R.I.P. Paul walker

/Angelo350Z/ · 12-05-2013, 10:40 AM

I've seen a lot of celebrities pass away in my lifetime, including ones that I really idolized as a child. But it's really surprising how Paul Walker's death really upset me. I mean, I was still in denial 2 days after his reported death. I suppose in my mind, he'll always be the face of import tuning.

It's amazing how many people are mourning this "great" celebrity and social media blows up, but when a true man, a true hero, a true difference maker passes, hardly anyone bats an eye.

RIP Nelson Mandela.

Yep. One is a hero, the other just plays one in movies. One started a charity, which is good. One changed the world, which is better.

RIP Nelson Mandela. He was a great man that changed South Africa.

So no mechanical problems in the Carrera.

Tires from 2004? You would think that owning a shop and getting tires at discount….he would have had newer tires on it...

Not to be pedantic, but Nelson Mandela was going to die at some point. The man should and certainly has been celebrated, no one can argue that, but I'm kinda hoping anyone impacted by him is aware that his time was coming sooner than later, ya know? I get when someone's life (and death) means something to someone, but to get into a discussion about one over another really also needs to include the hundreds (thousands?) who've died in the last two weeks as well. What about them? Are they truly any worse?

I tend to not get into such pissing contests and instead just stick to the moment(s) that matter on a personal level while trying not to piss on someone else's.

PW was a pedophile though, yet still celebrated. That's all we're getting at.
