Seriously you read about people who die young, and people always pretend to care after they are already dead like “omg, this is so sad, they could’ve acomplished so much, he had a bright future ahead of him! wHaT a tRaGeDy, iF oNlY wE cOuLd’vE FoRSeEn tHiS”…

why didn’t y’all do anything while they were still alive? hypocrites…

    Sure but both you and that pastor clearly understand why saying that to the whole church would not have served any purpose and made you look like an asshole, right?

      I thought that was the obvious subtext of the statement but apparently did not adequately account for variations in reading comprehension.

        LOL. No is not that obvious.

        Me: “Saying mean things about dead people makes you an asshole”

        You: “Yeah well my dead brother was an asshole”

        Comprehension indeed.

          It’s nice to say things about people who have passed away

          eh some people are abusive assholes who deserve to be remembered for it but sometimes a positive adult authority figure can help you process it in a healthier and more socially acceptable way that doesn’t piss the rest of the family off so you can make the informed decision to cut them all off as an adult after they’re done paying for your college. Eventually someone will have to step up and be the family asshole who says the ugly shit that needs to be said, but it’s not a responsibility that should be placed on a 16y/o.

        Starting the comment with idk implies that you are starting a counter argument. As in, I don’t know if that’s true…

          lol you really tryna introduce debate etiquette to the comments section when you they also answered “but you…clearly…right?” implying certainty that I did, which you they were correct about. And now you also somehow wanna continue after someone already told you you said they were right by asking if internet slang is a form of textual chironomia.

            That wasn’t me. I’m a third party who read the conversation between the two of you and decided that your extra snark was uncalled for.
