You were fairly clear about your attitude to begin with. You only changed your tune when someone pointed you out.
Wow, you sure got me there Moonie. It all adds up.:roll:
I didn't change my opinions to try and save face about anything here. I clarified myself. In fact, right after my initial post(as in, before I was criticized by you or anyone here) I had a long MSN conversation with one of my friends about this issue where I said all the exact same things about the symbolic nature of who she was and how she died.
Again, if you really were happy about the symbolic nature of her death, then you wouldn't have said "good riddance" and post a "8)".
I am really happy about the symbolic nature of it, and that statement applies to it too.
I also called you out on this because you're willing to spend 10 pages trying to prove why we should all feel sad for the poor, majestic cows that die for our cheeseburgers, but when another human being dies you can't show the common ****ing decency to not point and laugh.
Okay, you know what? I've remained pretty civil here, so I'll thank you not to start flying off the handle and swearing at me.
I really don't see why you're blowing up at me for this, when I've NEVER done anything CLOSE to "pointing and laughing" here. Back in the Steve Irwin thread you guys were all having a ball posting animated GIFs of stingrays chasing him and stuff, and when I was pissed about it all I got was a bunch of bashing from people and your standard replies of "Canadian" and "Sand in vagina".
That entire thread was one long point-and-laugh fest, and it was revolving around a family man who died in a freak accident while filming a kids show, and you didn't say one word.
Here I remark that I could care less that this woman, who is an embodiment of so many evils and so much wrong with America, inevitably drank and drugged herself to death, and you're practically wailing at me.
And since you brought up animals, I'll just mention this: it saddens me deeply when animals die because they are neutral beings who never do any
intentional evil at all. Anna Nicole Smith, on the other hand, did. That's why I care more about the animals than her.
I don't automatically rate animals in higher regard than humans. It's completely subjective. But it seems like you, and others here, think that the simple act of being human is a one-way ticket to some sort of higher level of worth in the universe, and I could not disagree more with that.
The problem is that I'm not incredibly saddened by Anna Nicole's death besides the way I usually feel when I hear anyone has died, but I won't let someone celebrate her death as if it was the best thing that happened to them all week.
I want you to STOP SAYING THAT RIGHT NOW.
I've been forced to say this a dozen times here. I did NOT, nor have I EVER, celebrated Anna Nicole's or ANYONE ELSE'S death.
You are lying about me and putting words in my mouth, and now you're completely blowing everything out of proportion to. "The best thing that happened to them all week"? How dare you.
I cracked jokes about the irony of Irwin's death, and I criticized the way people were acting as if they were surprised that The Crocodile Hunter was killed by an animal, but I never celebrated his death.
And I've done even less about ANS. Looks like I should be the one blowing up at you here.
You did the EXACT SAME THING you accused me of not having "the common ***ing decency" not to do.
I don't understand where anyone gets off judging any other human being as being useless. I'm sure your the ****ing moral authority of the universe.
She had a ridiculous amount of money and spent it on no one but herself. Do you have any idea what I'd give to have that power, just so I could use it to help others?
I'm sure she wasn't completely useless, but there's no excuse for that. Christ, it's not like I said she should've died, or that I wanted her to die when she was alive.
Hey, is it possible that Anna Nicole was actually another person, with a family that loved her, just like you? Is it possible that there are people who's hearts are breaking right now without her? Is it possible that if you can't understand this and feel a simple shred of empathy, then you're everything that's wrong with humanity? Maybe.
Kind of like how Steve Irwin had a wife and 7-year-old who loved him(whereas ANS had a 6-month-old daughter that didn't know her and she left in another part of the country with someone else to look after when she ended up dying)?
And yet you crack jokes about Irwin, and don't say a word to the others who slammed him, and then come down on ME here for saying far less bad than you and the others ever did.
I'm tired. I'm sick of this thread. I agree with VVD. Lock it up.
And finish it all up with the classic "Please lock this before the person I'm unfairly bashing can retaliate!".
If you're sick of it, then leave. The fact that it's not locked isn't forcing you to come here.
