people didn't put her on a pedestal though, they laughed at her and viewed her as a train wreck. She was certainly no a-lister
Meanwhile 10 people whom we will never know the names of and whom have never sucked an old man's dick for 10 million dollars died in Iraq today.
I love pretty much everything you've said in this thread. In the few clips I've seen of her, she alway seemed a little tortured to me, like she was constantly struggling. She wasn't graced with the intelligence that a lot of people have in this thread, but apparently that gives them the right to judge her as a "waste of skin" or not worthy of living. Intelligence isn't everything in the world, you cold-hearted fuckers.
i found out she died like right after she did at 2:49p.m.....which is fucked up..i blame the crazy art school kids i was with all day after...we saw her on the news and everyone cheered...not cause she died but cause she was when she was alive..and we had lots of beer..... i almost still don't believe it...like it's some kinda tupac thing..... sucks... its very tragic..but its retarded the way they're blowing it out of prportion....
That is a great point indeed. I wasn't being serious, though. To be honest, what bothers me the most about this is that Anna is getting so much attention out of this. She is one lousy human being... if you people want to talk about "deserving" something, then she deserves nothing of what she owned. It just saddens me that so much sympathy goes to this crappy person, and so little goes to the starving bum, ya know?
Yeah, I totally agree... not that she was a "lousy human being" because I'm not here to judge her as a human but I agree that it's sad how much media attention she is getting compared to anyone else. But that IS the media for you. Can't really expect anything different. I think they are also talking about it so much on the news because all the controversies surrounding her recently. And because her son died last year and she just had a baby.... so yeah, it's kinda a tragic story for that family despite what you think of her as a person. Doesn't mean her death is any more important then any other death... just how the media is....
Then quit giving it attention (even this negative shit you've been spewing) and work on helping that starving bum. If you want the world to change you have to take the first steps yourself, bitching about it won't make anyone change if you aren't willing to yourself.
yaknow...it is totally ridiu=culous the amount of attention it's getting...everyone at school was talking about it the moment it happened...we find out things too quickly in todays world
Then you can logically expect people to judge her when they are so damn exposed to her persona. I don't think about Anna, she never crosses my mind... but now that she is pushed on me by every media outlet... together with all of her story and her life... it strikes me as sad and she strikes me as a selfish, arrogant celebrity. I have compasion for all living things, and I would love to be able to spread it throughout the entire world, but I honestly cannot say that I regret Anna's death in any possible way. Even her baby is much better off without a drug-addicted mother and an undisclosed husband... the money will buy that baby good care and schooling.
And I see applauding anyone's death as a classic example of the desensitization of the modern world as a whole. I'm sorry, but whatever you thought of her as a celebrity, the fact remains that she was also a person and a mother. Neither is easy for anyone. Maybe her attempts to deal with it were misguided, and maybe she was a classic example of "famous for being famous" but I believe, as someone else said, that she just wanted to do the best that she could for herself. So she used what she had. I know very few people who have never, at some time or another, done something stupid or unsavory to help themselves out of a hole. Just my 2 cents.
Oh fuck, all I'm doing is discussing it because it's in my face. It's like telling someone not to look at a dead bird on the road. I am taking the first steps to changing the world right here by trying to illustrate my concern to YOU! I am not a person who bitches much, if at all... I am a person who wonders and tries to understand, and I am trying to understand why all of you people give so much of a fuck about her all of the sudden? Why don't you go out and help the bum if you have so much compasion and love to spread around? I'm sure he'd appreciate it more than the corpse of the barbie you are defending.
Argh. I was not applouding her death. I am too tired to go into this again... re-read this thread, and come back to me.
BSR- I quoted you, but I wasn't trying to direct my post at you. Sorry if it came off that way. I work in radio, and I heard so any people today going on & on about "good riddance" "she deserved it" etc...
