Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I just read an article in the local newspaper today that some couple started a charity for children who lose their parents or parent. Whitney found out about this when on tour near Cleveland and gave them a check for $5000.00, because she said that was a great idea. Her love of good causes was monumental. Too bad she didn't listen to people around her who I'm sure were telling her to slow down with the drugs and alcohol. She was a truly generous person.

Chicken Rustler, SASS #26680 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I guess there's some people here that didn't like her very much and don't care that she's gone, but I can't figure out why you felt the need to post anything at all. If you were passing by a church during a funeral would you stick your head in and say "No big loss!"? She wasn't just a singer, and she wasn't just a drug user, but I doubt if anybody here knew her well enough to know anything else about her, and I really don't think anybody who took this time to remember her music was actually trying to encourage drugs or destructive behavior. And I don't think anybody would accuse you of promoting drugs if you just respectfully let this conversation pass you by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we don't all have ths same thoughts that you do about a druggie, but we are still allowed to express em, or do we have to get your permission first? When a person begins down the path of self-destruction and does not stop, who else do they have to blame but themselves for their demise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - you are allowed to post 'em - since your signature used to say 'Jacka%% by choice' who would expect anything different from you.

It would be nice if addiction were only a matter of free will. But alas, it's much more complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then, I'll just assume you didn't understand a single word I wrote. but we are still allowed to express em, or do we have to get your permission first? Of course you're allowed, I'm just saying why would you? In a situation like this, why would you say anything no matter how true it is if it's just gonna make you look disrespectful and mean-spirited? That's just my opinion though, I could be way off.
