Some Rich Socialite Dies

[nailit]

and everybody is R.I.P.ing
Anybodys death is sad (especially when so young) but why the grief?
More people have died under the Conservative government's 'austerity' measurements. Don't see many people R.I.P ing for the starving, homeless victims of the government, but some rich girl dies and everyone is in grief??
Beats me!

> why many fellow citizens wail and cry

Perpetuating this lie in order to continue to make a case. Nobody is grieving, wailing or crying. In this most recent example, a well-known woman died young and people posted a simple RIP. People do this for many reasons, for example because they have personally known a woman who died young, perhaps in similar circumstances. It isn't all about the deceased, it's partly about the people who are posting.

> the shallowness shown by so many of our compatriots

Just plain nasty. Why not live and let live? People posting on RIP threads do no harm to you. The fact that they post there is no indication of their shallowness. You'd need to take into account what they do in their whole lives, of which you know nothing, to be properly judgemental about them.
