You don't have any chillin's so you can't begin to know anything about this.

Except for the dozen times he's mentioned his offspring, this is spot on.

There's nothing worse than parents getting all sentimental about tragedies that happen to other people's children. It's so farging indulgent and only serves for people to say 'oh look at me I love my child and am compelled to wax philosophic about how much I love my children and this tragedy/feel good news story/rain cloud finally gives me the opportunity to let it all out'. EVERYONE is someone's child. Every sad thing that has ever happened to anyone happened to someone's child. Garrett Reid was 29 farging years old. It's not like a three year old got eaten by a bear here. Spend more time parenting and less time thinking about how amazing your offspring are and telling me about it.

A dingo ate my baby

i actually think its much worse for a 29 year old to die than a three year old....three year olds dont know shtein...they arent looking forward to anything or looking back at what they have been thru...this is probably why i could care less about abortion...even late term...farg a not knowing anything at all fetus...

in general i couldnt agree more tho...if i have to hear one more time how a parent should never bury a child "its not supposed to happen like that" im gonna flip out

i do think kids would be much more likeable if they were called chillins instead of children

There are plenty of parents who do drugs.

[General_Failure]

Parents who do drugs, have children who do drugs.

[Seabiscuit36]

What about hugs instead of drugs?

[General_Failure]

Those kids use drugs, too.

[Don Ho]

Let's all do drugs!

Agreed this is tragic but the "man" was 29 years old and unfortunate as it was he chose this path of destruction.  Yes it sucks, I feel bad for anyone who loses a loved one be it a sibling, parent, uncle, aunt, grandparent.  I was not shocked at all by this event.

Did I hear correctly that they had the service today?

Andy Reid does drugs? That explains a lot of late game management.

I'm not trying to say that at all, I'm just saying it's a lot harder for them and a lot more things out there that can kill kids nowadays then it ever was 15 years or so ago. Also, most of the time it's the son or daughter that buries the parent, not the other way around.

[shorebird]

Not to mention, I can't wait for the first nutjob that heckles Reid about his son kicking the bucket. He'll probably get pelted with percs at some point.

thats brilliant analysis there.....older people normally die before younger people....no shtein

90 years ago life expectancy was in the 50s and people died young all the time. Weird illnesses. Malnourishment. Massive wars. Workplace accidents. Etc etc.

People have been burying their children for as long as people have been having children and if anything we bury them less now than we ever have at any point in human history. Maybe that highlights how sad it is when it does happen these days, but the spike in meth usage doesn't even come close to representing the kind of threat to our younger generation as, say, the Viet Nam war or small pox or dingos or any of the 1000s of things that humans had to worry about in years gone by.

Everyone thinks that life was easier or safer when we were coming up. Almost without fail the opposite is true, but because we're flooded with a never-ending stream of bad news on a 24 hour cycle and have access to the worst of human behavior at the press of a button we think the world is a dangerous place. It just isn't true. We're safer than any animal in the natural world has any business being.
