I just do not buy the garbage some celebrities will tell the press and in turn the press thinks we are interested in that garbage,.
For instance :Gene Simmons on suicide:"“My mother was in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. I don’t want to hear f**k all about ‘the world is a harsh place.’ She gets up every day, smells the roses and loves life,” he said. “And for a putz, 20-year-old kid to say ‘I’m depressed, I live in Seattle,’ f**k you then kill yourself.”
Later he apologized..................Yes, I know he has freedom of speech..............
I have the freedom to be disgusted with this kind of response to depression.
Joan Rivers will be missed and adored by millions.
She was very funny but the cut throat personal attacks were not what I liked about her comedy so I
stopped watching.
"She also got into her fair share of trouble. In the summer of 2012, the Anti-Defamation League rapped Rivers for comparing retailer giant Costco to Nazi Germany. What prompted her outburst? The decision by a Costco in suburban Los Angeles not to carry her book “I Hate Everything… Starting with Me.”
She and the ADL were at loggerheads again the following February, when Rivers said of Heidi Klum’s Oscars outfit: “The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens.”
I do not think this is funny. Not at all.
And it did not end there :

Joan Rivers: Palestinians deserve to die, they started this war
The controversial comedian gives her opinion on the conflict in Gaza, showing little sympathy for the civilian casualties.
Later she said it was taken out of context.
I know : Freedom of speech!
Then I read about a wonderful (?) Christian pastor who responded to an old couple, desperate people, they could not tithe and could not make it so they wrote to him, telling him they had asked the Lord for help and none came.....it was a sad letter.
His respond: something like "You could get a job answering phones, look around your house for junk and sell on eBay and more suggestions ....to a couple in their 80's !!!!
How very charitable.
I am just letting go of frustrations today , this is a very mixed up world ......
Freedom of speech.
Have we become so hard?

We read and hear these things you describe every day and feel we cannot tolerate anymore, but we do not say a word...the way you are giving a condensed account of evil and thoughtless people voicing spiteful and nasty things...this should be printed for all to see. I would love it, if you copied and pasted this as your statement, in Facebook.Yes, I do believe the human race has become hard, de-humanised even,but am not sure what to call such people.
We cannot compare them to animals, since I firmly believe that animals would not speak or act in that way
Freedom of speech-yes...but who sanctions this kind of "freedom" to hurt ??
Thank you, Angela, I just had to write down my frustration, so sad that this was needed for me. I had some Giraldo quotes too but by the end of my rant I was exhausted and so upset that we have become so cold and we tolerate it too.Freedom of speech is very costly.
