You've got to be kidding me.
I found this on CNN.com.
"Slain students to receive degrees
Meanwhile, Virginia Tech's provost announced Thursday that the university will award the students killed in Monday's rampage with posthumous degrees.
"The families are very happy about this, and we are actually going to award those degrees during the regular commencement exercises that the students would have participated in with their friends," said Mark McNamee, provost and vice president for academic affairs."
This is so fucking stupid.
I mean seriously, "posthumous degrees".
I can't even compose my thoughs as to how uterlly retarded this is. Should they all file posthumous tax returns, and get posthumous driverlicense renewals, and get posthumous marriage certificates if they had a significant other?
Just insane...
When I die, for whatever reason, don't award me shit. I won't need it. Just fucking remember me, and celebrate what I did, not what I would have done.

Man, you're really sour about this whole thing huh?
I don't have a problem with it. It doesn't hurt anything, and maybe it gives their families a little something extra to remember them by.

That is so fucking lame. Do they award posthumous degrees to people who die of cancer or burst appendix?
Everyone sucks. It's on the cover of these weeks people magazine. It made the throw up a little in my mouth.

Stupidity and hypocrisy always make me mad, but I think wifey would agree that we're quite happy and content lately.

Quite to the contrary, if people truly believed in God and Heaven, they would think that the day a given person dies is the best thing that could have happened to them.
Why weep when your loved one is in Paradise?

Thanks for the message.
Yeah I'd heard rumors that Jake-o and Shortney were to be wed -- Here's to them not reproducing like rabbits.
Apparently they are living in Mighty Wausau and doing it that way.
Hope you, wife & son are doing excellent.

I think it's their way of grieving, everyone is different.
Maybe I'm a bitch, and this goes back to your previous post... what's the big deal. They're dead already. There are other people, MORE people dying violently everyday why can't they get news coverage like this, and posthumous driver licenses?
I hate the news (corporate news) and want all the news coverage to end, now. Let's get back to Britney Spears dropping her baby on it's head again.... that's the real important stuff.
