And again you have failed to understand my post.
I wasn't the one comparing Winehouse to Norway.

What really disappoints me about this thread is the way some individuals have come in here and used it as a vehicle for their own self righteousness.
Why on earth people feel the need to express their distaste about the way someone dies is beyond me.
The death of any young individual is a tragedy regardless of it's implications.

I'd appreciate it if future posts in this thread concentrated more on the passing of a talented artist, as opposed to crass comparisons of events elsewhere.
And the merits of who and who shouldn't be mourned more.
Unfortunately, I doubt that'll happen judging by the lack of respect some of the current members display on here these days.
