You know, some people get to where they are without a whole lot of luck and opportunity. Ever heard of hard work, drive, and intelligence?

Re: RIP Steve McNair

Izzy clearly doesn't understand the concept of personal connection and mourning.

Not everyone connected to us has to be immediate family for us to care about their deaths. Saying "they're no different from anyone else" is missing the point. If your mother dies, it would be very rude of us to say "Who cares, Izzy, people die every day. Stop being a pussy."

Your comments are very ignorant and disrespectful. Take your idiocy and closemindedness elsewhere. If you don't care about other human beings then don't come in here and discredit the feelings of others. You do it in every damn death thread and it's totally inappropriate.

I really doubt he'd think it was really disrespectful if you did say that because he realizes people die every day and wouldn't expect you to care if his mother died. Of course, he probably wouldn't be posting about something like that on the internet to begin with.

First post asked for thoughts on the subject. He gave his thoughts. If what you wanted was a thread entirely devoted to praising McNair's life and mourning his death, don't ask for other people's thoughts on the matter as each person will feel differently on the subject.

Re: RIP Steve McNair

Wow you are a dick. There is nothing mysterious about celebrities dieing. They aren't any more special then any other of the thousands of people that die everyday. It sucks, but get over it. You didn't know these people and I really doubt you are personally effected by it.

i aree with izzy, sorry guys its the truth.

Re: RIP Steve McNair

There are many events that occur every day that are indeed tragic, but it doesn't mean it's appropriate to discredit their significance for that purpose alone.

If you want to look at things in a pure sense, we know OF famous people BECAUSE they are famous. And out of the people we know, we connect with a subset of that group for various reasons. This is why, say, we don't mourn random Aunt Shirley off in Randomfsck, Idaho. We don't know her, and we haven't formed any connection.

Even if all the OP did was ask about thoughts, it's a dick move regardless to say "People die every day. Glad you guys are noticing now," or whatever. Given the context of his message, it was clearly a rude comment meant to make light of the fact that people were mourning someone that Izzy didn't care about and merely considered "part of the commonplace deaths that occur all the time anyway."

So yeah, it's inappropriate.

Re: RIP Steve McNair

I hope izzy dies next. Really hoping his family doesn't care.

It just is barbaric to say something like that.

EDIT: Going to be honest here, didn't realize the bottom text was associated with the above text :\

Re: RIP Steve McNair

no i believe it is the truth. how are celebrities lives anymore important then yours or mine. im not saying deny them from being noticed when they die, but its not our problem. its a family matter and by the next day all us "normal" people who didnt know them personally wont give a **** anymore. we are just that way as people.

Re: RIP Steve McNair

people connect with celbraties- they look up to them as role models and some strive to be like them and accomplich similar goals- its a personal connection and it affects people- and seriously if someone that played ffr died id be right there giving my respects to them- hell if anyone died and made a post id give my condolances and my respect- i wouldnt be like oh **** didnt know em sucks to be you

Re: RIP Steve McNair

no i believe it is the truth.

It's your opinion on the issue.

Celebrities are people, they have the same rights as you and I, and they live and die, we all do. But different people will have different effects on others, and the importance of that impact varies with each individual.

Obviously, you and Izzy were unaffected, and that's fine. It's just uncool to stir something like this up for the sake of stirring it up. There's no point.

Re: RIP Steve McNair

well then im just another ffr ass so add me to the list.

in any case i will say his death is tragic, and i hope he can rest in peace, but thats all id say for anyone else as well.

Re: RIP Steve McNair

Not trying to cause a conflict. Just posting my thoughts.

Re: RIP Steve McNair
