If your best friends son was a pedophile and died , would you attend the funeral or

Question

refuse to go out of principal

Answer 1

I would go out of respect and support for my friend.

Answer 2

I suppose going would depend if you're a hateful, vengeful person who feels offended about a condition that some people have.  Or, if you're a supportive person who realizes that funerals are a time to comfort the grieving.

Personally, I'd go if the mother was a friend of mine.  

Those that only want to spit on the grave, are uncaring, insensitive louts who don't belong.

Answer 3

yes i would go. love the sinner hate the sin

he's an evil scumbag but  i would still go to give support to his parents and family at this time.  despite his crime its his family who need help not him he's dead (good)  

funerals are for the living

Answer 4

Sure I might be able to pick a cute girl!

Answer 5

i would go, even after what he did he is still a person, and you should be their for your friend in their time of grievance/  

Answer 6

I would go to be there to support my friend. I have been to many funerals of people I didn't like, They are dead, they get nothing from the people who attend. It is for the living that we offer our prayers.

Answer 7

I would go. I would be attending a funeral in support of my friend and not the dead person. He was her son and she loved him, regardless of his behaviors. In fact, since he obviously had some problems, she may need a little extra support because of the misery he felt and caused others. My vote is go and hug her silently--no words needed.  

Answer 8

yes, out of respect to my friend, but I have a old fashioned value system.

Answer 9

I'd go...and spit on his grave

Yeah Ricky- why dont you ask the parents or the children whos lives that scumbag ruined? The fact that you could sympathise with such c**p shows what a piece of S**t you are. Sorry, but the innocent comes before the evil. You should feel for the victims, not the predator

No mother is not a predator...and I truly feel sorry for her. I dont know how she handled it, shes a victim of her son as well. I still couldnt bring myself to go tho. Any person who hurts a child is just disgustiing, and funerals are for mourning a death and remembering their life....pedophiles do not deserve that. As much as you may love his mother, things he did in his life atre probably too horrible...my heart goes out to the children first

Answer 10

I would go to that funeral at least to comfort the family. Just because his/her son was a pedophile, doesn't mean that he/she doesn't feel pain that his/her baby is gone. Going to a funeral doesn't mean that you are supporting the decease's views on life. It's just acknowledging that they were a human being.

Granted, I am none too crazy about pedophiles, but going to the funeral is a way of comforting yourself that one less pedophile is on this planet. (sorry that last part was very cruel)

Answer 11

Go and take all your kids with you.

Answer 12

Sorry that you're in a situation like this. But, I would suck it up and go. After all, you're not going to support the pedophile, you're going to support your best friend. It's not a political statement. You wouldn't stop being best friends with him because of his son's actions. Therefore, you should be the best friend and support your friend while he mourns the loss of his son, not the loss of a pedophile. I'm sure he doesn't condone his sons actions, and perhaps may have even some guilt that he is happy his son isn't around to molest more children. Save politics for another day, and give your friend a shoulder to cry on.

Answer 13

You go to a funeral to support the family. The dead person doesn't know you're there. Don't take your kids, just in case.

Answer 14

"it is not the good things we did that follow us to our graves

but the evil we created with our lifes"

my fathers final words

and i belief his life should be honored for the good he did

Answer 15

Go for your friend and support them. You are not condoning the son or his behavior. Funerals are for the living.

Answer 16

it is a personal choice to attend any funeral regardless of what the person is or has done..

Answer 17

Yeh, but only to laff.  

Answer 18

If this person is your best friend, you have no need to ask us.

Best friends are always there for each other.

Be a best friend to them & go to the funeral.

Answer 19

I would go, it be my friend I be going to show some support. It is a bad time for someone to go through when a son dies before them.
