But that doesn't give any reason to go on attacking other fellow TPMers because they also have the right to express themselves and have something called "feelings of compassion for human beings".

EDIT: In the same way,we -people who have some kind of compassion for when a human being dies-, do not have any right to attack people who don't give a damn about someone who "wasted her life".

The thing is: let people express themselves and stop the flaming.
Lots of people die.
Sometimes it's tragic (Norway), sometimes it's because you wrote a song about not wanting to get help for your drug problem (Amy Winehouse).

I care about one of these situations. What bugs ME is people acting like it's cold to not care about a celebrity when this exact death happens to people all the time and no one cares because it's not plastered on TV.

Also nice "totally subtle" shot at the end.
"Stop flaming, you cold, heartless monsters who don't feel compassion. I mean us awesome wonderful people shouldn't either."


Also can we stop calling addiction a disease?
It just makes it sound like the addict has zero control over it. People with HIV or Cancer don't go "Well, maybe ONE blind blood injection won't hurt" or "Well, maybe ONE clump of cancerous cells won't hurt". And addicts don't get a call from the doctor at midnight that "I dunno how to tell you this...it's cocaine."

Calling it a disease implies that it was never their choice. And while there are a lot of addicts who realize their mistake too late, all using the word "disease" does is act like the person is some poor soul who just rolled snake-eyes in the genetic craps game. And they all meet literally the exact same end. It's not like they're going anywhere after they die, so it's kind of unfair that they be labeled the exact same way.

And I could see if it was someone who did something, but Amy Winehouse? What did she do? Screech on stage about how awesome drugs are and fall over a lot?
Woo.
Here let me muster up some care.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Here it comes.
Almost...
Nope. Didn't work. Don't care.
