Tasteless remark!

Did it ever cross your mind that the self abuse could have been due to a life of personal and profound unhappiness?
Or do you just think she was having a laugh?
There by the grace of God...
The comparison is there because the world seem to be mourning more over Amy Winehouse dying than 92 innocent people being shot in Norway by some deranged nutcase. Just pick up a tabloid newspaper in the UK and see what the main headline is, it's not the Norway story.

I know some people that have said they don't care what happens outside England. How racist is that? We live in a sad world. There are a lot of statuses on my friends Facebook about her and I can tell you a lot of them don't care she's gone.

She brought it on herself with the drugs and when offered the chance to have rehab she refused or was just simply not committed to it. Her past life is no excuse for taking drugs, it is not the answer to solving her problems clearly and you know what, Winehouse could have easily been having a laugh!
