My goodness, queenslander, I'm agreeing with you again!
But you are quite right. None of us knew this Anna Nicole Smith, we just thought we did because she was in the news a bit. None of us can judge what she was really like. Yes, it is a shame when anyone dies especially when they die young. But as said, there are many thousands of people that we DON'T know dying young everyday around the world, in terrible circumstances.... just because their deaths are not reported to us in the media and we don't know anything about their lives, it doesn't make it any more the better.
You know, it always gets me about the media. For example, the UK media will quite happily rush over a report of "thousands of dead" when there is a tragedy somewhere on the other side of the world, unless there are "several Brits" that were involved.
Why does it matter? Is a life more important because it is "one of your countrymen?" No! I don't know them one way or the other, brits or non-brits, but it is still a life, still a tragedy! That really irks me about the media (one of the many things).
Now what would be good, is if there is any money inherited by Anna nicole smith which is left (which she now cannot use herself anymore), then that be given to charities which are trying to improve the lives of people around the world and prevent other people dying young.
Note: please, no-one think I am trying to preach at any of you people here. I am just saying my opinions and what I think.
Cheers,
