Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Don't know where to begin. Was just informed that one of my best friends' sister was killed last night. Was found in a hotel room with a gun shot wound to the head. Laying next to her was her ex-bf with another gun shot to the head. Fucking terrible. The thing that really irritates me, is that this could have been prevented. The ex-bf was sending her threatening text messages, sitting in his car outside of his window, showing up at her work, and even said that "if I can't be with her, then she will die." She went to the court to get a restraining order, but the judge said there wasn't enough evidence.

I'm not saying that a restraining order would have prevented this, but it couldn't hurt could it? Either way, this is a fucked up world.

That's really sad man....kind of puts sports into perspective.

Thoughts are with her family and everyone that knows her and cared about her, including you Timmy. Very sorry to hear about that.

Nothing I can say will make it better, but for what it's worth I'm really sorry and I will pray for their families.

Man there's tons of lives everyday that aren't meant to be ended that are. I wish you the best of luck..... it sounds horrible but it's really tough when the tragic shit happens to you. Unfortunately I've been on the short-end of the stick too many times already in my young life.

Murder, in the same breathe with suicide, is the most selfish thing ever. Nobody has the right to end someone else life, much less their own. Life is a beautiful thing, and once you let a facet of it poison and spread, it can toil out of control. But if you harness it for what it's worth, put your brain to extremes (think about things mind boggling), love your little fucking hearts out, and wake up and be thankful for each day, that's truly living. It's a damn shame some people are robbed of that liberty everyday. Very sorry Timpicket, will pray for you and her family.

Things like that are never fun to deal with, but in reality, it makes you really put your life and others' that are still with you in a much more thankful perspective. Hang in there bro.

I will never understand why douchebags who decide on killing themselves have to take good people with them.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed


Meat is Murder. Sweet, delicious murder.

It's just a shitty situation. I didn't know her that well, but I am really great friends with her brother and they were pretty close. I can't imagine what he and his family are going through.
