I would even consider wanting to die in any of their places. Freddie died of AIDS and was mostly his fault for being a rent boy. And Kurt..well I have little pity for him. He killed himself because he just couldn't handle lifes pressure of being famous. So he isn't an idol..get to the top, then kill yourself.

For me I cherish life and don't want to die, or want anyone I know to die. If someone I do know dies I will be upset. But if some dies like say, Ken Bigley. Then I will feel remourse for his family, but I'm not going to cry for him. It is a sad story , but not one worth crying or being mega upset for...well not for me. Obviously he family will be devastated.

WOW, LOOK MOM! SOMEONE HAS A BRAIN OMG. WHAT A NEW INVENTION.

I really can't say I feel anything for celebs that die. I mean there are so many that if a few got knocked off you wouldn't really notice. Not unless a machine super race came and distroyed them all......err o_0 what am I saying?

There are many stages of care, such as there is for love. I guess the care I said is more like love and I used the wrong words.

It's unlikely that you will ever end up being missed by people who you might respect, but whom know nothing about you (particularly those in the limelight, like your favourite musicians), but if the people who you have grown up close with don't care for your death when you eventually snuff it or don't respect it, you can't have been that popular.

I respect ALOT of people, not only famous people. I respect all of my friends and all of their family. However, if one of them died, I wouldn't be sad, but it wouldn't change my life unless it was one of my very close friends.

As for someone dieing in your place (and that's the only reason you care for them)... Bollocks. Truly caring about someone = death? What trite.

Why yes. If you are willing to die in the place of another, you truely care for them.

AFEW and ALOT aren't words.

You say this ALOT, but only AFEW people go by it. =P.

Yes I am so.

If you really think any more than 6 people actually care about you, you are gravely mistaken. Sure, people would be sad if you died, but besides that, they wouldn't give half a shit after about a month.

Sad isn't it?

No, its an evolutionary response. We can't be so affected by pain as to cease functioning when everyone we have ever had warm feelings towards dies, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do anything. The only reason we care about the death of anyone is if they are critically important to us in our lives (ie: if my girlfriend died, I would probably become a vegetable, or a phsycotic killer).

Whoever said this view was negative obviously is too blinded by optimism to have a good grasp of reality. It was just an observation, one that kind of makes you think, and I'm a big fan of that.

I'm the only member of my family to ever graduate high school, they'd be devastated that my possible mediocre success was stunted by sudden death lol. My girlfriend would be in tears and depressed for a long time. And my fan club would be in ruins...my all one members "Grashir" of Iraq, ahhh Grashir, Grashir, one day you'll get that scud missle you want all so much...

I'm a loner by nature, so no, it doesn't bother me much.

To some extent that is true. I would miss some people for a long long time if they passed away. I don't think I'd ever get over it if Dobio died.
