    It's hardly a particularly productive addition to human society is it? She didn't cure cancer, or even administer medicine like millions of doctors, she didn't do anything that'll have any lasting benefit at all. Not that a huge number of people do, but why bother mourning just another nobody?

    Overdose is spot on on this one.

    Every life has a value, they are not all equal. Not to compare ANS to someone so terrible, but I can guarantee few tears are shed in honor of Hitler.

    Yea, sorry, couldn't give a damn. If people insist on putting that **** in their bodies then they obviously don't give a crap themselves so why should I bother caring when they die.

    Can you imagine the hype if britney spears or pairs hilton died all of a sudden. They would have to recall US troops then to help in the search for the killer :D

    Agreed!

    While yeah, this is doom and gloom technically and it may kind of contradict what im about to say ;) but...

    Not all of us want to start our day with a depressing trawl of how many innocent civilians were killed in iraq last night - personally i read the entertainment section and the science and nature section of the bbc website. Situations in the middle east have pretty much been top of the headlines for years now, not everybody is quite as interested as you might be ;)

    Imagine a world without this kind of news, yeesh! You talk about the atrocities in iraq, christ - people would be leaping from buildings on a daily basis! Oh the drudgery!

    You're kidding right? The number of neo-nazi's out there, there'll be far more people unhappy that hitler died then there are caring about some semi-famous prostitute.

    Well to me she looks like a golddigger plain and simple.
    As for a human being dying - Some people are greatly improved by death - look at hitler. His death was a good thing.
    Now im not comparing her to hitler but just saying good things come out of deaths.

    I thought he killed himself because germany lost the war, not that the war was lost because hitler killed himself ?

    Good things can come out of deaths its true, but that doesn't mean we should be out on the streets celebrating - and it certainly isnt the case here. Nothing bad is particularly coming out of this, but nothing good either - celebrating, and saying its a non-issue or that it doesn't matter is still inappropriate - especially on a public forum!

    Why is saying it doesn't matter that some gold-digging prostitute died inappropriate?

    I'm sorry, but why are we wasting time discussing her?

    You'll probably find a dozen hookers and smakheads die each day in the US alone. Why single out this one?

    The 21st is the first anniversary of my Dad's death, so I'll be going back home to mark the occasion, but I won't be reporting it to CNN. Only the people who were closest to him would be able to gauge the impact he had on the world, but I reckon he contributed as much to civilization as ANS.

    Should I have any emotional stock left to spend, I might think about the guys in Iraq, or the little girl who choked to death in an ambulance, but I don't think I'll ever get around to giving a sh*t about ANS.

    I'll never wish anyone were dead, but there are numerous people for whom I won't bat an eyelid when they go.

    ^^^ What he says.

    I can't believe this made Serious Discussion. Everybody put down Hello magazine now and get back to your Custom PC, OK?

    I thought I'd be the last to say this, but here goes:

    "If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

    And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

    And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited.

    Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated.

    It is not discourteous, it is not selfish, it is not irritable, it does not enumerate the evil. It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth

    It covers all things, it has faith for all things, it hopes in all things, it endures in all things.

    Love never falls in ruins; but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
    tongues, they will cease; or knowledge, it will be superseded. For we know in part and we prophecy in part. But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.

    When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I reckoned as a child; when I became an adult, I put childish things behind me.

    For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.

    But now remains faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

    --Corinthians 13:1-13


    That goes for her, and for all of us. People become what they are for a reason. Judge not, and you will not be judged.
