Is that odd? I mean even for living in the U.S? I was thinking about it and in almost every other country, seeing dead people is almost normal. people see dead bodies everyday. It's a part of life for most of the world. who else here hasn't?

No funerals?

i've seen lots.

silly Richmond and its high murder rate!

I was the last thing an old man saw before being killed.

it was terrible.

I remember once as a child I was driving with my parents. Up ahead there was one police car beginning to tape off the scene of a car wreck. As we drove by, I saw the decapitated and bleeding head of a teenage girl. We actually drove through the flow of blood from the upside down car to the middle of the road.

jesus christ. I don't know...I really can't handle death. I HATE it. it makes me so upset.

a few weeks ago this guy from my school (who i didn't know, but who was good friends with a lot of my good friends) jumped off a freeway overpass and died. I can't drive that part of the freeway anymore without getting the willies.

It was in Albuquerque about 6 months ago.
The guy was crossing the street really slowly, the light had already turned green, there was a bigger truck in the middle lane, and the right lane was open...the guy was in front of the truck in the middle lane and began entering the right lane to cross, a bus was going about 40 in that lane and hit him as soon as he walked into the lane, the guy looked RIGHT at me the second before he got hit, he was pretty old, the bus was going pretty fast and im pretty damned sure he died.

Thanks asshole.

I've covered so many wrecks, murders, house fires, etc. that I've been desensitized by death.

Heads on roads, crisp bodies, limbs chopped off ... it sadly doesn't bother me anymore.

I've never seen one.

You people are sick.

Wrong, chief. Half the time, newspaper reporters get on the scene before most of the EMT's.

That is badass.

there were only two unarmed guards there too. I coulda thrown a rock through
his crystal case before they coulda done anything to stop me.

ive never seen one either.

The funeral types put way too much foundation on my grandma AND my grandpop. Looked like 14 year old whores, and everyone stood around saying how good they looked. Tsk tsk.

This thread is depressing:erm:

i've seen ramses the great and some other weird preserved bodies in europe that i can't remember. when i was in new orleans, i saw a dead woman on the sidewalk as police covered up her body. that's about it for me, though.

my grandfather, great-grandmother, i saw my great-aunt die in front of me, and several shot victims as well as traffic accident deaths :(

I find this post a lot less disturbing than the one talking about fucking girls on the rag.

Eh, I was in the room when my Grandfather stopped breathing and it was pretty scary.

The only dead bodies I've seen are the bodies of those that dare to talk shit to Tasty.

Some old guy coded in the Vascular Lab while they were doing their test on him. I heard one of the techs yell out 'help' so I ran over there and he was lying on the floor. Apparently, he was what they call a 'no call' which is similar to a do not resusitate (sp?) thing. It was awful, I had just talked to him about five minutes before when transport brought him down. :(

does this count?

<font color="#0080ff">I've gone to quite a few funerals so far including my great-grandmother, both my grandparents, and my father. I've also seen numerous family pets come and go. I watched my father die the morning of July 22nd this year in a hospital. He had an open casket viewing followed by cremation. Because he died out of state, he had to be embalmed before transport. I don't think my Mom planned for that expense. My parents talked about the most cost-effective way to go since my Dad has been sick for awhile with a terminal disease and we are in soo much debt because of it. The cemetery wants $500 just to bury his ashes...

hell, the worse WOUND i've seen was a small cut my brother got on his face which involved about 5 stitches... that's as close as i've gotten to death.

sheltered much? yeeeaaahh.
