Breaking News: Anna Nicole Smith Is Dead, Her Lawyer Says

[TowerOfTerror]

I can't believe the general public and the media become interested over some half-witted person's death that has only contributed to this country by risque photos and a hoax of a marrage to a oil tycoon. While there are more important people risking thier lives everyday like our troops defending our quality of life are simply pushed aside for the time being. :fork:

Connor.....
You are allowed to say whatever you want and I was talking about other peoples comments also..not just yours.

It is just that to me..someone died so no matter what..I feel that we should at least respect that person and their families a little bit at least...celebrity or not.

If you were to post that someone close to you died..I would say I was sorry for your loss...even though I would not know who that person was at all..but that is what compassion for someone is.

I would not say....so...who cares..I do not know them....big deal.:shrug:

I guess my whole thing is...someone died...someone is suffering over it....as a human being with feelings...I feel for them...celebrity or not.

You can say what you want also...like everyone else is...but then so can Regina and I.

Edit: Dana said it better than I could.

 

[maggiegrace1]

But alas, I do not plan to argue more. If you do not see my point, the fault it not mine.

I think we do see your point...Do you see ours?:shrug:

Again, that is the fault of the media who apparently is under the impression that we all love to eat this news up. As long as it continues to get ratings, they will continue to feed it to us. I won't touch on the soldier issue for fear of it getting to a place it shouldn't get to, but I'll say this: this society has become way too jaded and cares more for celebrity deaths because of the scandals they bring with them.

:shrug:

I'm gonna go with no.

:shrug:

I agree completely...

In the end, we're all dead. I am going to be that blunt about it. Everyone questioning why we are giving this woman grief, including those that I consider friends... get over it. She's dead, and she was a waste of bone and organs when she was alive.

I've experienced more than my fair share of death in my 25 years, including both of my parents, 2 of my grandparents, more assorted familymembers and relatives, several friends, my unborn daughter, colleagues, coworkers, neighbors, mentors, and former teachers... and while it hurts (and it always will), I've learned to realize that it's an inevitability. I'm gonna die, you're gonna die... we're all gonna die. It's what you did in your life that makes your life worth celebrating after the fact, and this woman did nothing worth celebrating. This woman has been dead inside for years... it was about time for the body to catch up.

She's dead, she'll probably have an opulent funeral, that'll likely be broadcast on E!, and she'll leave her pallbearers with hernias. At least there's now a chance that her daughter will be raised with decent parents.

 

[MouseMadness]

Even if you do care, why say something at all, is it just to show that you're a sympathetic person?
And then, what purpose is there of calling out others who are not so sympathetic?
Is it misplaced ideals of self-righteousness, perhaps?

Why... and what are you doing that makes you any better than anybody else to decide who is the waste of bones and organs?

I don't approve of the way she lived, but there are a lot of people I feel that way about.

To YOU she was nothing worth celebrating..but to some she was...she was loved and respected by some and those are now mourning.

This is true....her daughter may be raised better then she would have been if Anna Nicole would not have died...but that is our opinion.....once again.

Some may say that Maggie could be raised better by someone else or that I could have been raised better by someone other then my parents because of what they do or did....that still does not make it okay to me to have someone act like my life or their life was nothing to be celebrated or mourned.

I have also lost people in my life...along with several unborn children and grandparents and on and on..we all have and yes we will all die....that does not give me any reason to make light of a situation where someone is doing without a person they cared about..regardless of her actions or how she lived.


Rob..you know I like you and I also like Connor...and I do respect your opinion and your thoughts and thats why I would hope that you both respect how I feel on this.

We all have opinions and some we may agree on and some we may not.

My whole point from the beginning is that no matter who she is...what she did...how she lived....she was a human being.

Rob, I'm sorry you've had to deal with so much in a very limited amount of time.

Everyone deals with death differently. Some are "veterans" and have come to accept the realities of existence, others hold on to the illusion of permanence (even if they tell themselves otherwise). Everyone has to figure it out on their own I guess. Fear of death is normal...and when we (on an individual level) face it, we are reminded of our own mortality...

It's what you did in your life that makes your life worth celebrating after the fact, and this woman did nothing worth celebrating. This woman has been dead inside for years... it was about time for the body to catch up.

And as a society, we are responsible on some level, even if just a little. We added fuel to the fire...instead of extinguishing it.

:shrug:

Which brings me to my next point....

I was a bit bothered that her sudden death got so much coverage on the news networks. With all the crazy things happening in the world...that really need attention...it's a shame that the media feels compelled to cover her death as some national catastrophe.

Someone is dead and hopefully has found some peace...but we (those of us still alive) have lots more to worry about.

Just my opinion...call it self-righteous...ignorant...whatever...my 2 cents are just as valuable as anyone elses... :lookaroun

 

[Erika]

Dana...two for two :lol:

:lol: Dana's on fire :lol:

I was not a particular fan of hers, but the whole story is tragic. I wouldn't wish the death of a child on my worst enemy. And now we have a 5 month old girl who's already lost her brother and her mother and whose father may or may not be hers.

She had everything that most people think they want, and yet was probably not half as happy on her best day as I am on my worst. I have to feel for a person like that.

What I find is ludicrous is that her death itself has become a hot topic for argument :veryconfu

I think the news organizations are in the business of selling advertising.
The more people that watch, the more money they can charge the advertisers.

People want hear about Anna Nichole, people want to see train wrecks, people like to see the little girl get pulled from the well, people want to see other peoples odd behavior so they can feel "good" that they're not like that.
That's what we want to see, so the networks cater to our wants.

Look at that Nanny show, the only reason it's successful is that we get to watch others behaving badly.

I so agree with you Shaman, but unfortunately I think we're a minority.

:lol: Dana's on fire :lol:

 

[Tramp]

No "Mother of the Year Award" here.

I hope she finds some peace in death.

I can't even enumerate the kind, decent friends and relatives that have touched my life and have passed with not even the smallest fraction of the attention. My heart is heavy today at the thought of a little girl being raised without her mommy and without the companionship of her big brother. And therein lies my only sympathy.

Rest in Peace Ms. Smith....and that's all I'm gonna say.

 

[DanStat]

She was one of my favorites. I'm really sad to see her go.

 

[hcswingfield]

When will the 3 networks start vying for the rights to air a movie of the week? Who will be the lucky actress who gets to play ANS? Maybe Mary Hart knows. I'll have to TIVO Entertainment Tonight!

 

[AliciaLuvzDizne]

I remember when her son died, Anna's mother was interviewed close to hysterics talking about how it was foul play and Anna would be next...
did anyone else see that interview?

LOL Of this entire thread... this comment made the most sense of all. :lol:

Looking over the list Connor pointed though... did y'all see the lady who lived to be 107?! Now that's something to celebrate! My goodness! She lived in 3 centuries! Not many can claim that... so interesting.
