I don’t want to be a scold, but this man lost his brother in a freak event and a certain portion of the comments here make me sick. My little brother died from cancer ten years ago at age 49 and there was nothing funny about it. I think about him every single day of my life.

Yep.
Many things can be joked about; but posters need to think like a reasonable adult at the appropriate times.

A lot of freepers are just jackasses...it's always been this way.

As a southerner I have listened to the vilest snottiest more arrogant smears one could imagine for a so called conservative forum

really we are all here for a couple of things:

News of Interest

The option to spout off about it to feel like we are doing something whilst we often feel impotent about our country in decline

but probably most decent folks here have their circle of posters they like and follow and probably know personal info about and just share some parts of their lives together through this association...this is likely the main reason that keeps folks here

the smartassed callous stuff is probably male...younger single cubs just showing off

the forum is overwhelmingly made up of middle and older women at home...many divorced or widowed...I don't see them showing out like this

anyhow...they will call it gallows humour while totally ignorant of what that term really is...where I am from we call it “tacky”
