetrator is brought to justice.

That’s SO close to where I live

In the same spirit, I am also thankful you are not a cop. This "moron " is happy you only hold power over convicts. Of course, I may need to rethink my belief most prisoners are getting what they deserve.

Note, since you are not an “uptight dipshit,” I’m certain you won’t take offense…

Self-righteous indignation FTW!

It’s no big deal that you said “LOL, TKD,” on an internet forum, but you coulda at least put a tagline after it expressing condolences. Just 'cause its an internet forum doesn’t mean that some respect can’t be shown.

But, to each their own.

lol, as I type this, I just noticed that you’re a TKD BB. Kinda makes sense now.

but you coulda at least put a tagline after it expressing condolences.

While I judge no one else for doing so, I kinda find expressing “serious” condolences for the deaths of people that you don’t actually know to be… fake. And somewhat pretentious. So, I generally avoid it.

Shiiiiiiat, I was crying all fucking morning about this old woman that died in Kazakhstan last night.

Exactly.

And, LOL, Kazakhstan.

I actually know people in Kazakhstan being forced out of their homes and land right now…

ABUSE OF POWER FTW!

But actually, instead of trying to expand your monkeysphere too far, why not just empathize that people geting shot and killed is considered in general a bad thing, and thus express sadness that someone else has to go through distress? Hell, if it’s that hard to consider others in the world, express condolences through a simple phrase like “Getting shot and dying sucks, dude.”

That is correct, He is banned from any computer in the house until the first of the year, and man you would not believe what an effective punishment this is for a 14 year. His whole world is collapsing, lol.

For those of you who are not aware, one of my younger, self righttious, rebel without a cause sons found my laptop still logged in to Bullshido and decided to do a little posting.

So far I only know of a post towards Matt. but should any of you have an issue with me or a recent post within the past few days, please ask me first. Im really a nice guy.

However I claim full responsibility for his actions, I humble and appologize to Matt for whom this troll attack was aimed at and the rest of the forum who may have found this post offensive or disrespectfull. Peace

                                                                             HT3h real Sharkonis.
