Really?
What about the millions of Americans who hated Roosevelt and weren't upset at all when he died?
Do you "understand" what "entire" means?

I'm sure the "millions of Americans" who allegedly hated Roosevelt weren't cheering in the streets due to his death. One would think the death of a President while still serving would be upsetting to a majority of the nation, whether you cared for that President or not. Of course, with THIS President so many bigots and racists WOULD cheer in the street. But I digress - I think you are taking his post a bit too literally.
That's exactly right: if Obummer croaked tomorrow, no one could report with a shred of accuracy that the "entire" nation would be upset. Same was true with W, same was true with Clinton, and the very same was most definitely true with Roosevelt. Even Kennedy's assassination didn't upset the "entire" nation - because of the millions who hated him, too. Lincoln? You're joking.
Sorry to bust your fluff bubble.
Btw: it was her post, not "his", and this happens to be somewhat of a literary site where taking stuff "literally" should be encouraged, not rebuffed just because you have a playgrounder 4x4 wedged perpetually up your butt.

Were you born an ass hole or are you a self made ass hole?
Don't answer, pissflap. No one cares.
Then why did you ask, wannabe?
Isn't it swell that so many have become so spoiled that they soak in the luxury of sitting around and pontificating about how hurtful and shocking death is, when not so long ago, in a less entitled time, unintentional death simply had to be dealt with as the fact of life it naturally is.
The socialist feminization of culture continues: shock and dismay equally displayed whether it's the death of a loved one or some unmet in People magazine; while, out of the other side of their starving souls, they champion the intentional killing of totally innocent babes.
The dead truly do delight in burying their own.
Saw a bloke die in Reno once...
Wannabe you?
Oh for fucks sake
I'm just sick of your shit like everyone else.
What a miserable bastard.![]()
Ain't he, though? Bet the fucker came out of his mom's birth canal in vinegar instead of broke water!
And what in the blue bonnet blazes is "socialist feminization" supposed to mean, eh?
It's like someone got him a third-hand store-bought used dictionary with half the pages ripped out of it for a cheap birthday gift or something!
I lost my best friend in a car crash when I was 10 or so. He lingered in a coma for a couple of days. I often flash back in time to the funeral, walking out the aisle of the church and crying so hard that I couldn't see. It was one of the few times in my life that I have cried openly in public and it's something that changed me radically from that point on.
I think this cannot be so.
To take things literally at all times removes the essential literary scope for various literary devices. Furthermore, as writing is a creative art form much encompassed in it might be literary but far from literal. Confining the topic to this forum, for ease, just because someone rights a story about sex with a fairy tale creature , I do not assume they are writing from personal experience. To take this literally would be ....slightly mad.
