Do I know of anything else that went on in 2016? That's why I made a diverse list.

You are the one claiming 2016 is all about one factor, I've been welcoming you to say otherwise.

Yeah, you just made a list sporting only the good, none of the bad. 

You're the one giving out a singe factor which is just the good, so I'll be waiting for you to notice the bad, that is not my job to state the obvious. You go and look for the bad, if you claim there isn't then you're just being ingorant.

Tell you what, I can see you partly here on making a list that has both. Of course my intention was to plainly state the good and thus not the goal of this thread.

I do believe in always pushing for positivty because I think it's actually healthy physically and mentally in every way, and science proves this. It doesn't mean I don't see the bad, but I'd rather highlight the good. However, in this specific case I do think celebrity deaths are not that big of a deal unless they were your role-models or related in some way. Just cause someone loves Star Wars doesn't make every actor on the show a role-model. I honestly think people let themselves get caught up in superficial negativity fairly easily - I really do believe this hence my arguments.

But I digress, a "neutral" list is an interesting idea and perhaps more discussion-worthy for a forum thread as well, and more realistic perhaps.
