    Oh another one that was so tragic Mitch Hedberg...OMG the man was one of the most hilarious comedians I ever heard. Seems the really funny ones have a very dark side to them.

    Princess Diana. I still remember exactly where I was & what I was doing the moment I heard.

    Terrible loss.

    Mother Teresa. She held me in her arms when i was a baby ( Im from Calcutta) She never acted like she was famous one bit. Everyone saw her walking around the streets helping people all the time. :brokenheart: We need more people like her.


    Mother Teresa was a fraud. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction .As a result, she publicly supported policies that led directly to greater suffering among the people she had pledged to help, discouraging the use of prophylactics that could have prevented unwanted pregnancies and slowed the spread of AIDS and other STDs.

    Mother Teresa’s Homes of the Dying served only to warehouse the sick in unsanitary conditions until they were too weak to protest against baptism into the Catholic faith. Lets not even get into the atrocities at her homes for the dying. The last thing we need isore people that think suffering is a good thing.

    A real piece of work you are.

    well I bought into the myth to until I heard first hand accounts which led me to research the woman a little.


    "heard" and researched......never really met. Or worked with. Or really experienced any kind of appreciation. I doubt if you would ever go down there yourself and find out =)

    so then I guess my best friend and her family were just making stuff up for ****s and giggles

    Ahmadinejad said the holocaust didn't happen, I could take his word like you did with the family of your friend. But I actually researched by studying the topic and going to the places and saw the concentration camps. I could've based my "research" on what I heard from some conspiracy theorist and took their word and accepted that 6 million European Jewish people migrated to the unknown, and all those mass graves were "frauds".

    You are entitled to an opinion but stating what you heard from another person as a fact isn't really an opinion more along the lines of spreading a rumor or a lie.

    You know those people that go to like, Olive Garden, and they've been there before and they were happy with it, and then one day a waiter was a little snippy and they stomp their feet and whine and cry and decide they're never going to another Olive Garden ever ever again, and they tell all their friends how horrible Olive Garden is because one time, the waiter was a little too snippy...? Yepp, that's what's going on here.

    olive garden is horrible. from its bad bread sticks and salad to its sub par pasta.

    lol. I like Olive Garden well enough. I can get better Italian food that's really italian elsewhere, but it's good when I don't have a huge budget.

    Are you ignoring the fact that they MAKE that food with TOP QUALITY microwaves and PRE-MADE, PROCESSED sauces? I have first-hand experience of this from my friend and I think you should know that MY homemade Italian food is so much better than that crap. All my friends and family say so in my hometown. Too bad I don't have a chain restaurant for my food...so much better than Olive Garden's cruelty to food and fraudulence.

    Do your research, people! Gawwwwlllll.

    Meh. I like it well enough as well. I don't care about the method of preparation as long as it tickles my taste buds appropriately. But then again, I'm not a food snob. If it tastes good and if it fits my caloric goals, I'll enjoy it.

    Chris Benoit. I had become a huge fan of his, and then for him to do what he did just completely killed me. Rough.

    You obviously had an amazing childhood! I had to check your profile, you don't look a day over 27. I saw one of his shows on YouTube about the war in Iraq and stuff, was deeply depressed that he is still so relevant in this day and age.

    Larry Hagman.

    I have been a big Dallas fan since I was 9 back in 1978, I still watch it to this day. I was delighted when it returned and I was so pleased to see JR up to his old tricks again. Larry will always be JR and JR will always be Larry, there will never be another.

    Have you been to India? Have you seen the suffering and horrible conditions? Have you seen people walk up to her crying for help? She walked with my dad one time and on their way she saw a man fallen in the gutter. Without even thinking she bent down and tried to pick him. She couldnt, so my dad lifted him up and took him back with her where she put him on a clean bed and got nurses to clean him feed him.... Im not Catholic...ive seen her work, first hand. ....this comment you wrote is truly poisonous. Have you tried helping people even a fraction of the way she tried?


    I've helped people more. I don't belive suffering and pain and death are good things like her. The children strapped down to beds and gagged, the horrible conditions people faced in her homes. Please tell me how they are good things.she refused pain medication to dying people so they could be more like Jesus in their suffering.

    Well I can certainly see that. At the young age of 36 I see you have helped a lot. However, I fail to understand how mocking somebody who have helped (admittedly fewer people than you while you worked in retail in Texas, playing on your iPhone, working out on the track) makes them a fraud? I mean I know you have lived a very tough life (what with the phone contract that you're having a hard time getting out of etc) but.. just try to imagine a woman helping out poor kids. That isn't too shabby in my humble opinion.

    Unfortunately, public cannot nominate Noble prize nominations else I would nominate you for noble prize, Poison.

    I'd call it a Not So Noble, and I'd go with Strychnine. It's slow n painful. Thumbs Up!

    Heath Ledger. It seemed so out of the blue.


    Selena. Because she was murdered and she had been kind of a wholesome role model for many young hispanic girls here in Texas. Nothing sadder than seeing all of her very young fans mourning her.
