It's great to hear that you're daughter is doing well but a bit of a drag to hear she has so many more treatments.
Hopefully this will soon be a memory and all will be well. Take care man and good luck!

I want to thank Hellrider and Joe for their comments. They are appreciated. I have to get this out of my head to prevent migraines
so I must make this my last post on this. The funeral is tomorrow. His fiance wants to have a gathering at his place afterwards and
I'm struggling with whether to show or not. It still hasn't been determined if it was accidental or on purpose. Do I shun her for something
that may have been accidental or do I support her. I'll probably go. Please don't respond to this. I must stop!
Thanks for the support!
[joedraper] Friday, January 07, 2011 11:47:36 AM 
Bud, this is where you should  come when  horrible, unthinkable things like this happen. We're sort of a little family here and we're here to help each other through pain and hardship like this. Nothing you did created what happened so don't beat yourself up about that. Rather concentrate on how you can be of help to your friend's family. 
I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Sudden death is so horrible. All I can say is you are in my prayers and you can speak to any of your friends here (including me) anytime you need support. This site and the friends I have here have helped me through some horrible situations. Let us be here for you xxx

[Budred] Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:50:49 AM 
I just received a phone call that may make this even more disturbing for me. It looks like he may have
done this to himself. He fought with his girlfriend almost daily lately. He was overheard saying he would
"fix" her by eating one of her scripts. She's missing a bunch of pills and he's dead. I'll stop posting on this.
This is giving me a migraine and I'm starting to get sick. I got to get this out of my head.

If "ANYONE" out there is going through anything similar to what he was, man just get the f*ck away. Doing what
he "may" have done solves nothing and leaves alot of hurt people in it's wake.


 Lastly I'm sorry for these posts, I had nowhere else to go.
I'm probably going to stay away for a few days. Take care all. (And stay the f*ck away from those f*cking pills)
[Head banger] Thursday, January 06, 2011 8:04:03 AM

It's 2:45 am and I can't stay asleep. Maybe this is a little bad kharma for the stupid shit I wished on Jimmy.
I'm really regretting that right now.
Thanks Becks and HRMG. You're words are appreciated.
I wish we would have gotten his text sooner. He didn't even tell me he sent it the last time I saw him. It was a bit
sad reading it. Just an hour before my wife told me I had to, and I was looking forward to it. Now it just makes me cry.

[Vaillant 3.0] Thursday, January 06, 2011 1:52:26 AM

My wife stopped by where I work today. I asked her to call a friend of mine and let him know that we would stop by
after I got home. She told me he had sent us a text thanking us for a christmas card and that I have to read it. I called
her on my way home and asked her what the message said. She sounded a little down and she said he was thanking 
us and telling us how awesome we are. I asked her if something was wrong and she said yes. She hesitated so I asked 
her "What?"  She said John died last night.
It's still fucking me up. He was 32 years old. I just saw him 3 days ago. WTF!!!

Hi everyone,

its has been awhile since we have posted here, because the difficult times with our youngest princess is not over yet
we have some bad news 

the treatment at home has been carried out now for about ten weeks, she was getting chemo pils at home sort of after treatment after the treatment she had in the hospital with all the baxters and stuff

After these 10 weeks they suddenly noticed that the docter that was treating her gave the wrong perscription dosis, he had given her a dosis of 5 mg of chemo but it should have been 50 mg
the result could be that our daughter has gone into a relapse of the leukimia cancer and that the whole treament will have to be done all over again.

for the moment  we are still wainting on the further blood results this coming friday, if those results are negative than monday next week we will then have to do a bone marrow punction to so the extend of the damaga that has happend.

hopefully it wont be that bad, but the blood results of las friday were saying otherwise the max count of 4000 and the results were 6000 so thats troubling us allot.

according to the information we got from the doctors there was some confusion in the medications and she said maybe the pharmecy made the mistake so that is how it always goes
doctors dont make mistakes maybe a bit confusing and the others are responssible for the mistakes

that dont intrest us the only thing thats important for us that our little princess gets better soon and gets cured from the lukemia


we will keep you guys and girls informed about the evolution of this case

To read your post made me feel so good. I am (sincerely) happy that things seem to be working out. I hope the

Craig, I totally get wheat you're saying. When you're that close to a situation it is impossible to not be emotional. I have been very emotional since all this broke out and unless you're in the situation (like you were) it is hard to explain to people how you react to it. 
I apoligize for making my problem  everyone elses problem. I just am so freaked/stressed out and afraid for my family's future that I turned to the board because so many of you genuinly care out here.
Thank you to everyone for all the kind words and support. 
I will keep you posted on the progressions.

