Paul Walker from 2 Fast 2 Furious has died

I am going to a local car meet at the end of December and there have been comments about a 1 minute silence or 1 minute of noise (not sure Tesco will appreciate that though).

I shall buy some shares in Dunlop.

Why do people post about people they don't know, not related to, WTF.

It's "Grief-Lite". It got bigged up when Princess Diana died. Outpourings of all kinds of emotions and anger.

WTF happened to the stiff upper lip....RIP

One should also judge a person on what they have done in their life. As a person of wealth he was not a normal celeb but one who give millions and did loads for charity to improve the lives of people who were no where near the same position he was in. He was traveling to an event for charity that day. A bad event and the world is lesser for it. He was known world wide which is why he made international news. The Glasgow event for example is more of a national example of news.

I apologise if I'm misreading this, but you seem to be suggesting that Paul Walker's death is more significant because he was rich and famous, rather than a mere Weedgie enjoying a pint.

And do you genuinely believe that the world is "lesser" because the man is dead?

Probably get more money from K&N. No screeching of tyres though, police are welcome to attend.

Nah it's because he's now a lot shorter.

Who knows? Everyone's doing it with Nelson Mandela now

Pretty unpleasant thread this.

 

[Silver Fox]

Nobody's doing that. I'm grateful that only the two people using public roads as their own personal racetrack died.

The driver was the one speeding not Walker.

Walker was the one who made money by making dangerous driving look cool.

He did movies. It's not real
If someone does plane crash films and dies in a plane crash does that mean he deserves it.

 

[glenn forger]

What, films where they repeatedly crash planes? Can't see them getting to six sequels.

9 people died on friday night in a pub in Glasgow. Whilst it has hit the headlines here, I doubt if it even made a single episode of the evening news stateside.

An American friend of mine in New York tells me the helicopter crash was well covered in US media. Indeed, it prompted her to write to me about it.

Couldn't we just carry on making out that that all Americans are insular and really thick anyway?
