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!

First of all, it simply isn't true that most of the world is mourning more over the death of Winehouse, than the loss of all those young people in Norway.
Just reading this thread and a modicum of common sense should tell you that much.
Secondly, the tabloid newspapers do not reflect what most people in Britain actually think. To believe that as true is plainly idiotic.
I don't believe you believe that either, which makes me wonder why you even pointed it out in the first place.
Thirdly, you say you know some people who claim not to care about what happens outside of England.
Well I don't know where you come from, but it isn't the case where I live.
I can only think you have some pretty shallow friends, friend.
Fourthly, are you fuc
king serious?
Your comparison in your previous post showed an incredible lack of respect for the Norwegian tragedy and the death of a troubled human being.
To play one off against the other was, to put it frankly, obnoxious.
We have two threads. This one and the Norway thread.
If you want to express your sympathy for Norway, then post in that one without speaking ill of the dead and being judgemental in this one!
