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.

You and DrPhil are missing the point. The only reason I said anything is because you and others decided to give 2 posters crap for not agreeing that her death is a big deal.
I posted my original response because honestly it is not for you or DrPhil or anyone else to give posters crap for their beliefs. That is what is happening.
I'm sorry that you don't like that I am defending peoples opinions who happen to differ from yours.
As I said, yes the death of a 27 year old is a big deal, but I personally find more things important (like the stuff you listed).
This is a public forum. Not everyone on Greekchat is going to care that she died and they have the RIGHT to come onto this thread and say so.
This is not the first and it most certainly will not be the last thread on greekchat where people have different opinions. And again, because it is a public forum they have a right to their opinions and to post them.
