Poor Bastard Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 I don't see why I should care. She died just like thousands die every day. Just because I know who she is I should be touched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 That's awfully callous of you. I'm not exactly a fan (though I am aware of her), but I am saddened. Just as I'm saddened by every needless death. ------------------ "Don't f_ck with the Jedi Master, son." --Mark Hamill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Bastard Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Í'm not trying to piss people off or anything, I just don't see why I should be moved by the death of a person I never met. Like I said, thousands die every day, why should I feel bad for her, is she more important than the rest just because she was famous? If I was a fan or had met her personally, I maybe would care, but I don't. Let's say this plane crashes and 8 die, but nobody famous. Everybody would say "Thank God only 8 died.", but since there's a famous person in the middle, suddenly her death is more important than the others.

TheRogue 3000 Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 True, people usually care more about the death of someone publically known over one "common" person. However I believe each death is tragic and should be dealt with a certain level of respect. Please try to do so in such a thread as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Bastard Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I feel that in no way I'm disrespecting her or anything. I'm sure her family is going through a tough moment, and I hope a situation like this doesn't happen to me or or anybody I know(this includes the people here), but I can't say I feel truely sad.

Nitro Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 While I'm saddened by the deaths, what troubles me more, and I hate myself for thinking it, is what's going to happen with the Matrix movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I now what PB means. When a distant realtive dies, that I don't really know (maybe only heard the name a couple times) I'm not sadden by the death, because it was like a stranger died. It is the same here I never heard of her, and her death doesn't make me sad. I think it is tragic and have sympathy for her family but that is all. Although I am anger by the fact, that more people care about her death because she was famous then people who have died in other situations. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis."

Jem Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Originally posted by Flying Beastie: I'm not exactly a fan (though I am aware of her), but I am saddened. Just as I'm saddened by every needless death. This is the exact same way I feel. But surely some of you care for the death of someone famous you've never met or known when he was alive because you enjoyed what he did and respected him for it... I mean I wish that Jimi Hendrix had never died, really althought I only knew him by his songs. Maybe some of you who never heard of Aaliyah will listen to her music a couple of years from now and enjoy it. Afterwords you will regret that their is and will be no more.

Darth Sceltor Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I had never heard of her until today. I'm saddened as far as I should be by the death of a fellow human being, but that's it. I'm sure she left lots of grieving fans, and that's not good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
