Sir Creep

Okay, maybe not a rarity, but it's not like they're an everyday thing. "Only" a couple of times a year. That's still a LOT more then any other country... Sure, but Afghanistan has much more terrorists. Wikipedia has helpfully collated a record of school shootings. Here's the page that lists the US school shootings, and here's the main page which lists the rest of the world. "There are notable school shootings all over the world, with the United States having the highest number of school-related shootings." Interesting to note that Switzerland has half the number of guns per capita (fourth) compared to the United States (first) but doesn't feature at all on the list. The difference is that Switzerland has national service, so after all that they're then fully trained and permitted to carry a firearm. Whereas in the United States people assume that just because it says in the constitution that they can own a firearm, they think they should. You can't just 'carry a gun' in the US! On the contrary. The percentage of law-abiding citizens packing a piece at any given time has to be under 2% and legally carrying (ie got a permit) I'd venture to guess under 0.2%. Someone watching too many Hollywood movies. SC

I gave you a 'like' for NOT posting a goddamn Bulgarian link like some people around here do with useless obits (see Dutch, Italian, Swedish). SC

By FAR the most noteworthy thing about her is this: "In 1955, she married television director Robert Ellis Miller, whom she had met as a student when she auditioned for his production of The Man Who Came to Dinner, staged while he was president of the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club. HE SURVIVES HER." How fucking old is HE then??? Put him on your lusts IMMEDIATELY he will be depressed and die. How rare a man survives his elderly wife.... SC Well I looked--he's only 82. (?) wtf the the obit makes no sense unless she came into acting later in life. It's all lies! Lies I tell you :-/ SC

Yes but the article claims this is a positive step I her recovery not a giving up step. Didn't we hear a day ago her organs were shutting down? I wish we would get the straight dope on her. SC

USA always, given our laws. But let's be specific and impressive: due to many post jobs in the oil field and a loss of hope I certain communities, I'll say Williston, ND or Cotulla or Carrizo Springs TX. SC

And you only need to look at the post above yours to see that it was posted 14 hours earlier Haha. So long as you understand when I 'complain' I'm only mocking those that do and mean it. I'll just let it go... CuZ I couldn't care less if we post 10x but I DO care if we miss an obit altogether. SC

I said 2015 would be the year of the drummer, in part cuz of Nigel Glockler's condition. He was on my shirt list but seems to have recovered enough to plan on going BACK ON TOUR!

Getting back on track, and understanding I've posted it in WWII Vets already, obit of Battle of the Bulge veteran Lieutenant Leon Kent, who dies at 99. SC http://news.yahoo.com/leon-kent-hero-battle-bulge-dies-99-205148453.html

I'm proud to post the obit of Army Lieutenant Leon Kent, who has died at 99 yrs old, and who led troops at the Battle of the Bulge. RIP SCreep http://news.yahoo.com/leon-kent-hero-battle-bulge-dies-99-205148453.html

Excellent spot - clearly obit-worthy. Hell yeah, and well worth reading if you like the kind of humour/insight on this site. The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat being an accessible and entertaining place to start. Thanks for the recommendation on reading material. Are we in ageeemebt he is on all our lists next year lol SC

That's the urgent 'updates' on this thread? Two guys saying they have an epiphany this guy may die soon? SC

So why not post the link yourself? Hey I'm new and trying to follow suit. When I posted herein I'd be directed to someone else's post in a specific forum. And vice versa. I don't want to clutter up this forum any more than I have, though I think it was a healthy chat. From now on I'll personally make sure I post in Dead of 2015 and then in the specific forum or nothing further. We shall see how that works. In the end I know e.g. Castro will be listed in Political Frailty and not here. But I hope everyone puts all Deaths here eventually. SC

It gets a bit annoying when the same death is posted in 4 or 5 different threads. Like some bit part actor that had a walk on part in Dr Who, then had a talking part on Blakes 7, and had a week or two in a soap. I've always been under the assumption that the "deaths of 2015" was for actual deaths and the other threads were simply to update about health issues. Although once in a while I may have posted the same death under a couple of threads. What happens if they also had bit parts in Grange Hill, The Bill or Casualty? One would think that but if you post an obit here an hour after it's been posted in another forum, you'll be told by at least one person who shall remain nameless that 'it's already posted' with a link to the forum. It's maddening. SC

Professor and author Oliver Sachs has terminal cancer and at 81 he likely won't see 2016, making him a post in the Ivory tower forum. But if he should.....! SC http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/opinion/oliver-sacks-on-learning-he-has-terminal-cancer.html?_r=2&referrer=
