Can't blame Brown for this . . . Whitney has to take personal responsibility for her life. Like the previous poster said, she died 20 years ago.
AMEN .. look we do drugs we enjoy, we destroy...Bobby had no desire to kill her. he is just like all of us..trying to get by mebbe get high but a killer NO
My sister killed herself w/ dope, and I came close a time or two..no blame on Bobby
I've had friends who've done everything imaginable. I've smoked everything "natural", and tried some other drugs. When I was offered something that I didn't want, no one goaded me into it.
Where Houston is different. By all accounts she didn't smoke, drink or do drugs before Bobby Brown. He's tad amount to a drug dealer hooking someone to make money. But, in his case, he just wanted to make his wife manageable and as fucked up as himself.
If she had not met him, her life would not have crashed and burned the way it did. There isn't even a doubt of that. She died the day she met Bobby Brown. She tried to clean herself the day she dumped him. It was just too late.

Look, I don't care one way or the other about her death, other than it's a bit sad someone dies so young. I have no personal connection to her or her family, so I don't feel any loss.
But you have no way of knowing any of this. It's just how you feel about strangers you don't know anything about, except for what was told to you by other strangers you don't know.
You can't predict what anyone's life path would have been if it hadn't been for someone or some incident.

I'm with Sinners. F bobby brown
Drugs are powerful substances. If it were as easy as taking personal responsibility, nobody would do it. An addict does not cure herself by dying. She cures herself by the rest of us trying to help. One of my best friends was an addict. He got out of it after both his parents died and his brother gave him more love than was possible to give. My friend did not just snap out of it. Others made him snap out of it. He is the nicest, fairest guy I know. I'm glad he's back. I don't care he didn't take responsibility for his actions when he was doing drugs. I'm just glad to have him back as he used to be.

A little harsh? But I get the sentiment. Winehouse, Houston, gone. Meanwhile Madonna is lip syncing Superbowl shows to 3 billion people.
Wow kind of harsh there Gelder. I'm sad but also very angry. My family went to the same church as her before we moved out of Newark 27 years ago. I didn't know her that personally but she was in our congregation. NO SHE DID IT TO HERSELF. Bobby yes was an influence but I'm sorry to go a religous here but if she was a strong christian person, she should have resisted. Evils are out there yes, but it's up to us to choose. No one was holding a gun to her head. She choose the path she wanted to. I'm a [part time rehab counselor and her story is just one's of thousands we go through every year about the perils of drug addiction. We just lost one of our clients a few weeks ago due to she overdosed and she was only 21. WILL PEOPLE EVER GET THE MESSAGE DRUGS KILL. You thought we would learned from Michael, obviously not... I think we all will remember the music and those special moments. No one will want to remember the dark side that's not who she was... I hope God forgives you Whitney. You had so much going for yourself, now your daughter will have to carry on without you shame. Bobby needs to step up now if he can.

I think you're responding to the bit I quoted from ussinners, and not what I said.

It it kosher with you if I don't care that you don't care.
(FWIW, I don't care if you don't care that I don't care that you don't care. That'd be fine with me. I really don't care).
Does this color make my @ss look fat?
Its cool. For me to care I'd have to know and/or care who you are.
