How could the police know they were kissing?The story just doesn't make sense/add up.
What? People were watching them make out/kiss, and then didn't help them?Who would admit to such a thing?Could there have been foul play?On another note, everyone handles death differently.That said, if my wife and I were kissing at 2am on a rooftop and fell to our deaths, I'd hope our friends and family would all be able to share a laugh along with us.Life is tragic, but...
More than a bit insensitive to speculate alcohol was involved.How about waiting for the facts?Some could just as easily speculate it was a "suicide" pact, which, like the alcohol card, has no basis in truth.
Eye witnesses, plural?There was more than one person watching them make out/kiss at 2am?Again, that simply sounds bizarre.Can someone explain?
Are you trying to be a smart a$$?They are dead, but you want to paint them as "drunk and foolish" without knowing the truth.
I could be misreading things, but it strikes me as more than a little inappropriate to accuse them of exercising poor judgement, when we don't know the facts and they can't defend themselves.Users attacked the OP for the title, but what is being thrown around is far worse.
Another GFM...I'm a broken record on this issue, but please get insurance.Passing the hat is all well and good, but this is beyond ridiculous when we all know we are going to die.
Twinsauras, sorry, but I totally disagree with you.When I traveled all around Europe at twenty-four, I didn't leave home without travel insurance. Most don't.What person in their right mind would?It cost pennies a day.Granted, we didn't have GFM back then, when the Internet was in its infancy.I have no doubt that I am out of touch with you Millennials, but is paying pennies a day so others don't have to pander really that unrealistic?When personal responsibility and the like are out, the hand soon follows.That said, it's wonderful to see CBHL coming together and kicking in.I hope they require/provide all of their members supplemental insurance for their league, as most of their injuries aren't going to be covered by the national plan here.
Twin,I get it, which is why I said it was great CBHL are coming together.Not sure if you are being daft or what regarding insurance, but you get the insurance you need.If you are an expat foreign resident, guess what? You can get insurance for that and it's pennies a day.If you play rugby, while working here, you'd be an absolute fool to not get additional coverage for your recreation.I'm advocating for people to protect themselves, and you think it's a stretch?Is bareback back in?
I know, right?The nerve of that guy to advocate for people to get supplemental insurance for less than 1,000 KRW per day.You'd think he gets a commission from the insurance companies by how often he mentions it.Pecan=no class.
Internet forums are filled with people with "tact"...Regardless, it doesn't change the facts.

I'll bite.Yes, apparently so.Nothing is going to bring those folks back. I feel for the loss for their family and friends.Like it or not, life goes on.For those that are here today, I hope their untimely deaths can serve as a reminder of how fragile life is.If you don't want to get insured, then don't, but hopefully some will "get it".Personal responsibility isn't for everyone.
That's excellent!Thanks for sharing.
plan b,Have you always been this lacking in self-awareness?Show some class and use some tact.

Here are the progression of my EXACT comments in the thread of the couple who died:
Quote from: Pecan on September 07, 2017, 01:43:34 pmHere are the progression of my EXACT comments in the thread of the couple who died:Yes. The fact that you repost that to somehow show that you think you said nothing wrong says it all really.

I do not like being displeased. It is not the arguing thread, it's the ranting/venting thread. Make a pointless argument thread. That would be good. In other news I am being kicked out of my classroom now (they are having a meeting in here with parentals), with nowhere to go. So I am truly just standing in a hallway with bags of my shit for English Art class waiting for an opportunity to grab a classroom.YES! Like an argument thread - no rules, always disagree, always debate. It would be like Battle Royale, who will survive? but no hard feelings held outside the thread. I love having a good row sometimes.

Please.Let the words speak for themselves.
I said you were complaining that a dead couple in their 20s didn't have funeral insurance. AS though that a normal thing for anyone under 40/50 to have purchased. All this while a member of one of their families was in the thread.Then you act all "Yes, i'm a caveman hoho. you all need safe spaces".No, you are just a dope.

You might need to reread those posts...Name calling now?Move along...
So we move into a new place that had been occupied by some Korean girls before us. Was pretty okay except there was blood all over the bathroom. No matter how many times I scrubbed, I couldn't get all the bloodstains out. Or the mold. At least there wasn't visible mold in the living areas, though...

However, posters from the "peanut gallery" start chiming in "wish pecan were dead" etc. :)

There used to be one on Expatkorea called 'Fight Club' which worked well.Bring that here and Pennypie would be hitting me with her Daily Mail, while swigging from her Bacardi Breezer and calling me a tawt. I'll just be sitting here drinking ovaltine and waiting for Marks and Sparks to open to 'get me bitz'.
I mean, anybody that construed waygook.org user Pecan's cancer comment as being anything beyond a joke is seriously just looking for something to be upset about.
I love how "is English not your first language?" reigns as the Ultimate Siq Burn around here.
One of the things that irritates me more than almost anything else is people complaining about something, being shown a simple solution, ignoring it, and continuing to complain. It's seriously maddening. People would rather gripe about something than fix it and have nothing to whine about.
