Just to clarify: 1. I gave my opinion. I haven't told anyone they are wrong if their opinions are different. We all have them 2. I know it's not a funeral. It was a memorial service 3. The media is there so people all over the world could be a part of it. I don't care if people take pictures. I thought what those 3 stooges did was immature and disrespectful. They,aren't teens going to a football game 4. Symantics. The Danish PM did the selfie and the other 2 joined in. 5. I never suggested anyone be serious there. I've been to Irish wakes. It's a celebration, but I wouldn't take pictures like that. I might take pictures of the setting, etc Not sure how taking that picture like that celebrates Mandela's life, which is why they are there. Yep, we all have opinions. No one said you couldn't have one, or disagree with others. I was just trying to understand why people were so outraged over the photo. I still don't understand it. I guess some think everyone should be more serious, not smile in pictures or anything like that. It's nice to see some of these world leaders acting like normal people. |

Michelle seems to think it's a somber event. |

Well since I'm not outraged, I can't answer that Whether normal people or world leaders, I still think it's tacky to whip oit a phone and say cheese at a function like this. I have never said they should be somber and serious, but that is childish IMO. At least they didn't make duck faces How is that celebrating Mandela? |

So, you think anyone smiling at a camera at this even was being tacky and childish? |

Wow feels like a game if twister lol. I did NOT say that. Read the entire post. I was referring to whipping out a cell phone like teens at a football game. And yes I think it was tacky. So what? That's what I believe. If someone doesn't understand, bot my problem. It's an opinion. Not everything in life requires a debate. Sometimes it is what it is
Now for the 3rd time...how does something like that celebrate Mandela's life? |

Looks like they were enjoying the company they were there with, while celebrating his life. I know that when I'm at a celebration, I enjoy the company I'm with.

I'm not the one trying to convince people they are wrong.  People are entitled to take pictures, but others are entitled to not like it too
Funny how that works huh? Just like people talking about the duck faces. Should they stop because people comment that it looks ridiculous? Should people not be allowed to think it looks stupid? I fail to see how it celebrate his life. Was it fun...sure. But has nothing to do with Mandela's life. |

in life Mandela went through torture and pain and sacrifice
but in the end learned forgiveness, and joy he was a man who celebrated life,,, any expression of JOY for life, friends, family,,, honors his life,,, today, phones double as cameras,, these types of events, international and rare, are a reasonable place to have a camera and commemorate the event,,, |

I just don't agree and don't understand your way of thinking. That's all. |

Only arrogant self important jackasses would make a ceremony such as this about having a good time both foolish and disgraceful, but then again I never claimed to the Obozos to have any grace. |
