Thedelldays Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 now that she is going to show the whole world he plight... was thinking...is this really needed.. on one hand it will highlight what somone goes through and will secure money for her loved ones.. on the other hand I dont really want to have her all over the media ........she is s a repulsive person and wish kept her dignity and do this with just her family...

I can see your point, but each to their own. She has the media. You have SWF.
Ponty Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Let's not start on her ffs TDD. SHe's got a few weeks to live and she's trying to make sure her kids are provided for as best as possible. Can't we just leave it at that?

SHe's got a few weeks to live and she's trying to make sure her kids are provided for as best as possible. Can't we just leave it at that? who is starting on her..? at point have I give an opinion..? surely this provokes a bigger bit of thinking about us in general..? real news is put aside while we cant get enough of goody and a 13 year old dad..?
chocco boxo Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Whole story is really sad, hopefully her boys will be well cared for. No one deserves that.
Ponty Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 who is starting on her..? at point have I give an opinion..? was thinking...is this really needed.. ...
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Ironic that her TV show is on Living TV :shock:
Thedelldays Posted 17 February, 2009 Author Posted 17 February, 2009 ... do you really think that is starting on her..? that is nothing..trust me
Thedelldays Posted 17 February, 2009 Author Posted 17 February, 2009 Whatever gets you through the day mate. what are you on about...this very subject has been on alot of the radio talk sbows...local and national asking this very question..?
Jillyanne Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 My colleague died aged 30 last week of pancreatic cancer (yes I know Jade does not have the same cancer) and it is very very sad to die at such a young age. Christ my colleague was only diagnosed at christmas and dead last monday, sad times. He wasn't even in hospital.
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 what are you on about...this very subject has been on alot of the radio talk sbows...local and national asking this very question..? FWIW I agree with you. I find [found, in the past tense before she became terminally ill, too], the women to be vile and a pretty damn good indicator of all that is wrong with this country! For her to get national TV coverage of her plight is morally reprehensible [iMHO], and I for one couldn't care less about it!! Yes, it's sad that she's leaving behind some children, but they have other family members that can [and maybe will], look after them. And guess what, she isn't the first, and nor will she be the last person in the country to die of "Kaaanccaaa". It happens, people die - in fact apart from the Government wanting taxes from you, it is the only other certainty in this life!! - get over it, and spend your remaining time on this planet with your loved ones, rather than parading yourself all over the TV. Despite what Ponty thinks, this TV program will help absolutely no-one on the planet, except to satisfy Goody's ego!
Ponty Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 By "Whatever gets you through the day", I mean that I just can't see a single, valid reason to knock her. Yes, she's clearly not the most intelligent or articulate of people, Channel 4 made sure we all knew that, in glorious edit-o-vision, but she seems to be honest and open about her motives for bringing the story to TV now. If you want to blame anyone for her mug being all over the news, the papers and the TV, blame the society which swallows all the crap the media churns out, don't blame a dying woman for wanting to provide the best possible future for her, soon to be motherless, sons. I think it's crass and churlish to want to find fault in anyone doing that, but if that's ok with you (and, from the experience of the thread that popped up when she was originally diagnosed, we know that's how this one's going to go) then you go for it. I wouldn't presume to tell you how to feel about something. This is a messageboard, not Communist China.
scott_saints Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 No offence Ponteh but get off your high horse for a second!! He didn't have a go at her at all and actually gave a balanced view of both sides of how her situation could be seen.

He didn't have a go at her at all and actually gave a balanced view of both sides of how her situation could be seen. I also thought TDD was having a pop at the fact that her plight is plastered all over the TV, but hey, I guess Ponty sees it differently!
Ludwig Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 No offence Ponteh but get off your high horse for a second!! He didn't have a go at her at all and actually gave a balanced view of both sides of how her situation could be seen. Get off your moral ant.
Ponty Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Clearly. Anyway, you guys have fun. I'm leaving this one now.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 I haven't spent long reading or looking into the Goody sad story as I tend to allow these kind of stories to eat away at me. The other day something was said to me that JG had an abnormal smear test and was sent a letter to go back for another one and she didn't bother. I am not saying it is her fault at all but if her televised ordeal now serves to educate just one other woman about the the perils of this disease then it has served it's purpose, and if it helps secure a better future for her children along the way then that's okay in my book too.
Ludwig Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Don't be a bunch of c*nts. She has come out and stated that she wants her kids to have the opportunities that she didn't - foremost being an education. She has unashamedly said that she will make whatever money she can in her last few months for them to have this. Fair play to her. Her intentions are impeccable despite what you think of her. If that was me, I'd do the same and I wouldn't give a sh*t what a bunch of mugs on an internet forum thought of me. If the opportunity was there for you to do the same for your family and you'd had her upbringing, don't tell me you wouldn't jump at the chance. Don't forget that, for her, reality TV saved her life. It got her out of her ****ty life and gave her opportunities. Why should she not turn to this in her dying days. It is the place where she feels comfortable; happy. I'm sure if thedelldays were dying, he'd want to spend at least a few of his last days hedonistically confined to a small cabin with sweaty men.

