 •  Pop music queen Whitney Houston dies aged 48
 •  Cause and location of death unknown
 •  Houston's publicist Karen Foster confirms death

Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.
At her peak, Houston the golden girl of the music industry. From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's best-selling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen.

That's when you become the local crazy cat lady. People will cross the street to escape conversation with you


lol [MOG]
Damn you Beta & Leasha for all the 9gag subliminal FB posts, had to add the 9gag page I now have meme addiction lol =_=

Drugs are often a gateway from the horrific realities many under-privaliged individuals experience everyday. They feel that there's no other way out. Of course, Housten is a completely different case, but to say "you either take drugs or you don't" is a very impractical and ignorant sentiment.
I used the comparison with a fat person for a reason. A fat person is often lazy, and maintains unhealthy dietry habits - something that can be overcome with willpower. Drug addiction is a deeper social problem that cannot be cured by a bit of self-belief.


Lol a middle-class child hey, that is your biggest problem @Pilkingbod you assume, tell me my friend how may families have you seen torn apart, how many friends have you seen die, how many young women turn to prostitution, how many friends and family go to jail and why you ask cos they made a choice to try drugs to say you think that kids think its a way out, i expect that from kids like you, and if you like you say under-privaliged individuals use drugs where do they get the $$$$ for them, sure once you start on some drugs its very hard to get off of them but i have seen way too many make the wrong CHOICE, so unless @Pilkingbod you have seen all this and spent years with people trying help them with this addiction do not assume anything of other people unless you known them and have walked that road [Facepalm]
Your entire paragraph was under the assumption that I had no experience in the matter... and my problem is that I assume?

Okay. We can go back and forth all we like, but if you're seriously questioning where under-privileged people get the money for drugs as a genuine argument, I can safely assume that you have no experience in the matter either, let alone streetsmarts. You're from Adelaide, for christ's sake. You've never seen a beggar? Remote Aboriginal communites, where children as young as 8 get off their head on whatever they can get by any means necessary. Addicted parents (who my mother has worked with a lot of in the past 10 years), who sell off their children's stuff just to satisfy their needs. They don't want to do this shit. They're pressured into it.

Those sorts of people aren't in the position to just say "no", and turning a blind eye to that won't help the deepening social issue any more.

read between the lines my friend, and i live in Adelaide the "greatest" city in Australia but did i say i came from there i spent more than half my life living in Melbourne, yes i do agree about the children and the things i have seen in my job would turn your hair grey, but the point is Whitney Houston is an adult and she choose this life and adults make choices being good and bad but when a child as young as 8 or 10 and are on drugs 90 % of time is because of there low life parents =_=
Adelaide lol
Drugs aren't as simple as "they choose to take them, bad luck", but it's certainly their choice to.
Everyone has a choice in life some choose not to take drugs some do.

But if you die from a overdose my heart doesn't go out to you at all.

Simple dont do drugs. Or you die.


Biggest problem of this thread...

WHY IS THIS picture only being posted now?

MMMKAY!
I was going to but knew it wouldn't take long after the moral debate going on this afternoon, all the rants seem to lead back to his classic quote :P

This thread is on the road to no where.

More importantly, that song "Somebody that I used to know" Gotye, there is a line in it when I swear he says " Collect your Ekans"

*Mind blown*
what does he really say? I'm not googling the lyrics either I'll let you do that for for [Derp]
"Collect your records"

I swear its Ekans though :D

I'm thinking " No dude leave the Ekans, they are friends with Team Rocket!"
