They want us to be all caught up and emotional about celebrities to keep the population distracted from real issues that are having an effect on them |

"You Can't, You Won't And You Don't Stop"Lucid Goals: [Ask a DC: "Am I dreaming?"] [Ask a DC: "What are you?"]
Salty, being sad over a celebrity's death is normal. Mourning someone's who's inspired you isn't a conspiracy. The reason any celebrity death is on the news is because it is in fact part of the news. Celebrity deaths sell better, people don't want to hear about children they don't know are dying simply because they don't care, or don't want to see the suffering. News of children starving aren't in the news because it happens everyday, do you realize how even MORE dull and boring the news would be if they announced every single person who died everyday? I don't think you would because you'd call it a conspiracy either way. |

I don't think I'd ever really "truly" "grieve" over a celebrity.... |

If they live in such terrible conditions it's because they didn't work hard enough to improve their conditions. Helping them would mean rewarding their laziness. If they want my sympathy, they need to earn it like Whitney Housten did. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
I grieve when somebody that could have contributed greatly to the world dies. Whitney Houston wasn't that. |

I honestly would care about all the children in 3rd world countries dying if I could do anything about it. |

I wouldn't even grieve for Dylan, though I would give him a proper send-off on facebook and so forth. As for other achievers, I would remember their contribution and give them proper respect for it, but I wouldn't really grieve. I mostly reserve my grief for people in my life that I am attached to like friends and family. And for billionaire capitalists because they've earned it. |

i vote neither. it hard for me to see one persons life as more important then anothers. and i don't see death itself as something negative. |

"Grievance" is a relative term. |

The chance that a child will grow up to do something truly great is probably close to 1 in a million. In all likelihood they will become a plague on the world and the rest of humanity. |

Niether. If I don't know em personally, it doesn't affect me and I wouldn't care a single bit. |
|
Whatever happens~
What reason would I have in grieving for either? Seems like a silly question to me. I will grieve when someone that I love dies, that's about it. |
|
I wouldn't grieve for either. |
