I just find mourning to be pointless. Lets say I die. So atleast a few people are gonna be pretty sad, like my mother. But why? Im dead. Its not like Im feeling any pain or anything. I will probably be in a better place (ok, maybe Im a bad example haha). So why mourn? Honest to God, when I die, I want those who would be mourning to throw a party instead. My ride just friggin ended, so Im pissed enough for the whole block. I want my life to be remembered as a happy one, so throw a huge party and have a good time. I think that would be the best way to honor a persons memory, instead of having a funeral where everything is gloomy and depressing and everybody cries. Thats not any fun. As for Cho, what he did was heinous, no doubt, and hes rotting in hell for it. I just dont get all the facebook groups that have popped up to state that fact. If you look, most of them are from other schools not even close to Tech. The Hokies havent even gotten around to hating him yet, so why is everybody else? Seems like a misplacement of energy to me. And think of his family too. Im really ashamed to say they are probably living in constant fear right now. That is needless. They are devastated by this as well, probably even more so in the horror that it was their son who caused this. Leave the poor people alone.

First, no one should idolize this guy. And while he did a heinous thing, I dont understand all this hatred for him or his family. Do you people realize how f***ed up in the head someone would have to be to do something like this? This wasnt the result of boredom. It was the result of insanity. Let his family grieve in peace. They lost a loved one too. Second, can someone explain to me what exactly wearing maroon and orange for a day is supposed to mean? Or holding candlelight vigils? Or putting that bow up as a profile picture on facebook? Or that now god-awful pop culture phrase "We are all Hokies for today"? What does this mean? Is this our way of showing sympathy? If my school were to get shot up, and people insisted on wearing our colors the next day, and the day after that and so on, it wouldnt mean a damn thing to me. Neither would a candlelight vigil. Do something productive! Collect donations and start scholarships or something. Change the world. But burning candles, and spending a crapload of money to make tshirts so that people can wear them all over town, that accomplishes nothing. Another thing I hate that I see mainly on facebook, is that people seem to be FIGHTING for pride on this topic. Ive seen several groups that are, to paraphrase, "The OFFICIAL Tech Memorial Group". Yes, with "official" in all caps. As though this person wanted to make sure his group was the greatest and most important. And then other people are just joining fifty different groups all saying the same thing, and posting their status as some sort of memorial to Tech. I dont know about the rest of you, but to me, this just shouts "LOOK AT ME IM AWESOME IM PRAYING FOR TECH!" Its pretentious. I am not a Christian, but the Bible tells us to retreat into privacy for prayer. Dont do it in the open, as though to call attention to yourself. Do it on your own time, away from others. Charity and consolation should be the same. Talk to your friends at Tech, and console them if need be, but do not attempt to glorify yourself or even bring attention to yourself. This detracts from the main focus, which is the victims who need consoling. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I hate the idea of funerals, and will vomit posthumously if one is held for me. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/...?ltl=1176760812 This is about the worst thing Ive seen. Are they freakin serious? A prayer petition? Like thats going to cheer these people up. Not to mention it has a freakin goal of 100,000 or something like that. A goal? "Lets see how many prayers we can get. Lets see how great we can be." Pretentiousness.

Ok, look, I gotta apologize for my Cho comment. It was me being stupid, and trying to be funny. But it wasnt. I didnt even think at the time that it would offend so many people. Im sorry.

And for the love of God, can we get some insurance? I do NOT want to see Jenks come in to save this with a one run lead. I have no faith in him.

I dont think the NL has that much of a difference on a pitchers ERA. Aces there would be aces here. But its a moot point. If Kyle Lohse has an ERA under 4.50 at the end of the season, I will donate my left nut to the Salvation Army.

Wow. Kyle Lohse has a 2.53 ERA after three starts. He might have gotten...gasp...GOOD.

Bah. I think "quite f***ing true" is a good prediction, and it means the same thing, unlike Harris' guess.

QFT = quite f***ing true?

My mlb.tv is jerky too, danman. Its not unbearable, but its certainly a tad annoying.

With Fields around, youd have a feeling Crede would be playing a little harder and better. I guess not.

Our pitchers should strangle their defenders. Especially Crede. Cant hit, and now he cant field either.

As much as I hate what just happened, I knew the inning was over as soon as I saw that ball leave Credes bat. A 2 out hit from one of these schmucks? No way!

I cant believe our offense this year. We are straight up pathetic. This is disgusting.

1st and 3rd, no outs, and we blow it. Its not the first time, either. f*** you, Crede.

We are retards.
