Being somewhat of a feminist, I still think that violence against women needs to be an issue that isn't scandal based but more moral outrage is necessary!

Being somewhat of a feminist, I still think that violence against women needs to be an issue that isn't scandal based but more moral outrage is necessary!
the reason why i believe in no death penalty is because a very high % of those killed are innocent. killing a person would require a 100% guarantee of guilt, cuz death is final, but all legal systems are far from perfect...
Perhaps this is what I should do with my (ex)girlfriend, who I caught sleeping with my best friend.
In all seriousness, what a sad, sad, story.

Stupid comparison.
The teens you are referring to volunteered and died doing their jobs, many of them knew this was a possibility. This poor girl didn't ask to be murdered, dismembered and grilled. Both cases are tragic, but not in anywhere near the same way.
I'm really surprised how many people feel comfortable making jokes about this when the croc hunter or anna nicole smith died the slightest joke was instantly flamed. Do we only respect dead celebrities? A normal girl just living her life dies and this is funny? I'm not a college girl from texas, but I find it much easier to emphasize for this person than a guy who tormented animals for a living and finally got killed by one, or a woman whose life of porn and drugs ended in an overdose. Not that all death isn't tragic, but if anything is going to break your heart I think this should.
stupid, eh? im glad you are so opinionated. however, defining tragedy is somewhat subjective and dependant on one's interpretation. but let's get official.
the official definition of tragedy is: a lamentable, dreadful, or fatal event or affair; calamity; disaster: the tragedy of war.
or: A disastrous event, especially one involving distressing loss or injury to life: an expedition that ended in tragedy, with all hands lost at sea. (do you think seaman consider the possibility of death on a boat in the middle of a sea?)
and stupid defined: 1. lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull.
2. characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness; foolish; senseless: a stupid question.
3. tediously dull, esp. due to lack of meaning or sense; inane; pointless: a stupid party.
4. annoying or irritating; troublesome: Turn off that stupid radio.
5. in a state of stupor; stupefied: stupid from fatigue.
6. Slang. excellent; terrific.
thus, a lamentable loss of life is considered tragic, no matter what the circumstances preceeding and contributing to the disastrous event. and my comparison is not stupid, according to the definition.
so before you start using words you don't understand, i would pick up a dictionary and learn the meanings, before criticizing others for using the right interpretation.
HAHAHA, sorry, you lost me with this statement. Weren't you the one who was all gung-ho on russian mail order brides and trashing american women because they expect too much (won't date you) and such? feminist indeed!
This is a very sad story. Some people find humor in this? Just goes to show how desensitized we've become, which is another sad story.
Yes, give the guy a fair trial, everyone deserves a fair trial.
A tragedy is a tragedy. Stop trying to argue about which one is "more tragic."
No, we shouldn't just care about celebrities. Personally, I couldn't care less about the life of a celebrity unless they were doing something good with their fame, which brings me to:
The Crocodile Hunter was not "tormenting" animals. You claim to get angry at people making fun of a death and then mock a man who helped the world out a lot and then passed away.

Huge all around guys and girls?
Sad, yes, but am I going to lose sleep over this? No, I can't, if I didn't I'd be constantly crying , there just to much death pain.
Thats why we are desensitized, we hear about death daily, it a natural part of life(although cooking someone isn't)

At least with the people making jokes about it, they are releasing their emotion in a far less dangerous direction than those that let strong anger fester.
Sort of worry more about the angry asses more than the jokesters, since the angry men are likely to go out and lynch this bastard.
Strong anger isn't alway the best or safest emotion, especially if it can lead to more criminal charges.
Sometimes you can either try to laugh about it, or go out and try to kill someone.
Truly one of the sickest stories I have ever heard.
We still have the electric chair.

I guess you were in such a hurry to break out your Webster's and start copypasting definitions (as though that demonstrates intelligence), that you overlooked the last sentence of my post. So I'll repeat it for the reading-impaired...
Both cases are tragic, but not in anywhere near the same way.
Did you get it that time? Hope so.
By the way, your comparison was, and is still, characterized by mental dullness. It was also quite inane.
