Pigeonho said:People who didn't know the 23 year old soldier who got killed in Afghanistan from round where I live, but they lined the street to pay their respects. If someone came up to us and said, 'you didn't know him', i'd label that person insensitive.gordondaviesmoustache said:Pigeonho said:Is that right? That's fucking excellent that.
(To the insensitive: I don't know Puyol by the way, so is it ok to feel awesome that he did what he did?)
Insensitive to who? I thought we'd already established nobody on here knew him.
Fair play to Puyol. Great gesture, that.
That's different and you know it. That is someone from round where you live so you have a connection with him. I assume you haven't shown your respects for the other soldiers that were doubtless flown back with him from other parts of the country.

Course I haven't, not in the same way anyway but when I hear about someone fallen in the news I instantly feel sorry for them and their loved ones. The thing with football is that when you hear stories like this, people feel that closeness immediately, or some do anyway. I can see why some don't, but for me personally I feel shit that some 23 year old kid who once tried to make it with a major PL team has died from cancer at the age of 23. I won't shed a tear, but the OP did and fair play to him.gordondaviesmoustache said:Pigeonho said:People who didn't know the 23 year old soldier who got killed in Afghanistan from round where I live, but they lined the street to pay their respects.

Sometimes it's better to keep moronic thoughts to yourself, this is probably one of them.

I fail to see what's moronic about saying that someone crying over another person they've never met in favour of other people they've never met is absurd and arbitrary. A child has died in Africa while I've been typing this. Has that made you cry? Thought not.
