Jigga-what?

Not only them, but lots of octogenerians, too.

I found her silly, at best, but I wouldn't have wished death on her.

Confirmed.

O.D.?

Probably.

...Wha?

An already ugly inheritance fight just got a fuckload uglier, and the lawyers are going to be the ones to get rich off it.

CNN says:
Anna Nicole Smith taken to hospital after being found unconscious in her Florida hotel room, officials say. Details soon.

CNN says:
Anna Nicole Smith taken to hospital after being found unconscious in her Florida hotel room, officials say. Details soon.

MSNBC's site quoted "an official" as saying "it doesn't look good."

OK, now CNN says:
Anna Nicole Smith dies after being found unconscious in her hotel room, a law enforcement source says.

I didn't like her, but I wouldn't wish death on her...

CNN says: (CNN) -- Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead Thursday after being taken to a Florida hospital after being found unconscious in her hotel room, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the case told CNN.

Maybe her son's death was too much for her in the end...

Maybe her son's death was too much for her in the end...

Her so died?

She's just a tragic figure, somewhat like Lollo Ferrari here in Europe some years ago.

Wow.. I didn't like the gold digging harpy, but I'm amazed she died.

Her so died?If I recall right...

Anna Nicole Smith Found Unresponsive In Hotel Room
Slideshow: Anna Nicole Smith's Odd Life

(CBS) MIAMI Anna Nicole Smith has been found unresponsive in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., WFOR-TV is reporting.

She has been reportedly taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just have 2 p.m. ET. after a witness says paramedics were pumping her chest when they took her out of the hotel.

Smith, born 39 years ago as Vickie Lynn Hogan, grew up in Mexia, Texas, a town of about 7,000 people located 86 miles south of Dallas. She married at 17, had a son, Daniel, divorced her husband and moved to Houston.

The past year has been a turbulent one for Smith. She's currently facing a paternity suit filed by her ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the father of her infant daughter, Dannielynn. She was born Sept. 7 in the Bahamas. Smith's son, Daniel, 20, died suddenly just days after the baby's birth.

"Larry is devastated," Debra Opri, a lawyer for Birkhead, told CNN. "We hear it's very serious. I've never heard Larry so concerned, he's concerned about Anna and he's concerned about the child."

An already ugly inheritance fight just got a fuckload uglier, and the lawyers are going to be the ones to get rich off it.

Tru dat.

I usually say "thanks for the" whatever here, but I didn't like her that much, I didn't even find her all that attractive, trimspa or no. But in a way I kinda feel sorry for her, so it's too bad.

Her so died?
yep, three days after Dannilyn's birth.

OD I think his COD was.

Sad...

The statment doesn't compute. Anna doesn't die. Brad Pitt doesn't die. The old guys die. Stephen Hawkings dies, Bob Barker dies.

Jesus Christ, seriously? Wow. First her son, then her...this is sad. Post-partum depression/losing her son?

Who? :confused:

Jesus Christ, seriously? Wow. First her son, then her...this is sad. Post-partum depression/losing her son?And the paternity law suit over her daughter.

Who? :confused:
the stripper who married the Rich old dude who died shortly after their wedding. she had a long legal battle concerning her hubby's estate and the hubby's other relatives.

she married her lawyer friend and gave birth to her daughter... shortly after, her son, Daniel, died.

did they ever force her bf to give DNA for that paternity test?

did they ever force her bf to give DNA for that paternity test?I guess, the question would rather have been whether Anna would have allowed law enforcement to collect cell/dna samples from her daughter

I guess, the question would rather have been whether Anna would have allowed law enforcement to collect cell/dna samples from her daughter
oh. Well, if ya asked me, I thought her lawyer friend was a bastard. But then again, she's like every other shallow bitch on this planet. Sorry to sound mean and rude and all that, but she (anna nicole) probably deserved to die.

This isn't like when Will Farrel was reported to be dead last spring is it?

:(

did they ever force her bf to give DNA for that paternity test?

one court ordered the sample from the daughter... but another court blocked it.

one court ordered the sample from the daughter... but another court blocked it.
Damn. Hopefully, the child will consent to the DNA testing herself when she comes of age.

