Being of an Irish persuasion, I wouldn't mind that rare gene. Maybe just a few of them.

I don't think that death grants someone automatic respect. However, we must be respectful of the deceased for the sake of their loved ones. Give it some time before we start to speak ill of the dead again, to allow those that are grieving some time to recoup.

So...does this mean no 'God Hates Fags' protests at military funerals? I'm confused. It's too bad Keith's father can't weigh in on this one..

How long would you say?

I wouldnt speak ill of the dead in front of the grieving person because some people cope with death by sanctifying the dead person.

But the answer to the question is no. assholes are assholes even after death. Actually id say that death should be the moment when you can analyze people's true nature instead of being fake.

for exigent news tragedies, maybe as a media source give the family a chance to identify the body before publicly shaming someone they cared about on their internet home pages and feeds. making life harder for the grieving is never a nice thing. elsewise, when you willingly become a public figure you take on a relationship with the public that opens you up to posthumous criticism.

I have no problem keeping in my ill words until bodies are identified and I know who I'm speaking ill about. In fact, it's my rule.

I think respect for the dead is personal and directly proportional to the positive influence that person has had on your life or on society.

For instance, the guy who always gets my order right at the deli is probably worth about a year of respect after he dies.

We're talking a lot of sandwiches.

Hm. Seems lengthy. Whatever happened to: develop a drug and/ or alcohol addiction, realize life is shit, and simply sucking it up?

I suppose I'm just old-fashioned that way.
