Predict when Amy Winehouse dies and win a prize

[mrmcfister]

Drugs and money...dangerous...she is certainly a mess and disappointing her public now.

@ Wayne - no it wouldn't. Nor would it be particularly respectful.

@ Arch Stanton - Why are you so obsessed with bi-polar disorder? Stephen Fry suffers from it but apart from suffering a major attack just before his west end play about 10-11 years ago I haven't heard or read about his imminent demise due to a drug overdose?

Could it not just be the case that people who suddenly have lots of money, sex, success and other accoutrements thrown at them simply take what they're offered?

Or do you have to try and justify everything as bi-polar?

[Arch Stanton]

Bipolar is spectral - from mild to severe. Also there are different varieties of bipolar.

Did you not see Stephen Fry's program "A secret life of a manic depressive" on BBC" a couple of years ago - no ? I rest my case mlud. Stephen Fry did try to kill himself once but not all bipolar sufferers become suicidal but incidence is much higher than non-bipolar sufferers.

Bipolar is interesting because it is so common amongst performers and risk takers.

Actually i am quite expert on many other mental conditions and personality disorders. Take your pick from Aspergers, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (PD), Obsessive-Compulsive PD, OCD, Borderline PD, Histrionic PD, Anti-social PD, Avoidant PD, Schizoid PD. Paranoid PD, Passive-Aggresive behaviour, Dissociative PD, Sadistic PD, Schizotypal, Schizophrenia. The DSM-IV model, Miltons Personality Map

Princess Diana most likely had Borderline PD.

I also stated that I have no idea if Amy Winehouse is bipolar and even though Jimi Hendrix had an album track called "manic depression" there is no evidence that he was bipolar.

Theres some serious lack of humanity going on here.

Are you guys that devoid of compassion for the human condition?

Yes she is in a bad state right now and while some of you maynot like her lets not forget she is a living breathing human being who wasnt always like that.

I actually feel quite sorry for her and even if she was untalented i would feel the same way. i think its such a shame to see people go this way and as for doing a site like that is seriously bad fucking taste.

I can have a sick twisted sense of humour too but I wonder how you would all feel if someone did this to a member of your family?

This is what it boils down to and thats the internet for you.

What next? How many more teenagers will be stabbed before 2008 is out?

[Arch Stanton]

I think it is tasteless as well. Just because I drew it to you guys attention doesnt mean that I approve of it.

[Arch Stanton]

It is a more sophisticated way of analysing someone's character. In works of fiction, people characters are labelled as being aggressive, shy, slimy, domineering etc. It is just more illuminating to use scientific terminology to explain how a person ticks rather as a coherent personality type than just a list of personality traits. It is more complicated than you think as most personality types are spectral - from mild to severe and they overlap with each other and some people can have multiple personality types.

Incidentally I forgot to mention ADHD.

[Arch Stanton]

I forgot to mention that your alter ego Leonard Rossiter was a perfectionist (Obsessive-Compulsive PD) or OCD but not as extreme as Stanley Kubrick who was actually diagnosed with OCD.

Well said Terry.
