Post subject:  Did Boston over do it?
Outside of paying respects to those who lost their lives in the Boston bombings, was the series of events, productions, speeches, etc a bit of a city being a drama queen?

I didn't watch every moment of it (and it could still be going on), but I would think a nice ceremony with a memorial remembering the lives of those injured and killed.

When I tuned in, it looked like a convention in a hotel conference hall and anyone who ever held a political office in Boston gave a speech.

I guess everyone deals with in their own way, but if was a member of my family I would appreciate the memorial and a few words, but at some point I would be insulted at the grandstanding of the event.

Yes, overdone at every level. You're not "strong" because you were locked in your house while the federal government went six-star GTA. Sorry, chief. Wicked hahd reality, chief.

You can't criticize them about it, though, because Boston Strong turns into Boston Sensitive really fast.

Everything in America is overdone. We have forgotten what "hard times" really means

Wonder why other countries hate us? We have a game show in our country called Survivor. That's a game in our country ...You can win a million dollars for surviving on a place where people already live. Do you realize what kind of message that sends? Not a good one! 'Excuse me, I've been here for 60 years. May I have some bread?' 'Haha!!! No! We're Americans! This is a game! OH NO! We don't have our cell phones! This is so hard!'

You never know how much you miss a person, until they gone
Like to hear it? Hear it go, I'm rehearsing, gotta sing my song
I know I've done some wrong, but I can't get right
Cause life is like a big fight
I'm stickin-and-movin, tryin to get my shit right
My family's been houndin me, friends they done turned against me
Kinda like they hearts was on a full tank, but now they empty
And they say I've changed, but like twins I'm just the same
It's because of my job, mo' money mo' prob in this dirty game
This industry FUCKED UP
That's right I said it, and it's fake as ever
Keep real niggaz around me, stay "Space Age 4 Eva"
Po-ppa never went and jumped the broom, never got that one degree
But if you looked down from heaven, you'd still be proud of me
Your son was DUI, but my momma made it by
I didn't shed no tears when you left me
but the rest of the family cried
Trials and tribulations, ruined my concentration
Losin my patience, hard times for goodness sake'n

The only people who should have any lingering trauma over this are the few people injured and the loved ones of the dead. Everyone else is just begging for unnecessary and unearned sympathy. They should be referred to the MSFMB.

I'm sure there were sponsors who loved it, though.

Yeah, I think so.

As some of you may know, my kid is in Irish step-dancing. The sister of the kid that was killed in the bombing was also a dancer and lost a leg. While I have tried to shield my daughter from what happened, it has been a topic of discussion several times, including at fund-raisers we have attended and as the anniversary approached. When you see the updates from the family, there is so much hurt and pain in their voice that you wonder how they could live on a day to day basis. There have multiple news stories on the family, so you know they are being inundated with requests about it.

We try too much to heal when its not necessary, or, something I hope is not happening, we use it for some personal benefit. Have a memorial ceremony and let's just try really hard to make sure this crap doesn't happen again in the future. That's all.

I've seen plenty of bombings and this one had all the character of the underpants bomber.

When it comes to Boston, is there a such thing as over doing it?

Boston is really really good at charging way too much for food and beer.

You wouldn't last a week in Survivor. Outwit (FFAIL) Outplay (FFAIL) Outlast (FFAIL) Most of those people in other countries are not living in a make shift shelter in the jungle. :lol:

America has taken to Twitter in response to leashyourkids' controversial thoughts, being accused of implied racism and stereotyping those who are truly suffering.
