Jade Goody's passed away

[FeelingLucky]

here you are I think this you'll get more of the conversation you seek there. Or you could also try here rather than fill up this thread (should be obvious to you on reading it that this is not the kind of thread you seem to think it is) with so much irrelevant stuff.

Hope that helps.

Well, I hope it all stays fine for you.

Personally, yes. I have 3 (yes THREE) degrees in chemisty and no bugger will give me a reasonably paid job in the uk, so if my kids or step kids want to earn a living some other way which will be more fulfilling than being an industrial chemist in the UK, they will have my full support.

One of my DSDs is already on the way to being a model and my DS is signed up too. Being clever in the UK generally sucks, IMHO, so you want to look at it another way? Certainly gets my support!

No, nice discussion is quite stress relieving - it'd be boring if we were all agreeing with each other - wouldn't it?!

herbietea sh eloved her boys I have no doubt about that.
Portofino didn't you find that hard, I know I did, I wanted the real person not the saint.

With respect 2shoes your mother was not in the public eye was she? So why would her illness and subsequent death have been deemed to have been in the public interest? Did you expect it to receive acres of coverage in national newspapers and be reported on national television news bulletins?

Whether you and others like you like it or not, and for whatever reason, Jade Goody was a public figure - maybe she didn't have the stature of Nelson Mandella or Florence Nightengale but she was a public figure, for better or worse. It is for that reason that her illness and subsenquent death was a subject of public interest. I really don't understand why people like you keep making these totally pointless analogies between Jade Goody and the many other people who die from cancer every day?
What point are they trying to make?

Do you have alot of stress, KPJ?????????????

I'd move if you were you Haribo! Over here they appreciate good qualifications a whole lot more. I swear even to be a topless model you'd need a diploma in SOMETHING.

Seeker if my children turn out to be racist loudmouths I would be mortified.

BUT - if they turn out to stop that behaviour, grow up, apologise, become a dental nurse/beautician and (to me most importantly) a loving mum whose son's clearly adore them and who in the throws of death do the only thing possible and provide for their futures, then I think I would be a proud mum who for all their failings did their level best

kingprawnjalfrezi and Seeker. Have bumped the threads for you in case you are having trouble finding them. If you click on active posts they should be there.

No one in this thread really wants to have an argument with you, I imagine people really aren't that bored.

Gunnerbean please don't talk crap, I was talking about dead people being made saints.
it seems to happen a lot and they become un real, I used my expiernce as an examole of that.

beanieb this is the internet not school.

But probably not industrial chemistry!!!

Not sure I could cut it as a topless model... I do have the boobs, but have a 5 month old baby bump too, which might spoil the effect!!!

Bump will morph into baby in August, so maybe I should try topless modelling after that????

not now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, 2shoes - people are MUCH more bored on the internet than they ever are at school!!

2shoes, posts and kettles sping readily to mind...

2shoes, I found/find it very hard. I don't want to hear about the saint, I want to know the "real" her. My GM is still too upset (after 36 years) to discuss it. My Aunts have given hints after some drunken pestering on my part. My dad cries if I ask too many questions. At least Jade's boys will have plenty of source material! Not sure (even from my pov) whether that is a good or bad thing.

posts and kettles lol that is good

Portofino I was lucky my auntie would tell me the real story, and my cousens are older than me so knew my "real" mum. I used to love listening to my auntie.

Beanib - please could you stop being quite so patronizing. I would ask who appointed you thread censor - but I won't.

please just think - privately, no need to post - what it would feel like if your daughter too Jade Goody as her role model.

2shoes, having a mum with cancer or who died of cancer doesn't mean you have the final say on how other people should deal with their illness or death. Same as me having experience of a dad dying of a heart attack doesn't make me the judge of how all heart-attack victims and their families should deal with their illness and death.

You seem pissed off with Jade for being famous. Take it to the other thread, get it all out there. It makes no sense to come back to this thread and start peddling all the stuff about her fame and background all over again!

I know this isn't a school but I think if people act like kids then sometimes they do need to be led by the nose.

beanieb you are being tiresome, if you bothered to read what I had written I was talking to Portofino about sainting.
you cannot tell people where to post and what to say, bumping threads and making personal attacks breaks the rules.

Oh Seeker who gives a flying one who your daughters choose as role models apart from you?

Why don't you try and show a little compassion and try to imagine how two confused little 4 and 5 year olds feel having lost their mum yesterday and just give it a bloody rest.

Go away and concentrate on locating some acceptable role models for your daughters instead of boring us all to dealth here with your pointless rantings.
