QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) "A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die." - Kafka I never understood why people think it's selfish. Have you (I'm talking to everyone here) ever been so unbearably depressed that you wanted to kill yourself? Talk to anyone that has, read all the literature about suicide out there. It's not a matter of selfishness. Perhaps if people actually took time to figure out why somebody wanted to end their life, it'd happen less often. Calling somebody selfish is only adding fuel to the fire, it's only pushing them further away from where they want to be. If you ask me, it's selfish to judge those who only need acceptance. Knowing someone who committed suicide and watching their family have to deal with what they left behind... this is total bulls***.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 06:01 PM) I have no knowledge of how the paternity test works No idea either.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) I didn't hate her by any stretch, I just didn't want to see or hear her because I didn't think she had any entertainment value aside from taking her clothes off. Even at that, I didn't think she was extraordinary. Nice enough looking when younger and thinner, then kind of sloppy and ditzy when a little older and fatter, then odd-looking and ditzy when older and thinner again. She simply wasn't interesting to me at all. Her passing is still sad in a general sense for me, but I don't feel any particular sense of personal loss when any celebrity passes. I don't feel like I know any celebrities, so a general sadness for those they leave behind is all I really feel when I hear this type of story. I didn't mean to imply that those that don't like her, hate her. Indifferent is what I would guess most feel. Wow.. this is gross. On Wednesday, a judge in Los Angeles had ordered Anna Nicole Smith to submit her daughter, Dannielynn, to DNA testing by February 21st, after she had failed to a court-ordered date to comply last month. Smith has been in a protracted legal battle with photojournalist and former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the true father of Anna's baby. Smith's lawyer and "boyfriend" Howard K. Stern is listed on the birth certificate as the father. After the news of Smith's death, an emergency hearing was scheduled to occur in Los Angeles on Friday regarding the paternity of Dannielynn. Birkhead's attorney, Deborah Opri, wants to take a DNA swab from Smith's corpse, which her lawyer calls "the lowest form of behavior I've ever heard of."

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 05:04 PM) Lotta speculating there, so I'll do some of my own. She was 40 years old and her kid is a baby. It's at least possible that she might have starightened herself out and given her kid a healthy, loving home. I've never really understood the public hate toward ANC and it seems to have always been around, not just lately. You're no fun. I think people hate her cause she spoke without consequence. Even regarding her marriage. The son that was stopping her from getting the money never wavered from the fact that he believed she loved his father sincerely. But where's the fun in not s***ting on someone flamboyant and out there. QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) last word winner! last word winner! So much better than being the douchebag winner..

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) Edit on your post? It was a joke and it gets done all the time. Anna Nicole was an idiot who married a billionaire and told the world it was out of love, and now she just abandoned her newborn daughter because she was too selfish to get her life in gear. I couldn't care less if I belittle her life, because she could have done anything with everything she was given just based on her genetics, yet she was a waste... OK. I didn't like it. My right. You did it. Your right. Move on. Waste... what an ironic word.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:09 PM) I did, in a previous post, say RIP and my thoughts go out to her newborn daughter... but take the high-road all you want... what people are typing is what you're thinking anyway. You just talked as much s*** about Anna in this post as I did in this entire thread, yet you tried to call me out. Take it easy, and just calm down. Nope. I'm not thinking anything s***ty about someone's death. I'll leave that for the scumbags. I didn't talk any s*** about her, but I see why others would. She tossed plenty of ammo out there. I'm calm. QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:09 PM) I did not and would not say anything bad about her daughter, that's just messed up. Take a chill pill. I didn't say you did. I commented on your lack of class for the edit on my post. I'm chill. No need for pills.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) Didn't the guy fighting for custody want the baby drug tested? I'd be shocked if its anything but an OD. The question would be if it was accidental or not. I think I did hear that. I can't imagine what her personal hell must have been like. A shame.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) I'm watching CNN and have been for the last half hour. Not one mention of her OD'ing and it wasn't even a possibility on the list of things people speculated could be the cause. I really couldn't care less, I was just wondering if you had a link or something definitive. CNN's ticker said it minutes after her death was announced. "Possible OD". QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 03:50 PM) It's Trim Spa, baby!! Sadly, that would not be a shock. If she was still taking it I'm sure she had the Ephedra formula.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) Where are you seeing this? Yahoo, CNN, LA Times.com, People Mag.com All "suspecting". Official statement is "cause of death is under investigation". ETA, Court TV just got on the OD train as well.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) I hope she didn't take her own life in a drug related form because she has a baby out there. Taking your own life might be the most selfish thing anyone could ever do. Anyways RIP. Can't think if anything more selfish. Early reports (Yahoo, CNN, local news stations claiming to have hospital sources) are saying OD.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) I know you did. You edited it because Steff called you out. You don't 'feel any different. Naa. It wasn't his. I don't have a problem with folks talking s*** about her. She brought it on. Talking s*** about her kid though.. that's pretty pussy.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 03:12 PM) Fixed that for ya... It's always best to show the lack of class you have, yourself. Good job.

