The world we live in

[California]

I go on FB and Twitter to find people making jokes about nelson mandela's death.

But they were posting RIP to Paul walker earlier this week.

Paul Walker was a great actor, but didn't do shit for society. When he died everyone was all sad and shit.

Nelson mandela lived 27 YEARS in jail, became president and changed lives and when he dies gets made fun. That's disgusting
.

EDIT: Paul walker did donate and make a foundation for under-privileged people

 

[Simple]

I completely agree. This is a fucked up world. He was a great man and icon.

 

[Kids]

Depends who you are friends with on facebook, my friends posted nothing but sad comments.

 

[Nims]

I completely get where you're coming from but Paul Walker did actually do a lot for underprivileged people.

 

[Ghostable]

No one said their good byes to the person with Paul walker who currently was the driver. :/

 

[Nevermind]

Agreed. There are some things that just don't make sense to me.

 

[ginga]

Agreed. I don't understand how anyone was even remotely upset by Paul Walker's death.

I hope you're kidding because he was a person like everybody else.

He had his whole life ahead of him, nobody ever wants to see someone die.

Yes, but if a homeless man dies on the street, no one seems to care. Just because he was relatively famous, people cared.

He also did charity work though, he helped many people, and when he died he was on his way to help people.

I do agree with this statement, but at the same time nobody is even caring about his friend who also died in the accident. We focus on what we know, and don't care about those that are less important.

Think it really depends on the people, everyone on my social media sites were paying their respects. Mandela is a great man and leader, inspiration to everyone.

This is precisely what I meant. I may have worded it wrong since I was upset about what was stated in the original post about Nelson Mandela.

Which is not true generally. It's usually that no one finds out about those instances to express.

Again, dying is truly a sad outcome. Lots of us want to see what will happen next.

What do you mean by this? It's kind of unclear to me.

I am referring to 'what will happen next', in society or the world.

With all of the technologies about to spring. The surface has barely been touched.

I'm confused on what you are referring to, still.

Agreed. I don't understand how anyone was even remotely upset by Paul Walker's death.

Are you kidding me? I mean to start off he is still a person like everyone else but He was an inspiration to young car enthusiasts. I don't see how you could say you can't understand why people were upset. He died after attending a charity event. OBVIOUSLY he cared among the underprivileged people.

You should go look at my recent posts. I worded that post quite horribly.

Most comedy resides in the twilight of human emotion and morality. Comedians essentially only endeavor in this dark zone for their oeuvre. Listen to any standup comedian if you doubt me. We perceive the desensitization of grim concepts through humor joyous. It can even lower your burden of sorrow depending on your perception of the matter. I conceive jokes about one's death as fine long as they're in a just context. Besides, most famous people laugh at jokes in the appropriate context made at themselves; they most likely wouldn't mind the jokes about their death.

He's famous, he's going to be made of fun regardless of if it's deserving or how grand his accomplishments are. That's simply a fact you have to accept.

Agreed. I don't understand how anyone was even remotely upset by Paul Walker's death.

Look at when Michael Jackson died. In consequence of his demise, some of his fans spiraled into a state of depression, and some even retaliated by killing themselves. In contrast, it makes perfect sense people would be upset of Paul Walker's death.

Word, that guy was seen as a prophet to most.
Surprised someone actually knows about him on this forum.
Kudos man, respect.
