Slave to the Grave

Do you not know who that man is? Yes, and I know he is not a potato.

Perhaps you can 'prove' to me that no thread has ever been deleted/locked by the moderators of this forum on the grounds of 'taste' or emotion. For example look at the end of the 'world's strongest man' thread, was that not an emotional and irrational response to weeping widows and poor wee kiddies. This being said the 'world's strongest man' thread was, I thought, very entertaining. This thread, is not.

Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

Hello Tim Now that is sick!!

Is binning the corpse legal in the UK? regards, Hein You can bury the corpse in your back garden as long as it's deep enough & far enough from drains etc Not sure I'd want her buried in my garden, she might wither my herbaceous border.

Yeti, there is always a line drawn by somebody, in this case the moderators, the admins, whoever. The 'more gore' thread was death related but was deleted because it crossed a line drawn by somebody. This is fine, someone makes those judgments, that's what moderators are for I suppose, but everyone has a different threshold and others would maybe draw their line in a different place. Are you suggesting that Forum members shouldn't be able to express their feelings about certain threads because they are at odds with the views of some of the moderators? Is this not censorship also? People aren't being protected from the fact that children die by not discussing them on this forum. Anyone who watches the news is bombarded daily by this very fact. I'm not suggesting that it's deathlist's fault, I'm just expressing my own personal opinion on the subject because a debate was started and I happen to have a view.

Did you cook it? My old maths teacher used to roam the countryside looking for squashed pheasants to take home for dinner. He'd have liked your pheasant very much as I'm sure it wasn't quite as squashed as most.

One could argue - NB that's "one", not necessarily "me" - that the two are very similar: neither are actively contributing to society, neither are taken particularly seriously, and more often than not both are dependent on others for support. In fact, "one" could argue that we as a society lose more by the death of the elder than the death of the youth, as with them die knowledge and (some might argue) wisdom. i e+ I would argue that the elder was once a youth and had they not lived to be an elder then that knowledge and wisdom would not be there to pass on.

Teddy, I think you have misunderstood the point I was trying to make slightly. With adults, quite often, premature death comes either directly or indirectly as a result of choices made and actions taken during life eg drinking, smoking, suicide etc. Most of the younger people discussed on this forum are here because of their own self-abuse or penchant for dangerous living eg George Best, Alex Higging, Pete Doherty, motor racing drivers etc. Then there are those who are discussed on here because they are very old, like the Pope. But the difference with people who have lived to a ripe old age is that they have done just that, they have lived. I agree that physiologically, death is the same for a 90 year old and a 9 year old, but it's (without wishing to sound too emotional) the death of potential for the future that makes the death of a child so different. I don't agree with having a lower age limit, I think it's up to this Forum to regulate itself in that respect, which is effectively what is happening in this case with this discussion. I am merely expressing my own feelings about this particular thread. Finally, I think there is a big difference between simply reporting the fact the Kirsty Howard is terminally ill in the newspapers and the kind of discussion (that generally I enjoy) on this forum.

I already ordered one but my shipment seems to have been lost. No wonder you can't afford to eat if you're ordering internet brides.

The point is, that when a child dies, it is generally not as a direct consequence of choices made or actions taken by that child. Children are not responsible for themselves in the same way that adults are. There is a huge difference between the death of a 90 year old who lived a full and long life and a 9 year old whose life has just begun.

My god man, are you really that desperate? I do apologize, must be the lack of food for the last almost 24 hours. I myself am on the bottom of the food chain, I am a college student. You may be at the bottom of the food chain, but believe me it only gets worse, enjoy it while you can

Don't you have a JOB?? I would have thought that only someone in gainful employment would have the time and inclination to make 300 posts in a month. Unemployed people have far too many interesting things to do. Like starving? Having personally only ever been unemployed in Britain and France, I was thinking more in terms of reading a nice book, going for a walk in the countryside or staying in bed all day. I wholeheartedly apologise to anyone who is currently unemployed, living outside these two bastions of civilisation and facing starvation. And the moral of the story is.... Only be unemployed if you live in France or Britain. Lighten up IYG, please. You murderer of small furry animals.

Most of them armed with eggs, rotten tomatoes etc.

I agree with Vilebody. Personally, I find this thread distasteful and feel it should be deleted. But, putting personal sensibilties to one side, she is only famous for being ill, she shouldn't be on here. If free speech is so important, why delete any posts or threads or have a swear filter? Come to think of it why have moderators?

Perhaps they use 'heir die'

For lovers of the larger tongued gentleman, here is Buster.

Maybe this poster is thinking of the salsa albums of Robert Mitchum, or the easy listening albums of Jackie Gleason. Either way I think that Borgnine is a good choice for DL 2006 at the expense of, say, Diego Maraddona. Maybe he just sold his stamp collection?

Probably. After all she has had two boosts this year - the death of Callaghan and the death of Heath. And possibly a boost in her personal finances due to the departure of "Dear Dennis". I should certainly imagine the household gin bill has fallen significantly.

Hi jax, Each to his own eh. I personally find trawling the internet for information on 1970s teen idols, a lot stranger and certainly considerably less entertaining than reading and contributing to this forum. However, I don't feel the need to point this out on the Osmonds forum. Whilst you're on however, could you or 'someone, help me, help me, help me pleeeease', with my research. Thankyou.

Millwall? Ta-ra-ra-boom-dee-ay! My knickers blew away They came back yesterday They went on holiday.

I think during Ronny's brief spell, the Stars of David on show fell dramatically. In all seriousness though the location of the Tottenham Hotspur football ground meant that historically there was/is a high proportion of Jewish supporters.

Encore!!!!!
