Her boobs fell over her face while she was sleeping and she suffocated, or so I hear...

Ok, that wasn't in good taste. I heard she left behind a baby girl, father unknown. I can't imagine what life is going to be like for that kid.

Didn't she just lose her son about 6 months ago?

Funny why this is getting so much media attnetion/airplay.She really is more of a b(F?) grade celebrity.

As always, not nice to hear but she doesn't deserve anymore recognition then joe blow who pased away down the street-it's not as if she made the world a better place.

It was prob suicide, seeing how she lost her son, she prob wanted to be with him.

It's sad to hear the passing of someone, even so young and especially for those who she's leaving behind. Of course the world won't mourn as if she is George Bailey or something along those lines but still I think it's a little too soon to be joking about this or discussing how she died.

^ If im not mistaken isnt George Bailey the main dude from It's a Wonderful Life? In the show he was a hero. Frank Capra did the movie - when movies first started off, he made some of the best.

Bahaha, GS is right, George Bailey was from the classic It's A Wonderful Life. Essentially he was a guy who did everything to make the world a better place and got nothing for it. You might recognise the premise as it started the whole, "what if I was never born" idea that's been used in a countless number of shows.

It was made in 1946 but after recently watching it, it's rapidly become one of my favourite movies of all time, just such a feel good movie.

ow, such a different vibe to Steve Irwin thread. I hear the faint sounds of Double Standards a yonder.

I loved Anna Nicole Smith and I think a lot of you are going for the easy jabs. Are any of you aware that she cried for 3 hours everyday since her son died?

I think in a way its a good thing, because she was constantly in and out of court over the money from her late husband, the press giving her shit for everything whilst being a mother? That's tough.

Big thumbs down Obs and Cap...

[celerystalksme]

A starving kid in Africa dies every three 3 seconds and has to put up with a lot more problems in their entire lifespan of 6 years than Anna Nicole Smith would had to of put up with if she lived to be 60 or 70.

Did you know 4 American Troops died in Iraq just the day before? One of them was a young 20 year old girl, Cpl. Jennifer M. Parcell.

She married an 80 year old for money, she did a huge amount of drugs, she posed nude for a magazine...what the f**k did she ever do? Just because she is a celebrity doesn't mean the whole world has to stop and mourn her loss.

Plus as Obs pointed out, if it was suicide, she had a 5 month year old girl and i bet to god any money the same people having a go at Obs and Cap would be the same people taking the easy jabs and condeming a junkie mother from Bankstown if she commited suicide while she had a 5 month old baby.

[Sin Ogaris]

Actually it's debatable whether a starving african kid has to deal with any problems, given that their environment is the direct cause of their misfortune and their environment doesn't change they wouldn't know any other way. So a child there wouldn't necessarily look at these "problems" as such, they'd look at it merely as life. Unless of course they have World Vision cameras in their faces or photographers taking pictures of them to chuck in the latest National Geographic. Although I would likely attribute the alien objects in their World to create more problems than their misfortunes.

As a result ANS has likely "suffered" at least on an emotional level more than said child who dies at the age of 6. Now, I'm not one to really mourn either, I will recognise the deaths of each and hope that somehow I will be able to make a difference (I give monthly but frankly I feel that's a bit of a copout and so when I have the time I will aim to do more) in the future, however for now a death is a death and to be brutally honest once a person is dead there isn't a whole lot to do. Sure I could say the obligatory comments like:

R.I.P.
S/he was much loved and will be sorely missed.
S/he made a huge difference and will never be forgotten.

However in the grand scheme of things me showing sympathy via text on a screen isn't really a spectacular feat of compassion for a celebrity or otherwise.

[celerystalksme]

Yes, i admit i didn't look at it that way regarding the starving children (everytime i say those words, i think of family guy when Peter and Bono are on a deserted island) and you do have a very valid point.

Anyway yes Anna Nicole Smith has suffered on an emotional level...hell we all have at least once in our lives. Its not that i hate Anna Nicole Smith...i don't even know her that well and im not really one to delve into celebrity gossip and i think the only time i have ever seen her mentioned is on the news when she does stupid attention seeking stuff and the most i've ever read about her was after she passed away...i just think suicide (thats if her death really is suicide...i know only a few will ever know the truth) is one of the most unforgivable things (before people jump down my throat with stories...this is my opinion and i have lost family to suicide as well as friends and i am not a highly religous person...i am most probally more Agnostic than anything else).

In the end the loss of life is always tragic and there will be a lot of people out there that are mourning her passing away...i guess im also one not to mourn over just anybody. I think the reason for my rant in the first place is because everyone is allowed to have a difference opinion when it comes to most aspects of life...but the moral majority always seem to push their beliefs when it comes to death and we have to hold everyone as a shining example of a human being once they are deceased.

I think im actually more suprised at there being an intellectual debate in a topic about Anna Nicole Smith.

[Sin Ogaris]

I most definitely agree on the suicide front and yes I also know people who have opted for that route, as a result I still don't really forgive them for that.

I'm in a bit of a grey area when it comes to having faith in people but I choose to reserve judgement on the woman for now, of course if it does result in suicide I will likely not return to this topic for fear of being banned but in any case for now I'm going to compose myself and think of that aspect of her mind which hadn't been destroyed by substance abuse and hope nay, believe, that she didn't destroy her child's life.

As for intellectual debate, I'm just always itching for a good quality, long winded (bit of an oxymoron but I'm sure you'll get over it) discussion.

[celerystalksme]

I only realised i typed debate...i did mean to type discussion...well it is very early morning. I was hesitant on bringing up the whole suicide topic as it does get people very worked up...especially people who have lost and deal with it a lot differently than what i have. I would go into the suicide topic further but i don't think this is the right thread to do so, especially seeing as it could possibly be anything that killed her. Also i don't know the mods stance on whether the topic should be discussed in the first place.

I think we wont find out the prelim results for another day or two and seeing as it is Anna Nicole Smith it will be dragged out for months most probally (and thats not her fault, i know).

[Nick]

The difference is that starving kids in Africa don't get shit about them dying, whereas she does.

Suicide, OD etc - regardless of what it is, you would have no idea what is going on behind the scenes of all her shit. Furthermore, even if she did commit suicide, where is the evidence that people in 3rd world countries don't commit suicide and leave children behind?

And yes we all have emotional problems, but ours aren't amplified 10-fold in the press.

And I'm not mourning her, I just think its very tragic and people are being really hard on her, when none of you have the right to pass judgement and you are doing so without knowing all the facts (and like celery said, we probably never will know all the facts).

[Matt3]

^
i completely agree with you, i dont think anyone should be hard on her because as nick said her life mustve been hell. being known as something she probably didnt want to be known as (a pornstar with big boobs), her son dying and all this media shit. yea she did leave behind a little child but if you had children and lost a son/daughter you would probably feel like being with them but she was the type of person that couldnt handle it. so some people are calling her selfish for doing this but was she that selfish to kill herself to be her son? i dont find that really selfish.

[Big Pete]

Yeah I'm sick of this whole "why should we care, all these other people died and we don't care about them do we?" fact is someone died, you atleast have to respect the dead, it's the morals behind it. I just find it utter disrespect from some people who just bad mouth them and so on. I can understand if you don't mourn for those like Saddam Hussein or someone of his stature but someone like ANS or Steve Irwin don't deserve some of the crude jokes they received just hours or days after they died, it's just too soon.

I agree with a lot of points Nick made.
