For Your Own Sake Don't Be This Man

Kicking the dead is fun. They have no rebuttal either.
 
"Don't speak ill of the dead"
One day it occurred to me why this might be good advice.
1. They are not here to defend themselves.
2. They cannot change. (As a living person could do)

And one more thing just occurred to me as I was typing this.
I believe there are things we cannot see.
Who's to say they aren't listening.....:rolleyes:

 
To me that's just carrying on the bitterness. What was the point?
Maybe he was just that much of a son of a bitch.

Every village has its idiot, every town has its Supreme Cocksucker.
There are people in my town that will be mourned by very few
 
To me that's just carrying on the bitterness. What was the point?

I'll play devil's advocate.
(Please excuse the figure of speech.)
If funerals are "for the living", perhaps this gives some satisfaction to the living.
I'm guessing that the author didn't say anything in the obit that was not said to his face.
Small consolations, maybe.
Maybe some justification too.
 
Well, if true, I admire the writer's honesty. If true, he had a very uncomfortable conversation with God and is now begging for ice water.

apparently this was the point...


If the idea of speaking ill of the dead disturbs you, Charpings daughter, the obit's author, assures you you're fortunate to miss the point.
"I am happy for those that simply do not understand, this means you had good parent(s) -- please treasure what you have," the woman told CNN affiliate KTRK in a statement.
"I apologize to anyone that my father hurt and I felt it would have been offensive to portray him as anything other than who he was," she also said. "This obituary was intended to help bring closure because not talking about domestic violence doesn't make it go away!"
She asked not to be named in the KTRK report.

Sometimes I see obituaries of people I've known and they leave me wondering "who the f#ck are they talking about?" Some of these obits are so over glorified that you wonder if the person who wrote them (probably the funeral director) even knew the deceased. I realize that the funeral and everything that goes along with it are for the people that are left behind so I guess that if stretching the truth about it makes them feel better, so be it. I personally think that it's kind of refreshing to see that this family is willing to face up to the truth of this bastard's sorry life. JMHFO.
 
R.I.P.

Exactly. Trying to show that sometimes the apple does fall a ways away from the tree.
 
I'd usually say "rest in peace" but it doesn't sound like he will
I think he's got a trip down to the "deep hot south"...

Sometime the truth & facts, hurts more, sometimes it's vindictive BS,
sometimes it's help for some closure for the tormented too, possibly {?}...

Not actually knowing the man, I don't know...
 
Sounds like those that will rest in peace is the family left behind
 
Anyone so bitter towards someone that was mentally ill will never be happy or satisfied. All around tragic.
 
Unfortunately, there are some who really are better off dead, both for themselves and especially for those who are the wreckage that they lefy behind.
 
It may seem disrespectful but I find it funny. In an episode of "Rescue Me", (One of my all time favorite TV shows ever!) Denis Leary , facing the ailing health of his Father, ranted about how everyone speaks so nice about a departed relative and how it was such bullshit.
I agree.
Some people are just ******** and hearing some truth about it is refreshing to me.
I am sick to the gills of today's cultural trend of being nice to ********, accepting **** we don't like or feel comfortable with, giving every loser a trophy...all of that stuff.
 
Seems like such a nice guy. Maybe his momma put him on the potty backwards causing his stellar behavior.
