You don't see an issue with posting something 100% irrelevant to the topic at hand that you know would piss other people off?


The situation sucks for the kid for sure and I've every intention of sending him a card (as everyone should imo since it has potential major impact and requires so minimal effort), but as far as this thread goes, the fact is that a lot of the people complaining about his response are the same people who said "But wait, there's more!" when Billy Mays died, etc etc. There's no difference here aside from age. It's just people falsifying sensitivity for whatever reason.

Well hopefully the people "falsifying sensitivity" will go far enough in their endeavor to walk down the street to the local post office.

Life sucks and is unfair i think Rotodyne is right even if his "joke" was the perfect example of inappropriate dark humor.

Poor kid indeed. News like that always make me tilt.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Seriously dude? Troll much


Honestly, the story is very sad -- but I have a hard time actually feeling terrible inside, let alone getting pissed off at a minor, inappropriate post about it.

you guys should chill out. if you care, write a card -- if you don't, just don't post in the thread.

And when you're done with your precious christmas card, maybe you could send some food to starving kids in the third world countries?
I'm not trying to be an ass, I just hate small stories highlighted like this. Yeah, few kids have the energy to say that they want christmas cards before they die, but other kids with cancer die every day. It sure is sad for little Noah and his family and send that card if you want to, but please send a card to every other child with cancer in the world. Just cos this kid reached the newspapers it doesn't mean he is worth more.

Now, if you find this offensive, please explain why and don't just call me an ass.

IMO you guys are overreacting to what Rotodyne said. You don't share his sense of humour, fine, but this thread is gonna derail so fast if everyone is gonna comment on it. Ignore it and move along if you don't like black comedy.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

You should post that in other threads on other forums isolating sending a card to this kid, or maybe become a missionary. There's a difference between a random act of kindness and being Mother Teresa.

More power to you if you can help others with food, money, clothing, etc. This thread is about helping one child with one wish. It doesn't take much to send a Christmas card man. A Christmas card...come on.


Like someone said earlier, If you feel cmpelled to contribute then feel free to do so. If you don't then just move along.

Well, Earth isn't doing well, and "random acts of kindness" isn't really helping other than Noah and youself; helping youself in the sence that you probably think you just saved the World by taking out 15 mins of your time. Your post is also confusing me, since I would much rather be Mother Teresa than doing "a random act of kindness".

Then please, by all means, do so. I admire your thinking and wish you the best in your endeavors (assuming you plan on acting on it rather than just making a pointless passive aggressive statement), and if the rest of us had that sort of motivation, the world WOULD be a better place. However, none of us think we're saving the world by doing this kid a favor. We think we're doing just that.

Anyways

I can believe kids like ROtodyne and Xesbt are posting in this thread. Sure what you might have to say is true but is it really necessary to fucking say it in a thread like this?

I'm gonna leave it at this, as people find it off topic, sorry for bothering you and good luck with your cards.

someone needs to grow the f--- up. please keep your pathetic life out of TL or at least get one, that's really unnecessary, probably a 12 year old.

sorry for bringing it up again, couldn't help but to immediately respond to that when i first saw it. It's sad that we (people) forget about all the unfortunate children/kids/teenagers that have to go through with this and in some cases, pass away.. but this can only BENEFIT our understanding and respect for this touchy subject.. not just another child that died from a disease, but another angel. Whatever God that is out there watching over us.. God bless every child that goes through this.

Back on topic, is a snow man with stick fingers creepy? The one I'm working on looks like something out of an evil claymation video. Maybe I'll give him some mittens.

I apologize for my post, I didn't realize he was already taken care of and I impulsely posted because I was disturbed.

I give the TL community respect for not going along with that douche bag.

I am making flyers tonight for a college project, and I will make a card.
