dead Kir5Ty Howard

[maryportfuncity 10,010]

The back-to-front hearted girl who befriended the Beckhams has made another recovery from the edge of death. But her shelf life is long-expired. We obviously have a problem with people who are famous largely through their terminal illness but we could always set up a thread a bit like a horse race for the likes of Kirsty and Jane Tomlinson allowing us to add commentry on the snippets of media coverage and their headlong sprint for that final finishing line. Whad'ya reckon?

[Windsor 2,142]

I can see this thread turning nasty already.

 

She has become sort of a celebrity - deathlists youngest candidate?

[football_fan 41]

I would not agree with her name being on the list. She is famous due to her illness. If she was a healthy young girl, she would not be a celebrity.

[Boudicca 702]

The last thread about a sick kid got deleted. I agree with FF.

[Grim Reaper 183]

The Mods are considering this one but the tweak to her name in the topic title means Google wont pick her up - which i recall was the main complaint recieved about the last thread about her

[maryportfuncity 10,010]

You might get a complaint from someone really called Kir5ty Howard.

I just landed on your site after Googling my name & I am very shocked & upset.

I am a terminally sick child & find this kind of website sick & depraved.

I may be biased, but I think it would be quite an honour to appear on the Death List. It's a select crowd. There aren't many other places where you get debated about by people all over the world.

 

Of course, I'm not dying of a terminal illness. At least, not that I know of.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,288]

Hmmmm,

 

I think Deathlist should ban any threads about children.

 

I'm not sure tweaking this girl's name to prevent google pickups really addresses the issue.

Here, here.

Sorry, don't believe in censorship based on somebody else's 'Good Taste' filter.

Free speech and all that.

 

She's dying. Tough luck & tough sh*t. Not much I can do about it, but mentioning names only in hushed tones seems overly sensitive.

[VileBody 11]

Free speech bears a responsibility not to abuse it. Sorry to sound po-faced but that's the way it is.

 

Should be no sick/dying non-celeb kids on the lists or the threads. Ever.

 

This thread is charmless and cruel. Take it off.

[Slave to the Grave 22]

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?

F**k me, good point, I'm off.

Without committing myself to any stance on this issue, I DO wonder why children and death is worse than adults and death. Like when there's a news story and they say "52 people died, among them women and children." Apparently, guys, your lives (or deaths) don't matter as much as ours.

 

Surely if it's tasteless to have threads about dying children, it's just as tasteless to have threads about dying adults, in which case this website should be shut down. After all, just because someone's in their 80s doesn't NECESSARILY mean that we as the public have the right to appropriate their deaths. They still have families who could find this website distasteful etc.

 

At the end of the day, kids die. And it wasn't so long ago that kids dying was a normal part of life.

I agree. I would be thrilled to be on the list. I'll let you know if I become famous and contract any life-threatening conditions.

[VileBody 11]

So on this basis, you would presumably abolish any age barriers for voting, pornography, film classifications, driving, credit approvals, drinking, smoking or sex. After all, what's the difference?

 

Look, I don't want to bang on about this and be all humourless because this site is about having a bit of (slightly macabre) fun. But it's grown-up fun, OK?

 

No kids.

 

Unless it's Dakota Fanning.

 

Oh, just kill the damn thread.

So it's OK if the kiddie is famous then?

 

What a CUPID STUNT you are.

I'm sorry, but I really don't get how these are comparable. I've actually tried to understand your point, and I just don't get it.

 

The list you've provided all involve the ability on the part of the individual to make informed decisions. How does it support your position? They're not even related to what is being discussed. Are you suggesting that if someone isn't old enough to vote they aren't old enough to die?

 

What you seem to be implying is that an individual who is not in a position to make an informed decision about whether or not to appear on the Death List (i.e. a child), shouldn't. But since when are any of the Death List candidates approached for their permission, given time to weigh the pros and cons, and then allowed to decide whether or not they want to appear before their name is added?

Presumably that is because children haven't really had a full innings.

Also, non-parents, and people who have never taught, believe that children are "innocent", as opposed to "half-civilized".

And let us not forget the power of beauty. Children are much easier on the eye, (and nostrils) than the elderly.

[Slave to the Grave 22]

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.

Example:

Ah, a naked molerat. Quite interesting rodents, actually. Much more social than humans. Even communists don't go that far, but then, commies aren't that ugly.
