Whitney Houston What Do You Think?
- Thread starter whitedust
- Start date
Flying the flag at half mask,just don,t think thats right.I thought that was for heros.Kinda takes away some of that special meaning.Just laughed at the explanation from the Governor.Just another example of the lack of respect this country has come to know and accept.Just my 2 cents.
x2 !!!
From my point of view I thought it was best to wait until after the funeral to discusss the topic. BB left after his seating was questioned probabaly did not feel welcome so beter to leave than cause drama.

I just reread thru the posts. I did not mean to take away from her talents as a singer. She was great. I just hate seeing us, as a society, get more worked up over something like this than the thousands of kids who have given their lives for us, and her, to protect our freedom.

I understand but separate issues in my mind 1 has nothing to do with the other. Giving your life for your country is the ulitmate no question but many kids messing with drugs should see & know what can happend when addicted. Everybody going to try drugs sometime but must stay away from Crack, & other addictive drugs or you throw your life in the trash like Whitney. Talent like that is rare but every life has value as well!

Excellent observation......
Great observational topic within a topic, dcsnomo;
In their defense, Clarence Clemons was not a self admitted drug addict and drug abuser and actually founded a non-profit organization helping victims of child abuse and domestic violence called Home Safe. As for Frank, he was a well-known lover of his booze and if quoted correctly.....
“I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.”
but at least he contributed to society a little with his political agenda and contributing to the fight against racism and contributions to many educational avenues; schools, colleges and scholarships.
I can't speak for WH's contributions to society as every time I heard her name in the last 15 years it was synonymous with drugs, crack, alcohol and Bobby Brown.
I wouldn't have a problem with the flag being flown at half staff for either of those two men......WH on the other hand is a stretch IMHO.

And as long as we are asking thoughts on opinions on this topic. What are your feelings on Bill O'Reilly's comments on the WH situation??? And his comments on Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg?
Just a question to keep this topic rolling along. If you're not familiar with what i'm talking about just google it for video.
