pinkstones Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 I witnessed a close friend blow their brains out a few years ago. It was one of the most horrific, psychologically-scarring events of my life. It took months before I could eat and sleep like a normal person and even to this day, loud noises or bangs send a shiver up my spine. I can't imagine what those people felt when they saw this happen, whether he survived the attempt or not. When you witness something like this, it's a punch in the face.
Farin Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 whether he survived the attempt or not No, he died immediately - was it that what you were asking, UncleJoe? Sorry if I hadn't made that clear. here's a photo gallery that shows the mourning ceremony from tonight, the people in close ups are mostly high ranking football players or officials also the German National Team cancelled their Saturday match against Chile bummer, with both teams in top form that would have been a really interesting match
Uncle Joe Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 No Martin, I was just being a wiseass.
pinkstones Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 No, he died immediately Jesus. My immense sympathy to his family and friends and to those who witnessed this act.
Uncle Joe Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.
MarcM Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 i HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HAVING "gALLOWS hUMOR." iT IS DEFINATELY NOT APPRECIATED BY EVERYONE, SO i HAVE LEARNED TO TRY TO KEEP IT TO MYSELF OR ONLY SHOW THAT SIDE AROUND PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND. i GET IT, jOE!
pinkstones Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 I understand that for some people, gallows humor is a way to deal with immense tragedy. Laughter through tears, if you will. However for me, suicide was and always will be, a situation I cannot and will not ever find funny, nor will I ever understand how someone else can find it funny. If you've never witnessed someone's suicide, whether it was someone you knew or a total stranger, count yourselves extremely lucky. I wouldn't wish that kind of hell on my worst enemy.
MarcM Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 hUMOR IS A COPING MECHANISM. jUST NOT FOR EVERYONE.
Shawna Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 It's how I cope. I once made an off-color comment at a dear friend's wake. It actually lightened the mood and got people sharing their memories of him.
Farin Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 also the German National Team cancelled their Saturday match against Chile just saw that they're probably going to show Ireland vs France instead
MindCrime Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 NYC / Jersey area have the crappiest basketball teams.
Farin Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 New Zealand vs Bahrain 1:0 Kiwis at the World Cup
The Seeker Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Ireland vs France in a couple of minutes
The Seeker Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 0:1 I don't think I'm even going to watch the match next week
c_s_1987 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) New Zealand vs Bahrain 1:0 Kiwis at the World Cup Boo! Oh well, congrats to them. I can't see them making it past the group stage, but well done anyway. EDIT: 2500 posts! Edited November 15, 2009 by Guest
RonJonSurfer Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 NYC / Jersey area have the crappiest basketball teams. To say the Knicks and Nets are crappy is an insult to actual crappy teams...
MindCrime Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 To say the Knicks and Nets are crappy is an insult to actual crappy teams... The Knicks are 1-9 and the Nets are 0-10. Those are the worst records in the NBA as of right now.
MindCrime Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 The Chargers are finally tied with the Broncos, there's a chance they can win that division and go to the playoffs now.
Shawna Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 San Diego Super Chargers San Diego Super Chargers San Diego Super Chargers San Diego Super Chargers CHARGE!! :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana:
Farin Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 so if I understand it right, every division plays round robin style, and the winners go for the play-offs against the winners of the other divisions, and later the conference (very roughly), right? so, does anything happen to the teams that finish the round robin on the last place? or are they just humiliated and start fresh in trhe next season? sorry if that's a stupid question...
