Amy Winehouse dies.

That's fine i appreciate that but it's more the people who are on a high horse telling people to get a grip etc

He has a point.All i have heard is that people have also died elsewhere people should be more upset etc. Who are people to tell others who and what they should fell sorry for.

Her lifestyle will determin that people won't have any sympathy and for that i agree but for people to be taking the piss so soon after i find a bit off.

Addiction is so misunderstood i hope half the people on here never have any family members go through it as it seems the poor fucker wont have anyone to turn to judged on half these responses

Lighten up. People die all the time and other people make light of it all the time. I can't express grief or sadness if I don't feel it.

If someone I knew was experiencing something like that, or had a family member or close friend going through it, then of course I would try and support them.

Millions of people die every day, some in tragic circumstances, I can't get upset about all of them.

That's fine i wouldn't expect you to but like i said Steve it's not the jokes it's the people telling others what they should and shouldn't think

Are you telling people to stop telling people what to think ?

That's a fair point, what pisses me off is the attitude of some that somehow expressing condolences for one sad tragedy automatically negates any sympathy for another, as if it's a 'grief competition'.

In other news, The Sun is reporting tonight that a lot of very touching messages have been left on Amy's phone.

BBC News are discussing the death of Amy Winehouse with a sports correspondent who once met her during a holiday.

Scrape that barrell real good BBC.
