Thank you. That is exactly it.

It is all too common now, remember when Whitney Houston died and the people like this would come out, like "oh my god, you are mourning here, but to the victims of _______ (insert the tragedy of the time here)"

I am like, really? It was just someone would chime in, even if you just said "wow, sad to hear she died" with these long winded rants about how we pay more attention to her than those victims.

I find this behavior sickening.

I am not bothered by people who can show some respect for them, and just say a RIP to them, and say their peace for them. That is one thing. But is quite another to derail a thread like this, just to make people feel like assholes, and pull the "they are people too" card.

So they are NOT people too?

If you feel the need to be "um no, what about the 51 people who died" card in such a provocative way, in my mind, that is pretty weak.

Must have been pretty STRONG since you can't shut up about it.

We can mourn who we like, without having someone come on and try to change it like that.

Ditto.

Hey, I say RIP to those people too, and I think this person is right, unknown people are people too who deserve to be mourned, especially when it comes to a disaster. They deserve it too.

But if you feel the need to be childish and derail it in such a way, and then sit there and be like "oh, people always come down on me and I don't know why.. I am used to it"... what is that saying.

You think you can just say bat shit crazy stuff, and people won't jump in and be like... come on, that is pathetic...

Just say your peace, but don't act like that. It is childish and uncalled for.

If I sound harsh on this person, it is because of that. I mean, come on now...

Low intellect. . .

I agree with what you said and what you're saying here, but telling someone they need to have their meds adjusted isn't apt in my opinion. You don't know this person.

I'm bowing out now until this thread gets back to it's original purpose.

And it is sickening. Heaven forbid we have strong emotional attachment to people who have touched our souls. To even remotely suggest that we don't recognize the tragedy of several other people we aren't mourning out of personal affection is just ridiculous. Yes, we get it. Are we as affected, personally? Not exactly, but we do get it.

There was no derailing here until Bastard came on - just stimulating discussion.

It really was. Hopefully no one else dies soon cause deaths of good people always seem to come in threes
