Comment Re:DC's decision is the right one (Score 2) 249

If DC allows the monument for this child, what's to prevent some other family asking for the same use of the superman logo (likeness?)? Where do the requests stop?

Why would this be a problem?

As in what, precisely, would be wrong with allowing parents to use your trademark of a beloved children's character on their dead kids' tombstones?

I'm having a hard time accepting that you think people deserve/don't deserve to have a fictional fucking comic book character's logo on their damn tombstone.

I mean, OK, you want to be that way? What, then, did Reeve or Reeves ever do that was super? Save a baby from a burning building? Or did they just act in a couple of crappy films? What's so damn super about that?

If anyone "deserves" a Superman logo on their grave, it's the soldiers who sacrifice themselves to save their buddies, by throwing themselves on a grenade, for example. Or firemen in general. Or yea, maybe a little boy who endured some shit that no child should ever go through. Not some B-list actor who sucked at riding horses.

a lot of people are not going to like this

Well good, it gives me hope for humanity that a lot of people instantly recognize ignorant shit-speak when they see it.

It's pretty easy to find my phone in my pocket, and the phone is only pocketed when on foot. Maybe you're thinking of a large purse rather than a pocket.

I never said anything about difficulty. I said that some people find the practice of digging about in a pocket for a timepiece, when they could more easily keep one strapped to a wrist, to be stupid.

Which is an absolute fact (that some people feel that way, not that it's necessarily a stupid action).

My question is, why does it matter to you the reasons other people do things you don't? Don't try to say it doesn't, as it's plainly obvious you care at least enough to make a remark about it, then respond to someone who replied to your remark.

In Minnesota where I live, and in many other states, fireworks are illegal. I appreacieate the irony of people celebrating the countries independance by breaking it's laws.

That not irony. Declaring independence from the British Crown was an illegal act as well.

The problem i believe most people have with crying babies it's with parents that are tired of their kids and want a break from them.. and leave the kids crying and pretend nothing is happening while all the restaurant it's listening to the baby.

That is exactly the problem - most people (shy of that one asshole who hates everything) have absolutely no problem with responsible parent, who actually takes care of their child's needs and does their best to avoid causing too much disruption for others. It's the lazy fucks who ignore their screaming brood while they stuff their own faces and check Facebook that tend to piss even the most polite, non-confrontational non-parent right off.

What i would recomend in this situation... go there.. give a helping hand... offer your help to take care of the baby while the parents eat for 10 minutes free of any responsability.

Fuck that, if I wanted to be responsible for raising a child, I'd have one of my own. Maybe, if those "parents" are tired of rearing their offspring, they should have thought of that before making the decision to bring another human life into this world.

If raising and caring for your own child is too much for you to handle, get fixed and give them up for adoption. DO NOT expect society to do your parenting job for you.
