swimming and wrecking your body with drugs are two completely different things

Well if blame is going to be placed on a person for dying because of drugs (ie, putting their own lives at risk) then that can apply to all sort of causes of death, can't it?

Really misinformed and vague statement. Which drugs? In what quantities?

Wouldn't make sense anyway for a person to keep away from MDMA because of hearing someone died of a heroin overdose - IF that's what happened...

I said IN MY OPINION, which I stand by. I have had experience with people on drugs and have never seen anything to convince me otherwise.

Drugs in my opinion are dangerous and if this encourages more people to stay away from them then something good will have come from it.

One less smackhead roaming Camden is surely a good thing.

A troubled genius?
No, she was far from a genius. I wouldnt put her up there with the Einsteins and Hawkings of this world. Would you?

Best post in the thread. I will stop reading this now as I notice a distinct lack of jokes.

It's an absolute disgrace that that some people on here are making light of the passing of this troubled genius who was badly in need of help.

Can people not just show their respects and post something nice like R.I.P?

For Christ's sake people get some perspective here, it's not too much to ask, is it? IS IT?

Hardly. What has happened here is a young woman has died of a what I can only assume is a drugs overdose.

Whislt its sad to hear a young life passing away, it doesnt mean people have to instantly like the individual, or instantly change their opinion on their music.

In terms of you speaking of perspective, the death of young woman overdosing on drugs, to me is little significance to other stuff happening in the world. I guess for me personally more so considering I didnt find her music entertaining or enjoyable and found the whole onsomble around here a circus.

I can see this turning into another instance of that irish model that OD'd on coke and died, and all of a sudden we are supposed to open our hearts for sympathy and appreciate the individual ....

Realisticly what should happen is that people who have no interest dont post but sure its boards that rubbish, and post like the above would always go away unchallenged.

And also in terms of perspective, I'd ask some perspective be taken in terms of the individual that has died. Being labelled " the best talent in the past ten years" and naming her in the same line as Hendrix, Cobain and Morrison, is fishing for thanks imo.....

As someone also mentioned, its poor that this topic will now dominate the news for the next few days and other, more drastic and impacting news will be cut short....

But as someone also mentioned here, the world is more interested in celebrity culture so I guess I'll just have to flick channels : /

Pretty strong statement to make. What exactly is an 'achievement' in life?

This is one of the best troll jobs I've ever seen. Bravo.

Thank you, my friend. I made a special effort to come out from under my bridge after hearing this tragic news and seeing this super thread.

Now I'm reading some people are going so far as advocating the use of drugs?

Shish! Don't start me on drugs! That really makes my blood boil.
(Yawn)

Another great talent joins the 27 club. very sad news

So who's keeping the score?
Who's winning at the moment, the "27 club" posts or the tired "Rehab" joke.
They both must have been posted at least ten times.

You've asked for a joke thread like four times, there isn't one. Go to sickipedia for that shi, or better yet grow up

Very sad but also not very surprising.

The single 'Rehab' has to be one of the most ironic things in modern music - the very thing she needed to do was the thing she refused point blank to do.

My sympathies goes to her father & family.




Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison & Kurt Cobain are the 'major members of the 27 Club

Aww I love dead celebrity jokes, even for people I liked (Ryan Dunn).

I don't have access to it so I'm not entirely sure, but I believe Nein 11 is the place for this kind of humour.

Im not heartless, far from it.
Nearly 100 people died in Norway yesterday, 11 died in a train crash in China today. Those people deserve sympathy, RIP threads and news coverage. Sadly, id wager a decent sum of money that there will be a tiny mention of the Chinese train crash on the news tonight whereas Amy Winehouse will get at least 10 minutes of people saying she was a "troubled genius"

i agree totally, those people deserve more coverage and sympathy than amy junkie winehouse. not a bit surprised she is dead.

Bloody hell, it's certainly not a slow news day today, with the world's worst recorded killing spree, train crash in China, and now a celebrity death. Probably more that I don't even know about.

Did Miriam O'Callaghan break the news first?

What has opinion got to do with it? Drugs are either dangerous or they're not - it's a fact or it isn't. The fact is: some drugs are, some drugs aren't - and there are variables to take into consideration: e.g. the quantity, and the health of the person taking the drug. I'm not advocating drug use, but I don't see the point in posting fallacies. It's irrelevant when a heroin overdose is something very few drug-takers, will engage in anyway.

What I want to know is how Keith is coping under the pressure of a dead celeb thread, his first! Will he buckle or rise to the challenge?