Anna Nicole Smith is dead

It's as if a great pair of headlights had suddenly gone dark forever.




Her child should be raised by Michael Jackson in a reality show.

Paramedics were seen pumping her chest as she was taken from the hotel.
:D

its very sad. she was only 39 years old, just had had a baby, had her son die before her eyes.

i listened to a bit of an interview with her on tv last night. she sure sounded drugged up. *shrug*

guess her husband will have to try to get her inheritance from her other husband. i hope he saves some for her daughter.

It's as if a great pair of funbags had suddenly deflated forever.
Fixed. ;)

Yes, I'm mean. Sue me. :p

I wonder if some of that old dead guy's rightful heirs got sick of her gold digging and put some of their money to effective work.

oh. Well, if ya asked me, I thought her lawyer friend was a bastard. But then again, she's like every other shallow bitch on this planet. Sorry to sound mean and rude and all that, but she (anna nicole) probably deserved to die.
Ah, yes, because everyone you deem to be shallow and a bitch clearly deserves to die.

I only just saw the story on some other site and the first comment of 50 on the article said "GOOD RIDDANCE!".

Nobody doing the commenting even knew this person in real life, much less cared about her. So how come people get all hate-filled and derisive and unbearably, pathetically smug and self-righteous now? Saying someone "deserves to die", "Good riddance!" just because she was a blond bimbo always in the media? I don't get it. Don't want to, either.

Yes, I'm mean. Sue me. :p

You're not mean. You're just very sad.

You're not mean. You're just very sad.
Glad to hear! :D

I'm sorry, but I need to say this:

Why is this news?

Yes, it's sad. Yes, it's tragic. Any new mother who dies at a young age is a tragedy. But why is this important enough, or interesting enough, that EVERY media outlet is talking about it, or will be talking about it in the near future? Isn't there more...I dunno, useful news available for everyone to talk about?

There, I'm done. I tried to keep the rant short.

That was actually one of my first thoughts too....

If I recall right...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Nicole_Smith#Death_of_sonWhat scares me about this is that the first thought of some porn geek is 'omg, I must update the wiki with this news'. It's been like 4 hours since she died and already wiki has been updated. Some people really do have no life.

edit: that vague pun was unintentional. I beg forgiveness.

Ah, yes, because everyone you deem to be shallow and a bitch clearly deserves to die.

.

Let me say just this:

I despise the gold-digging types with all I've got. It's nothing but voluntary prostitution to me. I did not respect this woman too much, that's as mild as I can put it.

That doesn't mean I wished her dead or take pleasure in her death.

Requiescat In Pace.

so what happens to the baby girl she had

so what happens to the baby girl she had

smith married her lawyer and claimed him as the father of the baby. her ex boyfriend insists that HE is the actual father and is trying to claim paternity. no paternity tests have been done.

depending on how their marriage was set up, if they had a prenup or not, the baby may be the sole beneficiary of smith's estate which could still be added to by a judgement in her suit against her late husbands estate.

so what happens to the baby girl she had

Well I guess the baby will be raised by its father. Once of course it is figured out who is the father. It will also probably enjoy a somewhat normal life.

I can honestly say that I don't care that she croaked.

Wow. First William Hung, now her. It's been an odd year.

I'm sorry, but I need to say this:

Because the American media thinks it's breaking news that some bimbo died.

Wow. First William Hung, now her. It's been an odd year.

William Hung is dead?!!! :eek:

The statment doesn't compute. Anna doesn't die. Brad Pitt doesn't die. The old guys die. Stephen Hawkings dies, Bob Barker dies.
Bob Barker will never die :(

As for this story, I'll say the same thing I did when I first heard: That sucks, but why is it worth a headline?

smith married her lawyer and claimed him as the father of the baby. her ex boyfriend insists that HE is the actual father and is trying to claim paternity. no paternity tests have been done.

i guess we found out when the time cames

Wow, I was listening to the blood track by my chemical romance as I read this.....

