[QUOTE=Mr.Cookie;37768034]You are only saying this because you probably have no idea what it's like to have a child.[/QUOTE] and you do?

[QUOTE=343N;37782185]and you do?[/QUOTE] You can cunt off if you're taking korjax's side

i.. couldn't watch it.

[QUOTE=343N;37782185]and you do?[/QUOTE] I think we can say with some certainty that a parent outliving their child hurts just as much no matter their age. if humans were entirely rational creatures and didn't act out of emotions at all, I would perhaps consider the possibility that a traumatized parent would simply say "well I didn't really know her so I don't give much of a fuck." I mean come on man, the dude's kid died.

God damn, I've seen this before and I still got a watery eye. [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=KorJax;37767137]That was pretty sad. Honestly though... if I was father I would rather have this happen when my daughter was young (like what happened to his daughter at 2yrs of age) then to have to endure the same thing when my daughter had her life already established and on a track, something like 8-14 years old. A 2 year old is sad to have cancer, but at least I'd be able to rest easy on her innocence protecting her from deep emotional pain. At that age, she wouldn't have developed any dreams of her own, there wouldn't be a deep history between you and her (except for that first two years), there wouldn't be knowing that other kids are totally fine and you aren't, her memory wouldn't be fully developed nor her brain (you can't remember thing from when you are 2-3 because the part of your brain that works with long term memory doesn't fully develop yet), etc. It's sad to see all the potential waste away, especailly if she was fine for the first year or so of her life. But I'd be much more devistating knowing that not only was the potential between you an her severed, but her personal dreams were severed, the relationship/history you developed within the past 8-12 years suddenly stops, etc that would happen if she was a lot older and still young enough to be considered a kid/teen. It kinda sounds like I am trivilizaing a little girl getting cancer, which I don't mean to do. I guess what I'm saying that if I was in a similar position, I don't think I'd take it as hard as he did, though still pretty hard... its just something that doesn't happen to young kids.[/QUOTE] So what you're saying is you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and are just spouting ill informed borderline sociopathic nonsense. You see what you have just said makes perfect sense in the absolute most reasonable and logical sense, but it isn't true. The bond with your own children doesn't grow stronger over time, it's there. always and irrevocably, parents should never see their children's funerals.

aww [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Ban Evader;37784089]God damn, I've seen this before and I still got a watery eye.

Why can people get it when their like 80 years old instead?

This makes me sad everytime I watch it(seen it before), but his error always makes me feel like I want to laugh and I feel bad. "At the most... six minutes.."

If I was in that audience I would ask for a refund.

Except it was a storytelling show

You don't know what it feels like to have to do that shit. I know it's not the exact same as a 2 year old dying of cancer, but fuck me if the feelings weren't all there. I sympathize with this man.

So many feelings from watching this...

the "at best.... six minutes. Wait- six weeks my bad" kinda broke the mood for me
