"If i had a terminal illness or AIDS i wouldn't want everyone to be awkward around me in case they might say something wrong or anything, i wouldnt want pity. I'd joke about it and keep everyone, and myselfs spirit up and i wouldnt mind other people talking about it around me, I'd rather everyone be themselves then treat me any different just because i may be suffering or dying,"
Oh, you would would you? And how could you possibly fathom what it must be like to have a terminal illness. You'd be happy and keep your spirits up!!? Do me a favour and get in the real world. Moreover if you were dying and your only wish was to sit on front of the TV and a videogame - 'coz that's all it flamin' well is - you're mad, mate, simply mad.
"And If anyone was offended by this I do apologize but I didn't mean any harm. Its just having a little fun, lighten up, seriously."
Yeah it don't matter that you're ill, lighten up!
What must they be thinking! Getting upset because you're saying it would be funny to fake what is essentially ruining their and their families lives! They must be 'over-sensitive' if they take offense! Who would!
Jeez, man.
"because that would make me think about every little word i say, and that would take the joy out of discussion. "
Heaven forbid you'd actually have to THINK! Oh, no. Surely not! You know what you've made laugh in so many ways, just not in the way you intended.
Dude. Chill. Now. Whether what he did was good or bad, no one stepped up and said he/she was offended by it. Even though RedLeader should have taken more caution, nobody has been hurt, yet. If someone does come up and say something, then RedLeader is going to have to explain himself. And you don't have to be so mad at him... he didn't mean to mock or make fun of anyone, he was just trying to spark conversation. So come down. Nobody is going to sue because of this. Come down.