William Hung is dead?!!! :eek:

WHAT?!

Edit: Nope, he's still alive.

oh. Well, if ya asked me, I thought her lawyer friend was a bastard. But then again, she's like every other shallow bitch on this planet. Sorry to sound mean and rude and all that, but she (anna nicole) probably deserved to die.

That's an absolutely awful statement, especially when all you see is what the media shows you. :rolleyes: Shame on you. No one deserves death, no matter how much you dislike them.

William Hung is dead?!!! :eek:

WHAT?!

Edit: Nope, he's still alive.Oops. Sorry, just a rumor.

She didn't really deserve it. She might've killed herself, over her son's death.

That's an absolutely awful statement, especially when all you see is what the media shows you. :rolleyes: Shame on you. No one deserves death, no matter how much you dislike them.
That's why I said "probably." Sorry.
She didn't really deserve it. She might've killed herself, over her son's death.
Probably, but when I first heard, I quickly assumed that it was Broken Heart Syndrome that killed her, not suicide.

oh. Well, if ya asked me, I thought her lawyer friend was a bastard. But then again, she's like every other shallow bitch on this planet. Sorry to sound mean and rude and all that, but she (anna nicole) probably deserved to die.

she may have been a greedy pos,but i dont wish death on anyone.
well maybe pedophiles,but the fact is,she hurt no one except those that allowed themselves to be hurt(and that is suspect)

it seems she may have overdosed,and i remember she just lost a child,so it seems the 2 things may have been related,and if that is true..then it would seem that she had some form of a heart.

don't get me wrong,aside from being a total twit,i also thought she was a greedy gold digger...which i despise...but to die for being greedy?
we would lose half the worlds population overnight if that was an appropriate punishment.
now unsightly warts and poverty...ok...
but death..nah

now as far as the lawyers go....just kidding.

Well, I don't wish death upon her but I can't say I really feel sorry for her.

The statment doesn't compute. Anna doesn't die. Brad Pitt doesn't die. The old guys die. Stephen Hawkings dies, Bob Barker dies.

She was my age. That's disconcerting.

Half the world's population is a huge understatement. We'd lose practically everyone.

Post partum depression is probably one of the most overlooked disorders now-a-days.

Ah, yes, because everyone you deem to be shallow and a bitch clearly deserves to die.

Best post in this thread, FTW.

*And another one bites the dust... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_one_bites_the_dust)*

...No one deserves death, no matter how much you dislike them.

I was just about to agree with you.... But then I thought of Paris Hilton. I need to think on it some more.

...na und?

I mean okay, what a shame that she's dead, but so what? Didn't know her personally, don't really care.

MSNBC's site quoted "an official" as saying "it doesn't look good."
She never did.

...na und?

I mean okay, what a shame that she's dead, but so what? Didn't know her personally, don't really care.

Then if you dont care, your post was absolutely unnecessary, eh?

It's called caring about people, whether you've met them or not.

For her family, her friends, and for her daughter.

its very sad. she was only 39 years old, just had had a baby, had her son die before her eyes.

i listened to a bit of an interview with her on tv last night. she sure sounded drugged up. *shrug*

guess her husband will have to try to get her inheritance from her other husband. i hope he saves some for her daughter.it will be a hard battle for him, since Anna was the one with the ties to inherit.

I'm sorry, but I need to say this:

There, I'm done. I tried to keep the rant short.because she is a media figure.

Already done so. Made no difference.

Already done so. Made no difference.


Then that's truly sad.

Still makes no sense to me, but whatever.

i like your posts e/m
i think you miss the point.

if you dont care about this person..at all...why post?
if you have an opinion,by all means post it.

alot of people are saying good riddance to a women they have never met,don't know other then what they are spoonfed by the media(which she sure did cultivate)but the fact remains..she died...and that is sad..she was a mother and a daughter and a friend to some...and out of respect,i feel it is wrong to speak ill of the dead.
not that you spoke ill of her,but if you dont care..then dont care,if you have an insight..then great.

i myself,from what i have read about her,would not like her one bit...but i certainly would not wish her dead.
cause we all know...the media aint exactly accurate on their portrayals of people.

