Hey there Dean, I just want to make a tiny correction: cardiac arrest is slightly different from a heart attack. Granted, they both result in the cessation of the heartbeat and the subsequent death of cardiac muscle, but a heart attack is the term used when a blood clot is blocking the flow of blood to the heart, resulting in anoxia and the stopping of the heart. However, if a person’s heart stops beating suddenly, the culprit isn’t necessarily a clot or other blockage. The heart can stop for many reasons (septic shock, for example). So basically, if the flow of blood to the heart is being physically blocked by something, then it’s referred to as a heart attack; if the heart stops without actually being blocked, then it’s cardiac arrest.
Just wanted to clear that up. It’s a shame about Michael Jackson, though. The intense public scrutiny that he faced during that trial several years ago sorta killed him inside.

Leave it to Claire to try to emasculate Dean here, though sometimes I have to say he does act a bit girly with his writing.
As for MJ, he was admittedly an important part of global culture and I’m sure will be greatly missed by his fans and friends.

How ON EARTH was I trying to “emasculate” Dean??? I was simply pointing out to him that a heart attack and cardiac arrest are slightly different. Lots of people get the two confused. And exactly what is “girly” writing, you sexist piece of crap?

I remember the guy was crying about his dead dog on here. That’s something I would expect from a mascara boy on Myspace, not a grown man.

If you think that grown men shouldn’t cry over a dead pet, you clearly don’t know what love is and how strong the human-animal bond is. Having a pet is supposed to be a relationship of love, not of ownership. If you do not cry or feel emotion over the loss of a pet, you clearly have an ownership relationship and not a loving relationship. To a lot of people, their pet is like a child. Do you also believe a grown man should hold back his tears after his child dies?
What I don’t understand, Adam, is why you accused me of trying to “emasculate” Dean, but then you turned around and called him a “mascara boy on Myspace”.
