why is everyone talking about death all of sudden?

if anyone wants to start a thread about death from now on, it should only be about the band death.

What can I say? This is the winter of my discontent :)

it's called Seasonal Affective Disorder

Don't tell me to shut up. You're on a chat forumn. You should expect people to have different views. You're certainly asking for it when you start a thread like this.

I think it's pretty ignorant to say that Heath Ledger was not inspirational to anyone. Maybe not to you.

Trust me, I'm not trying to defend him because I'm a fan. I didn't even see Brokeback Mountain.

So, when someone starts a thread entitled "My Mom Died Yesterday", would you tell them to shut up because no one knew there mom? And yes, I know that is stretching it...

It might seem ridiculous and completely unexpected that people mention a well-known person's death, but we discuss and crtique personal achievements by these people, so ultimately, we will be discussing the death of such people as well. It's unavoidable.

If Mrs. Elizabeth Bennet Rachel Drew had done something worth discussing, we might be arguing over the relevence of mentioning her death on the board, and you probably would have the same opinion, were she a "famous person".

da-aaamn...

EDIT: I'll be here when he gets back...

Wilson Pickett...pantophobia started that thread.

The only celebrity death that made me cry was Charles Schulz in 2000
because when I was a young girl and just learning to read, Peanuts strip
collections were the first books I remember just devouring. From age 4 on,
Peanuts was huge in my life, from books to the paper to TV to toys. I never
met Schulz but his death (to me) was liking losing a sage uncle.

i cried when sid vicious died, even though i wasn't even alive then. but i think that's why i was crying when i came out of my mom.
