exactly how is discussing the circumstances surrounding a celebrities death "not moving on".........nobody is in here crying "blah blah, we miss Kurt, blah blah, he was so loved, blah blah"...........I believe you are the one confused.
Let's see.......you posted about "beating a dead horse"......you posted about "would be better for your mental health"......yep, it's all there. I wasn't confused a bit. You said everything I posted you said.
*snort* Here, let me help you out a little. Two adjectives to describe all of my responses:
Main Entry: fa·ce·tious
Pronunciation: f&-'sE-sh&s
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle French facetieux, from facetie jest, from Latin facetia
Date: 1599
1 : joking or jesting often inappropriately : WAGGISH <just being facetious>

synonym see WITTY
Main Entry: condescending
Function: adjective
Date: 1707
: showing or characterized by condescension : PATRONIZING
- con·de·scend·ing·ly /-'sen-di[ng]-lE/ adverb
And, since I get the impression that you may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, I will also provide you with a definition for 'condescension':
Main Entry: con·de·scen·sion

Function: noun
Etymology: Late Latin condescension-, condescensio, from condescendere

Oh, and another word to further clarify for the especially thick-headed:
Main Entry: hy·per·bo·le
Pronunciation: hI-'p&r-b&-("😉lE
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek hyperbolE excess, hyperbole, hyperbola, from hyperballein to exceed, from hyper- + ballein to throw -- more at DEVIL

: extravagant exaggeration (as "mile-high ice-cream cones"😉
Did you seriously think I thought several of the geniuses on this board were actually grieving over the death of Kurt Cobain? It's okay if you don't like me, but to imply I'm that much of an idiot? Heh, sure thing.

If you did not think they were greiving, why did you post that they need to "move on" to better their mental health? If you in any way thought you were being facetious or condescending......you wern't. I see you took the time to look up the definitions of the words.........now see if you can learn how they are applied in the English language. You did not post one condescending or facetious remark. You simply made the argument that people who post about the events surrounding Kurt's death are beating a dead horse and need to move on with their lives to better their mental health. Perhaps you need to go back to your dictionary and look up different words to adequately define the intentions of your posts.
If you did not catch the condescension or facetiousness, it certainly isn't my problem. I can't be held accountable for your lack of ability to comprehend. Just don't try to tell me what inflections are or are not present in my posts; I hardly think you have the authority to determine that (because, of course, you are not me).
Furthermore, how could I possibly just pull those words out of my ass were I not already well versed in their meanings? I merely used the definitions from webster.com to support my argument.
Let me post this again, because apparently you did not see it, or if you did, you didn't address it. Truly, this is the pith of my last message:

Okay, it has been fun. Now you can continue flaming me if you want, in pathetic attempts to tell me what I was saying, and I'm sure you'll think you'll be winning because I don't respond, but sleep easy knowing that you've just bored me into leaving this thread in all it's pitiable inanity.
Ta ta, darling. Do take care.

Yeah, I think you guys missed the point...I will spell it out for you:HE'S DEAD = GET OVER IT.
Sure, it was a tragedy, but obviously his death will not be investigated, so why don't you just stop beating a dead horse (or, in this case, a dead rock star) and move on? I'm sure it would be better for your mental health, anyway.

well thats bullshit, over her ein england we had princess diana (god rest her sould) she died in 1997 and the case is just opening now
although with the english court system the way it is the killer (if there is one) will probably get a £50 fine and be let go lol
I havent read all this thread, but I have read most of it, and has no-one mentioned the Rome suicide attempt which occured not long before Kurt succeeded in killing himself? There were also a number of times he came close to death, mainly through heroin overdose, but was ressucitated (sic), most of the time by Courtney herself. And its quite well known many of Kurts family had commited suicide in the past. I know suicide is not heriditary, but some cases of mental health are, and the Kurt was extremly depressed I dont think any of us can deny. Basically, I think Kurt killed himself, had been planning it for a long time, and it was probably unavoidable. Hell yeah, its sad that he died. We lost a great artist and inspirational figure. But in my poinion ( and this is only my opinion) many people simply cant believe that such a great man would kill himself, and want some one to blame. But I think that if the case was going to be investigated, it wud have happened by now. The best thing to do would be to remember Kurt for his fantasitic music, and not the darker, sadder part of his life, or death.
The Gun he used is a Remington m-11, 20 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun. Here's the site with more information then you may want.
