And soldiers?

They have never done these things for soldiers, so far as I know, and I don't think they should start. The military already handles honors for soldiers who have died.

And then there is the football player (whatever his name was cause I don't follow sports) who was found dead along with his 20 year old twinkie on the side...who had a wife and four kids and oh he's such a wonderful man who was loved by all.

I agree. This world has gone cuckoo. Our ethics and morals have been seriously borked. Michael will have a nice, televised memorial of epic proportion that I've only ever seen Princess Diana have.

Perhaps the world is only trying to focus on the celebrity as a means to divert their thoughts from what is truly wrong in the world today.

I didn't even know the football player.. Honestly don't know any of em. More into Boxing/UFC than anything else.. As for not focusing on what's wrong in the world won't help a bit.. A lot of people say their scared to turn on the news but in my opinion more people should watch it so they know what is happening in the world and can possibly do their part to correct it.

I just turn off the tv, or watch children shows with my kids. I can't stand the press, and what is supposed to be news!!!!

chicky tocks, agree 100%!

There is something wrong with people today. AS far as I'm concerned MJ can rot in a whole somewhere and noone except his loony followers need to be present to mourn. AS far as McNair, I feel terrible for his wife bc from what I understand she didnt even know about the gf. And here's the crazy jealous 20 yr old obsessive gf that goes all posessive and stuff (cuz you know buying her a nice car isnt enough?!) and shoots him when she knew all along he was a married family man. wth? yes yes...*shakes head slowly...* this world is a sad sad place.
