They're actually really nice gestures for people to pay their respect... When someone in my school committed suicide, everyone shared memories, wished his family well, paid respect for everyone to read on his page, compiled photo albums for him, etc. It was truly a heartfelt gesture and it was amazing to see how many lives he affected. But if you don't want one, brah, I doubt you'd have to worry about getting one
there's a legit digital graveyard of people who've made facebooks and died. it's creepy, especially when they're last statuses linger on their wall and no one can delete the account because the password is unknown
I friended this guy I met once at a New Year's party, a family friend of my wife's. He ended up hanging himself in a hotel room a couple months later and his friends turned his page into a memorial. We don't really want him on our friends lists anymore but every once in a while we check in and find out something that makes it all seem even more ****ed up, like when we saw his girlfriend posting about how their son is growing up and looks just like him. We didn't even know he had a son when he was alive!
this topic is a cry for help. i will make a facebook page for you when you decide to end it, but it wont be pretty. so hopefully you decide not to, because while i like clowns and boats i dont really know you and i feel that i could not do you justice, except by posting pictures of both of those things.

Man, that's really interesting (no sarcasm). I really like hearing about creepy stuff like this for some reason.

I guess you're right, just always seemed kinda cheesy to me. But then again, I haven't really dealt with death yet. I've had 2 teachers die, a kid I graduated with, and some grandparents I never really knew... I still have no idea how I'm going to handle it if/when it happens to someone close. It's really hard to see me caring though, as ****ed up as that sounds.
