Discussion: Why do some people get mad when the GP mourns a celeb?

I was just on YouTube and a ass hat was saying

WoW people are actually crying over a celebrity who killed himself by his own will more than the thousands of Iraqi children killed by the religion of Islam . smh

what's wrong with people mourning a comedian who made thousands of people laugh?

Jet

Because they're stupid

Attitude

They like to think they're better than everyone else because they care about the "real" issues.
It's like when music bigots criticize people for listening to mainstream pop music.

evyonce

They want to be fake differents.

Because it's annoying how the loss of a celebrity gets more attention than actual important **** that's going in the world right now. Hundreds and hundreds of innocent people, young kids, are killed innocently in Palestina for example but people just don't seem to care as much.

ok and? every life being taken by death is sad no matter who is (unless you're a pedophile, and a murderer)

It's not Robin Williams's fault that the GP'd rather mourn his passing than others in Palestina

Also it's really kinda hard for people to be sad about their losses when it happens every day

This is such a stupid mindset. I'll be as quick as I can right now cause this' been bothering me for a while.
We get sad when we create any sort of emotional connection to anything and then we lose it. As harsh as it may sound we don't have a strong emotional connection to those people in Palestina/Africa etc. Robin Williams was a huge part of so many people's childhoods on this site. He was televised and whether you admit it or not it created a connection.

Why do so many of us stan for popstars? Why do we get upset if they're not doing okay? Why aren't you doing something much more productive with your life like helping those children in africa instead of being on a pop culture oriented forum discussing your fave's latest efforts? Because you care about your fave more than you do about those who're not a part of your life on a daily basis....

People are allowed to grieve for whomever they want. Stop being pricks.

Telling people when to and when not to grieve is tacky.
