I would love it if my children or grand children made light of the way I died....life sucks and some of the ways that we end this life sucks even worse...I love to make light of things that are really depressing and sad. I expect my children/grandchildren to make fun of the way I die...I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a "different" type of sense of humor. I would think it a great honor if my children/grandchildren dressed up like me for Halloween in a humorous way. (Running around with a colostomy bag, diaper, iv drip, etc.)
My funeral will not be a regular funeral...it will be a massive party. I am already preparing for my funeral. What I am doing now is putting together a list of my top 25 favorite songs. This list changes every now and then. I expect this music to be distributed at the funeral party so everyone can know what I liked...I hope that one day some of my music can make that list. At the party, there will be video games, food, dancing, etc.

I dont understand how joking about murder is ok.
I don't really know how to explain it to you but I find some ways of murder to be humorous. I am usually the only one in the theater that laughs out loud when someone dies in a gruesome way in the movie theater. Wouldn't you find it hilarious if I died having sex? I would love to "go out" that way. As far as finding humor in murder....well, I don't want to really go into details because I don't want people to think that I am a potential serial killer. 😉
However, I think that some situations, humour should be reserved for friends and family. In my opinion, there is a line that can be crossed with humor when it comes to the dead...that line is very thin and it really depends on how the friends and family knew the individual as far as deciding what type of humor about the situation is appropriate. (For instance, I would not find it funny of my dead body was desecrated sexually by friends and family....that is an extreme example but you get what I mean...honor the dead person by not crossing the line that you believe the person wouldn't want you to cross..)

Wow, where do I even start? Firstly, I can't believe you spelled Aussie wrong. Secondly, what does my nationality have to do with it? Seems like someone is a little jealous that I'm closer to Japan than they are. Thirdly, way to go on addressing a small part of the post, and missing the point of what I said, idiot.

Woah, how amazing. I didn't realise someone could suck so much at covering up the fact they have nothing intelligent at all to add to the conversation, this is just sad.
Originally posted by Kram3rDone now starting crap just to feel included? Grand. You're done now.

You want to have a conversation with someone? Then don't start off by calling them an idiot and if choose to do so anyway, not caring, then don't expect the other person to care either douche bag.
Starting stuff just to feel like you belong doesn't make you cool.
Amazing the lengths, no matter how pitiful, people will go just to start a needless altercation.
Also, I love how I'm an idiot for stating a fact, which you later state in the next sentence:

Not to mention the fact that you earlier said:

So the next time you have a chip on your shoulder and want to rampage through a thread every time somebody says something that you don't agree with or just for the fun of it.........make sure you pick the right one, because I'm the wrong one.

Dont bother arguing with InnerRise, hes just the resident troll.

So what, now you're willing to talk? Don't tell me how to start a conversation. I'll start a conversation anyway I want to. Also, you're the last person on this board who should be giving lectures about conversations. The amount of questions and arguments you've dodged on this forum, not to mention the trolling, is unbelievable.

Not to mention I was agreeing with another member who you actually was polite to, which is further proof that you went out of your way to start mess with me.
No, I said it because only idiots state the obvious once it's been stated.

Great way to take things out of context, but then again I'm not surprised when it comes to talking with you. The two on purposes I stated are entirely different. The first "on purpose" is addressing them on whether or not they dressed as such to be "controversial" in the public arena. The "on purpose" I addressed to you was the fact that they dressed like that with the intention of dressing as such.

Who the hell are you? I'm messing with the "wrong" person? Yeah, you're totally the Van Damme of the forum. 🙄
Originally posted by Kram3rIt doesn't matter if I'm okay with it or not. It's called Freedom of speech and that's what's okay about wearing these costumes.
You heard the expression legal and ethical? If something is legal its doesnt mean its ethical. For example I dont think women still have the same rights as men (could be wrong cant remember the exact details), you can sue somebody if you break into their house and you hurt yourself.
Furthermore you never have absolute freedom there are always limits. Hey have the right to offend people why cant I just spit in peoples faces?
Originally posted by AlfheimCause that's assault. People do not have the right not to be offended. If you start with that why not be offended by what a person is wearing? Or if they have socialist ideas, why not ban those, they are offensive to me? Or someone saying Beckham is the best footballer ever, that's offensive, why not ban that?

Yeah so? Making fun of somebodies death is emotional assault? Like I said its ok if its private but when you put stuff like that in the public domain there is significant chance you well hurt the relatives.

Thats not the same as making fun of somebodies death.....c'mon man. Its just an excuse to act like ****.
Originally posted by AlfheimI take it you will be the one to decide what is allowed and what not in your brave new world? Making fun of death, not allowed. Making fun of obesity, allowed. Making fun of skin colour, not allowed. Making fun of small stature, allowed.

You could write up a code, so all people know exactly what they are allowed to wear and say.

Did I say that people shouldnt make fun of skin colour?
Did I say that people shouldnt make fun of small stature.
etc
I said making fun of people who have been murdered. Its a no-brainer your mother gets stabbed in a mugging and somebody makes fun of it that person is going to be very very pissed off an,d if you did that you would be an ***hole.
Originally posted by AlfheimNo, it's not a no brainer. You make it out to be one. I value the freedom of millions of people over the emotions of one person, that a) shouldn't be offended and b) wouldn't likely know anyways.

And there shouldn't be a law against being an *******. They might be assholes, but they should be allowed to do it.
And what I said about skin colour wasn't referring to anything you said, it was just showing how you took it on yourself to decide what's allowed and what isn't. Like, where you single handedly decided for all of us that dressing as victims of a random shooting shouldn't be allowed and that it is "common sense".
Just because something is within the bounds of the Constitution and free speech, does not mean it should be undertaken. We certainly condemn these ugly and senseless actions.
That's the point, it should be allowed, though I see no reason why they should do it.
What's really funny is how people can say "hey, it's freedom of speech...they can wear whatever they want to," --which is fine---but are the first to start whining in other threads when someone hurts their feelings by "offending" them.
p.s. The following should go without saying, but I'm not pointing specific fingers, for that statement could be made in 99% of the threads.
