RIP Amy Winehouse

[Shortey]

just cause someone on the other side of the world dies doesnt mean the whole world is gonna stop turning for them and cry
yes its sad and a tragedy but im not crying nor will i for someone who decided to live with drugs
flame me all you want but i still wont cry for her death

When did someone said that everyone should stop what they're doing and start crying for her death? You're changing the story man.
There's this thing that's called sympathy. Look it up.

because she made a couple of records, it was acceptable for her to be the way she was.

Who the hell thought it was acceptable to be a drug addict, just because she was an artist?
People still told her to stop. Don't act like everyone was praising her drug use.

Who would have made a thread about Crackhead Mike, the theiving little git that robbed your house or mugged your nan when he died?

Since when did Amy Winehouse rob anyone's house or grandma?
Oh wait, she didn't.

yes its sad and a tragedy

It most certainly is not a tragedy.

Not all death is considered to be a tragedy. Rather it is a precise set of symptoms surrouding the loss that define it as such.

In this case symptons including, but not limited to Anxiety; irritability; argumentative, Transient panic, Paranoia, Insomnia, Runny nose, Sweating, Yawning, Abdominal cramping, Diarrhea, Dilated pupils, Goose bumps, Nausea, Vomiting do not appear to define it as such.

Yes it is, how many times. Any death is a tragedy

 

[James Ludlow]

Any death is a tragedy

No. Not at all.
Harold Shipman, Bin Laden, Hitler, John Wayne Gacy, Myra Hindley, Peter Sutcliffe to name a few.

Every death is a tragedy, but not every tragedy is important enough to put in the news for multiple days and make threads about on every forum.

I drop a bucket of bleach and ruin my carped, costing me thousands of dollars to repair: Tragedy for me, but not important enough to make a thread about
A dear friend dies: Tragedy, but not important enough to make a thread about
A great cuber dies: Tragedy, Important enough to make a thread about on this site, but not everywhere
A famous person dies: Tragedy, and since on every website, and for every newspaper, there's a number of readers who like that person, (except maybe Glenn Beck, adolf hitler, bin laden, and other evil famous people, but then there would be celebratory threads anyway) it's important enough to post it on those website, and those papers.

Yes, of course. But that has nothing to do with Amy Winehouse, it seems your just writing anything to argue.

Yes, of course. But that has nothing to do with Amy Winehouse, it seems your just writing anything to argue.

It had everything to do with the ongoing debate. And I quote

Any death is a tragedy

to which I responded accordingly.
