touchy subject

[David Goss]

Just wanting to voice my opinion on something that is in my mind not right.

Lately we have been hearing constantly about winehouse dying, ok its sad and a waste of talent but she wasted it herself.

This on the other hand is almost unheard of...

Afghanistan: Corporal Mark Anthony Palin, UK Soldier Killed In A Blast, Leaves Behind Pregnant Wife | UK News | Sky News

This for me is just not right. i would rather be hearing about this hero than a junkie singer who has done nothing for any of us.

Please give your comments...

RIP Corporal Mark Anthony Palin my thoughts are with his family.

[Sam Thompson]

Yes. And no.

 

 

Junkie singer who has done nothing for any of us.

 

 

How do you know? Music moves mountains for some people.

 

RIP Corporal Mark Anthony Palin my thoughts are with his family.

i want to delete this thread right now tbh, my reasons are the title, it is not a touchy subject, you have slagged off a girl who has just lost her life. You have branded her ' junkie ' and you didn't have the decency to call he by her first name.

So what is your actual arguement here?

Go on then steve. Hit that big red button.

That's media hype for you.

 

It doesn't mean that one life is worth more than another, or one death is more tragic or devastating than another. It just means that in our fame obsessed world, the death of a celeb' on the front page of a newspaper will sell more copies than yet another soldier dying in an unnecessary and unwinable war.

Go on then steve. Hit that big red button.

 

no no Paul, the man wants to debate, lets debate.

Whilst the passing of Amy Winehouse is tragic for her family and friends, I think it was inevitable and not a tremendous professional waste.

 

However, I might just have missed it, but there isn't a single thread of condolence for the nearly 100 people who lost their lives to the religious fundamentalist gunman in Norway.

so was this person a drug addict or not
