This is what really bothers me. We celebrate the life of someone who couldn't control their own stupidity. Instead of 'celebrating' her life we should be using these scenarios as object lessons for our children. No matter how talented, how famous or how much money one has... they're never able to outrun their stupidity.
Pictures of a dead rock star who choked on their own vomit or drowned in a bath tub would probably be far more effective on youth than any other campaign on the dangers of drugs.
If there is a heaven and a hell, I hope she's got beachfront property on the 'Lake of Fire'. Based on the talent and the luck she squandered in this life she deserves no less. YMMV.
Why all the hate.
Inspite of all her faults, could you at least respect the family who are grieving for their lost child.
My God, people can't even respect each other even in death.
Btw, I know that she wasn't perfect and she had demons, and believe it or not, I never care for her music. But I'm still going to respect this woman's life.
Not necessarily pointed at you, but how I feel in general...
People throw the word "tragedy" so carelessly that the word loses it's power. Two children bludgeoned with an ax then burned to death by a demented parent is a tragedy. A famous person with a drug abuse problem who drowned to death because of said problem doesn't deserve adulation from the masses. She hit the proverbial lottery and squandered it away because of poor choices and a lack of self-control.
She deserves to be a poster child for stupidity in its purest form.
I will not "celebrate" the life of a drug addict. One who had the means to fight addiction and seemingly refused to do so. I will hold her as an object lesson for my kids on what effect poor choices will have on one's life. YMMV.
