I am F**KING ashamed of some people here and their Valero comments!!!!

[DaxxKahn]

I haven't seen any postings from anybody laughing about what happened.

I made a light hearted remark about the South American police finding him innocent, just a jibe directed at the Gatti investigation, but I don't see how that is really laughing at tragedy or making light of people's deaths.

But exlaiming in CAPITAL LETTERS THAT IF PEOPLE WHO MADE JOKES WERE IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW YOU WOULD CHOKE THEM kind of puts you closer to the Valero mindset than someone who makes a joke.

Anyway, if you think what has been said up to now is bad wait until you read X's upcoming thread.


And all this trying to make out some of you are morally better than others is just ridiculous. It's a fact of human nature that 99% of us would be more concered about our own slight headache, than about 50,000 people being killed in an earthquake at the same time on the other side of the world. That's just human nature, and yes, you will have been guilty of that too, unless you are permantly wailing in the streets and waving end of the world placards in front of people's noses.

I have only read through the first page or so of this thread and this is the one that stands out for me. This is a message board on the internet and people will say things to rub people the wrong way and sometimes be less considerate than they otherwise would in real life. This often involves exaggerated humour.

What happened with Valero and recent events concerning him are no doubt tragic and god awful, but to start a rant and in that rant include a segment in capital letters saying you would choke them is also way off and not in any way rational, considerate nor noble.

I haven't made any jokes about it, but if anyone does (as I'm sure X will) then so be it. If humans can do anything well, it is to laugh at the absurdity and ridiculousness of situations of all kinds. It isn't always tasteful, but so be it. If you don't like it, you will just have to lump it.

Sorry Daxx, but I think you are being overly sensitive going by your original posting. Chill before you do indeed choke someone.

Obviously the "CHOKING" comment was figuratively not literal

Your previous two convictions might suggest otherwise.

But as you stated only SUGGEST
