I'm getting so frustrated at all the stuck up people whining about how bad 2016 was.
I mean first off any death is a tragity. But people put so much into these "famous" people and act like the hole world is over. It's a joke. I'm fine with mourning losses but how bout we mourn the losses of soldiers fighting for freedoms. Or young kids sick in countries that can't get the medications they need. Or starving from lack of food, clean drinking water. When will people start using their voices to talk about what actually matters instead of a rich person who gave nothing back and dies of old age. Might be a little cyinical.
Also if it's the worlds worst year for you because an election didn't go your way suck it up butter cup. Bunch of melenial baby's think they have it so bad. Then need to go live under a proper tyrant for a while and see how good they actually have it. Might teach them a bit of humility and respect.
I agree with all you said, but these people did give back, entertainment, laughter and smiles....Sometimes in our own dark moments, they made us crack a smile because what they do....Again, I agree with what your saying. 2016 wasn't so bad.... We're still here...Quote:

I see what your saying. For me personally I think the "value" people put on entertainment is ludacrist. What it costs to go to sports events or movies. It crazy.Quote:

I'll use Donald trump for an example. Ust because the election is so recent. DT runs an empire. He has made millions. But he creates jobs. Gives back to the economy with more then just his own spending power. He puts his money to work by reinvesting it. He also runs charities. That help people who need help.
But ask the "average" person anymore and they will tell you that DT is a crook and an evil person who dosnt add anything of value. Lots would latterly dance and celebrate if he were to die. And I've seen lots of social media post with people saying they wish he had died instead of various other famous people. No matter who someone is. That's a horrible stand point to take.
Now let's compare that to a "tyipical" entertainment celeberty. (I'm not going to single out anyone specifics but ust generalize)
So person stars in a movie or makes music. They become popular more often than not because someone else influential says they are awesome. They contribute entertainment yes. And their own personal spending but that's it. Very view invest to grow or better the countries that make them rich very few give back other than slapping their name n some cause and more often then not that cause is a poorly researched Holier than thou project that makes them act like they are better than those who don't agree with said cause. So many seem to be out to get as much money for as little work then so many piss that money away on booze drugs or traveling the world and accomplishing very little.
But the "average" person worships these people. They act like they are saints who can do no wrong, they blindly follow them and everything they say or do ( until the next big in person comes along)
I just wish people would want more for their hard earned money. Or even stop everyone and then tho look at the big picture.
Of course looking back and my earlier post I realize one of my hopes for this year was to be less bitter and cynical of things I cannot control.
Made it a whole ten hours. Lol
