Inspired by the Heath Ledger died thread ? :confused:

Somewhat... it's just funny how there are all of these thread's for celebrities who died, even though people die every day, and for the most part, nobody cares...

So you wouldn't really care if Thurston Moore died, right?

It would be like "Who the fuck cares? It's not like he inspired anyone, or did anything important".

Yes, relativism has its limits.

Shut up, would you?

Why does everybody gets so defensive and aggressive? All I'm saying is that if somebody is a celebrity, their death is more a tragedy to people than somebody who wasn't. Sure, Thurston inspired a lot of people, but Heath Ledger wasn't a huge inspiration. Granted, we all know who he is, so that's why we all would like to know, but when you see people crying on TV about him when they didn't know him any more personally than they did the old lady in the obituary, then it's just rediculous.

Exactly.

I hate this crap. I just started this thread as a joke, and now people are taking it seriously. Everybody, just chiiiiiiill out :)

Torn Curtain 02.08.2008 09:27 AM

That reminds of the death of a musician (don't remember who) that was discussed here and Steve Shelley replied to some cynical answers of the same vein "you guys are cold".

I see your point, there's some truth to it but you conveyed it awkwardly.

afterthefact 02.08.2008 09:47 AM

That's just my style.
