To think the news about the royal baby is completely outweighed by the death of Rio Ferdinand's wife at just 34

[Bearbehind]

The news is full of the royal birth but I've just read about Rio Ferndinad's wife and found it so so sad.

She was just 34 with 3 children and was taken by the bastard that is cancer.

It just makes you realise how fragile life is.

Why ask for a deletion, just hide it if you think it was a mistake to start it.

So you start a thread, and because people don't agree with you, you are rude to them.
You are told YABU so you want the thread deleted?

You are getting it deleted because people disagree with you.

Own your shit.

Blimey - some of you don't give up do you.

I can't do right for doing wrong.

I shouldn't have posted this in AIBU as it wasn't an agree or disagree situation- it was just thoughts.

I accept that and completely understand other people feel differently which is their prerogative.

I don't mind if the thread stays or goes.

I'm not unhappy with the sentiment what I've written but I do think my title doesnt convey what I was trying to say.

argumentative bunch MN

OP i don't think you done yourself any favours by being agressive and coming out with stuff such as "you disgust me" to other posters

what about poor Mother Teresa,
Utterly overshadowed by princess/HRH Diana's death.

To be quite honest Bear, you've been really rather distasteful in your responses to people on this thread.

We're all capable of pondering the greatness of life and the sadness of death. But if anyone has posted anything that doesn't fit in with your own musings you've tried to shoot them down.

Some of us find people claiming to be grieving for someone whose name they probably didn't even know a week Ago distasteful.

I agree donvito

that was a bit harsh but I was truly shocked David Beckhams birthday even entered into the discussion.

Oh leave the OP alone for goodness sakes. What's the matter with you all. Anybody would thin k it's a full moon tonight.

Do we have to choose?

Can't we be happy that a couple have had a baby, sad that someone has lost her life, so therefore children lost a mother & smile at a family celebrating a milestone birthday?

Do we have to pit grief against happiness all the fucking time.

I for one, having suffered my own losses recently in the shape of a death & a major illness totally changing someone I love, am pleased to see happiness in the papers, on the news sites in my fb feed, for once.

Why does one need to be seen as overshadowing the other?

They aren't comparable. Let's stop comparing them.

I don't doubt that William and Kate would have sympathy for Rio Ferdinand, but I would imagine not even the premature death of his mother would 'taint' the day of his daughters birth.
