There's a lot of assholes here who'd bring up the smartass comment.

I've long maintained that people are not here for others' entertainment. Should something happens in someone's family, and it's ___ (insert Kim Kardasian, Erik Kramer, Mike North, whomever's) family, snarky comments are called for. Would you be so snarky if it were your neighbor? Some of you, probably yes, but hopefully the neighbor hears of it and beats the shit outta yas.

A corollary to that is, that's why entertainers are paid so much. Kramer makes a bad judgement on the field, we get to hoot and holler. Kramer's wife, children, no.

OOH NICE AD HOMINEM, SHITHEAD!!! so now if anyone disagrees with you they're "children" and "insane" because CLEARLY JIMMYPASTA IS SOOOOO RIGHT THAT, DUH, ANYONE WHOSE VIEWS ARE ASKEW FROM HIS IS NOT A "SANE ADULT."

and to verify my "maudlin" remarks, now you're playing the "I HAVE A KID" card to back your shit up... come on man, alls i'm saying is why the fuck are you being so sanctimonious? i prefer the wikitionary definition of sanctimonious cuz it comes closest to what i feel the word means:

sanctimonious (comparative more sanctimonious, superlative most sanctimonious)
Making a show of being morally better than others, especially hypocritically pious.

so you're morally better than me, and i don't think you deny that you've gone and proven that, especially in the wake of letting everyone know that i'm an insane child.

so the next time that "a young life is snuffed out" and "it bothers [you] as a human being and a parent" i want you to be front and center with another thread. why, i fully expect you to comb the obituaries every day and keep us up to date on every young life getting snuffed out, cuz otherwise i think it'd be patently obvious that the only reason you gave a shit about this kid is that he was shot from the dick of a guy who QB'd for your beloved bears during the 1990s. if you wanna accuse me of being an "insane child" in the wake of my asking a perfectly warranted question (AGAIN: WHO THE FUCK NAMES THEIR KID "GRIFFEN???") then i'm going to be there to "flip the script" and call you a sanctimonious geezer for acting all high and mighty like your vaunted thread can only be a shrine to somebody that nobody on here knew or cared about before you floated in on your cloud of morality and tried to make us "pay our respects" for reasons i cannot personally fathom.

Oh well, I will never win poster of the day, whatever will I do with myself...