*snip*
Eh, I'm just curious what all the fuss is about.

Then that's truly sad.
Okay.

Still makes no sense to me, but whatever.
It's all about the monkey sphere.

For a while I thought a hotel had collapsed on her, instead of her collapsing in a hotel.

Someone wanna' explain to me who in the hell is she?

Bloody hell, there are some absolute fucking bastards in this thread.

The story just broke on CNN. No details yet.

*millions of 14-year-old boys worldwide weep*

Not really flames, seeing as they didn't point to anyone specific.

Ah.

Someone wanna' explain to me who in the hell is she?

she's some slag that fooled an old rich guy into marrying her 2 months before he died, and persuaded him to leave all his money to her. then got challenged by his kids and said gross things in court.

How so? You should back up your flames.

These'll do:

Yeah, I don't care if it gets me a warning, or banned, but it's true. Anybody who expresses a sentiment along the lines of any of the above about the death of a fellow human being who, at the end of the day, has hardly done anything horrendous, is a fucking bastard.

So not caring makes me a "fucking bastard"? Alright.

Yup. Enjoy it.

God it'd be hilarious to see these kind of reactions to what some people said in the Milton Friedman RIP thread (who, unlike moi, did not merely profess to not caring but insulted the man). Will do though.

No... it's all the other little things you do... :D
Enlighten me.

Weren't you one of the people who was saying how great it was Saddam got hanged?

...na und?

I mean okay, what a shame that she's dead, but so what? Didn't know her personally, don't really care.Whether or not the death of somebody is tragic doesn't depend on whether or not you knew them personally.

Weren't you one of the people who was saying how great it was Saddam got hanged?

Are you suggesting that what Saddam had done wasn't horrendous?

Weren't you one of the people who was saying how great it was Saddam got hanged?


Comparing Sadaam and Anna Nicole Smith is a pretty awful comparison, not even close to having anything in common. You could've picked about 99% of the rest of the world, and they would've been a better comparison.

Weren't you one of the people who was saying how great it was Saddam got hanged?

Maybe in some alternate universe. I'm 100% against the death penalty, for anyone.

Weren't you one of the people who was saying how great it was Saddam got hanged?
Oh, well. That's different. He was an evil brutal man.
Also he wasn't white and didn't have his own reality TV show, see?


I must say, I find it incredible how these ppl who are going on about how we should care about someone we don't know, have never met and have nothing in common with manage to get anything done. They must just lie in bed the entire day weeping copiously about the 10s of thousands of African and Asian children who die each day.
Which perhaps explains why they never make threads about them - obviously they can't focus through their tears nor control their shaking hands long enough to post.

Whether or not the death of somebody is tragic doesn't depend on whether or not you knew them personally.
Isn't every death tragic, in its own way?

I don't recall ever hearing about anyone's death, celebrity or otherwise, and thinking, "Ho-hum... what an average death... *yawn*"

Whether or not the death of somebody is tragic doesn't depend on whether or not you knew them personally.
Yet whether or not it will affect me, does.

Oh, well. That's different. He was an evil brutal man.

Yeah, and you're a fucktard :)

Well, what can I say, I do more than my bit to try and help those less fortunate who have shitty lives or meet early deaths through preventable diseases.
Which perhaps explains why they never make threads about them - obviously they can't focus through their tears nor control their shaking hands long enough to post.

Because, frankly, it would be of little value on this forum. People know what's going on, bringing it up again won't help. It'll just be one more thing for some to ignore.

We aren't asking you to cry and mourn about it for days on end, we're simply asking that people give her the respect that she deserves (whether you liked her or not), and not say "Who gives a shit, I didnt know her." There's a difference between respectfully acknowledging someone's death and going out of your way to be disrespectful.

Enlighten me.

It was a joke. Sorry if I came off like a fucking Bastard.

