Everyone will though
Fall off a cliff or watch a family member do it? I sure hope not.
Not to try and fight your battles for you SD, but 4Life you did say "experience something tragic", not fall off a cliff. Everyone has to live through someone close to them dieing, it doesn't make what happened to Dylan anyless of a terrible thing. My cousins' 2 year old having a tumor large enough to push his organs around, or a friends 2 year old daughter being diagnosed with luekemia are also tragedies. Some people deal with their feelings one way, others in another way. Some people get offended at every little things, others don't. I'm not defending some of the things said on here, but if they want to say them, then they can. If you want to call them a d*ck, you can. End of story.
I completely agree that everyone has to experience tragedy in their life (illness, death, etc.). Someone earlier alluded to our soldiers overseas... I'm certainly not trying to say that this is any more tragic than any other death (though I can't imagine how his brothers will get past witnessing it). Dylan's death isn't any more important just because he was a football player or because of the horrific nature of it. Any death is horrible for the people who loved that person. That's my whole point. People are suffering right now, and they can deal with it how they choose. Why total strangers want to make fun of him right now is beyond me. I don't get offended at every little thing or else I certainly wouldn't read this message board. I just think this is crossing the line.
BTW, I didn't call anyone a d*ck...that was a different poster. I'm just trying to show some respect for Dylan.
I wasn't saying you did call some one a d*ck, but that you could
