I don't believe the poster really made any regard to being specifically something about dailytech. What he's trying to say is, if gates or jobs fell ill or died, everyone would suddenly care so much and "omg thats terrible", but if someone died in iraq (or something else), then nobody would seem to care. Point being, people idolize them too much compared to the mass amounts of death and poverty around the world. Instead of caring so much about the death or illness of your favorite sports athlete or company ceo, try to feel sorry for the 20 people in iraq that died in that suicide bombing.

Unfortunately, feelings and emotions aren't something you can force. If they don't really care, then that is how they feel. They could fake it if that would make you happy, but I have a feeling that is not what you are after. Telling other people how they should feel is rather pretentious of anyone.

They idolize these people most of the time because they feel they did something great and are deserving of it. Chances are the people who die all the time were of no real interest, otherwise someone would have probably latched on to their story and exploited it.

I didn't say i agreed with what he said, only clarified (mostly on how it had nothing to do with dailytech). I completely understand what you're saying and can't agree more, tbh.
