ellcee Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 http://abc7ny.com/coast-guard-searching-for-man-who-jumped-from-cruise-ship/3340208/ My first though is dummy. My second is I hope he's okay and it wasn't a depression thing. My third is I wonder if he had the drink package. Lindsay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet21 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 It's sad that at age 24, this young man felt he needed to make such a tragic choice. ellcee, dimysmith and Skid 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Some of the comments here belong on the "other" board. Some things should just plain not be joked about. Do not want to hear how I should lighten up or get a sense of humor---"it's not me, it's you".

I would never tell anyone to lighten up but I would also not chastise someone online. Mods - if you'd like to delete this thread please go ahead, I'm not here to offend.

Skid Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 @ellcee , I was absolutely not referring to you. You stated a simple thought which you have every right to do. I know from your posts that you have never been offensive or sarcastic. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 To each their own. Just cause you think or feel a certain way about something doesn't mean everyone else does. So as much as it may bother or offend you.....it doesn't for many others. If people cant speak up or make a comment or view their opinions for worrying about offending someone out there, then I don't want to be a part of that group or society......and maybe I will jump over the side of the ship to deal with it...... Get my point? if you don't that's ok too and I wont tell you to go post on the "other" board and I wont be offended either..its a free world...

Get my point? . The point you are making, whether intended or not, is that it is fine to poke fun at someone else's tragedy. If that is the society you are in, then I am thrilled to not be a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monctonguy Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I didn't say anything either way...I simply was stating that people should be able to speak their mind freely...if they cross a line and you don't like it that's ok too....

Skid Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 It is not about beating a dead horse or about being politically correct. It's about human beings showing some respect and sympathy for parents who lost a child under tragic circumstances. It is baffling to me how some people don't get that. If it's supposed to be a family here on RCBlog, I guess I've been disowned by some. Oh well. briankeith513, Floski, Lovetocruise2002 and 4 others 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was simply a joke to try and make light of a sad situation, it's called "laughing in the face of adversity" however WE should be grateful that the incident wasnt worse, 1000's of people on the ship that could have become targets for someone wanting to end their life, as has happened in various schools or streets across the world, when someone has no control of their brain or their actions the result can be catostrophic, we should be grateful that didn't happen.

RestingBird Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Maybe I didn't read enough of the article...but it doesn't say if there was a tragic ending to the jump or not. So, I have no problem with the original post, or any "jokes" thereafter. Maybe it was a millennial YouTuber looking to make a name. Maybe it was suicide because of medication being taken. We don't know. Let it go. Thanks to @ellcee for posting the link, that's what this site is for, cruise news. ellcee and monctonguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And YES i would and have done, Unless you have been through a tragic event yourself you will never know how sometimes laughter is the ONLY thing that makes a differnce, as it takes your mind off whatever is ripping you apart inside which in turn STOPS you from doing something stupid. hayley_bopp and henrysea13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
