Just wondering as I'm anticipating a new thread to be started any second.
If you don't know them why should u REALLY care?

Because they impact on people's lives in a bigger way than many people they know intimately?
Same way as people cry when someone dies in a film or book.
What's more strange is people's attachment to the dead body of people who have died. I find that a lot more irrational, but that's probably just me.

But do they really? Come on Dan people must lead really sad lonely lives if that is the case? Then again that may be the reason  |

I find it difficult to care about things that have no impact on me. I'm not proud of it and often think I should feel bad about this or that but rarely do. I've always been the same and often have to pretend in social situations so people don't think I'm dead inside.
I wonder if other people are the same as me and at times I'm pretending to care to another person that's also pretending.

I'm somewhat staggered that Sky News are using footage of 'Staying Alive' in the Robin Gibb tribute piece.

I'm with you mate, its interesting, but as harsh as it sounds I shrug my shoulders and don't really care. I've had several people that mean something to me me die, when I think about it I don't REEEEEAALY care about random famous people. I would honestly care far more about a regular poster on here I had never met than a celeb. |

Think there's something quite human about caring for someone's loss.

I doubt most people really get emotional/upset when a celebrity dies. marking their contribution to society with an 'RIP' is just a mark of respect really I think. If I've enjoyed someone's films/music/whatever or can recognise that they've made a positive contribution and they're someone I've heard of, then why not?
