R.I.P. Whitney Houston

Don't understand all the sarcasm sincerely...nowadays when someone deads there is a shitload of sarcasm, don't know why...maybe just because someone needs to draw some visibility.
Ok a little bit of sense of humor is ok.... but she was a fuckin' awesome vocalist. period. She had lot of problems, she probably got something inevitable if you live in that way.
Anyway I didn't see all this sense of humor for Ronnie James Dio, Chuck Schuldiner, Cliff Burton etc..... so be a little serious because you're acting like a bunch of assholes.
And I'm not a big fan of Whitney but her voice was incredible.
Respect

Respect

Dio = stomach cancer
Chuck = brain cancer
Cliff = bus accident

Whitney = crack head

some big differences there chief

don't ask me to care or empathize about whitney. I'm not gonna pretend like my day has been any worse since I found out
 
Jim Morrison: drugs (idol)
Hendrix : drugs (idol)
REV: drugs (idol)
Michael Jackson was a fuckin' freak but he was awesome in music
ecc ecc ecc..
Those were only examples of course....at the ground what lacks is some respect for a death. Period.
I know she did drugs and she get what she searched at the end (like Amy Whinehouse)... she was also punched by Bobby for 10 years..not the best life I suppose.
Anyway I don't pretend that people cries for her...just a little respect for the death of a great singer, just like every other artist you like..... I'm only tired to see everytime someone deads, a storm of comments/posts hyronizing about a man/woman death...just for some "+1"/"I like"/"clap clap"
 
I know guys enough of the drug talk, I heard Whitney conked it in the bathtub so she was definitely clean when she died.
 
right because cliff burton or dimebag never did drugs or abuse their bodies and put them in danger... you can't really compare deaths as far as who deserves it more or not.

someone still died, you don't have to empathize or cry, or even agree with their lifestyle, but a little respect would be nice.

Their deaths had nothing to do with drug abuse. Cliff died in a bus accident, Dimebag was shot.


Pending a toxicology report, I'm going to say that cocaine is a helluva drug.
 
Guys, she's dead, she couldn't care less whether I disrespect her by cracking a few jokes. The only people that this would even directly disrespect would be your sensibilities - in which case that's your problem, not hers.

didn't say anyone deserved anything more than anyone else ... YOU said that because thats how you want to take it. I was simply pointing out that drawing comparisons between whitney and those mentioned was pretty fucking thin at best

are you related to Whitney? Are you personally grieving and find my lack of compassion offensive?

Shove your over inflated sense of morality up your ass dude

She has a family, she has fans (not me).

It's nice (and cool) to be a good person and being a good person includes respecting other peoples lives and feelings.

Cracking jokes about someones death would be slightly less bad taste if it were someone generally accepted as "evil", for example Usama Ibn Laden or Adolf Hitler, but not a normal person who never hurt anyone except herself.

Remember that your future child can fall into an addiction too, then you will be just like Whitneys mother who (from what i read on the web yesterday) desperately tried to help her, but failed.

You think that you can disrespect her because killing yourself with narcotics is dumb.

Wrong thinking.

What is dumb is using them for your first time, then it becomes a war between your strenth of will and the biochemistry of the drug.

If you look at drug addicts you will most often see weak, fragile, emotional people who need help to continue to live in this fucked up world.

Is it their fault that they are weak, fragile and emotional ?

Is it really OK to laugh at their weakness ?

Can they choose to become someone else when no one is there to help them ?

It is mostly about their lack of resistance against that physical pain that comes when they try to lay off the drug plus general lack of emotional resistance against living in this world.

Emotionally weak people literally cry every time they realise that for example right now somewhere on this planet an innocent child gets ripped to shreds in a car accident or is being raped and abused (i know such an emotional person and she is a great person, but she needs my support to not to fall into that hell - maybe Whitney didn't get enough of that type of support).

What about me ? Why am i so strong ???

I went through a healthy dose of physical pain even in my childhood, it made me strong, any less of that and it would not have that positive effect on my character, any more pain and it could break and destroy me.

Yes i feel bad when i think about all the bad things that happen in my life and all around me, but i have that great ability to turn off thinking about all that fucked up shit.

Every human being is different because we all experience different things in life.

So don't judge if you don't know all the facts from someones life or even better don't judge at all.

Fuck that "this person was a drug addict so she deserved to die" shit.
 
My friend put it quite well yesterday - when a smack-head dies in your area and it's in the news everyone goes "fuck'em", they're instantaneously a "junkie-scumbag" and a "good riddance". So it seems all you have to do to is sing a few songs and have a career in the public eye for a bit before you turn into a smack-head and hey presto - grace and sympathy prevails.

I mean, there's no need to be sanctimonious about it, sure, you can't get on your high horse just because you don't smoke crack, but I think a lot of the public disgrace and joking about these fallen stars is partly a disappointment and an anger at the fact that they had a talent, and had opportunities that other people perhaps wouldn't have had. To watch them wreck themselves and subsequently die can really piss people off.
 
Yesterday there was (on all terrestrial channels) a ten minute headline news piece on the death of Whitney Houston, whilst the events in Syria were consigned to the end of the program(s).
Are people on here cracking out the violins for all those Syrians who had much less control over their death than a rich drug addict? No.

And btw it's not a case of "she was a drug addict so we should laugh", I just take issue with people saying that she should be respected, what for?
Obviously as a person I would respect her enough not to go and piss on her grave or shout abuse at her parents, I know how to behave.
