In rising popularity (sort of)

Patsy Byrne, Edna Dore, Bill Kerr, Dora Bryan, Sam Kelly,
Roger Lloyd Pack, Sid Caesar, Rik Mayall, Mickey Rooney,
Harold Ramis, Bob Hoskins, Robin Williams

... and now Joan Rivers

(some of the above are obviously vaguely comedians)

She was only joking recently about dropping dead, and then she almost drooped dead, was kept alive for a sometime and died.

She was flippant about others dying, even innocent people in wars, no disrespect to her but now it`s her time. She is dead.

The way she spoke about innocent Palestinian children dying recently was abhorrent.

She had no respect for many who died, so I don't blame anyone who has no sympathy for her.

And what is that have to do with anything I am talking about ???

Good for her i could not care about how healthy, rich and famous she was Still does not excuse the vile that came out of her mouth a few weeks ago, these celebrities think they can say fecking anything because of who they are !

She can have her opinions as to which you are entitled to but she did not have to spout such hatred down the other end of a camera !!

she should keep her opinions to herself OR spout them in privacy without having to tell the world, but then as you say she won't be able to say much more will she Whoops
Report Eeternaloptimist • September 4, 2014 11:05 PM BST
Her spiel was to take an essential truth and then embellish it for comedic or shock effect. What part of her diatribe was wrong though? The people did vote for Hamas. That was true. Hamas have declared war on Israel that is also true. They keep getting a pasting. That is also true. And yet the people perpetuate their misery and defeat by voting for Hamas. That is also true. So the people are a bit stupid as she said.

Apart from the fact that you think her comments were insensitive or inhumane she was actually making a point which needs to be addressed by the Palestinian people.

You have no such excuse. We have a long tradition of not speaking ill of the dead. What is noteworthy is how easy some people find it to go against this tradition when it suits. When he died many people who profoundly disagreed with his ruinous politics paid their respects to Tony Benn. When Thatcher died you couldn't move for gurning left wing imbeciles dancing in the street.

Which says it all really.

Thatcher did not open the borders to uncontrolled immigration?she switched the lights back on and gave us one of the worlds strongest economies from the "sick man of europe". Those who celebrated in the streets helped to make us sick.
