Unpopular opinions

I'll be honest, I'm pretty desensitized by celebrity deaths. If it were someone I knew personally, it would be a much different story. PSH was a fantastic actor, but his death doesn't surprise me or elicit any emotional response from me. The culture in the US that obsesses over celebrities and worships them is beyond my understanding.
-
It's the same everywhere dude, all I'm reading for the last 24 hours is what a sad loss PSH is because of his immense talent…..so fucking what!
Does his immense talent cure disease? Preserve natural resources? Advance mankind scientifically? Someone tell me why I should care that a heroin addict worth millions of $'s is dead? Heroin addicts with no money die in my town every week and every time I hear about one I punch the air in delight.

Yeh that was a bit of release of my frustration at all the outpouring of false grief, it really creeps me out.

vine after dark is awesome.
it's disturbing sometimes. . . but hey variety is the spice, hahahahahaha
i'm a conflicted soul. i think women should be respected but i love to objectify them & can not say in polite conversations some of the things i do/have done.
guess my curse is having a daughter
*god i'm full of sh!t

My point being that good and great people are lost to us every day and are mostly unlamented other than by their nearest and dearest. My father raised me single handedly after watching my mother die slowly, he then spent the remainder of his life dedicating himself to fulfilling the death bed promise of looking after my grandmother. He worked 2 jobs and kept house and did it all with dignity and never a bad word for anyone.
I could only wish to be half the man my father was, he was a great man in my eyes. I will not outpour false grief for an entertainer.

& mental illness is great, it sponsors some of the best stories ever told & written (will not name any to make you think about it cause it's fun).
all these drugs to make people "normal" f^ck that keep them crazy, when i was a kid every three people i knew had at least one crazy relative living with them that the family "managed" by locking in the room in the back of the house, giving them all kinds of junk food, &/or letting them watch basic cable.

Unchained Melody by the Everly Brothers is one of the worst songs ever recorded.

Swayze was cool. And just as a random fact- he grew up in the neighborhood where I now live.
-
how can you mention patrick & not mention demi or whoopie? is that how u spell whoopie?
oh & Mega just read your post (reply 1320) & have to say you are one of the most "complete" internet people i've "known" from your "quirks" to your "dislikes & backstory/history"
it actually creeps me out when i start thinking about the things i know about you, hahahahaha
i hate people who use " "'s & i think corporal punishment should be used for everything

It's seems a bit harsh to celebrate a death due to a victimless crime. If you've ever seen addiction work its dark magic on a loved one it's difficult to be so dismissive and hard hearted about it. Particularly if you're a fan of rock and roll or jazz with all the wasted promise in those fields it seems an odd take.
I also think it's presumptuous to assume folks are "false mourning" someone. Who knows what's going though someone else's head but they? I for one have not said anything about the guy's death and I agree about being desensitized to such things. I even got a little annoyed with all the stuff in my news feed. But I never assumed my friends were saying these things to be cool. I assumed they were sad that someone whom they admired is now gone.

DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL
counsel i'm not mad & i'm glad it was discussed in camera, hahahahahaha

Get used to this avatar. I committed to using it until 2015…
Oh, and the deletions were because you give good advice, madman.

Live where I live and you cannot call drug abuse/ addiction victimless. From this mornings local news alone….
-
26 year old woman attacked for the contents of her handbag in an area known as a junkie hang out.
-
Body found in abandoned garage known as a junkie hangout.
-
Playground closed for refurbishment due to repeated complaints about syringes being found.
My love of rock n roll does not and never has equated to condoning, glorifying or even sympathising with drug addiction. Drugs are a choice, not a random disease I have taken them myself and I was a fucking idiot.
And the amount of people pouring out their hearts on social media about the death PSH.....I'm pretty sure that they weren't all touched by his genius, I'm pretty sure some if not most of them were getting a ghoulish pleasure from jumping all over the celebrity death bandwagon.
Apologies if presuming someones motives is something I do, I guess I'm human and not some all knowing morally perfect, erudite super being. Must try harder

Jor-El & Larra Lor-Van would approve

Live where I live and you cannot call drug abuse/ addiction victimless.
Sure you can. Blaming drug abuse for that mugging is like blaming poverty for a liquor store robbery, or libido for prostitution. Related, but distinct.
I'm guessing PSH didn't mug anyone to support his habit, who was his victim?
Not condoning or even excusing drug use, I just disagree with celebrating the destruction it creates. (I certainly didn't cheer when Layne Staley died…) Perhaps that's an unpopular opinion.
Here's another: as long as you aren't infringing on someone else's freedoms, do what thou wilt. Personal agency, autonomy, and sovereignty grant us the right to make both good and bad personal decisions and to bear the consequences of those choices.
Anyway, I'll ignore his insult and offer that I think Chris may have meant the Righteous and not the Everly Brothers.
