R.I.P. Thread

I don't know who it is, but my buddies on 8wayrun love this person. So I thank you Amy for making fans on here enjoy your music. I'm no fan, but I'm compassionate and compelled to say something. Excuse my intrusion.
 
RIP to Amy, and all those who were killed in Norway in the terror attacks. Shitty situation there especially.
 
Amy Winehouse dead. Very sad but i'm not surprised.

I'm much more shocked by that christian terrorist from Noorway. What a psycho.

I find it a little wrong that people are finding Amy Winehouse's death more important than the massacre of over 90 people in Oslo

everyone is entitled to an opinion. i don't think that anybody is saying her death was "more important" than anything. the incident in oslo, while very sad and tragic, is more of an international news headline than a specific event to discuss in a thread such as this. in one hand we have an entire group of innocent people dead for no reason and in the other we have a one in a million singer/songwriter dead for no reason. neither one outweighs the other. the winehouse death has simply gotten more media coverage in america because the loss of her more personally effects more americans. i am sure the popular sentiment in norway is not the same.

that said, this thread is not the place for political banter. it is not the place to disrespect the life of one person over another, or many in this case. you can leave condolences for one or the other or both, and discuss their lives and how this impacts you or has effected your own life, but you cannot belittle the deceased for any reason...especially not for a "competing" death. if you wish to discuss anything besides the recently deceased, take it elsewhere.

the world has suffered a tragic loss of life in both of these instances...is it too hard to just respect that fact?

thread cleaned.
