RIP Liz Taylor

[katmai]

C'mon guys, Slargy is just jealous cause he knows no one will be this sad when he dies.

[Caliga]

Speak for yourself.

[katmai]

Speak for yourself.

Pfft everyone know you are a fucking weirdo.

[CountDeMoney]

Evidently they can. And I can't pass up the opportunity to rail against this type of nonsense.

She was famous.  That makes it news.

I could see attacking this thread in response to some histrionic Martinusism, but of your own accord?  You'd best come correct in here.

It may make it news, but it doesn't make it sad. Getting all bent out of shape because some random famous woman dies is ridiculous.

Take your own advice.

lol, Who's Afraid of Slargos Wolfe?

It could be sad.

What do you mean, take my own advice?

About coming correct. 

I stand by my opinion. If you're sad because a person you've seen on TV dies, there's something fundamentally wrong with you. If you pretend to be sad because it's what you're supposed to do, there's something fundamentally wrong with society and you're a fucking conformist prick.

And by "you" I mean "all y'all", not you specifically. I don't think you personally possess emotion. 

[Ed Anger]

If I knew a simple RIP thread would throw Slarg into more conniption fits, I'd do more RIP threads.

This is retarded. While I think that crying after Lady D the way you would cry after your mother is fucked up, our civilization's very concept of humanitas is based on the assumption that we care for people we never met.

Actors and actresses touch our lives and cause people to exhibit emotional responses.  That's what makes pop culture popular.  Now, I realize that might be a concept you have some difficulty with, as your native land has no culture to speak of.  Rest assured that things are different inside the Anglosphere.

Humanitas?  We must be in different civilizations.  Thank heaven.

Slarg is mad that Prussian Blue hasn't produced a new album in years.

Rest assured, I have no trouble accepting the concept that the anglosphere has such a conflicted relationship with empathy that they need to create emotional attachments to characters on a TV-screen instead of real people. Have we perhaps found the reason why there's so much internal violence in your culture where the Scandinavian culture has always been relatively internally peaceful until the advent of multiculturalism?

If you had any sort of sense you would be too.

Scandinavian culture hasn't really been so peaceful, at least in a historical sense.  Still, I suppose that pursuing a policy of isolationism did give Scandinavia time to do some nation-building.

Remember though, that I'm from the wealthiest, most peaceful part of the Anglosphere.  'Internal violence' is for places with ethnic minorities.

Isn't that those two tonedeaf blonde girls?