I don't recall ever hearing about anyone's death, celebrity or otherwise, and thinking, "Ho-hum... what an average death... *yawn*"Lol. Yes, exactly, every death is tragic, in its own way.

Yet whether or not it will affect me, does.Whether or not it affects you has no bearing on whether or not it's tragic.

Am I the only one who hates the "Act like they were a god among men" stage when someone dies? I can't wait until it's over.

We aren't asking you to cry and mourn about it for days on end, we're simply asking that people give her the respect that she deserves
There lies the issue:
as far as I'm concerned, she deserves no respect. She was a white-trash attention-seeking bimbo who polluted the airways and media with her tasteless lowest-common denominator chavish antics.

It's difficult to think of anything positive she contributed to society, except possibly lowering the bar of tastelessness to the point where anything we do looks good and decent in comparison.

Eh, I'm just curious what all the fuss is about.


Okay.

well snip aside....i was just saying you have said nothing wrong,i was just curious as to why you need to even comment on someone "you dont care about"
no big mystery....i find it interesting that you have posted this long about someone that means nothing to you...?
i mean she dont mean shit to me either...but i dont like the lack of respect for the dead....whether they are perfect humans or not.

i know we all are perfect and whatnot...shit i am listenening to crazy maze ...that makes me deep and all...but really...why bother if she means nothing to you?

Whether or not it affects you has no bearing on whether or not it's tragic.
Tragic for those who knew (and actually liked) her, and for her fans, sure.

Am I the only one who hates the "Act like they were a god among men" stage when someone dies? I can't wait until it's over.
No, you're not, and neither can I.

Then like I said, if you don't like her, don't comment about how you dont care that she's dead in here. Leave it to people who actually care about the topic.

Again, there's a point where you can respectfully acknowledge her death, which doesn't require you to do... well... anything; then there's also continuing to insult her after her death (you're welcome to not like her and to have an opinion like everyone here does, but good God, have a bit of respect here, for the dead.)

Am I the only one who hates the "Act like they were a god among men" stage when someone dies? I can't wait until it's over.

Hmm... not once have I seen that in this thread. Exaggeration perhaps?

no big mystery....i find it interesting that you have posted this long about someone that means nothing to you...?

Trying to find out why people care enough about her to make a thread for her specifically, and not for all the other dead out there. Sort of like the obsession with Paris Hilton, I do not get it.

oh. Well, if ya asked me, I thought her lawyer friend was a bastard. But then again, she's like every other shallow bitch on this planet. Sorry to sound mean and rude and all that, but she (anna nicole) probably deserved to die.

Did you even think about what this statement says about *you* before you posted it?

You're not mean. You're just very sad.

I have to agree with Fassigen. The Plutonian Empire's comments, as are some others in here, are simply gross.

The world is still turning! Wooooohoooo---!!!!! :p

So, what? I had no respect for her while she was living but I'm now meant to respect her simply because she's dead?
Last time I checked, it wasn't particularly difficult to achieve that state so I fail to see how Anna getting there is worthy of respect.
Personally I much rather be accused of being a callous bastard than a hypocrite.

So please forgive me if I save my respect for someone who actually enhanced our society in some positive way.

its amazing she lasted this long.

eh, it sucks she died before she managed to do anything decent with her life. i should imagine she was a very depressed, and pretty fucked up, woman by the end, what with her son dying of an overdose right next to her a year or so ago, and probably facing the realisation that she's been something of a holywood joke for years. sucks to be her, sucks to be her family. her death is tragic because of what she might have managed had she lived to turned her life around, as any early death is tragic. no one deserves to die. RIP anna nicole smith.

what you said..lol...but reallly.

Wow.. I didn't like the gold digging harpy, but I'm amazed she died.

at least she was upfront of her intentions in some way- she was funny
rest her soul- sucks for the new born:confused:

She ranked just behind Fidel Castro on my list of people whose deaths would immensely please me, although Art Modell, Nick Lachey and Paris Hilton take the top three.

I hope she didn't go out on a speedball. That would ruin the Belushi legacy.