Craig, I have to admit that I'm very suprised by your post...in a good way!!  I was really shocked at your original post, I wrote what I wrote and left it alone.  To now see you come back the way you have in your last post, all I can really say to you now is 'thank you'.  As Randy and Pam expressed, what you did took guts and I have nothing but respect for you for that!!  Thank you for taking a second look at it.  If more of us did that (myself included), we'd all be better for it.

Craig, I would just like to say that it takes a very big man to apologize and take responsibility for his actions. I applaud you, I really do. I wish more people were able to admit when they were wrong. I admit that I really didn't like what you said, but now I understand where you were coming from. Yes, it really is scary to see what we as people are capable of. But then again, we are also capable of doing GREAT things as well.

As far as keeping your trap shut, well..... we are all guilty of letting our emotions get the better of us. God knows I wish I'd kept my mouth shut on a lot of things! Hindsight is always 20/20 as they say.

I would like to apologize for my shenanigans. I admit that my post was too rude and way over the top.

It was an emotional outburst triggered by Joe's posts. The current situation in South Africa reminds me of days long gone by when I went through a very eerie period in my life. Yes, I still have very vivid memories of the LA riots. The whole thing had a direct effect on me, because it happened in my own neighborhood. I was scared, outraged and hurt to see the kind of destruction that we (as a people) are capable of doing to ourselves. It was disturbing and I will never forget it. It made me realize that in the end we are a bunch of barbarians under a very thin layer of civilization.

Of course that's no excuse. I should've kept my trap shut.

Currently. At the time, Spain was all by its lonesome. Menaced by the rest of what we now call "Europe," in fact, as hyperinflation hit, then dictatorships, etc.

Bad moves on both parts would be my conclusion. Both now and then. I fear for the future.

Hmmm...sounds very much like Spain c. 1492. Expulsion of the Jews that were the basis of the economy and the Moors who were the traders.

They were once a world power and have been trying to recover ever since.

What I hate about the South African situation is that the government is basically advocating the slaughter of the people that keep the countrys infrastructure going. Once the whites in the country leave or are killed things will deteriorate and all that will be left will be millions of aids stricken, uneducated, starving tribal peoples ruled by a "government" which is actually nothing more than a dictatorship propped up by the military. See Rhodesia. Thing is no-one outside can do anything about it. Some of the stuff going on there makes the mind boggle.

I was really trying to come to grips with an appropriate response to all of this. It's very difficult for me. To begin with, I really LIKE Craig. He's a good egg. I am not all that sure he is a "racist". He has an opinion, however misguided it may be.

I am old enough to remember the Watts Riots as well. I lived through the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's and I remember it. I have often said that I am not an "oppressed" black man so it is really beyond me to try to think as one. I have never been denied anything due to my color. I do not know what it is like to live in such a manner. Having acknowledged all of this, I must say that I agree with Guido completely. To paint all people of color with the same brush by suggesting that they are violent by nature is simply ignorant. 

The environment in which one lives has much to do with one's behavior. There are good and bad in all peoples. In all countries. I have never been to Africa, Somalia, the Congo or any other "black" country. I have NO idea what life is like there. I do know that people are people and things like slavery were not invented by white people. Man has enslaved his brother since time began. It is sickening and sad and a blemish on ALL humankind. I also know that I, personally, have never owned another person (black or otherwise). Neither did my father, grandfather or great grandfather. I am fairly confident that I had NOTHING to do with oppressing blacks and, therefore, I feel no particular guilt nor debt to them. They are just people like me.

We cannot change what was. We can only make our little part of "now" as good as it can be. We also cannot change what others do. There are scum among us and it will always be so. Murderers, rapists, child molestors, Brian Evans impostors, etc. They are the filth of the world and will be here long after we have gone.

