Poor Gary Coleman

[aTailOf2Kitties]

good grief people, it's the internet for God's sake. It's full of insulting things. If you don't like something stop looking at it. Quit trying to preach to those of us who aren't insulted just because you are. You're not going to convert anyone.

That is the best of them all. Great post and to the point.

I owe you an email. Maybe tomorrow???????????? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ

pomtzu, You are who you are & I am who I am. This is the dog house. Gary Coleman is dead but now I will have to look at any Coleman products I see & think of him. To bad he wasn't related to the family that has the Coleman patient maybe his life would of been different?

The doghouse is for controversial subjects.

Making jokes about someones death is certainly that, and is sure to draw the ire of those who disagree. Can't stand the flack? Stay out of the doghouse, it's really that simple.

I don't believe that I said anywhere, that I was trying to convert anyone, nor was I preaching - simply stating my opinion.

And I only voiced my opinion of what I thought about finding humor in death. I was brought up by parents who instilled a sense of decency in me.

I am so glad I was able to bring like minds together.
I am truly honored to be of a different mind.
I will continue to stand outside of the clicky circle and laugh while you all enjoy ganging up on me.
Coleman is dead what we say here can't hurt him, he doesn't know and frankly why would he care if he was able? Our opinion doesn't matter to him at all, neither do we.
As for respect for the dead they are dead, as we will all be. They don't give a damn what we say about them.
We project our beliefs onto the dead, we say they are in heaven or hell or waiting for the second coming or the world to end on this day or that.
We say it's important to respect the dead, well only if we respected them in life, does being dead make you perfect all of a sudden? You can't defend yourself but you don't care to either.
I thought it was very funny as did many others, just sorry for the click who missed a good funny. You guys need to lighten up........ Leno, Lettermen, SLN, The Soup, Comedy Central, Joan Rivers, Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, Jack Benny so many others would think this is funny. And that is the truth.
And just because I like looking my best doesn't mean I have to be boring or uptight. Why should I wear jeans if I can wear silk and satin when I go out?

[Marigold2]

Hey that is pretty funny.

aw, c'mon he'll stay fresher for longer in there

If a person is raised a certain way by their parents to have respect that is fine. If a person is raised a certain way by their parents to look at things humorously fine. To put people down for either is not a fair deal. To gang up on a person like a pack of wolves because they have a different perspective on life is very narrow minded.

well when i saw it was a post by Marigold, i knew for certain it would be controversial and ganging up on her would occurr.

Each to their own i say, if you are offended, you have a right to say so, if you find it funny you have the right to say so, i am impartial on this one,have no strong feelings either way.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

Hey that is pretty funny.

if it wasn't for my sense of humor, I'd have no sense at all

Cremation sounds good maybe they have Coleman Cremators too? I know they have Coleman camp stoves & Coleman lanterns.

A few corrections. Just because a group does not agree with you on a particular joke does not make them a clique. And that, by the way is how it is spelled.

click: 1. A brief, sharp sound: the click of a door latch.
2. A mechanical device, such as a pawl, that snaps into position.
3. Computer Science An instance of pressing down and releasing a button on a pointing device, such as a mouse.
4. Linguistics Any of various implosive stops, such as that of English tsk, produced by raising the back of the tongue to make contact with the palate and simultaneously closing the lips or touching the teeth or alveolar ridge with the tip and sides of the tongue, and found as phonemic consonants especially in the Khoisan and some Bantu languages. Also called suction stop.

clique: A small exclusive group of friends or associates.


Anyway, just because someone doesn't find a particular joke funny does not mean that individual has no sense of humor. A sense of humor is no more universal than a sense of style, or of what is attractive.

Did I find that image funny? Not terribly, nor was I offended by it.

At my mother's funeral, there was plenty of laughter, and even the pastor was making people laugh. Ma would not have had it any other way, and it felt right, and healthy. Even one man I knew, who grew up in a different part of the country than I did, with a different religious culture and background, said to me afterwards, "I was taken aback at first, but when I saw your father laughing, and knew they had been married for 40+ years and raised 4 kids together, I figured the laughter must be okay."

Funerals are as individual as people. So are opinions.

No one need gang up on anyone else, this is Pet Talk, we can treat each other with respect, even if we disagree.

I don't see any cliques here (by Karen's definition as posted), nor do I see anyone ganging up on anyone else either. All I see is different people with different ideals and values, stating their personal opinion. Nor did I see anyone trying to impose their values and beliefs on anyone else either. We are all different, and this being a fact, there will always be opposing views. Anyone that knows me, would tell anybody here that I have a great sense of humor (rather dry at times), but that of course doesn't mean that I find everything to be funny. Jokes about death just turn me off, but with people being what they are, many will find them quite funny. To each his own.............

I agree 100% Carole.

Thanks Karen for correcting my spelling mistake, I knew it was incorrect but my thoughts are faster then my fingers and I was too lazy to correct.
Yes sometimes people do gang up on me but that's ok, shows they are intersted in what I have to say.
