What in the world would I gain out of joining FaceBook, to be told — "You're A Troll" — everytime I happen to stump you or your "mules" on a question or express an opinion that you disagree with? What's in it for me? I get enough of those kind of double standards, ri'chere on prince.org? I don't need to look any further, muley ol' pal. You definitely don't know who I am — regardless how much you'd like us to believe that you do — if you think I'd waste my time on something as unproductive as that. Besides — If it's so important to you, that I know what your credentials are, then please feel free to share them with everybody ri'chere in this thread. “Sometimes People Don't Want To Hear The Truth Because They Don't Want Their Illusions Destroyed” — Friedrich Nietzsche | |

Please ... Maybe if we had substantiated facts to discuss, the sniping would cease. Can we remember that a beloved member of the universe has died, can we check our egos at the door for five minutes so that Prince can be the focus of our conversations? | |

Nope not another wife. Claire is still filing petitions with the court. I guess the FBI or CIA won't give up her marriage license to P | |

Have done some reading, have given some thought to ideas brought up by others and, although I respect you all, I'm staying with my original stance. I admit, there is always the possibility that each of you could be onto something as there is much evil in this world and none of us knows with personal or factual knowledge what took place in this man's life. And, perhaps, that's how it should be. Today, I left the many groups on FB and Instagram that I had enjoyed and will probably do the same with the org someday as I truly think that P would be appalled at how we have all interacted with one another and how crazed we have become. My thoughts that P's death from fentanyl could further bring awareness and education to those suffering and stigmatized by the opioid epidemic will probably go unrealized as that is not the agenda for those left behind - musicians and artists have one of the largest platforms to reach the public but they also have the largest legacies and images to sustain. Those he left behind will profit from maintaining that image. Seems ironic, a man who helped so many in need during his lifetime will be helping so few in death. I've said my peace, well wishes to you all and may you all find ways to resolve his passing for your own piece of mind.

Hey CooperC62057. Did the wack job that threatened to shoot Prince's ex-wife, have anything to do with putting you off WackBook FaceBook? I personally hope you'll continue posting here.

This is what I'm talking about - the whole thing has just become insane. Not leaving the org just yet, I've said my peace and not changing my thoughts unless something factual comes out which causes me to see things differently.

I know! Right? I'm no expert on mass hysteria, mind you. But I'm convinced that a lot of people's Prince-induced insanity is to do with people deluding themselves into thinking that just because they own every Prince product he ever sold, that that naturally means that they are Prince's BFF IRL. So they feel empowered to say and do absolutly anything "In The Name of Prince".

I know who you are, muley! You're really the CIA! And you were so insistent that I join RaceBook FaceBook so's you could build up a dossier on me to find out "Who I really am" 'cause you and that other FaceBookie wack job are in cahoots in a plot to shoot me 'cause you knew I was planning on selling my old Prince vinyl LPs to the used record place downtown to finance the surprise birthday party I'm throwing for myself!

Oh PLEASE...at least be TRUTHFUL not AN urn THE URN.. and you know it....everyone else has ignored that FACT but today I have NO Patience The Truth? You can't handle The Truth! But I'll tell you anyway… Although I'm an atheist, there is one particular belief about death that I have in common with Jehovah's Witness beliefs… The Beliefs and Practices of Jehovah’s Witness Life after death?"…Members believe that, “…at death, humans cease to exist. The dead know, feel, and experience absolutely nothing.” Death is compared to sleep, because there is no consciousness, activity, or awareness of one’s surroundings…" I don't know what country you come from, Lovejunky. But in America, we don't take kindly to other people ramming their religious mores down everybody else's throats. If mere pictures of inanimate objects hold some religous or spiritual sway over you, then big whoop for you. You just have to accept that in real life, pictures of things don't have the same meaning for everybody else. That's what we call — "Life In The Big City" — where I come from. With that said and out of the way, The Truth is — my reasons are still just as simple as I've already explained several times before… So, if it makes you feel any better, Lovejunky, then just call me THEE URN junky. “Sometimes People Don't Want To Hear The Truth Because They Don't Want Their Illusions Destroyed” — Friedrich Nietzsche | |

I believe we are all in agreement that Prince's original use of at least one drug was for apparent pain relief. Without the autopsy report, we cannot know how many drugs were being used at the time of his death, or what medical conditions might have necessitated such use. Cooper has a good point: this could be a teachable moment, because it appears Prince was using drugs obtained from non-doctor sourcing. If an international icon had to resort to that, so could your next door neighbor. Help without judgment is available. No one has to go through this alone. But it is all swept under the rug now, as if he floated away on a cloud instead of collapsing, alone, in an elevator. Where was everyone with a hand out in his time of need? | |

PP, I'm sure that your use here of the term "junky" was referencing the user name but I have to tell you that is not how I took it when I first read it. I really found it offensive that you used that term along with urn as it was P's urn that was being discussed. "Remember when you told me that love was touching souls?" ☔️ A Case of You ☔️ | |
