HOW COME WHENEVER SOMEONE DIES EVERYONE ALWAYS STARTS SAYING WHAT A GREAT PERSON THEY WERE. SOME PEOPLE WERE SCUMBAGS THEIR WHOLE LIFE YET THE MINUTE THEY DIE THEY BECOME A GREAT PERSON..WHAT CRAP..I SAY THAT YOU SHOULD BE SENT OFF AS YOU WERE,,,,A SCUMBAG IF THAT IS HOW YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE.

That used to bug me too.
In highschool this one kid used to beat up tons of people and was a total jerk to everyone (even his so called "friends"!) , but when he got killed in a drunk driving accident.... his own stupid fault.... everyone blabbered about how sweet and kind he was. BS! I say it was Karma.
I talked about this to a few people and it was like they didn't even want to hear me say it.... like all the crap he did to people had just disappeared because the kid died.
I don't complain about it anymore because I have learned that people enjoy living in a fantasy world where A**holes go heaven and they'll all be appreciated when they die no matter how badly they treated people during their lifetime.
It's all a silly fantasy perpetuated by society for it's own sake. I can only just shake my head and be glad that I live my life for the sake of my life.... and not for what might happen after I die.

Because it is customary to not speak ill of the dead.
It doesn't make someone any less of a scumbag, it just means no one is going to keep bringing it up.

People never wee to speak ill of the dead...how would you like that scumbacg to come back and haust you for the rest of your natural life. Speak well and be happy when you do. You never ever have to see that person again.

You do it out of respect for the family and people shouldn't speak ill of the dead---
