Some people just can't wait to tell you how much they don't care, it's almost funny.
People are saying Winehouse made the choice to take drugs so deserves no sympathy if they led to her death yet a smoker makes the same choice to smoke but i don't remember reading such sickening comments over Patrick Swayze's sad death.
Another sad reason some people say they've no sympathy, some claim to actually be pleased, that she's dead is that she was a burden on society. This is simply ridiculous. With her riches do people honestly think she wasn't paying for private healthcare? And what about the milions of smokers that cost the NHS upto ú5bil/year?
They have a right to their opinion of course and i'm not trying to silence any of them but they have to accept that they're hypocrites if they condemn someone for an addiction to one drug but not someone else for an addiction to another.
I think the hypocrisy is fairly evident.

Maybe, yet they're not talking about the illegality of taking them they're talking about the addiction and the "choice" to take them.

I never commented on what they were talking about, I only said they feel justified in what they say. Though no one will never know how another persons mind works.
I didn't mean to suggest you did.

i fail to see why this one women who could sing a bit should get more press coverage than a solider who died in afganistan or a boy that was falls from a tree.
Because she was a celebrity and the world loves celebrities.
Not at all. It's because we hear about them. A celebrity's disasters are so public nowadays. Pictures of AW on her door step smoking, looking frail due to her addiction sold for thousands of pounds to newspapers and magazines because of the voyeuristic public taking a sick delight in feeling morally superior.
We like to think we love celebrities but we only love to hate them and watch them fall from grace. Whether that's down to jealousy or not, i don't know, but many of them will take smug satisfaction from it nonetheless. It's quite sick really. |

Because Winehouse contributed to a better world as opposed to the soldierdying for the american oil empire in the middle east.
I bet you don't think you should apologise for this. |

Just listened to Back To Black, a good tune that will age well, reminded me of Nancy Sinatras Bang Bang.
