Jade Goody has Cancer

and im also sorry but them kids are probably better of without her.

not with her death, but they should have been took away ages ago.

Right, two young children with their mother or without? It's a bit of a no-brainer really isn't it? She might not be the best role-model there is, but regardless, you obviously know absolutely nothing about infant development if you think that they will be better off! The chances are they'll end up developing either some social or mental disorders which will manifest themselves later in life. How do you think it will make them feel and/or react when they decide to research the events surrounding their mother's death which they no doubt will do when they're older? Give the woman some bloody dignity!

Jeez, the vitriol in this thread is absolutely loathsome, and people wonder why I've lost faith in humanity? You know, the irony here is that the same people who lack compassion are those complaining about the cult of the celebrity, when in reality this compassion is all we can pull out of this horrible mess. Remind me to spit on you next time you're seriously ill will you? Maybe I can help take our species down another notch too.
 
nope but constant abuse of drugs!, we had a same discussion not long ago, about her being pished on gmtv i think, old thread.
I think you're thinking of Kerry Katona - there's only been one publicised incident of Jade Goody using drugs as far as I can imagine - and that was before she had children.
 
It doesn't bother me if she cared if I was in the same position or not, my compassion is unconditional, I don't give of myself just for the hope of a return.

Yes, but in fairness, compassion isn't going to make her cancer go away.

People don't show any care to a homeless guy on the street, dying of heroin abuse, but then they open their copy of Heat magazine and all of a sudden they're Mother Theresa.

That's a poor comparison to what we're witnessing here. A better analogy is if you walked up to the homeless man and proceeded to urinated on him.
 
She's not a bad person, she's just a divhead. Nobody deserves what she's going through so i hope there is a possible recovery for her.


Sums it up nicely really.

I can’t believe the lack of respect and remorse going by some of the comments made in here to a fellow human being. I know that she's not the most popular so called celeb and she's not my cuppa either but I really wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Whether we like it or not, she is in the public eye and if her story brings hope and encouragement to anyone suffering similar circumstances then any coverage has to be positive. Anyone who has or has known anyone with any potential life threatening illness would know of the trauma and upset it brings and not just to the individual but also to those close to them. It really isn’t a joke or something to be taken likely. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Well, not really, seeing how the homeless guy doesn't make any money out of being ridiculed (directly or indirectly), unlike Miss Goody.

Fact is, if you're famous you become 'public property' I guess. You're open to all kinds of nasty opinions, thats just how it is. To be honest, no-one deserves cancer, but I really don't see the fuss.

Unless someone comes up with a cure, then whatever you or I say or think makes no difference. Stating the obvious I know, but I think this whole compassion trip is overused.

If you started a thread saying that your mum had cancer would you be receptive to people posting 'She's still a **** though.', that you were better off without her and that she's a drug addict (when she's not)?

i think i have actualy, i was just trying to make a comback but it wasnt happening :o :p
 
Well, I don't want to seem harsh but I wish she would just go away and get on with her illness instead of commissioning her publicist (Max Clifford I think) to float endless sympathy stories in the tabloid press, preparing no doubt to allow her to cynically cash in (for her kids presumably) before she dies.

Possibly, but then I would have no inclination to start such a thread, unless there was a particular reason to.

Also, its not really the best comparison to make. Comparing the hypothetical situation of one of my parents to a rich, famous celebrity who has made a career out of being hated (intentional or not) isn't really justified.

I've posted about some personal grievances in my life before on this forum, and while it would hurt if someone said something like "**** you, no-one cares", I also invited that comment in the first place by drawing attention to myself. I would never be spiteful about anyone on here in that way, but to hope thats true of everyone is pretty wishful thinking.

Jade Goody is just a talentless celebrity whose made a load of money who just happens to have cancer. Nothings related.

I try not to have opinions on celebrities or people in the news dying, where ever possible.
 
Oh no, cashing in for her kids, what a terrible thing to do.

She's loaded already - this is just dear old Jade manipulating the media beacause that is what she does. That foul woman annoys the hell out of me, but in this case I will overlook becasue she will be leaving young dependents when she dies.
 
And the media don't manipulate do they <huge rolleyes>, the press and media are just as bad, they make money off of each other, 'Hello' or some other mag out there will be begging for this story, celebritys use the press like the press use them, it's nothing new.
 
Well apparently her cancer has spread - its in the papers today.

I don't think Jade is as stupid as sehe makes out to be - she's made a fortune out of it - good luck to her.

I hope she recovers!
