WE are ALL going to DIE. What will they say about us then?

[L. Coyote]

In the final analysis, "We are ALL one family.

AND, politics is sure a lot of fun for us ALL too.

The 1,099 Trillion Principle.
How many ancestors do we have?

[meegbear]

1. Hopefully, that I'm not an asshole

[Virginia Dare]

2. Pat Robertson and I share a gene pool..

but I'll still celebrate when that rat bastard finally kicks.

[Horse with no Name]

4. I share one with Trent Lott

and ditto.

[Virginia Dare]

13. ....

:hug: thank you for sharing my shame..

[melody]

3. At least I wasn't Jerry Falwell n/t

[Arugula Latte]

30. Hee hee!

:thumbsup:

[porphyrian]

5. I won't care. I'll be dead.

I just don't want anyone telling me what I can or cannot say before I am.

[Mojambo]

6. Right on. n/t

[sheerjoy]

11. Whoops....

isn't that precisely what some did to/with Falwell?

Hmmmm... sorta double-standard there... but hey, whatever works for ya.

[porphyrian]

16. What?!

I never told the hateful fuck what he could or couldn't say. Who do you think I am? Who the fuck are you? Don't wag your finger at me, I'll snap the fucker off.

[sheerjoy]

19. Bless your heart. n/t

[porphyrian]

22. Yeah, whatever, random unintelligible opinion. - n/t

[karlrschneider]

21. He'd wave his weenie at you

if he could find it.
:rofl:

[porphyrian]

23. It's a he? More than I knew. - n/t

[Solly Mack]

7. I fully expect a few to poke my corpse to make sure I'm really dead

I've left instructions for people to party over my grave.

One thing they won't be saying is "She thought Falwell was a real swell guy"

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

8. We're all at least 50th cousins with one another

anyone who has done genealogy can attest to this.

You have spoken truth--we are one family--as the Lakota people say, we are all related.

Ho Metaquiatson.

[L. Coyote]

25. Too bad they didn't do this math before encountering the Lakota

and it was the atitude of Falwell's fundamentalist, evangelical culture that did not consider this fundamental undrstanding about humanity.

AND, the math is rather easy, 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 8+8= 16...., just addition!

[flamingyouth]

9. "She wasn't a sexist, homophobic asshole."

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Some people talk shit about me while I'm alive

Why would it be any different after I die..and why should I care?

BTW--I never included Falwell in my "global family".

[L. Coyote]

27. You write "BTW--I never included Falwell in my "global family"."

Me either. But now we can. I'd say, 'We don't have to listen to him anymore," but I expect we will get an overdose of him in the next day/week and really wish he wasn't one of the family!!

[murielm99]

12. That's one of the things I have been thinking about

while reading the threads here.

What will people say about me when I die?

I know there won't be this vast anger and hatred.

I have been to funerals for religious leaders. I have seen and read about funerals for prominent religious leaders. While some agnostics and atheists may dismiss their work as futile, for the most part, they have left this world with positive reviews.

If you look at it in those terms, Falwell failed in his mission. He did not spread Christ's love. He left behind a large amount of venom and hatred.

[Deep13]

14. Oh Jesus Christ! Who cares what people say when I'm dead.

One family? I guess you can choose your friends but not your relatives.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. "He told some good ones about Falwell croaking."

[bullwinkle428]

17. If Freepers celebrate my death,

it would mean I'd have made a difference for the positive in society!

[underpants]

18. Not me. I plan to live forever

so far
so good

[Hand]

20. Something like this...

"So, did you know this guy at all?"

"I know that I outlived the son of a bitch. Good enough for me."

:rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

24. What they will say about me:

26. What, no, "Who is in his will?" Oh, what a bunch of neoproletarians we are.

[TankLV]

28. Even if I started now, I doubt I could equal the evil that fatwell/fartwell has done...

I am sure I will be remembered positively, very positively...

[L. Coyote]

29. In my large family, there will be a real variety of comments

and I've heard most of them already. Nothing like I'm hearing here today, about Falwell, though.

Propaganda requires that some characters go beyond the edge of the spectrum to move the boundaries of discussion. Falwell had this role, just like a few others still living. They are the ones who will be singing his praises loudest in the media now.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

31. Me? Probably That I Was The Most Brilliant Mind To Ever Inhabit The Earth.

Either that, or the most cocky and arrogant. Guess time will tell. :)

[Kelly Rupert]

32. Your ancestors page is deeply flawed,

as it fails to take into account incest. Most people don't even know who their second/third cousins are, to say nothing of twelfth.

[L. Coyote]

34. In most genealogies, there is duplication within the last 10 generations

Many times one cousin is 1/64th more related than another. In states like Arizona, second cousin marriages are legal.

If there was no duplication of ancestors, there would actually have to be trillions and trillions of past people. NOT.

[Uncle Joe]

33. I hope they say, look he's moving!

I forgot the comedian who told that one.

[L. Coyote]

35. I hope I'm saying, "look, he moved." I want to live longest. n/t
