As a Cardinal fan this has been an awful week.

Would it make it any better for you if I said, "I feel your pain"?

Of course it's sad, of course people are going to greive. Do I agree with cancelling the game, no. No, I don't. It is a matter of opinion, and that is mine. I am apparently in the minority, which is usually the case. Doesn't bother me in the least. What does bother me is that people who post their minority views are censored. Heaven, no, we wouldn't want to hurt anyone's precious feelings, would we?

If I want to be stoic, that's my damn business. If you want to compare me with your grandfather who had mental problems, that's yours, doesn't make you right, but you go ahead if it "makes you feel better".

Get lost, bottom-feeder. If you can't distinguish between a game and the sacredness of human life you don't have the sense to understand sportsmanship, or life. A game, however much it is esteemed, is never more important than life, or respect for those who have lived it and moved on. Come back when you grow up.

[demsux]

I had never even heard of him before today. Perhaps I should take the remainder of the week off to mourn for him.

A respected (and RESPECTABLE) father, husband, son, ballplayer dies suddenly and you are concerned about a BASEBALL GAME.

I suppose you feel the surviving 9-11 office workers should have returned to the job right away, too?

Swerve, I know you read this article this morning - was it inspirational for you?

LOXLEY, Ala. -- Authorities in Loxley, Ala., are investigating the alleged beating of a preacher by funeral mourners who didn't like his blunt eulogy. Glynis Bethel told The Associated Press that her husband -- the Rev. Orlando Bethel -- was attacked during a June 14 funeral and dragged out of the church.
That's because Bethel told mourners the deceased was in Hell and that they were headed the same way. The dead man was Glynis Bethel's uncle.
Orlando Bethel referred to him as a "drunkard and a fornicator."
Glynis Bethel, who's also a preacher, says "the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him." She says police didn't make any arrests, so she and her husband -- who may have a broken nose -- are taking out warrants.

" What does bother me is that people who post their minority views are censored."

No,the views of yourself and the other self-absorbed clinton-era addled their brains boobs on this thread HAVE NOT been censored.

What your minority views have been is ridiculed,lambasted,shot down and pointed out as totally heartless and cruel.

But-NOT CENSORED!

[null and void]

Ummm, see post #25...

[John W]

I would imagine post 25 broke a forum rule.Can you advise?

[LisaAnne]

Yes, censored. Perhaps you should check the first page of this thread.

And I don't see where I have been shot down. And trying to insult posters is a no-no... you might hurt someones feelings. Do be careful in the future.

[John W]

What forum rule did you break to get "censored"?

[ValerieUSA]

When a student dies they don't close the school - they send in grief counselors. That's what they needed at Wrigley stadium: grief counselors..... and $1.00 off the price of beer. Maybe even here on the thread grief counselors are needed, and/or beer.

[LisaAnne]

You assume I am talking about myself. I am not. There were no forum rules broken.

[John W]

Based on what I've seen on a couple threads here today,beer is the last thing needed.

[LisaAnne]

That's an excellent idea. And for those who just could not go on, there is always Kool-Aid.

[ValerieUSA]

When Dale Earnhardt died in a wreck on the track, was the race stopped and the fans sent home?

[John W]

Did you see the removed post?Can you characterize it in some way that will not be removed?

[Wrigley]

Um, Wrigley Field.

[LisaAnne]

Since you are so interested, I suggest you freepmail that powers that be and ask them.

[Neets]

I guess we only make comments depending on which way the balloon floats through the air eh?

[Quicksilver]

I had never even heard of him before today. Perhaps I should take the remainder of the week off to mourn for him.

Perhaps you should take a week off and reflect upon the value of human life.

[ValerieUSA]

Sorry, Field. I won't argue seeing as how you're a relative and all. :)
