Amy was one of my favorites so I'm really upset about this. I see the OMG HOW CAN YOU CARE ABOUT THIS CRACKHEAD WHEN PEOPLE ARE DYING IN NORWAY is not confined to my facebook feed. The ridiculous thing is that one of the people who said it is completely obsessed with Chris Cornell (who I would argue is about on the same fame level as Amy Winehouse, if not less) and posts about him constantly.
And SigmaChiGuy, by your stupid logic, there should have been no funerals or mourning for any individual (famous or non) for the 10 years we were in combat in Vietnam, as an average of 50 American soldiers DIED. EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. And guess what? Most of them (unlike the current fighting force) didn't CHOOSE to be in the military. They were DRAFTED.
At any rate...rest in peace Amy, and thank you for what you gave us while you were here...it was better than most of the shit around today.

As LambdaChindaGuy and SigmaChiGuy are being flamed for not giving a shit that Amy Whinehouse died, I'm sure I'll get flamed as well.
Not a fan of her music. Personally think there are other artists more talented than her. Saw her death coming a mile away considering the last 3+ years she has been in the news for her drug addiction.
Quite honestly I agree with SigmaChiGuy, its truly not that big of a fucking deal.
Bring on the flames, because obviously people don't know how to respect other peoples opinions and that OMG they might be different from theirs. shocker!

Congrats on also being an idiot. You think you have the right to reduce someone's life and death to not being a big fucking deal so those who disagree with you have a right to call you idiots. And that's being polite.
The best way to show that you don't give a shit and have better things to think about than someone's death is to not reply. Even saying their death is no huge shock is more humane than saying it is not a big fucking deal.

I'm replying because you're one of the idiots who doesn't know how to respect other peoples opinions. Oh but wait, you pull that crap on other threads so why should this one be any different.

Heaven forbid something happen to you and somebody says your death isn't a big fucking deal. We're talking about the end of somebody's LIFE here and you're trying to make a point about opinions being respected??? What's wrong with you?

Cry me a river. You damn right I don't respect your stupid opinion. I hope your life and death are considered a big enough fucking deal for people to give a damn whether you live or die.

What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?
So because I don't think it is that big of a deal considering what else is GOING ON IN THE WORLD I'm suddenly a bitch?
Yes, it is sad when a 27 year old dies. But no offense to her, she made these choices. She knew her drug addiction would kill her. But seriously, her death will probably be the cover of the next People magazine, not the debt and certainly not what happened in Norway. No a singer who died from using drugs. Seriously, what does that say about the world we live in.

You weren't called a bitch, but if you insist you can be both an idiot and a bitch.

What else is going on in the world is not a thread about the passing of Amy Winehouse. You - and others - chose to come into a thread about somebody's death with the intention of saying it's not a big deal. That's sad.
People magazine is a tabloid-style magazine. I wouldn't look to it for news about the debt, what happened in Norway, or kidnapped-missing-exploited African American children -- all issues which are also very important to me.
We can care about multiple things at once, you know, and you can care about anything you want - but it's unseemly to come into a thread ABOUT SOMEONE'S DEATH and say it's not a big fucking deal. Keep those sorts of opinions to yourself out of respect for the people mourning.

Im not gonna shit on your opinion. that would reduce me to you. However, i never once said that 1 persons death doesnt matter at all. But 1 persons death does not matter enough to make headlines on CNN when 60 innocent children were massacred the day before, when our soldiers die everyday, and when much MUCH more important things are going on in the world, but people like to focus on the pop culture more than the things that actually effect there lives personally. If you a fan, its understandable to be shocked, but i feel like every person on facebook was not a fan of amy winehouse. Its ok though, im a moron, because i care more about current events, than pop culture. That makes sense right?
Although i did just read Sun's comment... and i cant really argue with that
