these are good rules to live your life by me thinks
have had some odd reactions though when offering help over the years
offered to carry some shopping onto a bus for an older lady n you would of thought i had just treatened to hurt her from the look of fear felt awfull n tried to reasure her i was just trying to be helpfull not harm her :shock:
again whilst on a bus offered to hold baby whilst mum got buggy off really in hindsight should of offered to get buggy cause i think from the suspicious look she gave me i think she thought i would run off with said baby although she should of been able to see i couldn't of run more than 2 steps lol
i will however never lert those reactions stop me i will endevour to b as helpfull as i can always n forever

On the back of another post, I'm afraid I found it tasteless and unnecessary as well.
I totally understand gallows humour, however wishing anyone's death, whether in jest or not is beyond a certain boundary.
It reminds me of a local incident here in Derby where a teenage boy committed suicide by jumping off the shopping centre, whilst a crowd bayed at him to just go ahead and jump sad
A sickening example of how cruel society has become.
I appreciate that people are entitled to their opinions. Entitlement does not necessarily mean that it should be voiced, particularly when they could cause distress.
Think for a minute, how much nicer would society be if just for once, you praised instead of chastised; stayed quiet instead of voicing a contraversial opinion; relayed positive news instead of rumours; stopped to check that the person who tripped was okay instead of hurrying by and stifling a giggle; complimented a stranger instead of avoided them?
Life isn't all about fluff, I know but that's only because we choose to delight in other's misfortune.

don't misunderstand me i would b overjoyed if life was all fluffy and i do agree in the main with your post kiss

Minx, I think most people on the forum know that the person I hold in highest regard is my stepdaughter.
At age 8 she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia, at the time she had almost waist length hair that she lost due to chemo. I think we ladies in the family found it so difficult as her hair was stunning, she ... well she used to pull it out by the handful and drop it on us laughing!
She smiled through the pain, she played tricks on us, she laughed.
She went into remission, we booked a lifetime trip to the US centred around her and 6 weeks prior to us going out, she relapsed. On hearing the news, her attitude was "I've done it once, I'll do it again" and she smiled and laughed her way through what must have been devastating news to a 11 year old! She was gutted not to be able to go to the US, but her outlook was ... so we can book when I beat this!
The cancer was even more aggresive, she needed chemo, had radio and was told a Bone Marrow Transplant was necessary. She knew in her heart that it was a chance in a million, but she carried on smiling.
Our luck was in, she got her donor, and was told 10% chance of surviving the procedure, and if that worked 50/50 chance until the first year was passed. Through pain, heartbreak (chemo/radio robbed her fertility), seizures, blisters, she smiled and laughed.
A potential setback just prior to her year anniversary had us all running scared, she smiled, she waited.
She passed her first anniversary in Dec, she is well, has a normal life again (bar a weak immune system).
She is 13, spent almost 5 years battling this god awful disease, she has laughed, smiled, giggled her way through determined not to let it beat her. She's seen fellow sufferers deteriorate and die sad
She faces adversity with a smile, shames me for moaning when my head aches, she lights up a room with her grin and sunny outlook. She was ridiculed on return to school (on the bus) and she stood up and removed her hat and rubbed her bald head! Pride is a powerful weapon ;)
Can we laugh through adversity .... sometimes it is the best way.

wow wat a girl i wish i had half her strength
i hope she has a long, healthy and happy future hunny :rose:
i really do think you can find humour at difficult times and it is what gets you through
i hope ya mum is well n truelly on the mend minxie :rose:
Quote by foxylady2209
My god Minxy, if we didn't laugh at times like that (and this) we would be lining up to top ourselves.
My Mum is a breast cancer survivor and has had a mastectomy. She lost and ear-ring on holiday and she and I were in stitches at one point when I suggested she have her remaining nipple pierced so she could use the ear-ring she has left.
She's nearly 80.

oh i like lol had me sniggering
glad she pulled through hun

No it is not.
The sooner admin get ya the better as far as I am concerned.
You never used to be as " nasty " as you have been recently so.....something must have happened to you.............oooh I am so tempted to say something, but I won't. Mrs777 would batter me.

