Gratuitous 'shame on all you grave-pissers' thread (Original Post) Cirque du So-What Feb 2021 OP

Gee, that’s too bad. I was hoping people would come say nice things.

Jeffrey Dahmer and Nelson Mendela aren't the same on the "better" scale.

Variability is quite certainly applicable to humans.

You really should step back for a moment and go home to contemplate your place in the universe.

Did they all leave? Woohoo I’m first in line.

He was a malign influence on American Politics for 30 years, and it's reasonable to be glad he's no longer able to serve that role. I feel about as glad as I did when Scalia died, and about as glad as I will when Murdoch dies.

I am not going to hope he's burning in hell, because no one should go to hell. Good thing it doesn't exist.

can be countered by the fact that he burned through four marriages.

I'm guessing his private life was just as tumultuous and rage-driven...

I know that a good establishment liberal would refrain from even discussing the fact that Rush Limbaugh likes to go to one of the underage sex capitals of the world with a bottle of Viagra in one hand and God knows what in the other...

Rush should be urged to share his story with America. Here's [sic] he is, an impotent, thrice divorced, ex-drug addict, conservative, parolee who went on a sex tour in the Caribbean and found himself rudely embarrassed for carrying recreational prescription drugs in his doctor's name. Who can't relate to that?

I wonder why it bothers you so much that you had to start a threat about it.
