pale_simplicity managed to state to comments that annoy the heck out me. I mean, stuff I've heard a million times before and I'm getting kind of sick of hearing them.

One, famous people aren't allowed to be miserable. WTF? Fame and fortune doesn't make you happy, and you don't suddenly stop being a human being because your name is in the headlines.

Two, the serious hate for people who die because of drug overdoses or suicide. Things of that nature. Really, there's no need for it. I don't expect anyone to cry for days and days, but these people have problems. They're not thinking normally, and they don't reach conclusions most of us see as obvious or logical.

It's also disgusting to see so many people say the baby is better off without her mother. Even if she's not the best, she's still her mother for God's sake.

Okay, I've said my peace, as I've commented about childfree before. It is a silly place. :P

	And, added to the fact, there's no telling the kind of mother she's been since her son's death because grief can do funky things to people. They don't live in the house with her. Her daughter shouldn't have to pay the price of her mother's decisions (or, rather, what we know of them by the skewed tabloid market). Just my opinion though. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Two, the serious hate for people who die because of drug overdoses or suicide. Oh, that one makes me frothy with rage too. My dad and I have even had a showdown about that one, and it wasn't pretty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I've been in an argument or two about it. As I said, I don't expect everyone to break down and cry, and I know anger is a stage of grief. It's just that some people just go overboard with the pure hate, especially when they didn't even know the person. :/

I even had an English teacher getting really, really nasty when talking about it with her class. She made people who commit suicide sound like a bank robber who'd just shot an old woman in the face, and ran over her dog while trying to hunt down a child to rape on the way to the hide out to do some crack.

(And now the results are out that there were no drugs in her system anyway.)

	Read that as "overdoses of suicide"... Yeah, I know. Sorry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm trying to imagine how that would be possible now. Nothing witty is coming to mind, sadly. (Reply to this)(Parent)