Where did she spend her formative years so that she was DENIED the opportunity to go to school?
ozzmeister Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 I think im in the fair play to her camp. I think its an awful thing that a human being with so much energy and zest for life can be struck down at such a young age. She has been a good mother, supportive wife, charity worker. Yes she has her downfalls but so do we all. I for one will be a little sad when Jade Goody is gone!
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 She has been a good mother, supportive wife, charity worker. in glorious edit-o-vision, ...
Ludwig Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 What a complete load of nonsense!! Where did she spend her formative years so that she was DENIED the opportunity to go to school? Don't be so naive. Living in an environment in which a great education is not the norm, it's difficult to place priority on such a thing, the importance of it is something realised later in life - which she obviously now has.
saintwarwick Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 FWIW I agree with you. I find [found, in the past tense before she became terminally ill, too], the women to be vile and a pretty damn good indicator of all that is wrong with this country!

Despite what Ponty thinks, this TV program will help absolutely no-one on the planet, except to satisfy Goody's ego! I think this post sums up the thread, yes it's sad she has cancer but thousands die from this terrible disease every year. How she ever got famous in the first place is beyond me but what she should be doing now is spending the last weeks of her life with her family and not parading herself all over the media.

Surely how she wishes to face the ultimate goodbye is up to her and her alone?
swannymere Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 She is a thoroughly repugnant human being, having cancer doesn't make her any better or worse than she was before; for people to suddenly feel sorry for her now smacks of Princess Di syndrome.

TBF if I was in her situation I would also do my best to secure the futures of my children. I don't like it but I can see why she is doing it.
Pancake Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Do people really begrudge her using the links she has to the media in order to (a) help herself, (b) help others and © raise awareness?

People suddenly feel sorry for her because she is dying of cancer! She's still a repugnant person IMO but nobody should wish death on someone, certainly someone as (relatively) inoffensive as Goody.
Hatch Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 There's no point in having a go at Jade Goody for becoming the 'celeb' that she is. Blame all the fVkking morons that buy the magazines that she is in. It's those people who are the sad low lifes that all they can aspire to is maybe one day having the same hair cut as Goody/Katona/Beckham/Halliwell/Winehouse etc etc

Durleyfos Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 I don't like her, but I don't begrudge her trying to make a better life for her family in the best way she knows how. If her face is plasrered all over teh front page of a newspaper, I'll just buy one without her on.
Saint Keith Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 she sums up all that is wrong with this country and the world will be a better place without her in it. and her boys will be better off growing up without her as a role model
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Do people really begrudge her using the links she has to the media in order to (a) help herself, (b) help others and © raise awareness? She isn't raising awareness of kaaaancccaaaa though is she? She's raising awareness of the fact that she has kaancaaaa. I really wouldn't care less what she did or didn't do with her life, as long as every other bloody advert on the tellybox didn't have her ugly mug on it!!

Pancake Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 She isn't raising awareness of kaaaancccaaaa though is she? She's raising awareness of the fact that she has kaancaaaa. I really wouldn't care less what she did or didn't do with her life, as long as every other bloody advert on the tellybox didn't have her ugly mug on it!! Sky reported that "awareness" of cervical cancer in girls of school age had increased by "200%" since Jade's announcement. And to be honest, I dont care how much people think someone is a ****; if you see someone on TV, in a newspaper... or in "real life" dying of cancer, you WILL be more aware of it yourself and check yourself/have yourself checked more, even that only lasts for a few months whilst it is in the media. That is only human nature. As for the comment about her in adverts, I can honestly say I dont recall seeing her in a advert in last 3 years. I either watch less TV that you WSS, or I dont watch the channels that pay her to be in their programs. Dont shout at the system if you are part of the problem.
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Sky reported that "awareness" of cervical cancer in girls of school age had increased by "200%" since Jade's announcement. Justification for another program?
Pancake Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 (edited) Justification for another program? You can see it in that very cynical way if you want, or just for once you could try and see something in the world for good. FFS mate, forget that she is Jade Goody (or however you spell it) for a moment and remember that she is a human being with 2 young kids. Edited 17 February, 2009 by Pancake too many sakes
skintsaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Wondered why I managed to buy her hairdryer off Ebay for $20, thought it was a bargain at the time.
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 FFS sake mate, forget that she is Jade Goody (or however you spell it) for a moment and remember that she is a human being with 2 young kids. Karen Matthews.....
Pancake Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Karen Matthews..... Are you saying Jade is faking her own death to get money and publicity. Whats next, Godwins Law?
hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Karen Matthews..... How are the two comparable?
scott_saints Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 How are the two comparable? Female Ugly
saint_stevo Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 This is all a bit of a disgrace really. A young mother too 2 kids is dying here FFS
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Are you saying Jade is faking her own death to get money and publicity. Whats next, Godwins Law? No. I'm just pointing out Karen Matthews is also a human being with young children....
Iowsaintsfan Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 My colleague died aged 30 last week of pancreatic cancer (yes I know Jade does not have the same cancer) and it is very very sad to die at such a young age. Christ my colleague was only diagnosed at christmas and dead last monday, sad times. He wasn't even in hospital. I had a simular thing happen at my work, except the guy was a bit older but i left for my Xmas break and he was fine came back and he was in the hospice! - couldnt believe it!
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 This is all a bit of a disgrace really. A young mother too 2 kids is dying here FFS Meanwhile somewhere else in the country / other countries / other planets, hundreds, if not thousands of other young mothers are dying leaving 2 kids. It's disgraceful, we should stop these deaths from happening : roll :
