Ok better luck with the song the next celebrity death that I actually care 'bout!
I have met HLJ but not HL. I know I care that Heath Ledger died, and I am sure I would care if HLJ died. Does that make things any more confusing for anyone?

Well caser...his initial question was about people you have never met vs. people you have never met....(dying) and why is one more important than the other.

I care that Hitler is dead. (I prefer it) Never met him. Yes I do care if people I do not know personally are dead or not.

Because I care.

I don't think you are confusing caser. I think HLJ is trying snuff out "celebrity hype" when people really are disappointed. I think he was an awesome actor and will be disappointed to not see him in new films.

I have always liked Jack Nicholson and will disappointed when he kicks the bucket too. He's getting old.

I wish Susan Sontag and Hannah Arendt were alive too though...so I'm not the best to speak to about these things.

that's why people are disappointed when celebs die. it's selfish. they will not be entertaining us anymore. it's kind of cold to think of it that way....but really....it's the truth.

I am with you. I liked the Heath Ledger that I have seen acting out characters on a screen. A limited view of who he probably was as a person, but I liked it, nonetheless. All of us limit the amount of ourselves that we present to the world.
