Bengals' Chris Henry Suffers Serious to "Life-Threatening" Injury...

Predictable describes way too many things on this BBS lately.

 

And it's really sad. How a thread like this can result in personal insults, "dark humor" (one of the most asanine things I've read), and the inclusion of TMac is beyond me. You hold out hope that in instances like this people can at least convey some sort of moral decency. Apparently that's not the case

 

Its really not that surprising.


We're talking about a forum where a guy on a motorcycle was killed trying to jump the Great Wall of China and it was mostly nothing but joke fodder.

 

Welcome to the internet.

Death/injury threads always degenerate into this back and forth between the offended and the offenders.

 

Just another unexpected death to finish off this black 2009.


**** you 2009.

 

That's true

 

Really? YOU are pulling that card?

 

this seems like a life lesson to me. you are only allowed so many "mistakes" before one of them catches up with you. he really had no business doing what he did with 3 kids at home. he could have let the situation blow over. he did not. it's sad but he created this situation from poor decision-making imo. obviously, he couldn't have known how this would end but, the minute he decided to hop in the back of the truck, he screwed up royally. he obviously made more mistakes after that because you don't just fall out of a truck if you are sitting down. he either tried to jump out or was thrown out because he was standing.

 

Honestly, this forum is normally pretty tame by internet standards. I only visit this site, and boxing and MMA forums (which flame wars happen every 30 seconds), but I have yet to notice anyone even make light of this situation.

 

Are you referring to the fact that I called you a scumbag because of your comment? If that's the case, guilty as charged.

 

and moes pathetic, but heaven forbid anyone else throw personal insults. EGAD!

 

Never called Moes pathetic. I referenced a particular comment. That said, he clearified what he meant to say and I apologized to him. He, unlike yourself, has class. Just calling it like I see it.

 

seconded

 

We must have different definitions of the word "need."

btw, aren't you a Steelers fan? something tells me you weren't lolling when you found out about Roethlisberger's vehicular incident. (if you're not a steelers fan, i guess i just have you confused with someone else).

 

Yeah, CF.net actually is pretty civil compared to most.

 

I didn't lol at Roethlisberger's accident, but I called him an idiot for not having a helmet as a steelersfan. I wouldn't have minded if they had taken his salary for the year either. Seriously, people who drive motorcycles w/out wearing helmets are asking fate to intervene.

If he had died, I probably would have laughed. Would have been just as stupid of a death as this one.

 

You know what, come to think of it, I think I would laugh if LT tripped on a McDonald's bag, fell down the stair and broken his neck.

That would be hilarious!

 

If you didn't lol @ the accident when he didn't die why would you laugh at it if he did die?

 

Skipped some pages (apologize if it has been mentioned), this thread reminds me of the Chinese BMX-er thread.
