Heath Ledger found dead

[BohsPartisan]

Why get so worked up over the death of some you (presumably) never met?

Don't be presuming, I get the feeling Magicme is a 6 degrees of separation microcosm.

Why get so worked up over the death of some you (presumably) never met?

Why indeed??

Not a dig at Magicme by any means but:

I'll never understand the empathy lots of people feel for various celeb types.

I'd be lying if I said I greeted his death with anything greater than mild surprise.

I've only so much of my soul to dole around and I prefer devoting my emotion to those that are actually close to me.

And even at that you've no guarentee your soul isn't going to take a hammering anyway.

So in summary Heath Ledgers death:

Bad time for the Ledgers and their associates - Of Course
Bad time for LTID - Not really No (Well a bit but my several stresses at the moment are all unHeathrelated)






On a slight aside, well done to all those sick ghouls who formed an orderly que to get a glimpse at the mans lifeless body

Maybe others have more soul?

I find people offended by people's empathy worse than people with empathy for everything. And again, not a dig at you LTID, but who the **** are we to tell anyone who they shouild or shouldn't feel empathy/sympathy for. His dying shocked me a little, but thats it. Didn't feel the need to come on here to have a go at those who felt something

BTW his best film was 10 Things I Hate About You and his Joker was already scaring the crap out of me

Good actor and a sad event.

What's the current thinking on what happened? Radio was reporting it as an accidental overdose earlier

They don't know. Some outlets were reporting that pills were found by his body, but the police over there corrected that to something more like that there were pills found in the room.

Truth is, the only fact in this story is that Heath Ledger is dead. Everything else is idle speculation until the autopsy comes back.

The people who keep mentioning drugs will look like idiots if it turns out to have been a heart defect or something. Not that any of them would apologise for it.

Maybe...............

I doubt it though

I find people offended by people's empathy worse than people with empathy for everything. And again, not a dig at you LTID, but who the **** are we to tell anyone who they shouild or shouldn't feel empathy/sympathy for. His dying shocked me a little, but thats it.

You might want to point out where I have a go at anyone??

Or tell anyone what they should or shouldn't feel??

Or where I have been offended by people's empathy??

I said I don't understand.

I don't.

That is all.

[Jamjar]

Just saw it on the news there. Only 28.
Once again drugs seem to be the cause of death. Jesus...........what is the world coming to? You never know who could be next, i mean Katy French one day, Heath Ledger the next, who knows it could be one of your own family tomorrow?

So you think it was some sort of random thing that happened and not anything to do with them filling their faces with coke and booze ?

[Jamjar]

Was very shocked and upset by this last nite. Could hardly sleep. But then lately sleep isnt that easy to find so maybe Heath dying was just another excuse for my insomnia.

RIP Heath, poor little daughter.

Have you tried sleeping tablets.........oh no wait, maybe not such a good idea.

Well I clearly pointed out I wasn't having a go at you...

[Lim till i die]

Well I clearly pointed out I wasn't having a go at you...

Fair point

I was merely thinking aloud I suppose

I mean on the same day as this Heath Ledger thing you had that truly awful case of that balcony dad in Greece, plus little babies dying in hospitals in Gaza because the fourth most powerful military in the world felt like it.

That's just two tragic stories off the top of my head.

I don't know, I guess I was just saying that if people thought about it too much they wouldn't get much sleep at all, ever

[Ash]

Again, not having a go at anyone, each to their own and all that, but like
LtiD I never really understood people getting upset about the passing of
people they only knew from a magazine or the big screen.

When I heard the news report my initial reaction was ... who the hell is that!!

But hey, everyone's different and that's what makes the world go 'round.

[anto1208]

I could understand people being upset on just a human level a 28 year old died thats sad a little girl looses her dad thats sad, or if he was your favourite actor then you wont see him in any more films thats sad.

But to loose sleep over it im sorry but thats ridiculous. What s the stats is it one person dies in the world every second if you where to loose sleep over people you dont know dying you would be an absolute mess.

I'd a similar reaction which demonstrated just how far out of touch I'm getting in all such matters. I knew the name but had a completely different face on it ...two faces actually -one belonging to a guy in the Lord of the Rings movies and the other belonging to a guy who was in Bridget Jones Diary.

Either way ...it transpired Heath Ledger could've fonged me in the nads and I wouldn't have known who'd hit me.

Oh ...and then they showed a clip of Brokeback Mountain on the news and he's in a Supermarket?!? I thought that was supposed to be set in wild west cowboy times?

No, it's a modern setting. 1963, or at least that's when the book was set.

well it starts in the 60s and ends in the 80s

[Block G Raptor]

well it starts in the 60s and ends in the 80s

I thought it felt very long in the Cinema, Didn't realise I'd been in there for 20 years

A mate of mine, not entirely appraised of the subject matter, took his Ma to see it.

She thought he was coming out ...and how!!!

These gombeens have reared their moronic heads again

[micls]

These gombeens have reared their moronic heads again

If that kind of scum turned up to disrespect a funeral of a family member of mine then I wouldnt be held responsible for what Id do to him

[Lim till i die]

These gombeens have reared their moronic heads again

Just reading down through the report.......

Is Fox News really using Wikipedia to source its new stories

[Block G Raptor]

If that kind of scum turned up to disrespect a funeral of a family member of mine then I wouldnt be held responsible for what Id do to him

Should be open season on these Mental cases!

"Heath Ledger is in Hell now, beginning his eternal sentence" nobody who is of sound mind would say such a thing!
