No, they are just different.some peoples deaths can be a little bit more sad than othersI never said Jobs' life was worth more, I was actually highlighting the fact that you made a big song and dance about him getting an RIP thread, one of your reasons being (and reasons you and others have stated on other threads) that Steve Jobs' (or anybody's) death is no more sad than anybody elses in the world and that millions die each day. I was just making the point that you seem to feel differently about Whitney Houston (and Gary Speed) in that their deaths, for some reason deserve some recognition (even though millions of other people died on those days)Whitney Houston is something that doesn't matter to me, but when you have people saying that Steve jobs matters more I do take issue.
I started a thread years ago attacking China for their human right issues and nobody cared and suddenly Jobs is God and we should all say so. Utter crap.
The guy was a self interested business man and in turn his own actions hang him. He wasn't very nice.
there was this bird at my school called angela and she was from a rough area of the world and her parents didnt have a lot of money, there was all stories about domestic abuse and stuff like that
at school she was bullied really badly, people constantly calling her names and that. The name she was called the most as i remember was scrubber
i was walking down the road with a friend of mine once and she walked past on the other side of the road and my mate just started abusing her, it was pretty shocking
anyway i recently found out she died of cancer at the age of 17
now thats a sad story, sadder than most, a lot more sad than a rich pop star who lived the high life and had all the things she wanted and just took too many drugs in the end
But your story is very sad.
Death is death no matter what fanfare.
