    What makes someone rich and famous more important than someone else's life?


    There are hundreds of people painfully dying from cancer, starvation, and thirst. Every day. And we hear that it's been 3 years since (insert famous person) has died from being a drug addict. Why can't people acknowledge everyone's life, not just famous lives?

    ask media
    not a minecraft forums


    we acknowledge the famous people because those people go by the term "famous" which means "known by many people".
    the people who are not under this category, are not "known by many people" which means they are not "famous" thus we can not acknowledge the things we do not know

    Honestly, there's a lot of devotion and care to the unpopular people in this world who are dying too. There are many charities and funds all around the world, saving billions for those who aren't "famous". There are lots of celebrities dying because of drug addiction and what not, but where are the charities? Nowhere, because these people are filthy rich and everyone knows that.

    The media would be a better place to ask this question.

    This world
    This decade particularly
    Is a big fail made by itself, I mean look at people, they get fame from stuff they do for others that has no good on them, they just want to make others know them in the cost of thier life, and everything else
    The media isn't a place to ask, it's full of lies.

    There's another piece to this, however. Ever notice that the person who killed a lot of people usually gets way more recognition and popularity than the people they killed, or the person/people who tried to take them down (and possibly succeeded), or the person/people who tried to save the ones being killed? As well as that, if someone murders a celebrity or just a famous person in whole, they instantly receive popularity. I don't want to know this shithead that destroyed part of society.

    For example: Germanwings Flight 9525. The crash that killed all 150 passengers and crew members on March 24. If you didn't know, the copilot just decided to commit suicide. Because society were to busy reporting the menace who killed these innocent people, very few people (including me) were able to learn that the pilot tried to save the passengers and fight the plane, but failed (this amazing man is Captain Patrick Sondenheimer). But I had to research his name. If I hadn't then I would have no idea who he would be. I also have very limited knowledge about the passengers. But Andreas Lubitz? He was all over the news.

    They are just as important but how should I know that someone died if I don't know them? Plus some dies like ever 10 seconds so it's hard to remember EVERYONE
