Kirby Puckett was my childhood hero.
He was a good, kind hearted man, and he was one of the best that ever was.
I don't know what I can say. He will be missed...

Then why post here? Certainly you must know, that response like this would cause some kind of response. (most likely negative one.)Set wrote:Even if I was a baseball fan, I couldn't feign caring, because really...death doesn't have an effect on me. *shrugs*
And why not? The majority of people here didn't know him.Darkmoon wrote:Set...I actually did know him, so don't jump to conclusions.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the dead. It's the living I don't care for.Darkmoon wrote:And I'm not crying over his death, or lingering on it...I just wish to salute the memory of a human being that made an impact on my life, and the lives of many others. Everyone deserves to be remembered when they die.
Okay then. I'll remember that, and if you ever decide to be a hypocrite and fail to practice what you preach I won't be afraid to throw your own words back in your face.Hamster wrote:You know Set, if you dont like threads like this then dont post in them. Please dont try to ruin things for people. Im sorry that death means nothing to you but some people do care and if you dont like it, then just go away.![]()

Do you want me to shut up or are you going to continue to drag this out? Make up your mind.Vuldari wrote:In all fairness, answer me this, since I answered YOUR question:
If you didn't care about this man, then why did you post a response in this thread? Why bother? What statement were you trying to make?
If you are going to post a message like this, you may as well include SOME sort of answer with it.Set wrote:Do you want me to shut up or are you going to continue to drag this out? Make up your mind.Vuldari wrote:In all fairness, answer me this, since I answered YOUR question:

Someone just publicly interrupted my memoriam to tell me, with all of 'The Pack' listening, that one of the men I most looked up to and admired is just a worthless name on an endless list of obituaries, and does not deserve my, or anyones caring or sympathy for his family.Hamster wrote:*sigh*
Ok, let me ask you both this question, after your little "spat", is any minds changed on the issue? No. So let it drop.
You are missing the point. People don't think highly of people like Kirby because lot's of people know his name...Set wrote: It's not fair to gague the worth of a life simply by how many people know their name. That, however, is EXACTLY what you're doing.
