Makes no difference to me one way or other... but I voted no. Respect for the dead and all that. I guess it is different is the deceased was prominent. 

I just know I ain't gonna come on this place and tell people relative x died as soon as it happens. I might discuss it later in general conversation if the topic warrants... such has "When dad died we had this problem with VA" or something like that.

I guess it might be different if the deceased was someone here.

I said no because there's no guarantee that the thread about the loss of the relative of a primitive won't have a shot at conservatives or Republicans.  That should be highlighted.

That's almost a given.

Same here.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I am not a fan of banning things.  However, I would never start a thread with that subject matter, and I think the only comment I would leave would be "RIP, my condolences," or nothing at all.

I don't
Think anyone is talking about banning anything, just whether they think we should post about it or not.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Case by case.

Overall I'd say no. But if some primitive started a thread like "My relative just died because Republicans/conservatives hate America," or something idiotic along that line, then I'd have to at least consider it. Really would depend on just how over-the-top the post was.

Anything that causes a DUmp democrat to feel pain, whether it's physical, financial, or emotional, is a cause for celebration.

Most blood relatives of DUmp democrats were despicable in their own right, but whether they were or not, if they're dead they're gone, and if their passing grieves a DUmp democrat, then that's great. Unfortunately, the grief is usually as phony as it is funny, since DUmmies lie, all the time.

Kregel's description of his father's death is most likely a drug-induced fantasy. If it really happened, one can only imagine how disappointed and humiliated the old man must have been to have raised such a useless piece of human debris.

I voted No. Taverner's loss should not be minimalized, and as free speech allows, he should be able to continue to spew nonsense like  "Forrest Gump" - I just realized there was a huge swipe of white denial in that movie http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3885026  I thought this was one of the stupidest posts of the day. But I do feel for his loss.

I vote 'no'.  There's no reason for the banning of such a subject.  One CCers view does not represent CC as a whole. 

No one at CC would even be aware of bereavement at DU unless they post about it there themselves.  Posters here can comment as they feel moved to and moderators can handle anything that is alerted upon.   

I admit to cringing a bit when I see something I feel is over the top.  I'm not a dyed in the wool sob sister, but have my moments.  I have only felt compelled to bring something to a moderators attention once.   It had nothing to do with the DUmpster, DUmmies or death and the issue was settled with no fur flying.

I hope his bereavement reaches the point of suicide.

That make me wonder- is there any good reason for a primitive to sign up to be an organ donor?  What parts that can transplant haven't they abused?

By the way, DUchenozzle Kregel now claims the old man is still living, but he's getting ready to pull the plug and kill him.

Sounds like Bennyboy.

I have been left to be the decision maker as to whether he lives or dies.

My mom, whom he married but later separated in the 90s, does not want a part in this decision making. I understand. You had to know this history.
 
I visited my dad this afternoon.

I use the scientific method. This means I must do several samples.

And as per his directive, he never chose live or die.

My guess is he'll let the old man live until there's no chance of smuggling more narcotics out of the hospital.

Yeah, it's confusing.

At first, the Taverner primitive made it sound as if his paternal ancestor had died.

Apparently he was only cerebrally dead, not real dead.

No doubt Mark has sampled every drug they've brought into his father's hospital room.
