    An epiphany

    Disclaimer: I do not intend for any of this information to seem to finger point, name all the wrongs we do, claim jihad or find blame with anyone. Its just a veiwpoint that suddenly occured to me while I was staring blankly at a something.

    All in all, there has been a bit of blind eye turning to the accidents, injuries, loss of life and general shitty consequences of someones misfortune. Im not saying I don't do it either as I have dealt with a shit load of death and pain including the suicide of a damn good friend a couple of weeks ago. But thats not to say we all go through the pain of a loss of a loved one, some people handle this shit better than others and I would like to say that I do it well, but not as well as I would like.

    Its easy to point a finger at someone and say, "hahaha, what a dumbarse" or "You deserved that because of........." but what quite a few of us fail to realise in this day and age is the impact on those close to the victim. Friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends, wifes, husbands, ect ect. I don't want any sympathy from anyone if I injure or kill myself, but I would like to know that there would be others that knew me that would like to comfort those close and dear to me.

    I only say this because the last thing that someones family wants to see is a thread or article on what their dead/ maimed loved one could have done better or even yet, the victim themselves if they are just mearly injured.

    Like I said before, this isn't a dig at anybody, but it might just be bad karma (I don't believe in it, but its a good figure of speech) to call injured people dumbarses. Now this may or may not be linked to the lass who injured herself in the states, but Im just throwing a veiwpoint out there. Might be Im a bit sensitive cause Im sick and doped up medicine, but yea......... some of you might know what I mean, others may not.

    Trollers, I won't respond to bait unless I feel like it.

    Sweet Jesus, that medicine I was on last night was strong. I seriously can't even remember writing some of this.

    Yeah, but let us not be to bloody scared to be honest either.

    I mean if I bin due to fuckwittedness surely at least others may as well benefit from my mistakes and if I recieve a shit load of abuse, maybe others will see that "it" is frowned upon and refrain from engaging such behaviour.

    I suppose people can only offend you if you have something to be offended about.

    Old proverb says Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

    I find that funny.... Seriously though, if you take your own cock ups lightly, how can others offend you by chewing the fat on it? If it drags on and on and on, different story.
    So KBrs, I present my cockups for your amusement... we shall need another 6 or 7 terabytes web space methinks...
