Funerals!!!

Maybe I'm just an insensitive prick, but why the hell does "Respect for the dead" mean a huge procession of black Cadillacs and so forth driving silently down the road escorted by police? Fuckin' dead people probably wouldn't want you wasting your tears. Though I do respect many culture's views on death and mourning (Shivah in the Jewish tradition, for example, is a week of mourning without doing anything but that), I personally would want people to not be howling and crying and turning my death into a burden on everyone, whether that means trying to make everyone not be depressed about my death, or whether it means not incumbering the lives of daily commuters with a quarter-mile long unbreachable crazy train.

 

 

fucking dot :cool:

The way I see it is this; I wouldn't want to inconvenience anybody when I'm dead. I probably didn't know you, so why would I expect you to go out of your way to show some respect for me? I wouldn't. Second reason being; I'm dead. At this point in my existence, I really don't have much thought on the matter. I don't care if you respect me. I'm dead. The thinking has ceased.

 

Basically what I'm saying is. I don't know you, nor do I give a shit about you. And yes, I'm an :asshole: .

 

QFT!

Shit, you should have seen the funeral procession going south down 315 from Lane Ave yesterday. I've never seen such a cluster fuck of idiots in my life. Motorcycle cops weaving between cars from behind at 90+mph, then the whole stupid thing has to change lanes back and forth twice because, apparently, nobody actually knew where the hell the damn cemetary is! First they all line up for 670 East, then everybody slams over at the last minute to line up on 670 WEST, losing two cars in the process. Those two cars go zipping up the shoulder past the rest of the procession, and jam in behind the hearse. Then the motorcycle cops realize that they actually aren't going to 670, so they sling the whole clump over into the middle lane AGAIN. Then one cop apparently tries to lead everybody off onto Broad St, and damn near dumps his bike when he realizes he's alone. They went off onto 70/71 heading for the downtown split. I decided that even though I needed to go the same way, it'd be quicker and safer to drop down to 104.