Remember my post about intolerance. This is exactly what I was talking about. I feel so bad about Joe's situation
and I so commend her for her last post. To endure what she has to and still speak out against racism shows what  
kind of person she is. I have nothing but respect for her. I so wish the world could follow. I can't pray but I hope and 
wish nothing but the best for Joe and her family. Show support all, she deserves it. Peace!

The last thing I wanted to do with this discussion was turn it around into hate speach. The reason things are like they are today is very much due to hatred and intolerance of each other.  The black people in our country did have a shit deal for many, many years before I was even born. What I am going on about now is how after the democratic voting took place and apartheid was abolished in 1990, things have gotten worse. We live in an overpopulated world with imorral fat cats in leadership positions. Our current president was charged with corruption and rape (found not guilty), has multi wives and has just fathered his 20th child in a poverty stricken country? He (andf Julias) live in the lap of luxury while so many otheres starve.

If these so called leaders would not let gread and their own hedonism go into overdrive, there would be enough food/clothing/housing for so many more. Education is power but they make it impossible for lower class peoole to attend school while they go on shopping trips to Dubai and drive cars that are in the million rands price range (why?)

I am one of the lucky ones I guess, I have a nice home, food and can educate my children. Not many can say the same. I just wish that like Spa said earlier, people would stop focusing on past events and move the hell on. We have the potential to be so much more. Killing just because you don't like someone's skin colour will never be right.. on either side of the spectrum. I'm not hateful toward any race, I just feel very threatened being a white female in this country where we are on the brink of a race war because of ignorant people in power singing songs to starving black people validating the murder and rape of white people. 
That is what I was on about!

Please to anyone reading this. It was never about hate!
The last thing I want to be portrayed as is something I haved fought against my entire life here.. a racist.. I am certainly not a racist and I despise racists.

Personally, I think that the past should absolutely be acknowledged and not forgotten. But in order to move forward, we can't live in the past. It holds us back from any sort of progress. But I know it's much much more complicated than that.

The thing is, there has been mistreatment in the past, but how do you make up for that today?  afirmitive action?  reverse racism?  give money?  what realy needs to happen is everyone to move on.  wont happen though.  lots use past wrongs as an excuse.

I do feel for Joe and her situation and being forced to leave a home that she belongs to is injust. But Mr. Craig's post was not about that. He took this conversation and used it to his own means of hate speech. That is pathetic. There are many reasons for what has happened over the years in America and in other countries, but sadly it all comes down to hate being taught to a generation of beings, and passed along down the line. This is the poison that will kill us all.

Dude, if you know your history, there were also MASSIVE race riots in Detroit in 1967. It spread out to other poor cities in Michigan and most of it was, IMO, the direct result of many years of white on black oppression. Like you, I cannot fathom what is going on in another country (especially S. Africa at the moment) but I can speak about what I know.

I also lived through the time Craig described in his little hate speech. Sorry, I don't think it anything BUT a hate speech. Pay close attention to the video. Many went to the aid of the white people being attacked. It was described again and again in the news about how certain "people of color" went out to do the right thing and defend their fellow Man irrespective of their color.

Craig seems to step over a little white problem called SLAVERY. Segregation followed for years and, still, he blames blacks (not just African-Americans as many ARE Africans) as having some sort of "hate gene." Sorry, don't buy it nor do I like such racist remarks and, yes, they couldn't be more racist.

I do agree, as I have said, that there is nothing I could imagine to even begin to understand the problems of South Africa. Of course it is worse than the race riots here. Then again, go back not too many years and the KKK was alive and well doing everything and anything they wanted to the blacks in this country.

Hatred is not an innate trait to ANY culture / race / religion in my humble opinion.

Not sure what the situations like in the States. But I do think more peoples views would be in line with Craigs if you had been there too. Seeing that kind of thing happen is going to change your perspective for sure. It's not preaching hate, it's an opinion, that's all. 

The thing is the LA riots is nothing compared to what's going on in South Africa. The blacks are out of control, it's like sharks at a feeding frenzy. Johannesburg, I think, is the most violent city in the world. When Joe says she fears for her family etc. She literally fears they could be killed at any time. That stuff happens there all the time.
