But, now that I understand where you are coming from, I understand your opinion.
Just one more comment.......tell me those same sentiments when you are 40 with kids, .......then you may feel somewhat differently.....
Good luck to you......and by the way....Happy Birthday......last month....and welcome to YT with your new little puppy......you will find a lot of nice people here that will be willing to help you 24/7.  |
I'm only 23 and I feel the same as you, Saleswman. My brother too just turned 18... but he still felt bad about this situation. And he's a guy - guys generally have less emotion about this stuff. He didn't make fun of her like some people here have.

Sorry ladies, for disagreeing with yalls beliefs, and upsetting you by being an individual. hah |
Yes death is inevitable - but a little girl now has to grow up without a mommy. A man just lost the love of his life. Anna's family now has a void where Anna Nicole once was. I personally don't find that humorous. It's incredibly sad.
Dwelling in the past does bring sorrow... but no one is dwelling in the past here. We've expressed our sympathy for her family not bashing Anna Nicole Smith and speculating on her ODing. You're young... you'll grow more empathetic as you mature through the years. Some of us just gain that empathy at a younger age than others. I've been through very traumatic situations similar to you, but they didn't give me a heart of stone.
Like Saleswman said... if someone were to show you this thread in 25 years, you would respond differently...
Happy belated birthday, and welcome to YT!
