Tortured Soul Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 He was still a kid and this is the kind of website a kid would put up. I'm more surprised that the son of an NFL head coach would be attending a community college. I mean, if George W. Bush could get into Yale... 540207[/snapback] Remember Gregg Williams and the running backs coach missing practice to take their kids together to Princeton?

Kelly the Dog Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yea but all that doesn't make one worldy.....Don't know who has a website like that but I'd lay dollars to donuts that they are all talkin the slack and from what I've read he just didn't get to hop on the plane whenever he wished, take snapshots with the pres. big deal I can do that for a $200 donation at election time.......I never blamed 50 cent just the whole sub-culture.....It's funny how the hip-hop world fails to execpt any blame for the crap they promote....thats like saying the greatful dead never caused anyone to drop acid...just plan ludicris......... 540233[/snapback] Then how come people hearing love songs and seeing other people always wearing clean clothes doesn't make everyone love each other more, or make everyone take more showers or use their iron more?

pdh1 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 On his myspace: 540257[/snapback] Good God, people who list the "DC SNIPERS" as their heroes should be neutiered so they don't have the chance to breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnyguy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I hope those who are passing on the links of condolence threads to the Colts organization have enough sense to actually read it before linking it. I am ashamed of some of the people who have posted here. A young man is dead. Family and friends grieve that loss. Show at least a minimum of compassion, of human decency.

The Hornell Kid Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 RIP James I have a feeling this story is going to take on other aspects of the hip-hop life style as this appears to be his website....I found the link on the colts board; http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendID=41899442 540117[/snapback] Anything you see on a myspace website should be taken as a joke.

HurlyBurly51 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 No, I actually think it's more a reflection of America's fixation with celebrities. Hundreds of people die a tragic death every day (and I won't even get into the aspect of sucide being a selfish act.) People seem to pick and choose what constitutes a RIP post based on the level of celebrity. Someone posts RIP John Candy and it gets 100 response. Someone else may post a RIP random 80's one hit wonder star and it might get 5. Meanwhile, 99 other people may have just died as well but you'll never hear or give a passing thought to it. I feel for the Dungy family, but no more then I feel for the other family who lost a son today and I never will base my feelings of a death on the level of celebrity. Anytime you do it is for purely selfish reasons and you're no better then others who have a different response. 540162[/snapback] I think you missed my point. I wasn't referring to the volume of responses, but the repsonse itself. And whether it was directed towards celebrity or not does not matter. It was in poor form, dripped with self absorption, and was IMHO a microcosm of larger societal issues. Whether you're on a football board or not, and whether you believe it does any good or not, the lack of any compassion and the callousnous in the response tells me all I need to know.

You know, I was going to avoid suggesting they look under the couch for him...but your post makes that look relatively tame... 540109[/snapback] You know its a rough thread when you add a relatively compassionate voice...

How many responses in this thread had a apathetic attitude and how many had a feeling compassion? If you take the percentage I'd make the arguement that society in general seems to be overall very compassionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are signs all over the place that indicate a slow downward degradation in societal standards and the way people treat each other. I don't believe it to be a majority, but I do perceive a growing trend of this self absorption, entitlement type of attitude prevailing throughout.
