How did you feel when Buckwheat was shot?

At first, I thought it was real, because it was broadcast in prime time and they kept flashing 'live'...but they kept playing it over and over...it was hilarious...Eddie Murphy did a great portrayal of the character, Buckwheat.

My initial reaction would depend on how and why she died.  But ultimately, it's just an overwhelming feeling of emptiness, anger, and sadness.  My father died in July 2005, his birthday was yesterday. Although he was sick, his death was sudden and unexpected.  I don't think that you ever really get over it.

I've witnessed a couple murders.  One time, I was on my way to theis really hippy Pennsylvania town, but I was still on the Jersey side of the river.  I saw this man get shot, and he sat there for a while, crying.  He yelled that it burned.  The paramedics came by, but I checked up on him in the news, and he died.  I've seen a lot of horrible things, and I've lived in a lot of horrible places.  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or more animalistic.

This is a personal question, looking for your personal answer/opinion.  Think about it for a minute.  How does it make you feel to hear about the bombing?  Do you feel upset, sad, guilty, angry?  Does it make you think about life any differently?  If so, how?  That's the kind of answer you need to provide for this question.

I had a reaction one time and vomitted.  Repeatedly.  I couldn't even catch my breath, it was really scary-it even affected the blood vessels in my face, so that it looked like I had pin point sized bruises on the sides for about 3 days and my eyes were bright red. Other than that, don't know, sorry.

I felt the same way when I started working at White Hen Pantry. I was all, "Watch out, Donald Trump! Snapessxy is on her way!" I was on my way, alright...on my way to living out of my car for three years after being caught in a ménage à trois with the delivery man and my boss' wife.

Ya I feel that way too, I watched on TV them both blow up the first one I had my two year old kid in front of the tv and said "look honey they are going to space, a couple minutes later she wanted to know why there was fireworks... needless to say I fell apart emotionally when yet another one blew up in front of my eyes, I also saw Regan get shot, the Pope, JFK live on tv! So bad things happened before tv but seems like it really brings things to life.

Yes survived, don't really remember if it hurt.  Stray bullet in Iraq.  It was more of a scary feeling than a painful feeling.  Happy to be alive though.

I was raised in a lot of violence. I once (the only fight I have ever been in) beat up my father. It was the scariest thing I have ever felt, like a blinding rage. Neither of us won, as far as I can tell there is no winning in violence. My brother walked in and stopped me, I was so crazy in that moment that I didn't even know what I was doing. I just knelt down next to him and wept. No victory was won that day, I felt no better, had not gotten even.

Yes!\n\nJust like I feel terrible when I hear about my fellow Americans losing their lives for us, I want to let you know that I feel no different when I watch the BBC news and hear about The British Soldiers losing their lives. \n\nWe should be proud of all of them! Not just The Americans and The British...There are a few other Nations who have their young putting their lives on the line for us too.\n\nIn the 1970's, I served 6 years in The Army Reserve and if I was still young enough to get back in, I would gladly do so! \n\nGod Bless all Soldiers who are putting their lives on the line in order for us to live in safety and security!\n\nI can't believe how a few of the people who answered this are so unfeeling. I guess it's either they have not had anyone in their Family serve in the Military, have not lost a Family member or they just don't give a damn.

Gosh, this is difficult... I promised myself I'd never get involved in giving homework help (because of the reported abuse of internet 'help' happening here in the UK).\n\nHowever, the Cold War is a part of my personal history and I feel duty bound to pass on my experience to a new generation, so here goes...\n\nThe predominant feeling in my family was of uncertainty and sometimes (mobilisation of Warsaw Pact troops on the German border, incursion of Soviet shipping into our territorial waters, the Cuba Crisis etc) downright fear.\n\nMy Dad joined the Territorial Army (TA)(a bit like the US National Guard I suspect), so he'd be trained to do his bit when the 'coldness' went and we were at war again. With the threat of atom bombs there was a sort of sense that any day could be our last, so there was no real feeling of a certain future to save or plan for. The idea of 'what matters is that we are alive today, so let's make the most of that' - was a pretty widespread feeling.\n\nAt the time of the Cuba Crisis I was still at school and in almost all classes there was a radio turned on. We were given instructions where to go, and what to do in case of nuclear missile attack and shown public information films on Nuclear, Biological and Chemical warfare. Perhaps they thought young lads would be excited by the adventure - I was scared out of my wits and couldn't sleep at night...\n\nI guess we also felt helpless here in England. We are closer to Russia (well within striking distance of even their home-based weaponry) and no longer a major player on the world stage. Our future depended on how the Americans responded and I think that bred a sort of resentment, as well as adding to the insecurity.\n\nHow did it affect us? For me personally it had a similar affect to that on my dad. When I was old enough I joined the TA so I'd be ready when the time came. And even when the Cold War was more 'frozen' and the threat seemed less imminent, I still joined the regular Army. As I have already said we didn't bother with savings, house purchase, even saving plans inthose days... we just lived for today and short term goals became more important than perhaps they should have been. I think we were also less inclined to forgive, and more suspicious of people, which may have contributed (along with the stress) to marriage and relationship breakdowns.\n\nSpending went up, not because wages were much higher, but because we wanted to enjoy life while we had the chance and most people were focussed on the 'here and now' in terms of what they ate, how they dressed and so on.\n\nThis is getting far too long, but I hope I've given you some idea of our feelings and what it was like for an ordinary English family to live through the Cold War...

I was so stoned one time; I thought I could not feel pain. I told my brother to hit me in face with a shovel to prove that I was right. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!!!!!\n\n   I was a JACKASS before JACKASSES were paid to be JACKASSES!!!

I feel the same way right now.\nI feel like I am so sad I want to cry but too tired and burned out to bother.\nI just am really starting to hate almost everyone lately.

My father died because he was hit by a car (the driver was drunk) when I was five. I don't remember how I felt at the time it happened and I have no memories of my father which I find very sad. \nAn older sister of mine (I had 5 altogether) died 2 years ago due to complications after a simple operation. She left behind 3little children. \nIt's hard to describe how you feel when someone close to you dies. \nI think the worst for me was facing my sister's children. I know they can still have a happy childhood. I have very happy memories of my own childhood, so I believe they will be OK, but being with these little ones and seeing the pain and sorrow in their little faces, was almost unbearable at times. \nMy sister took a picture of her eldest girl before she died. In the picture my niece is holding a little rabbit and her whole face is brimming with happiness. There is not a trace of sorrow in her eyes. \nA year after my sister died, another picture was taken of my niece. It's hard to believe, that it's the same girl. She is smiling but the sadness in her eyes seems so deep, she looks so hurt and vulnerable, that it just makes me wanna cry every time I look at this picture. \nThe only thought that has been of any comfort to me, was knowing, that both my father and my sister, had a relationship with God.\nI believe they are with Him now and that one day, I will see them again.
