Brittany Murphy

There was a thread on this earlier.

Oh. Sorry

Tragic news though :(

32 isnt an age to die.

yeah very sad news indeed , only 32 as well. God bless her :(

brittany who?

spears

she was in 8 mile.

rip.

wikipedia reports her as having died.

Surely it was Britney Murphy. RIP.

or maybe not.

1st Bogart,then Gable,then McQueen now this

.

I haven't seen any of her movies and genuinely had not heard of her before now.
To me she's no different to the other 170,000(approx) of our fellow humans that have passed away during the last 24 hours.
I'm not happy that it has happened but i'd be lying if i said her passing has had a negative emotional effect on me.

erm why would you feel the need to say how bothered you aren't at a person you never knew, dying?

just so strange

babe with a big future
sad really

It's a forum where people express their opinions and feelings.
I thought i could add something to the thread by offering a different perspective on her death.
I feel i did that in a way that respected the sensitivity of the issue.

lol superb

i bet whenever you hear of some tragedy you have to tell people how sad you're not

do you tell people after natural disasters how sad you're not because you didn't know any of the victims. while at the same time obviously reassuring them you weren't happy it happened. cos there must be so many people who are happy when stuff happens right? i mean it's just so normal!

*when tragedies happen

anyway, cheers for letting people know you aren't happy a 32 year old you didnt know had died

appreciated

have heard of her but havent a clue who she is , never seen any of her movies but would have heard her voice im sure as ive watched the kids stuff she voiced over.
she must of been pretty good , loads of credits for movies etc.
not bad looking either

i remember her from the teenage dirtbag vid

actually it was a different wheatus vid, little respect

she was the daughter of brian murphy of george and mildred fame ....obviously from a great acting family

canaryboy made me laugh on this thread.

oh and sorry to hear the sad news.

I'm alittle lost,
Every body seems sad about a person they never met, dying.

I'm a bit sad about little ahmed who died in Somalia today
Age 3
Never had any chance in life,
He certainly could afford to buy drugs to save his life
Or for that matter drugs to end it

could NOT afford to buy drugs to save his life

--------------------------

Yeah I remember that, the Erasure cover. Remember seeing that vid and thinking phwoar she's nice. But when I saw her in other stuff, she was nowhere near as hot. Strange.

It was canaryboy taking the p.ss out of prats like barney that mde me laugh

170,000 people die every day :0

That's a lot :|

her husband has serious addictions also .

According to the World Health Organization, some 56 Million deaths occur per year, at the current global average. That works out to about 153,400 per day, or a little more than 100 per minute. For every death, there are a little over 2.25 births, or a something just over 350,000 per day.

Also, again according to the WHO, the ratio of female births to male births is 1.06-to-1 overall. More than 90% of net global population growth is occurring in "Less than Developed Countries", with India and Nigeria leading the percentage parade. Asia's contribution to global population growth is approximately 25% greater than that of the combined total of the Western Developed Nations.

looking at her husband im still hopeful i can pull a famous actress one day

This type of death always gives a chance to those that want others to know how sensitive/caring/concerned they are.
The minutes silence at sporting events provides a similarfunction.
All started in Aug '97.

oh right i must have missed that

where did this happen?

to gene

where did what happen?

fish.in fairness it was a very destructive relationship ,they loved one another but both had drug issues ,one would try to stop whilst one was still taking drugs ,both could never get clean at the same time.

This type of death always gives a chance to those that want others to know how sensitive/caring/concerned they are.

no surprise that the numpty appears to be australian either

:D

So true.

i think me and him have the same addiciton , pies and kentucky fried chicken

ps

This type of death always gives a chance to those that want others to know how bothered they're not about a life ending.

rip.

Tragic news?
A drug taking actress that most have never heard of dies and that's tragic news?
Well,it might be tragic for her family and friends,but it can't possibly be tragic for someone sat in front of a computer in England.
Some people have a strange idea what tragic is.

You miss the point CB.
These people wouldn't post here about a genuine tragedy but are quite happy to post about a "celebrity" death.

i'm not aware of anyone saying it was tragic for them

i just saw 'tragic news' and 'very very sad news' plus comments that 32 is a young age to die

the latter would seem spot on given life expectancy is significantly higher than this

even in parts of africa it isn't that low

can you define a genuine tragedy please

Millions of children starving to death?
or
A young family from your street,that you knew personally,killed in a car crash by a drunken driver?
or
An old war hero with dementia living in squalor in a bedsit with no family to look after him?

That sort of thing.

CB
Type in below those three:
or
A 32 year old little known actress dying with a drug problem?

What do you think now?
Still tragic?

a drug-**ed , privliged actress who overdoses is any thing but a tragedy.
Who really gives a **.
I never saw any of her work, and even if I had So **ing what
.

If the san Andreas fault fractured and all off Hollywood sank into the sea,
It would not make 1 iota of difference to my life.

I WILL PUNT ON

lol is it a competition to decide what is more tragic

personally i haven't known a family in my street to die at the hands of drink drivers, nor the story about the pensioner

however i did make a comment the other week about humans letting others starve to death

does that make me all caring now?

trag·ic (trjk)
adj.
1. Relating to or characteristic of dramatic tragedy or tragedies: tragic plays; the tragic hero.
2. Writing or performing in tragedy: a tragic poet.

obviously some deaths aren't tragic such as saddam getting executed but you get the idea

pretty sure you weren't agreeing with canaryboy.

canaryboy 22 Dec 10:28

Was probably tragic to members of his family etc....

so basically people shouldn't comment about any famous death as that's disrespectful to other people who die and in more tragic circumstances? are these the rules we must follow?