Yep.. not at all disappointed at the level of class in this thread.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 01:59 PM) Wow... and Wow... You got me beat.. I couldn't get more than a "hu?" out. So would those who are reproductively challenged be forced to divorce?

Forwarded from my sister friend from a friends friends friend so I have no idea if it's true. One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday; on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will." The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 02:23 PM) According to Deadspin, every person they've asked has said the player is John Amaechi. The Book is called "The Man in the Middle" and is being published by ESPN books. So as of Valentine's day ESPN will be even more unbearable (if that's even possible.) I thought this was out long ago when he was photographed kissing his then boyfriend at nightclubs all over Europe when he played there. Oh well.. good luck to him. Sadly, his life will likely suck for a while.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 04:04 PM) i dont wish i know i am. To be, you must have a vagina.

The running game was working - not as it should but at that point it was the ONLY thing working - so I still don't get why after Benson got hurt they completely tossed it out the window.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 09:02 AM) West loop and across the Kennedy into Greektown are supposed to be still bargains. I know Rockraines and Whitesoxwilkes from WSI live out there. It aint a bargin where K&M live.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 09:12 PM) Just thought that blog post was fitting here. Rex definitely didn't write that... everything is spelled right.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 08:45 PM) I strongly disagree. It's all in his head. We've seen him make throws that few in the NFL can. He just needs to get his head straight. Those who disagree either just hate Rex or are still sour over the Super Bowl loss. Or in your case, Hurricanes fans. I would settle for out of his ass at this point. Rex has been schooled time and time and time again. He's not getting it - likely thanks to the s***ty Florida school system. Yes he can play, the problem is he knows it and his nose is too far up in the air afraid to smell his own s***. What he needs is a good ass kicking, or a humiliation in the SB hopefully, to bring him back down to earth. And I don't hate him, nor am I sour about the SB. What I am is sick and tired of watching him continue to struggle with s*** he should be doing in his sleep coming out of camp. He's a pro football player. He needs to start acting like one and since i'm on a roll here he also needs to stfu to the media when he gets deservingly razzed.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 04:40 PM) 26 years old...i work in the loop as well. I want a place with parking and at least 2 bedrooms. There are a few condo's off Harrison near Congress in the $330 range I know of. Def 2 bedrooms, not sure about parking. Is that a must?

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 05:54 PM) Hang on.... *pulls his pants back up* It is now!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 05:33 PM) That they can. And Steff only alluded to it being slightly racist. The first rule of humor though is it's only funny if somebody is injured, maligned, tricked, or ridiculed, so in all of the adds somebody has to take either a figurative or literal pratfall. In this instance it was the various minority races caricaturized, and it's only funny because of our preconceived stereotypes. Again, I thought the ad was funny and I don't think it's going to cause any race riots. But if Mencia is the star of the ad you know the vehicle is going to be racial stereotype humor. That's his thing and he's pretty much a one-trick pony. Spot on. Don't get me wrong, I laughed my ass off, with my Mexican bro-in-law and son-in-laws AA neighbor, and as soon as I caught my breath said "wow, that was a bit close to the line..." when they were done laughing they agreed. Is that reasonable enough? Is the full moon gone yet? Good grief...
