    This in not about who or what funerals are for it is about why people ****ing lie at them when they are totally aware of the truth

    People lie about scumbags at funerals to console the (often innocent) survivors.

    How can this be made any clearer?

    Funerals are not truth commissions for chrissake.

    They exist for survivors.

    If you care not for the survivors, stay away.

    That way, everyone is happy except for old Muggins OP, simmering on his keyboard.

    Saying nothing is not a lie, saying nothing is saying nothing. I don't have anything nice to say about Saddam Hussein or Bin Laden, and the fact that you think that their deaths are comparable to some scummy little gangster in the midlands shows a lack of perspective that partially explains why you think that it's a matter of principle that you express your unsolicited opinion that someone who's died is a c*nt.

    To be honest girl, between your posts on this thread and the last one I'm going to have to take my own advice of "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything" and put you on ignore.

    No sweetheart it is not a "lack of perspective" it is a lack of empathy, I have no reason to feel empathy for people who cry about cu*ts that they know in their hearts, dead or not, were cu*ts. My 12 year old brother died of cancer, he did not deserve to die, in all his life he never hurt anyone. Now I can feel empathy for his parents because they are my parents too and I can feel empathy for all the other parents in his ward who watched their kids die and the kids did nothing but be born but I can't feel empathy for the parents of some scumbag who they ignored the actions of and then expected the whole of society to cry about when he died considering the fact that when he was alive all he did was bring misery to others. Prove me wrong, tell me one (only one) altruistic act he ever did that would make him deserve our respect

    No matter how bad anybody is in life, no matter what crimes/trouble/strife they cause or inflict on innocent people. When they die it is very true what the famous jim morrision once said " death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where once were shoulders". For any of you who are old enough to know who jim morrision was of course.

    No. I'm also glad he's gone. There was a bloke like that in my area, when I was growing up. I heard years ago he had a heart attack. I'm imagining him now, writhing in agony, grasping at his chest in vain, the years of bad living finally catching up with him. Good riddance.

    Wow.

    To console? Why should they be consoled? If the scrote is as described then they knew the abuse said scrote handed out and stood by them. That's a choice. That's acceptance. I wouldn't be bothered saying anything to them but console them? You are having a laugh. I think your description of another poster is deeply offensive. People simmer at keyboards for many reasons: the failure of the state to protect them or their loved ones from thugs while denying them the means to defend themselves, their own suffering at the hands of criminals, or as in my case being old and unable to physically defend myself. You think people like me should be mocked. I'll report your post on the basis of your abuse of the OP. I'd be permanent banned if I wrote what I think of you.

    It's not just about joyriding. You'd be surprised how easy it is for a teenaged innocent to be convinced to clamber into a car of someone with a big mouth. Ignorant ****.

    Totally, I don't lie and saying nothing is also a lie. If someone is a c*nt you should be allowed say it not lie just because of some stupid opinion like "The dead are immune". No one lied about how happy they were when Saddam Hussein and Osamba Bin Ladin died, how is this any different? Tell me something nice about Saddam Hussein or Osamba Bin Ladin then without using the words "They were well hung"

    had big cocķs had they?

    I'm glad to hear all of your relatives are God-fearing and upstanding, loved by all.

    Many of us, if we look sufficiently deeply into our families, will see imperfect individuals, who are despised by others. Others may even go online and call them 'scrotes'.

    Nevertheless, most people will have a high tolerance of wrongdoing before they begin to despise their relatives, than will other members of society.

    And even if survivor-relatives have a deep-seated anger towards their dead relative, they deserve to share in a private funeral ceremony without outsiders and cranks sharing their sentiments without invitation.
    People simmer at keyboards for many reasons
    Too much time on their hands.

    "Survivors"? like really? was there a mass flood or something and only the scummers drowned because they were to stoned to swim? Is everyone at a funeral considered a "Survivor"? it certainly puts a new perspective on death where if you go to as many funerals as possible and stand beside the stiffy you'll always be a "Survivor"

    no matter what any one has done , they have parents , children and siblings . blood runs thicker than water and while we all may not agree with what our family members have done , their passing is still a sad occasion, the families grief is their own and out of respect for that , people often try to ease that grief with kind words . these words do not benefit the dead ,but the people they leave behind ! the people who remember them at their best , who seen a side of them before drink/drugs or criminality takes over.
    what other people say or do , really shouldnt bother anyone else. let them off , its not hurting anyone .

    You know that survivor is a noun that can simply refer to a person who remains alive longer than his relative, right?

    Now a days it is pretty easy to cast a stone, what with laser printing you could cast 50 stones in an hour and still have time to cast about 20 transformer toys too

    I was walking through the town I'm from one night to pop up to one of the nicer pubs. I generally say hello.to everyone I pass. As it was dark I said hello yo this guy walking his dog before I could see who it was. He seemed surprised and said 'hello'.

    It was only after I passed him I realised who it was. It was a local scumbag who I've heard many bad stories about. My brother even told me he is thought to have broken into my family house 10 odd years ago when we were away on St. Patricks day.

    I didn't feel bad to say hello to him, if anything kt was a relief - I had been holding a grudge all these years and, I think, this guy doesnt seem to be the type of guy to do thay anymore.

    maybe he now tells other lads not.to.do.that in his estate. I don't know though.

    Don't call me naive but it isn't healthy to hold on to hate, particularly after someobe has died - actually, it says something about you.

    Maybe you could be more diplomatic when the local scumbag dies before his time.Just say,when the subject comes up in conversation, "yerra-his Brother was worse".

    Too much time on their hands.

    What do my relatives have to with this? Since when does thuggery and the brutalisation of others equal imperfection? Since when do you speak for most people? If relatives of thugs shared in the spoils of thuggery then deserve no consideration at funerals.


    I think your post accurately reveals the thinking that lies behind the laughable "justice" we have in Ireland.

    Not even appropriate in Kerry.

    And I think your post makes me glad that you don't influence the system of justice applied in Ireland.