Welcome to the league of "fucking bastards". I can assure you, you're also a member now. :fluffle:

Greatly pleased to have a solid confirmation of membership *bows* :D

She didn't really deserve it. She might've killed herself, over her son's death.
Or those weight-loss pills caused heart problems.

I didn't like her, but didn't want her to die... Unlike John Ritter.

It seems everyone around her dropped dead before she did. Talk about being cursed.

The things I hate about Anna Nicole Smith:
Gold digging
The way she acted on her "reality" TV show, I mean my God, I probably have a higher IQ than her.
That annoying laugh of hers.

However, with that being said, I believe that Anna Nicole committed suicide by OD, and honestly, I can't blame her. I mean she lost her son, she lost something that was close to her that came out of her, and when you lose something like that, you just never fully recover from it. I've seen mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, children who commit suicide when they lose someone close to them. God knows what I'd be like if I lost a child of my own or my wife. It would be VERY hard for me to live day to day and I would just be a completely different person.

So while I didn't like Anna in life, and thought that she was a gold digging, big breasted, annoying bimbo, at least I can sympathize on the level of a mother losing a son, espically when he died right next to you.

I was talking to a person that works in a Subway in the little parking area about Anna Nicole, and she said "Aw, how sad for her kid."

Honestly, I think I wouldnt want to have Anna Nicole Smith as my mother as much as a dead Anna Nicole Smith as my mother... *shiver*

I despise the gold-digging types with all I've got. It's nothing but voluntary prostitution to me. I did not respect this woman too much, that's as mild as I can put it.
If the gold digging is done with some form of deception, then it is not like prostitution. If both parties know where they stand, then there is a greater resemblence to prostitution, and it's not something I see as a problem. Judging from your comment it appears you despise prostitutes (since the resemblence between gold-diggers and prostitutes appears to be your reason for dispising gold-diggers). I cannot imagine why.


In regards to some of the posts in this thread....
I'm shocked at the comments along the lines that she deserved it, or it's a good thing, or that it brings pleasure. That's really nasty and frankly rather worrying. I can understand not particularly caring, but to actually think it's a good thing, or deserved, or worse to take actual pleasure, that goes beyond marcarbe, it's frankly sick. Maybe some of you people might want to consider some kind of therapy before we read about your socio-pathic tendencies on the evening news.

Did you even think about what this statement says about *you* before you posted it?

I have to agree with Fassigen. The Plutonian Empire's comments, as are some others in here, are simply gross.
So I'm a bitter, fucking bastard. Sue me. :p

Where's those T-shirts for the "fucking bastard" club?! :p

The thing I liked about Anna Nicole Smith was that she always knew exactly what she was: A ditsy blonde with immense breasts. She never tried to be anything else. I respect that.

On the other hand, she has inadvertently make numerous lawyers mind numbingly rich due to the inheritance lawsuit to end all inheritance lawsuits. And now with a four month old daughter, a paternity suit, a questionable marriage AND the inheritance lawsuit, she should receive the Lifetime Achivement Award from Lawyers of America. For that, I wish she got hit by a truck shortly after her first appearance in Playboy. :p

Still, one has to admit that in death, as in life, she is getting way more attention than she deserves. :p

I had just watched a movie with ANS in it before I heard, and I still feel icky.

Tis' always not a good thing to see one die generally, and I do send my condolences to her friends and relatives, but I don't know much of her. Alas, may she rest in peace.

No offense, none taken. I may have been unclear.

There is a big difference between gold digging and ordinary $50 prostitution.

A good deal of prostitutes prostitute themselves under coercion.
Gold digging is a deliberate choice.

Most other prostitutes work the streets out of dire material need.
This is not the case with (most) gold diggers, either.

So, let's not compare apples to pears.

I will never condemn a woman who ends up in prostitution by force, exploitation, trafficking, drug addiction or because she has no other means to feed herself and possibly her children. These women are denied the help they need and deserve by a society that turns a blind eye, and that's a screaming scandal, worldwide.

