Oh, you liberals with no sense of humor drive me crazy. Does that sound familiar?

Oh, I have a sense of humor but not for being called a name that I find very offensive. and I do know what it means. Besides I am a "Southern Liberal", you know, the ones that wanted a recount in the first election. :)

You posted the first comment to this story. You posted the ridiculous comment in regards to a very serious article about someone's death. Based upon your most recent comment, the picture has come into focus. Now, look in the mirror. You don't appreciate stupid comments, either, apparently?

And, again, if a knee jerk reaction saves only one life - it is not worthless. What is your point?

[bklyntony1]

I was only kidding, again. You didn't like the joke. Oh, you liberals with no sense of humor drive me crazy. Does that sound familiar?

[shoujoboy-2009]

And there you go again only making a comment to make yourself seem superior to the rest of us. Congrats, you are the ruler of the CBS News forums. Does it make you feel important?

I did not ridicule you by calling you names. As for death, I am more than aquainted with it as I have died and been brought back twice myself. I lost my two brothers on their 60th birthdays one year apart. Do not attack me or anyone else for spelling on this site. I see the incorrect use of english and spelling and am not really concerned about it. As a 'ham' radio operator I am use to shortcuts and the fast way to ge6 an idea across. This is not an English class and I am not the teacher, nor do I want to be.

[shoujoboy-2009]

There is no need for any kind of apology and I will not make one. I have already stated that yes it is a tragedy that this man died in a freak accident. However anytime something like this happens there is always some kind of knee jerk reaction that has some long lasting effect. It is a freak accident not something that should (and will be I imagine)viewed through a microscope. You need to pay attention and making yourselves seem all high and mighty and making me out to sound like a villain. Come back and talk to me in two weeks when CBS News runs an article about new baseball regulations.

WoW...That's some sad news...Maybe fences should be used where they don't want baseballs to land?

[bklyntony1]

Mr. Sanchez has a legal right to sue you, at this point, (not)goodsam. Yet another stupid comment.

[bklyntony1]

JDUBS - that's the point. It's not a joke, nor a political ruse of some sort. Sboy and G.O.D. can't realize they should just apologize for being insensitive jerks.

[bklyntony1]

And...

Stupid comments evoke more stupid comments. This article is not in the "politics" section. It's a human interest story in which someone tragically died. There is no political aspect to the story. Yet, since we have roughly 40% of Americans who cannot make up their own minds and prefer to argue with each other online rather than really contributing and making a difference in their America, this is apparently their outlet. Then, there are a handful here who don't recognize there is a family experiencing a terrible loss. So, you turn this into political commentary somehow. Sboy could have said a million less insensitive things. You are making political, social and personal comments which have nothing to do with the article, either. Go to the top of the page, click the politics section of the website and have at it.

[bklyntony1]

gslinger - you're in real late...you're not watching the game. See, cockgobbler already pointed out G.O.D. was merely responding to Sboy. Meanwhile, Sboy is claiming innocence because he was responding to a converse opinion, but he offered the first opinion which cannot be converse to anything. So, then you come along and are apparently a character who knows everything. I don't recognize any comment here where someone said they are a liberal, and thus... Can you point out where this occurred? Then , I tried some of that good old honest, innocent sarcasm - see, Wal-Mart is a liberal target and is located in Arkansas while, though he is really a New Englander, Bush resides in Texas and was governor there - and, you didn't appreciate my joke. This gets to the crux of this whole thread, ironically.

Come on people.....THIS IS NOT A JOKE

[gslinger3]

GunOwner,

I got to hand it to you Man. What an Awsome job of stirring up the left wing radical, Bush Hating, Terrorist Loving, unborn Child hating, abortion loving, political corectness loving, gun hating global warmed liberal kooks!!!!!

Great job!!!

[bklyntony1]

gslinger - it didn't happen in Texas, so it can't be Bush's fault. It happened in Arkansas, so it would be Wal-Mart's fault.

Cockgobbler - you can continue to sit in the corner and be ignored like a good boy.

[gslinger3]

Its Bush's Fault!

[shoujoboy-2009]

Humans exist only to be made into batteries for the machines anyway so that sounds like a dandy plan.

[bklyntony1]

Shoujoboy - just like the Tulsa Drillers, you're minor league. Please explain "converse opinion to the story" and "rampant flaming".

Rampant and flaming are both adjectives which should be separated by a comma and you should finish your sentence with a noun in this case.

The story is a news article, facts listed one after another which tell a story of something that has happened. There is no opinion in the story and you made the first comment, the first opinion. So, your converse opinion was converse to what?

You stated, "The matter itself isn't a joke, it's the reaction to it." Noone else had reacted to it, so you make this ridiculous statement so you can get a lot of attention. The "inevitable reaction afterwards that is hilarious" (sic)(you need some remedial spelling education) would surely have been kind words to the family and sincerity, if not for your idiocy. Again, what's your point? Find something better to do. What if this was your family member, you ingrate?

Your overreaction to the comment has caused more comment than anything else. How 'bout we do this. Since living is the single biggest cause of death lets ban pregnacy. The ones that are still living will have to be herded together by robots and fed by machine until they expire due to natural causes.Then having eliminated the major cause of death the world will continue as it did before man came along and invented (gasp) baseball.

[shoujoboy-2009]

GunOwnerDan and Shoujoboy,
I love you guys...you never fail to start up a controversy no matter what the story is about :)
Posted by Roesch21 at 12:51 PM : Jul 23, 2007

I just like to give the converse opinion to the story. The simple answer is never the fun one and only makes me sound like a myna bird. I'd much rather stir up conversation... too bad it usually ends up resulting in rampant flaming.

[susieq_13]

How awful. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
