What Is Wrong With Rip ?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I personally prefer R.I.H.

Rot In Hell

How incredibly pathetic

.

What's wrong with stating facts ?

When you realize that most of the people here are irredeemable sinners who are going to burn in hell for the eternity, R.I.P. is a bit hypocritical don't you think ?

Not if you had met my ex. biggrin.png

Granted. I do my best to forget about mine, may the dear lady RIH. The devil heard she might be down soon....rumour has it that he's packing his bags.

But hey! I'm not bitter...

Why show compassion with a person, you have never met? To me the RIP-posters here are just doing it for their own "feeling decent and good". I couldn't care less if someone, i didn't know had died or not. When I die, I don't expect any RIP's, and it really doesn't matter. There are hundreds of people dying in Thailand every day, but normally the ones reported here are about people from our own race/tribe.

My a suggest a special RIP-subforum here on Thaivisa, so all you PC guys can RIP all day long, and I promise you, that insensitive posters like myself will stay away!

How many people in the world?

7 Billion...give or take a few?!

How many people died in the 9/11 attacks?

4.000?

So it is very safe to say that almost NO ONE knew any of these guys, so stop memorial services, right?!

WW2?

I don't know anyone who died there...not even my grandparents... and I am German!

So...puleaze stop rememberance day parades, right?!

Such a waste of time, such hollow phrases!

Do you want me to go further?

Do you know any jewish people???

By the way: I apologize, IF you knew any of these people.

I didn't mean to hurt you personally!

Why?

It is called EMPATHY!

I suggest, you google that, because I doubt that you know that word!

To me, writing RIP is really just

Post count +1

No sentiment expressed or effort expended. Quite similar to if you just post "lol", or "Happy Birthday"

Posts like this have no sincerity and are just automated replies, with neither the brain or heart even activating, let alone contributing to the thread

Personally, I think that it's almost verging on insulting that someone offers such little effort when someone has just died. Better to post a full sentence or nothing at all imo.

What a load of tosh. rolleyes.gif God help us. bah.gif

Do you know what many floral tributes at a funeral have written on them.

R.I.P......... which you probably don't know means ''Rest In Piece''. sad.png

so it is appropriate only after death by dismemberment?

it has been very correctly pointed out that few here feel the need to offer up the sentiment should the occasion be the reported death of a thai.

don't believe me check out the Grisly Murders in Bangkok.

or perhaps that was just not a courtesy being offered up to mourn what posters suspected to be dad bears.

"Twonk"

Used as an insult it surely does break rule 4 rolleyes.gif

But Del Boy used it every week on the BBC. The word belongs to him. laugh.png

So you admit to owning a Reliant Robin then? laugh.png

To the OP - I agree,

I am unable to tell from reading a computer monitor whether the person making the post knows or does not know the unfortunate deceased. - unless they specifically state otherwise.

Equally, I cannot tell if the sentiment is a genuine, well intended - "I feel sympathy with your loss' or something else.

However, I believe that most people are well meaning (with the few exceptions that you have identified) and so I am pleased that humanity does feel some sorrow when someone passes away - usually in difficult circumstances here on TV. I sometimes post RIP notes and think - 'there but for the grace of god go I'. I post these thoughts with NO ultertior motive.

If some people do not like this - do not read it! No one is forcing you to read every message on TV! Move on and get a life.

Obviously a few rolls on this one (sadly)

Quite frankly, it was embarrassing, what a reflection upon our wonderful website that these idiots managed to derail such a serious topic with such crass and insensitive stupidity. To me TV should now consider automatically removing these stupid Anti-RIP posts, as they can't even be construed as fair comment, they are worthless and embarrassing comments.

The excellent work done by the membership, by the news team, and by the admin and moderators of the site is undone in part by these Category One clowns.

Sorry, but I disagree, in that I believe there is too much censorship on Thai Visa. I can understand the issue with talking about the King of Thailand, and understand that some posters on TV are extremely crass, crude and unthoughtful in some of their postings, but censorship should be minimal; saying that there should be more is IMHO totally wrong.

I would say there should be less - but that also demands that all TV members use more discretion in what they post.