I have, however, not a glimpse of respect or sympathy for the type of tarts who deliberately and most readily sell out to the richest dude available, when they actually have the choice to lead a life without prostituting themselves. Unlike their sisters in Vegas, Moscow, Bangkok, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt or Ipswich.

I'm just reflecting society, the bizarre polarization that has come to dominate modern life, love and hate all over the place, for everything.

You mean like a 100+ post thread here? :rolleyes:

Anna Nicole Smith is dead.

And I honestly don't care.

Anna Nicole Smith is dead.

And I honestly don't care.
I'm really surprised by this, but I think I actually do care in some very small way.

I never cared about her while she was alive, but hearing that she is dead makes me feel kind of sad. It seems like she led a really lousy life in a really public way. She pretty much made a living off of being humiliated in front of others. That's sad, to me, and it makes me pity her a bit.

and here i thought we didn't have much evil on this forum, but alas i am wrong once again, the evil is strong on this thread, i can feel it's pulse on many of these posts

keep up the good work and spread the evil around so it may grow faster

there is hope for humanity yet:D

May God rest her soul.

It's a sad story but it should be a quick story. The news has held onto this story for too long I think as if she had made a huge contribution to the world. I'm watching other international news and they are focusing on the Iraq war, the riots that are occurring in Jerusalem, the flooding in Burundi, damn, the rest of the world is moving on. Focus on the real issues.

No offense, none taken. I may have been unclear.

There is a big difference between gold digging and ordinary $50 prostitution.
'Ordinary $50.00 prostitution' isnt all too clear, if a woman charges a couple of hundred dolllars for a few hours company and then a few hundred more for any actual sex acts, is she excluded from 'ordinary prostitute', is it a matter of the price charged that determines ordinary from not-ordinary, or the venue (if on the street ordinary if out of an escort agency not-ordinary)?

A good deal of prostitutes prostitute themselves under coercion.
Gold digging is a deliberate choice.
A good deal of prostitutes prostitute themselves in the absence of coercion, and a greater number do so as a deliberate choice. Further, not all gold-diggers are 'free of coercion' in such forms as poverty, the need/obligation to provide for dependents and other such factors that apparently absolve either all prostitutes, or at least those directly effected by the coercing circumstances.

Most other prostitutes work the streets out of dire material need.
This is not the case with (most) gold diggers, either.
So it's ok to gold dig if it's to meet dire material needs, but not ok to be a prostitute if it's not to meet dire material needs? In the case of prostitution, I fail to see the problem either way. So far as a gold-digger is concerned, it is the usually attendent deception that concerns me, not the motivation.

So, let's not compare apples to pears.

I will never condemn a woman who ends up in prostitution by force, exploitation, trafficking, drug addiction or because she has no other means to feed herself and possibly her children. These women are denied the help they need and deserve by a society that turns a blind eye, and that's a screaming scandal, worldwide.
Why should you condemn any person (woman or not) for prostituting themselves, regardless of the reason they do so?

I have, however, not a glimpse of respect or sympathy for the type of tarts who deliberately and most readily sell out to the richest dude available, when they actually have the choice to lead a life without prostituting themselves.
Unlike their sisters in Vegas, Moscow, Bangkok, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt or Ipswich.
Why? If someone prostitutes themselves, why should that cause you to respect them more or less, regardless why they do it?

No, I previously thought you had an issue with people who prostitute themselves or gold-dig and I didnt understand why. I infer from this post that you instead have an issue with prostitutes or gold-diggers if coercion of some kind (such as pressing material needs) isnt a causitive factor in their prostituting themselves, but I still dont understand why.

An already ugly inheritance fight just got a fuckload uglier, and the lawyers are going to be the ones to get rich off it.

The thought of lawyers getting rich warms the cockles of my heart. That is if I had heart.

Teehee, you said cockles. Teehee. :D

So what did she die of? She was young. I know she lost her son. Did she die of a broken heart or an overdoes of sleeping pills?

Probably an accidental OD, but she did attempt suicide shortly after the death of her son. Kind of sad. The world has lost a great set of tits.

Is it wrong for one to pleasure one's self to her, now that she is dead? :p

Fixed.

