one of the things that annoys me though (and believe me there are many many of them lol) is that we dont seem to be doing anything acitively about it as a whole ..we all sit and say it's wrong and we say why we think it is wrong and what we would do about it if we were in the position to do so ...and yet ....that is where it ends ....now for instance jade goody et al ...and i certainly dont mean any disrespect to her just an example ...they only do what it is they do becuase they get paid ...now publicists like max clifford only does what he does for money ..papers/mags only put kerry whatsherface's latest diet faddy thing in cause it makes them money it sells ...and the public buys ....and i know not everyone does black ruby herself has said she doesnt ...that's great trully it is ...but while there is still a market for it all it will continue ....and kids will have people like kerry or jordan to look up to ..so in effect we have a well paid page three stripper(jordan) a drug abuser(kerry) and a racist(jade) to look up to ...and yet complaints are made when kids take drugs ..we say (the perverbial we here) society has gone to the dogs ...and it is true....but dont we have to share some of the blame if we continue to act in the way we are ...please know i know that it isnt people on here i mean when i say we i mean society as a whole ...i would never ever accuse a dfw of wasting money on celeb magazines ...we cant afford to lol
A different example for example is when a new school is erected the surrounding area for about a mile is traffic calmed so the kids are 'safer'; which isnt a bad thing. But for me it sends out the wrong signal, rather than teach the kids that the road IS a dangerous place and you can get killed, make the drivers take responsibility.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

A little voice inside of me says I don't really care about Jade cause she's not a proper celebrity. Of course it is tragic but there are thousands of people out there dieing of it too. 'Proper' celebs like Sean Connery and others who have it then fair enough, I switch off when she comes on. Its like the parents of Madeline McCann, WHY did they get all the publicity when no one else has? They left their kids alone yet they were headline news, meeting the pope and trying to head-up European Road sign child abdcuting warning systems; how bothered were they about it before Maddy was kidnapped. Very very sad though, but we seem to have lost sight that they had left their under 16 year old children unsupervised, surely they should be locked up???This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

with regards to Jade, I think what is happening is tragic, at such a young age. I've been following the story, quietly from the sidelines over on Digital Spy and you would not believe the venom, hate and anger there is for 1 individual human being on that site.
My OH is one of the people who actually spits out venom when talking about Jade....he says she is everything he detests about society today...when actually she is a victim of our society today..IMHO!
Like I say to him, if someone offered you a million pounds to do a photoshoot and you were dying of cancer would you turn it down.....its like Jordan...she gets offered loads of money to do what she does....should she turn it down...maybe get a job at Tesco? on £5 an hour.....(debate on how much Tesco pays per hour can be found on another thread.....):rotfl:Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford
