Amy Winehouse dead at 27

[ASUADPi]

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.

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.

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

I guess I'm a moron right with you.

I find great humor in you pretending that you are not shitting on something in this thread. It's the classic example of people who start shit but then pretend that they didn't start shit.

It doesn't matter whether people who express sympathy are fans of Amy Winehouse. You are all over the place over a topic that you claim to find insignificant. You care enough about Amy Winehouse to still be in this thread. Go find some CNN headlines to concern yourself with.

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?

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.

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.

Show me where I did that.

WTF happened in this thread? DrPhil and Sen are awesome.

Also I defriended someone on facebook over his response of "one less crack whore in the world." I'm not particularly a fan of her music, but it is tragic nonetheless.
