RIP - Rich Piana - Rushed to Emergency Room - Died 08-25-17

[Taffin]

Cremation would solve the fuck outta this.

There's a quip about toxic fumes there that I've suddenly decided I'm too classy to make... 

[Eric2]

If that was the life he wanted then there should be no sympathy or grieving.

His friends should be celebrating his fulfilled life and all his amazing achievements.

Period.

There will always be grieving and sympathy when one dies young. No matter how someone lived their life, it is always sad when it is cut short. The same can be said for astronauts that die in rockets should they not be grieved. The same could be said for soldiers dying on a dangerous battlefield, the same cohld be said for boxers and mma fighters. Should there be no grief period for anyone who chooses a path in life with high risk?

[Eric2]

I'm certain that he would have wanted that the life he wanted to last a bit longer.

If you live the life you wanted, you'd always want it to last for as long as possible.

The life we want usually last more than 60+ years.

Sure he wanted to live longer, dont we all? The ego and pride however are sometimes stronger than reason.

[Eric2]

You're assuming that, you're not certain of this and you're interjecting your own preferences into the discussion.

Eric2 knows with certainty that Piano lived the life he wanted (period).

That wasn't desperation in Piano's YT videos, that was unremitting effort toward achieving his life goal.

Rich did live the life he chose. Did anyone make him take Pmma, did anyone make him take steroids, did anykne make him cover his body in tatoos, did anyone make him do any of these thing? Its pretty certain to me it was a life choice, no?

How do you decide to like the color red or blue, or not to like them?

Your mom gave me blue balls.............

Nothing against any color, except black

[Sokolsky]

No.

In the TMZ world both McCarver and Piano will be forgotten by tomorrow morning.

The Zyzzzz character's death had 100X the impact on the "sport" than either of the other two did.

I hope McCarver's passing doesn't affect Antoine Valliant's sobriety. Don't know why, but when he posted pics and vids of him and McCarver, that's the first thing I thought about.

[The Scott]

Scott - you may be a prickly fella, but when you're funny, you're funny... if you invented the word 'Schmoeses' then take a bow because it is first class!   

Thanks!  I have no real clue as to whether or not I coined the term "Schmoeses" but it just seemed to fit the moment.  Where Piana is interred will forever be referred to in hushed and reverent tones as the...

"Schmoely of Schmoelies".  I suspect the Illuminati will have his body transferred to either Jerusalem or the Vatican and his thong placed alongside the Shroud of Turin.  It is fit that his apostles waddle like penguins because Nuns dress in the same manner and are often called "penguins"...

'n' sheit.

Did you really just compare soldiers who died in battle in the defense of their country to a drug filled oil bag who scammed high school kids with crap supplements, sold illegal drugs, then blew his heart up with cocaine at 8:00 in the morning?

I thought only space was infinite, obviously stupidity is too.

True, but isn't such faux grief preceded by wailing and the screaming of "He a goot boy!"  He dindu nuffins!"?

 

[JustPlaneJane]

LOL this is insane

Thanks to "his wife" Sara Pianas outburst, she is now even in the Swedish news.

Where was she for Rich during the past months?

Sara Piano should pump the brakes a bit.

Especially if she hasn't met the requirements for becoming a Naturalized U.S. citizen from her marriage to Rich.

I was always under the impression there was a time period (3 years?) the couple had to remain married and live together?

Yes i did, since you are as dumb as a hat full of shit it went right over your head, I am not surprised.

apparently the late lemmy kilmesiter joked that when he died he wanted the pallbearers on one side to be 6 foot plus and the other side to be all midgets

He made us aware that although steroids shrink your testicles, that is okay because it will make your penis look bigger.

Great contribution to the world!!

Now that was funny!

Okay then, go ahead and explain the exact similarities between what soldiers and Piano do on a daily basis.

Or if you want, compare what astronauts have accomplished in their lives with what Piano did.

Here is a hint simpleton, pumping yourself full of steroids and PMMA, promoting yourself on YouTube to avoid having to work a real job, then killing yourself with cocaine is NOT a positive character trait.

I tend to agree with you,
Only in this day and age ( other than the killing himself with cocaine )
He achieved a level of fame & adulation + no doubt a fair amount of $.
That's all that matters to many many people - they care less about soldiers
& astronauts.  Indicative of the State of society & social media today.

So, with two bitten the mighty dust as predicted, what's the 2018 deadpool looks like?.....we seem to have some prophets on getbig here. .....

The point that which you are completly missing is this. You stated that if this was the life that he chose there should be no grieving because he died from it. Now here is my point you missed so pay attention. The same could just as easy be stated for any profession that shares a possibility of ones demise, ie, military personel, astronauts, race car drivers etc etc. Make sense? I was not comparing ones honorable intentions in their chosen profession. So please dont play that hero soldier worship card that people like to throw around. Soldiers are no more herioc than any other man or women walking the earth. The same could also be stated with astronauts, policemen, firemen and emt as well. These professions are just that, a profession. Do not make it out to be more than what it is.
   Another point you are off on is the assumption that i am defending the lifestyle of Rich Piana or his character that which you wish to question.

[ratherbebig]

putting your life on the line for others is heroic.
