StanSP Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 haven't really been following this..is it odds on that she will die then? Most likely sometime this year, unless she can defy doctors (who said she had months to live) and survive an incurable type of cancer...
Guest Bilo Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 The fact is that Jade Goody is a young mother with two small boys who has the opportunity to make some money for her family before she dies. The fact that other people diagnosed with this terrible disease are not in that same position should not be used against her. Just think about how her family would feel if they were to read some of the posts made on here.
James. Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I would rather die with my dignity intact as opposed to my bank balance.
GLC Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I would rather die with my dignity intact as opposed to my bank balance. Same,
Alexikokopops Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I would rather die with my dignity intact as opposed to my bank balance. Have you got kids to think about though? If I had the opportunity to earn a bit of money for my children if I was dying of cancer I'm not sure what I'd do.
purpleronnie Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Whats wrong with doing everything you can for your kids?, I'm sure if you lot were offered huge amounts of money you wouldnt turn it down.
James. Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Have you got kids to think about though? If I had the opportunity to earn a bit of money for my children if I was dying of cancer I'm not sure what I'd do. From what I can see she's already made a fortune for her kids (and their kids and so on). Like I say in this situation I think there's more important things than money to think about. Jade Goody has a different perspective it would seem.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 The fact is that Jade Goody is a young mother with two small boys who has the opportunity to make some money for her family before she dies. The fact that other people diagnosed with this terrible disease are not in that same position should not be used against her. Just think about how her family would feel if they were to read some of the posts made on here. Just think how the families of anonymous everyday people who are dying of cancer feel every time they see all the support and attention that Jade Goody gets and they don't. I'm not saying she shouldn't get any - all I'm saying is she's not the only person in the world with cancer. If you wish her well, (someone you don't know, have never met and will likely never meet) on a personal basis, then why not every other single individual who is in the same situation. It's those people I feel more sorry for. Many won't have the money or influence to get the same treatment she will be able to afford or leave their children on a sound financial basis. Will those people get a mention on this forum as individuals? No. I wish Jade Goody no ill will at all, but why she should be singled out is beyond me.
Guest Bilo Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Have you got kids to think about though? If I had the opportunity to earn a bit of money for my children if I was dying of cancer I'm not sure what I'd do. Exactly. Nobody could know what they'd do if they were in her situation so nobody can condemn too strongly. It may appear to be undignified and tawdry from the outside but I honestly believe that she has her childrens' interests at heart. After all, the money she makes from this is unlikely to be of much use to her come the end of the year. This isn't about lining her own pockets or raising her own profile, it's about making a better life for her children when she's no longer around.
Finnegan Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I don't really care if I come across as a horrible person, I'm not going to claim to be that bothered just to look nice. It's the whole "death of one is a tragedy" line isn't it? A thousand people die in some Indian earthquake and most of us won't really even read the news article let alone spare a thought, the statistic isn't shocking enough. It's one person you've heard of and suddenly we care. That she's going painfully and inhumanely is a shame - I'm not evil enough to want pain for anyone. That she's going at all? I don't give a toss. If she wanted sympathy in death she shouldn't have been utter, complete vermin in life.
Alexikokopops Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 From what I can see she's already made a fortune for her kids (and their kids and so on).Like I say in this situation I think there's more important things than money to think about. Jade Goody has a different perspective it would seem. I'm also not sure how much of this is Max Clifford being an absolute weasel and pushing for it. And also how can we all be sure she isn't giving what she's for the stories and the like to a cancer charity. I'm just speculating. Just think how the families of anonymous everyday people who are dying of cancer feel every time they see all the support and attention that Jade Goody gets and they don't.I'm not saying she shouldn't get any - all I'm saying is she's not the only person in the world with cancer.

But I don't blame Goody for taking the opportunity. It's the British Public as a whole who should take the blame for their love of anything celebrity. My ex-girlfriend's nan died of cervical cancer when I was with her. Upsetting stuff.
cisono Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 She has months to live apparently. Of course she only has a limited amount of time to live. I don't need Max Clifford to tell me that. Wasn't it obvious to everyone?

