Amy Winehouse found dead in North London Flat

Was never a fan of her music and I'm pretty much indifferent to her passing, but it's still pretty disheartening to see a 27 year old (celebrity or not) with their lives ahead of them just waste it away like that. Drugs are bad (except marijuana), stay in school kids.Shottayouth13-

I'd say a waste of life, but not disheartening. She lived the way she wanted to live. Her death isn't a tragedy. It's an obviousconsequence of that lifestyle.

Don't hate, JB is a God amongst the Black metal scene

Don't do drugs.

They tried to make her go to rehab, but she said no no no. she ended up, dead, dead, dead. ...not unfortunate at all.FUloin33

i expected this joke, but lol'd

Being a "nerd" wont kill you, being a "junkie" will. This particular junkie had all the means in the world to get help, she even got famous over a song refusing to get help. I only used the term junkie because it was quicker than "severly troubled drug addict".

Artist or woman are just as short as junkie, if you're having trouble spelling out "severely troubled drug addict".

Welcome to club 27 I suppose

The only thing I can say is this. Friday she was a crack addict that only the fans loved. Saturday she was a legend.

Little fake if you ask me. But I'm not gonna lie. I'm going to check out some of her music. She did have a good voice

Except there is a difference between a woman...and a woman who is an addict. She was a junkie. It does describe her. That was her choice.LJS9502_basic

Have some tactfulness.

Girl looked very beautiful before

Why she choose to ruin all that, and ruin her future. She became a ridicule for a lot of people, her life got ruined by drugs, and now girl is dead.

You're taking someone to task for calling her a junkie. If she was...I'm not seeing the problem. I also don't see why someone gets a pass just because they died. They were what they were.LJS9502_basic

It's unnecessarily disrespectful, that's the problem. I'm sure you're incapable of seeing it.

Actually no. Respect is earned....not given. LJS9502_basic

Funny, I usually respect people until they've given me a solid reason not to.

Apparently going by your last post.....you respect everyone unless they give you a reason not to. Your words. Now if that needs clarifying feel free to do so.LJS9502_basic

Correct.

But as I only can form your ideas based on what you post....there doesn't seem to more behind the respect than that they haven't given you a reason not to respect them. Which means respect wouldn't be anything special in that case. Just the opposite of a loss of respect which seems to have more thought behind it TBH. At least it's based on the individual and not a blanket association.LJS9502_basic

There doesn't seem to be more behind the respect given, because I quite clearly haven't elucidated on the reasoning behind it. Just because I haven't given concrete examples of what specifically substantiates the respect I give, doesn't mean there aren't any, that's you simply drawing an assumption.

Now if you do need reasons to respect individuals....(and the second statement is contradicting your first postt)....then you do not respect everyone until they give you a reason not to do so. I'm not assuming anything. I'm reading your posts....so which is it? Do you respect everyone until a reason presents that you don't....or do you have reasons to respect individuals?

Ah no. That is me going by what you posted. The onus is on you to present the reasons if they exist in contradiction to your first post.

I'm asking you which it is. Do you respect everyone until they give you reasons not to do so....or do you have reasons to respect individuals. You do see the contradiction in your words?LJS9502_basic

Why are people assuming she ODed? They didn't even say that was the reason. To my knowledge, she had health problems even before the drugs.MistressMinako

You know, it isn't to often that I am happy when I hear somebody died, but I was really happy when I heared her sorry ass died. She is.....was a really bad role model for kids and I am happy to see her gone.

Ah then you don't just respect everyone until they do something to lose it. So that comes back to what I said. Respect is earned...not given. You now agree with me. K. You just enjoy the dance...no?:PLJS9502_basic

... Alright, you and me, outside, now.

It's the exact opposite for me, except I don't disrespect people, I'm just more totally neutral.

1. I skipped to the last page of this thread
ROFL...worth the read...great exchange

2. On the topic of respect
99.9% of people give others some measure respect without them 'earning it'
-this is seen by the way people treat others in public, how they function in society, etc
-those that do not do this are usually labeled as deviant in some form or another (anti-social disorders for example)

If you do not believe this to be true, then think about how you treat others in public, when you are introduced to someone, how you behave in school/at work, etc
...about all the things you do that you would probably prefer not to do...but do out of...you guessed it...respect

Finally, someone that gets me. Thank you.BiancaDK

i find the contempt and disdain displayed here incredibly unnecessary. regardless of her choices, she was still a human being; regarding her as a 'junkie' and dismissing her death is extremely disrespectful and quite honestly, pathetic. this isn't the time to judge, but to celebrate her accomplishments. the crude jokes are pathetically bad, by the way.