Fake, real, what's the difference? I'm not that picky. Hell, I'd probably fuck a philly cheese steak if nobody was looking. Then I'd leave it somewhere where someone would be likely to take a bite.

You know, I don't think I've ever rubbed one out to a dead chick before. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hahaha....."mmmmm... Did I order mayo on this?"

Yay necrophilia! :D

I think she would have been my dream girl. She was rich, blonde, a little older than me, hot, buxome, and a little ditzy. If only she would have met me I would have given her something to live for. You know what though. It is wierd but we are acyually better off than someone who inherited millions and had a nice body. This is just because we are alive and she is beautiful worm chow.

She's dead. Everyone dies. Why do we make such a big deal out of it?

Then again, I have no idea who she was, what she did, etc. so my apologies if this sounds a bit heartless. As a side note, even when people close to me die, I tend to be a bit apathetic (I'm not the one dying after all), so it could be just me.

She was an entertainer who spent much of her life caring for the elderly.

I save myself the hassle of going through all the points again. You seem to think that prostitution is just another way of making a living. I'm not going to preach to you. You're entitled to an opinion.

So am I, and where I'm concerned, prostitution is damn fucking wrong (in the truest sense) and should not exist, neither on the demand nor on the supply side. This is, of course, cloud-cuckoo-land thinking. Just as the notion that a majority of the world's professionals do their job by choice.

The only thing I can do is not to be a customer in this "just another leisure industry". I managed fine so far.

You don't have to understand that, after all.

You mean like a 100+ post thread here? :rolleyes:

Definitely. :)

I save myself the hassle of going through all the points again.
Ok, although why you would be considering going to the hassle in order to answer a question that none of points you've previously posited answers, I'm not really sure.

You seem to think that prostitution is just another way of making a living.
Do I? Well thanks for letting me know that, there I was thinking that I simply couldnt understand why you would dispise people as a result of their making choices that do not of themselves cause direct harm to some other person.

I'm not going to preach to you. You're entitled to an opinion.
Yes, I'm entitled to my opinion, which doesnt require that you refrain from preaching to me. The entitlement remains whether you do or do not preach to me. Quite what that has to do with answering the simple question I asked, is again something I am not able to ascertain with any certainty.

So am I, and where I'm concerned, prostitution is damn fucking wrong (in the truest sense) and should not exist,
I agree you are entitled to your opinion, and I've more or less reached the conclusion that you have issues with prostitution without your reiterating the point. Knowing these things of course doesnt bring me any closer to understanding the issue I am interested understanding, nor any closer to the answer of the question I am still asking you, ie '"why?". That you are entitled to an opinion and believe prostitution is damn fucking wrong doesnt tell me anything about why you hold this particular opinion.

neither on the demand nor on the supply side. This is, of course, cloud-cuckoo-land thinking.
I wouldnt have said so myself, at least without first having examined the why and the possible merits therein, but I guess since I dont have that information and presumably you do, I'll have to take your word for it. Although I confess it confuses me that you wouldnt change your own thinking where you consider it to be cloud-cuckoo-land thinking.

Just as the notion that a majority of the world's professionals do their job by choice.
It's rather hard to assess such a premise.

The only thing I can do is not to be a customer in this "just another leisure industry". I managed fine so far.
That's not the only thing you can do at all, although it's a perfectly fine thing to do. Of course you could do it without dispising prostitutes be it the whole group or those who 'chose' rather than were 'coerced'.

You don't have to understand that, after all.
Obviously I dont have to understand anything you've stated, however, since I'm curious and interested, I'm certainly making every attempt to do so. Unfortunately you seem completely resistant to answering a very simple question, prefering to reiterate the distaste you've already asserted, rather than explain the reasoning/causes that you've been asked about. At this point it's hard to not suspect that your refusal to give a reason is indicative of its non-existence.

Sorry, no rhetorical ping-pong today.

Is it wrong for one to pleasure one's self to her, now that she is dead? :p
You mean you want to pay her tribute in what she did best? Go right ahead, I'd say.
