Damn_Underscore 12/01/18 3:14:45 PM #49:	shockthemonkey posted... Damn_Underscore posted... AdviceMan posted... I don't think someone's death is the best time to talk about the things they did wrong. This isn't to say it's never appropriate to talk about the mistakes of former presidents, I just don't think anyone other than people who already agree with you want to hear it. So don't be surprised with people being annoyed with you. There were a lot of bad things about my dad, I still remember them. But I didn't use his funeral as the day to start airing my grievances with him. Exactly. The only time someone's life gets talked about on a forum after they die is when the person is famous. It seems normal to hear hate for famous people after they die, but imagine going to the funeral of a family member and talking about how terrible they were. No one is trying to ban the discussion of things that HW did wrong, but how many of them are directly relevant today? The fact that you only started hearing about them after he died answers that question. Civility is NOT a bad thing. The fact that you only heard about them after he died means you werent paying attention. Dont blame anyone else for your ignorance. Please. No one was talking about stories like the one this topic is about before HW died. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:913366039] in George HW ...