?????
Admin?
I must admit, it isn't in great taste and I wouldn't post the comments Ben has, but I do find equally distasteful the mordant, maudlin, pious mourning we indulge in when some vapid celebrity or other shuffles off the mortal coil. Whilst not on a scale of the Princess Di outbreak when the Isle of Wight nearly disappeared in a flood of tears, it really does irritate when we eulogise about these folk as if they were one of our own.
Meanwhile another 200,000 children die because they can't get fresk drinking water or basic medication.
But we're fine with that. Cos they ain't famous, don't sell papers and don't matter.
I do feel sorry for the family and the person regardless of what they did. But just because they are famous does not mean we should mourn their passing any more, or any less.
I don't think Ben has warranted the attention of admin any more than people who, like you Mr K, stir up political threads that enrage more than a few on here. Or people like me who just post arse slackeningly inane nonsense. Some may find that equally distasteful and distressing. Like everything on here, your opinion of someone's passing does not have to be shared by anyone else.
I always think, in situations like this, if you have nothing positive to say, then don't say it. That does not mean however, I implicitly agree with what is being said. A person dying is sad enough, however our reactions to it say more about our own needs and perceptions than it does the person who has snuffed it. (I'm Sorry I can't do the whole flowery religious "gone to sleep" nonsense. Their dead, deal with it, cos they have.)

If Jade Goody gets her finger out we can have a national day of mourning.

one persons tasteless is another persons funny
freedom of speech n all that old boy
I find nothing funny about a 27 year old mother of two dying and leaving her children regardless of their place in society.
Your post is as bad as his. You should be ashamed.
Death is a very delicate issue with most people, we cope in different ways some keep a sense of humour and others treat is seriously. We all have different coping strategies to deal with such a dilemma.
I think to express humour within a place like this when others have such different opinions, is a little inconsiderate of others, Ben maybe oversaw that when he posted that post.
see ya point hunny but then if no-one posted in here for fear of being inconsiderate of others it would be a big ole pile of tumbleweed now wouldn't it lol
True :thumbup: fair point, I say post and be damned I did smile and then thought naughty Ben, then told myself off after. lol
But then I remeber my mum walking past an undertakers with me I was about 14 just saying people are dying to get into there, I told her she was cruel, then I laughed.
see thats my point exactly minxie your honest enought to say it at least made you grin i did the same too and also like you flogged myself for doing so
we are all human ffs we can grin at summat then feel bad for doin so after doesn't make us bad people for finding humour in awfull situations in fact i think it makes us good people for being honest about it
i love honesty i hold a lot of regard for those that are n thats why i loves ya minxie my sweet wink
Quote by flower411
People laugh at different things in different situations.
My father died 2 weeks after my daughter was born and I drove back to England for the funeral a couple of weeks after driving back to be there when he actually died.
I was totally exhausted by the day of the funeral.
My sister wanted to festoon the coffin with expensive wreaths and generally throw loads of money at the thing to express her grief !!
My daughters name is the name of a plant so I suggested that the coffin should have a single flower from that plant placed on it. As the particular flower was out of season the florist managed to "manufacture" a substitute from another type of flower.
There were a lot of people at my Dads funeral and, of course most of them didn`t know my daughters name and when they were told why the single bloom was on the coffin, I don`t think a single person manged to keep back the tears.
I found the whole situation hilariously funny especially as it annoyed my sister so much.
I could just imagine my Dad having a little chuckle about it while defending her to the hilt lol
We all laugh at different stuff ...If you don`t find something funny, say your piece and move on.
Maybe Bens comment was made deliberately to wind people up.....I don`t know dunno But always remember, it only works if somebody bites.

how true that is hun now bend over so i can bite ya bum :twisted:

getting back to topic....may I say Wendy Richards brought many of us many moments of great humour in "Are you being served" and entertained us with drama in Eastenders...and so will be sadly missed by many.

very good point hun and for going off topic i do feel ashamed, she was a top actress and a strong and funny woman she will b sadly missed

