| Quote: Invincible "As with a few things I read of yours, you're sitting on the fence a little.
Your opinions on this matter, like other issues come across (to me anyway) rather confusing.
Wouldn't wish death on anyone, but as for Gordon Brown and David Cameron expressing their sadness regarding the death of Jade Goody, did they make these comments about Wendy Richards or the lass who died from the skiing accident this week?'" Whats confusing about it? I don't agree with the way she dealt with things and thought I had made that perfectly clear in my posts on the matter?
But that doesn't change the fact that a) with how she has made herself famous it was inevitable that she would make the decision to play her death for everything she could and b) its tragic for her family and friends that she has died - no matter what we think about her it doesn't change what they will be going through.

The post I saw on Facebook on Jord Rhinos page with you defending jade Goody quite vigerously, and then I read on here the implication from you that she is/was a greedy so and so and the "media cirucs" was to be expected from her.
I think I know where you're coming from and understand your views. It is just they do seem abit mixed sometimes.
I think I'm going to have a nap on the train tommorrow, don't think I will bother reading a paper

| The sooner they bury or burn her the better, then everyone who cares can get back to watching Jeremy Kylie.

| i don't think she was racist, just an ignorant stupid woman who became 'famous' for being as thick as sh*t.
her life, and death was a circus and like longun the sooner she is planted the better.
the only people who have my sympathy are her kids who are left with that toerag who will squander and steal the money she cashed in on

| Quote: gateaux "Money isn't everything in life, as myself and Dave Heron's Moustache both eluded to before - you can't buy happiness or lifelong memories by pushing every second of your life to the front in the media, you can't make your children proud of you and set them a lifelong positive example by doing that. Her reaction to her diagnosis although not in the slightest bit shocking certainly won't (in my opinion) do her sons any good.'"
I know what your saying and I do feel that she should of stopped the media when she got married and when she knew she only had a few weeks to live.

a few of us mentioned Jane Tomlinson at lunch today
Yes the logic behind the Goody publictity of raising cash for the kids and raising awareness for smear tests was good but the red tops took her to the messiah status, part of me wishes Tomlinson had the same treatment

She didn't appear to be doing what she did for self gain at all.

| Quote: McLaren_Field "
So was Jade Goody wrong for dying on camera ?
Its the only skill she had, her earnings before her diagnosis would have been down to zero, possibly with legal threats from her franchised products suppliers (how much does it cost to pull "Jade" perfume off the shelves) and with an expensive lifestyle to pay for and two children to provide a future for then who can blame her - I don't.
The fekkwits who buy the magazines are another story, and I include my own family in that...'"
It's a tough decision to make definately, and from Jade's point of view it's a no-brainer - take the money and have your last shot at fame - so you are right, it's difficult to blame the girl. But I'm not sure it's the best decision for her kids. You and me will have no interest in her kids lives, or any story that follows - and if the World was made up of people who thought like that then her decision was correct. But the World is made up of very different people and there will be a huge, un-ending appetite for stories about the children, the husband, the father (who is another talentless Z list celeb). There is no amount of money that I would take if I thought it would make a mess of my kids lives. A clean slate is better than a marked card.
In hope they leave all alone now and in 10 years time it's all forgotten.

| I've never bought a copy of OK or Hello or heat magazine. Never. Not interested.
I wasn't interested in Jade Goody's "career".
I don't, however, find anything in the suffering and death of a young woman with children that makes me want to pontificate about my point of view on an internet forum.
