alzheimers, in the later stages, is mostly painless for the person who has it. You also know it's coming. Everyone looks at the JFK/RFK shootings as particularly tragic because those two lives were ended abruptly and prematurely. Can that really be said for Reagan?

all kennedy was going to do was to **** MM and then get a cushy govt job or act in a shitty movie

So.

Thank God no one has mentioned Stu Unger.. oops..

Darrent Williams (Denver Broncos/Oklahoma State alum) was tough here in Stillwater

**** stu


he pissed his life away


i dont pity it.....i hope no one does

In my mind, drug overdoses are never tragic... only stupid.




ps... I cried when I heard Chris Farley died... j/s

This would apply to ALL drug related deaths.

Ted already threw her in

since the kennedys have diplomatic immunity in MASS...he still gets elected

wtf


are the pppl there THAT STUPID?!


im seriously confused

which kennedy?

???






American soldirs for most tragic death?

i agree wth the current war effort

my cousin died lat yr

my dad..a gen..PROTECTED..was this close ot dying

the breavest..IMO

their deaths should mean the most right now


TY SFA

Too bad Ted Kennedy wasn't friends with phil collins


Thats some 4th level shit for you

LOL Ken Kennedy Rocks...

Unless there's a draft, i don't consider a soldier's death 'tragic'...they volunteered to serve their country and died in that effort.

Needless, pointless, sad, heart-wrenching, sure, but not tragic.

Jimmy V
Hank Gathers

but not tragic?

I don't think that word means what you think it means

MLK, JFK, and Selena!!

JFK

The most tragic thing about JFK death was that we never got tio see the kids he and marilyn monroe woulda had.

Tragedy:
1. a dramatic composition, often in verse, dealing with a serious or somber theme, typically that of a great person destined through a flaw of character or conflict with some overpowering force, as fate or society, to downfall or destruction.

When used clasically, I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean what you think it means. A great war is a tragedy. The loss of one solider in a war is not.

In literature, it's used to describe falls of people from high positions. By its very definition, a soldier's death can't be a tragedy...those are reserved for kings and queens and heads of state, etc.

Princess Diana

Mohandas Gandhi. (edit: oops, 60 yrs ago, guess it doesnt count)

Bob Marley.

yes

he's not perfect, but he has the right idea occasionally. it'd be nice if things were so cut and dried.

nice to see that you got drunk and took a shit on OT for the 82495th time last night. embarrassing.

random drunk posts > murder ??

Scram.



Too soon?

not soon enough.

I have thought about this and disagree, this may have been one of the best deaths our country has every seen, and for all you racists out there I do not mean in that way. I think that his death progressed forward his movement faster than if he were left alive. Just an opinion obv.

Boy, if black people played poker and therefore read this board, this would generate some discussion I'm sure.

This man will kill you dead...


And that 'iceman' guy from this year's WSOP..thugged out East Coast Poker pro...forget his name.

Yeah, thats why I felt comfortable posting it, plus I was in the mood to stir some post scram shit.

Most people won't understand your 5th level thinking here, but I applaud you

TY TY

you consider them random? it's like clockwork.

In that case:




Rest in Peace o King of Charmin

Malcolm X

Colonel Sanders

Thats just silly talk

If we're lucky... This Thread.

Fuck your face.

That's so brutal. I cannot even begin to fathom the ways in which that changed Mrs. Kennedy-Onassis.

I'm sure I'll get mocked for this, but I think I can make as compelling an argument for him as anyone else can for their choice.

Steve Irwin.

Why?
Besides the human sob story that many other choices have (wife, 2 young kids, etc.), Irwin was as important to his chosen passion as anyone else. He taught literally hundreds of millions of people around the world about all sorts of animals that you didn't even know existed before he came along; the awareness he brought to the mistreatment of animals around the world, the way he helped people conquer (without ever meeting them) unreasonable fears of various animals, the training he provided to countless animal workers... his death left a great void in his field, one that probably won't ever be filled.

CRIKEY!

No. Over the year maybe I could agree but over the last 50 years...NO.

Bob Marley > Steve Irwin

She had so much to give:
