Wow. She left behind a baby girl and never did anything to you personally but yeah sure, celebrate that she's dead.

I get that people want to be cool and hate celebrities and the fact that they're all over the place but to even hint at being happy at another person being dead is reprehensible.

There are a lot of people that are dead because of dumb Decisions. And that baby girl will have a better life now that she doesn't have a drug addict mother ''raising'' her.

Probably accidental, I doubt a lot of drug deaths are intentional, there's probably easier ways to do it. When my mom ODed part of me wondered if she did it on purpose but I don't think she would have ODed on coke on purpose, if anything she would have taken a bunch of pills if she was trying to kill herself. If anything, Whitney's body could have just shut down from years of too much abuse, to the point where even a moderate dose could have caused her to go too far under. When they did my mom's autopsy there was a little of everything, nothing to extreme levels, but when the body says "no more" it's lights out.

Nobody should be happy when someone dies but no one should elevate someone's worth just because they had "a gift" either. Especially if they set a poor example in life. As for Whitney's daughter, I think the real best thing would have been for her mom to get her sh*t together for both of their sakes, but some people just don't care about anyone but themselves. That's one of the things that goes hand in hand with drug abuse, it's selfish behavior that begets more selfish behavior.

I'm sure that kid wouldn't agree that not having her mother in her life is awesome. Insulting as all f*ck.

I didn't even like the woman or understand her fame but I'm not going to sit on a high horse and act like the world is a better place and everyone is better for her dying. That's sick.

I'm agreeing with Stryker yet again, though I thought Whitney Houston had a good singing voice. The world isn't a better place when someone kills themselves with their own folly. It's a better place when someone stupid stops being stupid.

Yeah, I don't think anyone should celebrate someone like Whitney being dead. I give exception to evil people like murderers because we don't need people like that in the world anyway. But for Whitney, I'm not glad she's dead. I wish she would've gotten the help she needed. My sister just told us that Bobby Brown isn't allowed at the funeral. I even saw on The Today Show that there's a controversy because there's a flag that's lowered at half mast in her honor.

*Samhain* · 02-16-2012, 01:55 PM

No one is ''celebrating'' Whitney dying. I was speaking of ANS.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-16-2012, 03:21 PM

well hopefully the reports (autopsy/toxicology) come out soon. heard on the news that unlike with MJ it won't take months to find out what did her in

*BubblyShell22* · 02-17-2012, 09:39 AM

Yeah, some are speculating that she possibly had a heart attack.
