SURVEY: If one of your eccentric friends hosts a 30th anniversary party to commemorate the Jonestown Massacre?

and calls it a "Drink Till You Die" party, would you go or boycott it? Why?





In 1980 or 1981, I actually had a friend throw a "Drink Till You Die" party on the anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre. He's now a lawyer in Kansas City, Missouri. I'm just sorry that I didn't keep the matchbooks he gave away with the theme "Drink Till You Die" written on the cover, they were kind of neat.

Well, if he were a friend that I'd known 20 some-odd years, and nobody died from attending any of his parties before, I guess I'd go. A little tacky, but what the hay. I'd liked to have seen those matchbooks...apparently a lot of college students did, and DID.
Reply:Sure, I`d go to the party...hey...party...but I think I would bring my own drink..
Reply:What an offensive question! Not only have you disgraced the Jonestown dead, you have offended their living relatives and friends as well. What a sickening thought......you should be totally ashamed of even wondering on the subject of such a "party"....what kind of twisted individual would think that was funny???? How disgusting!
Reply:I'd go to the party but I would NOT drink the Kool-Aid.
Reply:I echo what Loose Change has said I would only go to pay my respects to all of the misguided dead and find the grave of Jim Jones "and" crap on his grave.
Reply:I can't get past the word "commemorate." I can't square the spirit of the meaning of that word with what happened at Jonestown. No fond memories there. I probably wouldn't go. For that reason. A bit too eccentric.
Reply:It isn't something I would attend. It makes a mockery out of the whole tragic event.


I think your friend has a weird sense of humour in a morbid sort of way.
