wmw999 2,447 #1 April 14, 2003 Does anyone else's heart kind of go up in their throat when they see a couple of new threads in the Incidents forum, particularly on a weekend night? I'm really glad that tonight there's no news of friends broken or dead, and instead just lessons learned and discussed (or maybe beat to death ) Wendy W,There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

CrazyThomas 0 #2 April 14, 2003 NO. Mine doesn't. I'm a complete asshole. I feel that when shit happens, shit happens. So be it. I heard I was an accident waiting to happen. So, I wonder when. And I tire of waiting. I have had a few accidents, but nothing enough to talk about. But, until I burn in, I won't get told that everybody else TOLD ME SO. "TOLD YOU SO" I would love to hear that after I die. Doesn't matter when. I just hope all the bitches will say "I told you so" after I become wormfood.

jraf 0 #4 April 14, 2003 Dude, you are so wrong. The frist word after you biff in will not be "I told you so". The question will be to the DZO or whoever is in charge "May I take his rig, now that he has no need for it?"jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

D22369 0 #8 April 14, 2003 Dude, ...... hmmmm, try de-caf next time would you??? some of us actually have lost friends in this sport, and when we read about someone going in, its not them we feel the sorrow for "IMO".......its the friends, families and ours selves that have to live with the loss........... grow up, even you have someone who would miss you immensely RoyThey say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyThomas 0 #9 April 14, 2003 Fuck that. Lost friends in the sport? so what? I have lost a friend to drunk driving. I have lost my grandfather to heart failure. I lost my grandma to cancer. What hurts most? None of the above. Life is a bitch.....then you die. Pain is only temporary. And what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Get a grip, and ride it!

What hurts most? None of the above. Life is a bitch.....then you die. Pain is only temporary. And what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. This being talk back I suppose you have the right to belittle people for feeling pain and apprehension when they have a friend/loved one die or get seriously hurt. I don't want to infringe on any perceived rights you're exercising here, so I won't say you're acting like an ass and intentionally alienating yourself here and I won't say that I wish you'd try out a bit of sensitivity. I understand that you seem to enjoy stirring up as much shit on here as you can. So it goes. The simple fact remains that whether you feel this pain or not, we do. When my friend Troy burned in I cried. When my uncle died last week I hurt. Having said all that I'll just add this. I've got a tiny little hunch you won't give two shits about other people and what they feel, but try to remember this; that aching hollow spot you feel occasionally, well, we all feel that too. We feel it for all kinds of reasons, one of those being when we lose people. Just try to keep that in mind. *sorry, all, I know it's a rant, but I just felt like I had to.* Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyThomas 0 #14 April 14, 2003 Quote Your goal should be to have as many people cry at your funeral as possible. Absolutely something I disagree with. My goal is to have as few people attend my funeral as possible. And, I want everyone that does attend, to get really drunk at my funeral. One last party with me. More people at my funeral = More pain and suffering I caused. So....what if everyone hated me? And then when I did die, everyone said....Glad that happened. Well, even in my last moments, I brought happiness. People were GLAD TO SEE ME GO. Sounds good to me. Sign me up on the "Hated" list. Some live one way, others live another. We all meet in the end.

CrazyThomas 0 #17 April 14, 2003 Quote What if people just didn't care? Perfect. Then I have relayed my goals, reasons, and thoughts. And people have accepted it. Nothing more to ask than people NOT CARING. It was my choice to ACT and DO SOMETHING after all. I chose to make the jump. I chose my gear. I chose my object. It's all good. Seems like a good end. Thanks for the thoughts.....Later, Thomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. I am no greenie, but I would not consider that a personal attack. I would consider it re-statement of a fact stated before. If it is well known knowledge that A is not a "hip dude" , then saying that A is not a "hip dude" is not a personal attack. But, if a person were to say that A were a black, jewish, homo, that might constitue a personal attack. unless I told you I was a black, jewish, homo. Call me what you want, Thomas It might take some BALLS to agree with something like that though. Or some ovaries.
