[dot.haukes]

I have the opposite opinion to you slinky.

[paraffin]

Excellent observation, slinky!!

[slinkycat]

what dot, that a pop star matters more than people who give their lives for what they believe in?

[dot.haukes]

that it is necessary to be so thoughtless as to try to ridicule the feelings of people on here who actually are upset that Michael Jackson is dead. too many abers tonight have taken the opportunity to show a very very mean and thoughtless side of themselves. When you dismiss people's feelings like you have by saying 'who cares about 1' you are trying to belittle people's shock and emotional reaction. Why would you feel it was necessary?

But in the scheme of things...the 'natural' death of a celebrity -tho sad...does not compare to the slaughter of innocent folk.

If I thought that anyone here on CB actually knew him and would be genuinely upset by the loss of a close friend or relative, then fair enough, but lets be honest, the celeb culture is getting out of hand

You being fascetious -a death is a death and what it does for me is reminds me of my losses -it goes far deeper than a celeb death being highlightted if you took the time to think it through.

O btw -im now worried I wont reach 51 -as 50 now seems to be a Jonah age.And i dont jest !!!!

Im seriously worried -ive outlived my ex husband by 3mths so far so I am really keeping my fingers crossed and obv i dont jest as we have children together !!