Stupid arguement this is, it's someone famous who we all know so therefore it will get discussed more than the average bloke on the street who dies of cancer. <_< you expect people to ignore it and not disucss it as other people die of cancer? 1000's of people go out and get twatted and make fools out of themselves every week but only the famous are plastered all over the tabloids, hundreds of people are sent off for smacking someone up and down England during games of football but it's only the Premier League players who are on the back pages being called thugs and being fined thousands. Famous people make the news, bad/good things happen to them they get discussed, it's hardly her fault. If that's the case then we should ignore her comments on Celeb BB as there are thousands or racists in this county. She's not the only one so why get pissed off at her?
Daggers Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I couldn't give a fuck about her illness and I'll not be giving a rat's arse about her in death. Obnoxious, thick racist cunt that she is - having a finite time left doesn't change that. Having children doesn't mean the world has to tip-toe around and start pretending to like the vapid slapper. I couldn't give a toss if her sons saw this post, and seeing as one is five and the other is four I highly doubt they could read it considering the gene pool they were formed from...and her family isn't widely known for being a bunch of City fans so don't we think that scenario is a little more than far-fetched? Point me in the direction of someone I care about who is suffering and maybe I'd feel a bit more sympathetic. But her? She only evokes the response that we should open a sweep.
JadeFalcon Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 i cant wait for the fat slapper to actually do something good in this world, like fertilizing the fooking flowers

Daggers Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Well that's just mean. Oh Christ! If I'm agreeing with him then I must be in the wrong. Poor Jade, the nation's Queen of Tarts.
Guest Bilo Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Just saw a headline on Sky news saying "JADE'S CANCER TRAGEDY" I thought, "Oh fook, she hasn't got better, has she?" EDIT: I'm aware that this is wrong but it made me smile.
Guest Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Who's to say she's not donating the money she receives to a Cancer Charity Seems plausible to me. Every magazine or newspaper article I've read with her "cancer story" has had her saying she was selling it to make money for her children. The fact is that Jade Goody is a young mother with two small boys who has the opportunity to make some money for her family before she dies. The fact that other people diagnosed with this terrible disease are not in that same position should not be used against her. Just think about how her family would feel if they were to read some of the posts made on here. The fact is Jade Goody has had, what is it, 5 years or whatever, to earn more money than most of us can dream of. If she hasn't invested enough to provide for her children, bearing in mind that she was treated for pre-cancerous cell in her teens, and was told that she was very much "high risk", then I have no sympathy for her financial skills. This woman has made a career out of being famous for being obnoxious and dislikeable. She could have turned the tables; she could have done a lot for cancer awareness, she could have said she was selling her story to provide for the families of those who haven't had the chances she has has to make money. She could have taken a leaf out of Jane Tomlinson's book, a woman who was not only dignified in her illness, but extremely courageous and inspirational. But no, we are subjected to images of her "emotional turmoil". This woman could have earned my respect; she hasn't.
Alexikokopops Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Every magazine or newspaper article I've read with her "cancer story" has had her saying she was selling it to make money for her children. Fair enough, I haven't read anything on it
Webbo Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Making money to support your children after your death is as noble a cause as any charity. Personally I'm no more bothered about her impending death than I would be any other total stranger. I've no interest in her story and will skip that page if it's in any paper I buy. I really can't condemn her for thinking of her children though.
Uncle Albert Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 If I had cancer I wouldn't be soiling a newspaper with pictures of my daily life throughout.I have zero respect for this woman and even more so for grabbing every last penny off this ordeal however like many have said I wouldn't wish it on anyone. She is getting all this money for her children's future, fairplay to her for that. Probably the last she can do to provide for her children as she is in a hospital she cant do the basic things as a Mum and even dress her kids. Have a think. Do you think she really wants to splashed over the front pages and letting the whole of Britain see what has happened to her? When she was once a 'high statused celeb', no she wont but she is doing it for her Children's and Husband's future.

A woman is dying of cancer and leaving two of her children and you come out with that fucking shit. So because she has made some mistakes in her life you feel that she deserves no sympathy from having such a disease?
