You have no idea how she was parented....
Probably not the two best parents in the world for sure...
Well, let's review.... her mom was a drunk and a crack head. Her dad is a self absorbed violent thug. We can hazzard a decent guess as to their priorities. Cuz if Whitney's priority had been her daughter, she'd have been clean. And her dad would have blown off his 'performance' and rushed to be with his daughter... that's what parents do... take care of their kids... no matter how old their kids are... and this one is only 18... hardly an age to be equipped to cope with the death of her Mom. She has my sympathy - her parents... not so much.
The 'grief' over her passing is vaguely entertaining though.
You have no idea if Houston was a crack head. In the past, sure. From the sounds of it now, she had an alcohol addiction and prescription drugs for depression etc...
As for the last part - yeah, I love it how every time a celebrity dies conservatives love the "i don't give a shit" response. Don't get me wrong, I don't fall under the spell that their lives are worth more than any other decent human beings, but it always comes across to me as if they resent their success.....
It's a sad, needless tragedy. In her prime she was an exceptionally talented singer and entertainer. She was gorgeous to boot! .....the girl really had it all going for her...
Rumor has it that Elton John will be dedicating "don't let the sun go down on me" to her memory. Classy move

So you wanted them to say all kinds of crappy things about her? It's right to find good things to say about someone who's just passed, to respect the family and understand they are grieving.

You're such a cynic....
BTW, her daughter has come across as an attention seeking brat in her own right.
I feel sorry for Whitney and I do have sympathy for her. Anybody who doesn't is an asshat, and probably a conservative...

So, if you don't have sympathy for Witney Houston you're a conservative? Who would have ever thunk it... I guess this kind of logic is why the liberals are so fucked up.

Since I've been on messageboards when somebody famous dies, 90 percent of the time it is our compassionate conservative friends who don't give a shit. Somebody who makes something of themselves and then dies is not to be admired for their talent. And they are supposed to be outright ridiculed if they die young from any kind of drug- or alcohol-related reason.
It always comes across as resentful, snippy, spiteful and pathetic. I was no fan of Houston - although she had arguable the best voice in the world at one time - but still, you gotta give her her dues IMO...
Would it be offensive or immoral or wrong or icky to start a thread wishing that Bobby Brown was the one who had drowned in his tub, instead?
