• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Amy Winehouse RIP

AndyG43 said:
As yet the cause of her death is unknown; she had received a visit from her doctor on Friday who said he was happy with her condition; police reports suggest that there were no drugs in the house; so reports saying she died of a heroin overdose, and videos surfacing supposedly showing her on a crack binge on Saturday morning, look to be the usual sort of bilge fed to us by what passes for mass media "journalism" these days. I have just read a very thoughtful & well-balanced article on poor Amy, by Russell Brand of all people. Tim, maybe give it a read, you may reassess your opinion of the poor girl a little.

It has again been a bad few days for "journalists" with all the so-called experts deciding on Friday that the tragic Norwegian bombing & shooting HAD to be the work of an organised Al Qaeda cell (even when they knew the shooter was a blond Norwegian, at which point they decided he must be a convert), and the Sun 'newspaper' in the UK actually using that as their banner headline. We really need to get over our societal obsession with hating & demonised minorities, and the cult of celebrity. There are times I despair. :-(

Andy, I can't agree more!

I'd go along with that 110%.
