    Who gives a shit? This guy might be making it all up anyway. I say sorry to him but I won't shed a tear for every person that dies. Yes, it's unfortunate. I'll give him that. But something like 3 people die per second. You can't can't can't let every single death affect you.

    If I felt sorry for every single person that died in the world, I'd have no time to live me own life. So let's say to this guy: "I'm sorry about your friend but he doesn't concern me". Because if you pay a tribute (even a small tribute) to one dead man, you have to shed a tear for every other person that dies too. It's only fair. Just because you don't hear a news story about a guy who died in whateverland, doesn't mean he didn't die. Unless you believe in "see no evil, hear no evil." In that case, the only deaths that matter are the ones you hear about.

    It's one thing not to shed a tear, but to carry on making twisted comments like you did, before and after it was posted that he was dead is plain wrong.

    Of course, my condolences to all who knew him. (Is it that hard to just say THAT, Alex?)

    Alex - You would be better of just keeping your mouth shut. You're a fucking ASS.

    Since this morning at 12 AM, try and guess how many people died in the world. assuming a MINIMUM of 1 person dying per second (I believe the average is 3), that's 21 hours times 60 mins times 60 seconds: that equals 75,600 people, or 70,000 minumum. Since you are so sensitive to people's feelings (not an insult) you'll have to feel bad for each and every one of those 70,000 people. And then tomorrow, you can wiat as another 80,000 people die on six different continents, of all ages.

    If 80,000 people die every day, then what's one more person. Yes, to him personally it's unfortunate. But there's way bigger things going on than one guy dying. Some people die and get lots of attention, particularly people like Jean Bennet Ramsey (or however you spell her name), and then the other 90% get nothing at all.

    I was dumb for posting this on here. I just knew there were a lot of 20-something's from Massachusetts that visit this board...figured it was worth a shot in case he was just missing and needed to be found. Turns out the worst-case scenario played itself out. Mods, feel free to move this somewhere else or delete it....it has nothing to do with Pearl Jam. However, thanks for those with something positive to say. A god-damn tragedy.

    Wow. You're a fucking prick. Just don't post anything instead of posting something totally insensitive. If your friend/brother/mom died, and someone said, "Well, that's just 1 of hundreds of people that died recently," you'd be pissed. You don't even know this person or anything about it, so why the hell would you even make a comment? Is it really that difficult for you to a) ignore the post or b) simply say, "Wow, that's terrible. I hope they find him" or "I'm so sorry for your loss"? Really? That tough?

    God I hate some of the people on this board sometimes.

    Edit: I AM very sorry for your loss. A young man with obvious potential dying at such a young age is a tragedy no matter what.

    Hell no I wouldn't be pissed. Because it's true. IF you said that, it would be 100% true and I would have to deal. That's what I believe.

    Hmm... so you knew him personally? As did everyone else in this thread. Oh, I got it.

    The ONLY insensitive remark I made was the very first, which is Mr. Bucket. And that was before we all knew he was dead. Secondly, he's just gone on a trip is a euphamism. So eat me. If you flame me I'll flame you back.

    It's arrogant assholes like you that will never get it. You'll live your life treating people like shit and wonder why, in 20 years, you're completely alone.

    I suggest you quit while you're behind...

    This comment is why I said if you flame me I'll flame you back." Because that's what you're doing.

    Fuck.

    I didn't say that, thanks for twisting my words. But if I swear and flame at you, don't give me a bastardized, twisted interpretation of what I said.

    I'd just like to take the time to point out that we do have the handy-dandy "Ignore" function. It has proven useful at times. Perhaps, for some of you, this would be a ripe opportunity to avail yourselves of it.

    I don't even know you... so I'll say it straight without any swears. This is how the thread has progressed... digressed...

    1) OP says friend is missing

    2) I post le bucket as a joke, not knowing his friend is hurt.

    3) His friend is hurt, some people offer their condolences.

    4) I give a euphamism that says his friend has gone away and people just do that... huh, strange how my metaphor has a lot to do with dying.

    5) Two people get mad because I don't sound sad enough for this guy who died.

    6) I mention that there are sadder things happening than this one dead kid.

    7) Three posters got mad because they think I don't care about this guy, despite the fact that I said "To him personally it is unfortunate" (It is unfortunate to the OP). Clearly I care about this guy but he's not the only person on the planet who died.

    8) Flame war.

    How horrible! I'm so sorry OmahaJammer. For your loss especially, but also for the shit you've had to read as a result of trying to get some help.

    I wish you, his band, and his family some comfort while dealing with this.

    This is it: :^(

    EDIT: It should also have a high horse in there somewhere but I can't quite fit it in. ;)
