Oh yeah--the thought of a parent yearning for a missing or dead child, or a child for a parent--I can't stand it.

That's 655 points taking the non-popular opinion on issues. My honesty, openness, wit and humor keeps 'em coming back for more.

Not really - with 4,000+ posts if you were really that well liked you'd have at least a 1000 rep points

I can't say that I ever cried over a celebrity's death. Nope. Not that I didn't feel sad for their families and for nostalgic reasons....But, no. I remember being in middle school when Kurt Cobain died and the halls were lined with sobbing students. I honestly had no idea who he was then...

I take the unpopular stance on most issues I post about. That keeps the count down. I notice that people who have the higher numbers tend to take the popular stance.

No, this was a hairstyle worn by Aaliyah in the 90's.

I've also felt really saddened by public figures deaths who weren't celebrities like Lacy Peterson. When they finally found what was left of her body, it really hurt me.

I cried when they found the bodies of Lacy Peterson and her unborn child.

Not celebrities, but I cried when the mother and young daughter had to leave a message on the answering machine telling her husband the plane was hijacked and they weren't coming back.

It hit one of the Twin Towers.

Ah, but do you rep back to people that rep you?

I think I'm guilty of repping you today.. you said something in one of the posts that was good.