Was probably tragic to members of his family etc....

ffs lol i'm not talking about anything being tragic to the families, i'm taling about the actual event

a tyrant who murdered thousands dying is not a tragic event

i'm fairly sure deaths are tragic to the majority of families

it's kind of a given with family bonds etc

I gave an honest opinion, expressed my true feelings, apparently keyboard thugs like canaryboy can't handle that, he wants to silence dissenters in the same way Stalin did, by sending them to the Gulag.

No one can disturb canaryboy's happy little world, a world full of Pixies and Jamaican bobsled teams. You know what? i'll continue to speak the truth because the truth is all there is.

I remember someone old once said to me: "That lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
You know what? it's as true today as the day it was first said.

Well I won't back down, No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down.

bbc2 now - soldiers that have been killed in iraq !!

larrence 15 Nov 21:15
could be very emotional and moving, god bless them all.

larrence 15 Nov 21:27
makes me so cross, i feel for all famillies who lost their love ones!!! so sad!!



so are these deaths not genuine tragedies?

larrence seemed to care a great deal i would say. he started the thread. or are soldiers celebs these days?

i can handle the fact you're a numpty very well

and in what way was i being a keyboard thug exactly?

LOL at backhighlaylow.

canary one of the very few pure truthsayers around imo

You're a keyboard thug and a PC bully. You couldn't just accept that i had a different perspective on the issue, you had to mock and belittle me. You've used a tribute thread to stroke your own ego.

This is probably the first time someone has stood up to you and now look at ya, you're stumbling around punch drunk, not sure what to do.

Let me just say this, If You Want To Dance Cowboy, Let's Dance.

lol

btw this thread was written to report her death

but got sidetracked by your moralising.

think the media have been unduly harsh

keep hearing her being called a clueless actress

i wouldn't say it got sidetracked

my first reply was a good 10 hours after any comments of it being tragic

i merely responded to the numpty who chose to take it in a different direction

Right,so now we can all agree that there are different degrees of tragedy.
For those that still doubt that:A member of your family dying is more tragic for you than it is for me and vice versa.
So,I think (and so do you if you stop and think about it)that the death of Brittany Murphy isn't one of the great tragedies.
That's all.

always happens on these threads though. this one hasn't been so bad really. it's not like she was jade goody or something.

the family thing is perfectly valid and completely obvious

comparing that to this death is totally irrelevant as it's nothing to do with personal tragedy

so it can't be commented on a personal level, just as an event

an event which is obviously tragic unless you're a bit stupid

CB
So all deaths are tragic are they?

i'd say the majority of deaths where a young person who has everything to live for is a tragedy yes

and when they're talented, it's a tragedy for their field of work too

Always the last remark, always with the derogatory or sarcastic comment to make yourself feel big.
You're petrified that i've exposed ya in front of your chit chat buddies, your good time pals.

You know what i think ? i don't think you really care that this girl has died, in fact i think you're happy about it, you live for this kind of thing, it gives you a distraction from your boring unsatisfying life.

You're the type of person that gets excited before the evening news starts, hoping that something has happened, hoping that someone has died or something's been blown up. It fills the void in your life.

Admit it, admit it right now, you're an addict and celebrity death is your crack cocaine.

nurse!

So I'm supposed to feel sad because someone I never knew existed has ceased to exist ?
Maybe I should scan the newspapers of the entire globe and read the details of the various deaths of the unknown masses . I should then draw up a scale which would reveal the depth of tragedy of a particular demise. I would turn up my sadness level for the most tragic and feel just a mild pang of pity at the least.

I would live a life of nihilistic vicarious sadness over the fate of deceased strangers.....oh , but I should also scour the forums of the world so that I could emote about my noble feelings and show what a beacon of caring and compassion I am . Yeah , right . :^0

That is an implicit admission that all deaths aren't tragic.
You see that the death of a little known drug taking actress is a tragedy.
I don't.
We can probably leave it there now CB.

Always the last remark, always with the derogatory or sarcastic comment to make yourself feel big.

well yes a 100 year old person dying isn't exactly a tragic event

and how well or little known she is to people doesn't bother me

or her weaknesses

i just see her as a talented young woman with a life ahead of her and plenty to offer

and that being snuffed out is tragic

ubiant 22 Dec 11:55
So I'm supposed to feel sad because someone I never knew existed has ceased to exist ?

nope absolutely not

who on earth told you this btw?

Perhaps we could make a list. Starting with your,

A) Some one like your Princess Di or Mother Theresa

Down to.

Z) Some old dosser that dies alone and lonely with no family and who won't be mourned or missed by anybody.

Then when somebody like Ms Murphy dies, we could agree that she was a J or a K and the forum could go back to being a peaceful, friendly place where everybody gets along :)

yeah i think a ranking system is a great idea

btw, i can't say i was actually sad about her death, given it has been implied i am

but i can be objective and understand when something is tragic

it doesn't have to mean i need to get emotional about it

canaryboy 22 Dec 10:15
can you define a genuine tragedy please

Starkeys riding of Dancing Brave in the Derby
Crisp being caught on the run-in by Rummy
And that bus running out of control and killing about 40 nigerians the other day
