you cannot force some one to clean them selves up & quit being a self destructive arse, ultimatley it is down to them & them alone to choose to live a clean life, or keep shoving crap up there noses/in there veins etc.

I personally think that it's a tragedy that a thread on Amy Winehouse's death is growing faster than, and will probably overtake, a thread on the death of many in Oslo, who didn't even bring it on themselves.

Not least because of the number of people like you coming into the thread to say just that! :rolleyes:

Holy crap - a thread was started because someone had died, some came in to say it was a sad waste - others to mock. Get over it.

Only because opinion is split on Amy Winehouse. Everyone agrees that the Oslo stuff is terrible.

There is no league table relating to thread size. Do you think the Oslo thread should be bigger than the online dating thread? :confused:

No you are not, but you jumped into the middle of a discusion regarding decency and the inappropriate things that were being said in the thread, which you appear to defending.

In a way you are being a hypocrite saying the quoted above yet are defending other posters that have quiet frankly made disturbing comments about the death of a young lady.

I think you may wish to reread what I have said regarding Tank's post, which I think you are referring to.

I am of the personal opinion that people are vilifying Tank for no good reason as he is entitled to his opinion as is everyone else, that he has a rather more blunt way of wording than I, doesn't mean that I do not agree with the sentiment he was showing or that I feel that many have overreacted to what he said on the basis of the wording rather than the actual meaning.

That doesn't make me a hypocrite, it simply means I am being honest and will not compromise my integrity lightly especially for someone who in my opinion doesn't deserve my respect or sympathy.

The tragedy of Amy Winehouse is not her death, but her life.

I am not failing to recognise her death, I am refusing to recognise the positive impact she is deemed by some to have had on people in general, and I am refusing to give her the kind of respect and recognition of accomplishment that some seem to think she deserves and I do not.

If I was in a position to save her life, or even to make her final moments in this life a little better then I would have gladly done so, however that doesn't imply that I should respect her more in death than life simply because I am capable of showing humanity and kindness to someone I have little in common with or indeed find rather abhorrent.

Remember I have spent a significant amount of my life attempting to help those that had little or no respect for me and in many cases would have taken my life even as I was saving theirs. I understand empathy, humanity and mercy all to well.

What? and where? no one has a said she deserves respect for what she has acheived etc We were telling others not to be such ***** making innappropriate comments when you decided to jump in and defend them.
 
She was a drug abuser and all of her teenage fans knew it and probably thought it was cool. This is the best thing she could have done for them. Didnt like her music but obviously didnt want her to die.

Ever thought of a career in counselling?
 
@ Castiel

Your bent on believing everybody wants you to show her YOUR respect. No that is not the case and no one is asking you to change your mind.

When you jumped in the comments i was refering to and others were refering to were deleted by the mods aka glad the ***** dead etc. Then you came along and all we were saying summarized - come guys thats not on saying stuff like that. Show some decency a young woman with a family/friends had just died.

Hated her music, didnt see or was aware of any talent, druggie to the hilt, and couldn't even perform halfway into her own tour.

THat...and I dont care, but the really terrible thing...her music will be played non stop for awhile now.

Yup.

But at least then that'll be it.
 
Sad news, RIP

but amusing the BBC pulled this quote from the PMs wife Sarah Brown from their online story:

'Sad sad news of Amy Winehouse - great talent, extraordinary voice, and tragic death, condolences to her family'

and missed out the hyphen between extra and ordinary.

I feel very sorry for her, her family and her friends, but lets not kid ourselves.

Winehouse = self-inflicted death through what is essentially partying
Norwegian kids = gunned down by a psycho while at a summer camp

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I know which I find to be the bigger tragedy. Winehouse accidentally killing herself shouldn't even stir an emotional response in anyone compared to 85 (mostly young) people being massacred for no reason. THAT is tragic. The former is thoroughly deserved.
