Patrick Swayze death market

@ rob if you think that death pools are fair game then you are a ghoul ,it is your prerogative of course to be one. i have been against death pools, look at the first comment there are far two many of them and Nigel being the big white chief should inform the admin and super users should void them at creation only my opinion
and as been said by a well know admin it is not newsworthy.

well I'm not sure the term "ghoul" is necessary, but I already understand your position.

If a death is not newsworthy than why is it that we learn of celebrity deaths on the news?

How ghoulish are news networks? Should they not keep us updated on the health of people that sell?

I will continue to (respectfully) disagree.

That has a obvious answer we read about them.
but its not necessary to vote on it
as i said its your option
no but there are other things that i find more acceptable

What's the matter with death pools? Is this seriously an ethics discussion? Will they die or not? Bet on it or don't.

Death pools are a great idea

come on out from your shadow dean

I say:
I don't think anybody is saying death is not newsworthy. I think people are saying that wagering on whether or when people will die is tasteless.
