Onky, poor form in this thread fella
[/quote] fuck off. Not one person who has posted their 'oh shame' guilt saddled little posts really gives a fuck about jade goody. Everyone puts aside their usual 'shes a vacuous, horrible, media whore cunt' feelings and gets all faux sad and shit, whereas when she dies, they'll all whip out the jade gøody jokes...well actually they'll wait a week or two so as not to get leapt on as insensitive cunts. In reality, they wont give jade goody a second thought when they find out shes popped off this mortal coil. Yeah, shame for the kids of course, but life and death are what they are, and no amount of tiptoeing around it will change that. Should i (because cancer is a terrible thing) pretend i give a fuck about jade goody? Maybe, but fuck that, id rather be honest and seen a cunt, than simper and seen a wonderful human being. I dont want her dead of course, but could i (or you or anyone in this fucking thread) actually give a fuck? No. We couldnt right? So why pretend? Good luck to her, i hope she pulls through 'for the kids' (btw would it be acceptable to not give a fuck if she had no kids?)....im rambling, sorry if ive offended you, i like you, and i didnt mean to do that.

Don't have to pretend to like someone to feel sorry for them,Andy.

Empathising/sympathising with people we don't know or give a hairy fuck about is one of those traits characteristic of humanity.
Richard Dawkins (not that I agree with him on that much), calls it the altruistic gene, or something.