You can't be serious saying that Bouncy? surely?
deadly serious why shouldn't i be its a fact humour is subjective just because u find it tasteless does that mean everyone has to???
we all have our own minds and i for one am not affraid to say mine for fear of being judged i do not care wat others oppinions are of me so i am not prepared to jump on what someone says just to appear as if i am a good person with only good and righteous thoughts and opinions
maybe i should of not expressed my oppinion eh maybe time to sit on my hands :gagged:
Quote by deancannock
yea....has to be said found it distastefull and disrespectfull. each to their own but I could not see he humour in it. Makes me think why the need to post such a comment ? would have been easy to just move onto he next topic. Surely they knew that it would cause a stir and others would find it distastefull. Maybe it was just a "look at me...i'm such a rebel " post.. rolleyes

dean my darling you could very well b right but then i do somtimes think that some that post how awfull they find such things are sometimes trying to say look at me i'm a good person n i wouldn't mind bettin a pound to a pinch of shit that some that do so snigger at such jokes right before they post thier outrage
i could very well be wrong but just a thought i had
Quote by Dirtygirly
i love the fact we have freedom of speech and i don't like censorship so i for one am happy for people to joke about things that others might find tasteless even i might find tasteless but such is life rolleyes

I like freedom of speech too. I'm not really one for censorship either. People can say whatever they like but if I disagree or find it tasteless then I'm going to exercise my right to the same freedom of speech that they have used and tell them. :mrgreen:
I don't expect a bunfight, I don't expect people to rolleyes their eyes at me for that either. Just like you have freedom of speech to say all you've just said. It works every which way and as long as we're all within the AUP then I don't see anything wrong with a lively debate expressing our opinions! wink
agree wholeheartedly opinions are just opinions and we all have the right to express them but we also have the right to rolleyes our eyes too :thumbup:
I didn't say they couldn't... I just said that I don't expect them to! rolleyes

now then... I haven't had long to peruse threads yet this evening, but if this:

... is the post that has raised some comments... I chuckled... heartilly.
does that make me bad?
during my fathers illness... there were many an occassion for a wry chuckle at the sheer :shock: value of a dreadfull situation.
morbid?
lp
On this occasion, prob the first ever, I totally disagree with you.
Try telling the same joke to her sons I DO agree with you ... but;
the joke wasn't said to her sons, nor was it intended as a poke at either of the folk being mentioned in the thread.
But I doo believe it was a light hearted instance of black humour. Something I for one do find funny
Not to everyones taste I have to admit.
If this comment had been posted here following a personal posting from a fellow forumite about their own situation... that would be different. Insulting and callous.

Like DG I like freedom of speech, when it's in it's right place.
I find jokes about urging someone one to die very distasteful indeed, someone tell me where's the humour in that?? dunno
I'm on the wrong planet, clearly.

i don't disagree it is distastfull but i personally (and i'm not saying you would btw) wouldn't jump on someone for making such a joke is all i was saying

Freedom of Speech also allows people to express their views on subjects they find tasteless.
are you saying thats a good or bad thing?

freedom of speech n all that old boy
it amazes me just how much peoples tastes in humour can differ as we have seen on here there are quite a few peeps that deal with something tragic with humour and then others find this completly tasteless
i do sometimes wonder if the people that are so outraged at the humour posted did actually let out a slight snigger on first reading the joke to then recoil at horror at thier own failing ( in their own eyes not mine)
like the comics that say a shocking joke and you hear the audience laugh and then gasp in shock, i often wonder if it is the shock that the comic said such a thing or is it shock at themselves for finding it funny
i like to deal with things with humour i very often poke fun at myself even in dire situations and i even make jokes about some awfull situations in the world not because i lack respect or sympathy or empathy just because its how i deal with things *simples*
i also think there r certain things that should never be joked about like victims of abuse i just can't find that funny i really can't don't know why just don't even snigger but then at the same time i don't criticize those that do make jokes about it i just think humour is subjective just cause one person finds it funny doesn't mean we all have to some might even find it tasteless but its not for me to judge
i love the fact we have freedom of speech and i don't like censorship so i for one am happy for people to joke about things that others might find tasteless even i might find tasteless but such is life rolleyes
