^ to be honest I see his point. It's totally hypocritical to forbid anyone to make light of a ten year old girl dying yet allow jokes about Jade Goody and the Air France tragedy.

Either everything should be sacred, or nothing should be.

mikemac · 20-06-2009 12:48PM

Very sad story. Fair play to Pixer

handsomecake has a fair point, I read a few pages of the Air France thread and just left it

exactly my point. im not usually like this. im acting the arse hole to highlight the point. yeah the story was heart warming,yeah she was young,yeah she was innocent,yeah she had cancer which was not her fault.

people on boards could be related to a person from one or more of the following categories
a rape victim
an alcholic
a drug addict
a cancer patient
a non nuclear family
adopted
disabled etc etcetc

people make light of all the above every day on here despite the fact it could(more then likely) upset readers. dont pick and choose which stories warrant respect or not. either have a forum(moral) charter or not.

i remember a story of a disabled boy. think his second name was baxter and his mother wanted to get him a grilfriend to sleep with him.and ye all took the piss.short memories on here

are you stupid??? i campaigned in helpdesk to have more seroius discussion in AH.i got shot down by all and sundry.
jade goody died and was pilloried on here.
couple of hundred people died in air france crash.........mass punning piss taking ensues? if i go trawling into either of those threads will i find a post from you in there calling for people to stop???? why the moral high ground with my post?

to quote what gets said on here every day " sure its after hours ,what dya expect?" . now off with you to humanities.by the way people related to me(one particularly close) died from cancer.so dont give me this courage bull****.she was probably afraid of the dark and tarantulas. she is not john mclane

So you have died from cancer eh?
Like the little girl?
Fair play to you been able to post then.
I take my hat off to you.

You are contradicting yourself.You wanted more mature discussion in AH,complained about the piss taking in the other threads and yet you still make comments like "i hope she goes to hell"

Genuine empathy was been expressed in this thread,an AH mod stated on the first page,no bollixing,the same mod also held his hands up and said that the mods should have handled the air france thread differently but you still make comments like that.

To prove a fcuking point.

You are propogating exactly what you have complained about.

Threads like this are the reason I never post in AH or even bother reading any of the threads.

The thread name happened to catch my eye so I clicked on it but as per fcuking usual its descended into farce.

Just add yore ma in your next post,then it will be complete.

PS,John McClane,FFS,take your head out of your arse will you.

This story strikes a chord with most of us, reminding us of our own childhood and when the simplest of things made us happy. A little girl who hung in there just to watch a cartoon... damn hayfever/chopping onions/face rain

I understand that some of ye are pissed off at the the fact that people made jokes about Jade Goody and Air France. **** it, I would be too, But I've not read those threads (I'm new here) Major disasters, well, we're just desensitised to 'em. Jade Goody, we saw her live and die in the media, privvy to all her highs and lows. The stupid things she said and how she turned it all around.
Different story here though IMO. This is about a little girl who doesn't get to grow up, say stupid things, redeem herself and become desensitised like the rest of us. But at least her dying wish was granted. Not a make-a-wish-foundation see the grand canyon parachute onto a trampoline and bounce into outer space wish. Just a wish to see a cartoon. Granted. I hope that can in some small way offer some consolation to her parents.

It was already said on this thread by one of the moderators that that thread wasn't handled correctly.

How does this give you any excuse to try and drag this thread down with scumbag comments?

What about the parents of ever other child that died too young? What about every other ****ing tragedy? This story isn't about them. This is about that 10 year old girl. Not that I don't feel sorry for the parents/loved ones of other tragedies, I'm just replying to the thread. I don't get you. Are you suggesting I don't care about any other story and my empathy is limited to this? Because it isn't.

Rabies · 20-06-2009 02:08PM

I've already said the Air France thread wasn't handled right.

This is an AH mod learning from his mistake.

You complain when it handled wrong, when we try to do what you like people moan about us not being consistant.

*Sigh*

We're Irish. We have to complain. Makes us feel better

Maddison · 20-06-2009 02:13PM

Epik, I dont think that tw@t did any thinking before he posted. I can see where you are coming from....It is so sad to see or hear of the death of a young child that hasnt yet experienced life yet. I normally avoid reading anything involving children dying, It just makes me so sad.

epik · 20-06-2009 02:14PM

Things get out of hand quickly here then?

I must take a look at this Air France debacle...

jape · 20-06-2009 02:25PM

I'm actually with handsomecake on this one, you can't allow people to take the piss out of, for example - a serial rapist where 10 rape victims are involved and allow comments like this :

whats the crime? a beautiful woman having sex with all these men..call the FBI

and similar with taking the piss out of a down syndrome boy, and allow a comment like this

why doesn't she ride him...... I mean they're not related.

or this in a thread about suicide

i secretly admire people who kill themselves.

and then ban people for similar comments on this thread? If you allow it elsewhere, how are people supposed to know what is allowed and what is not?

overexcitedaj · 20-06-2009 02:26PM

If people want to complain about AH modding go elsewhere. Life is about learning from mistakes people :mad:
( back on topic )
Thats one of the saddest things ive ever read. We all give out about "the corporation" but its so nice to see there is some genuine good honest people still out there.

Saibh · 20-06-2009 02:36PM

To me this story is about what the parents did to give their dying child what she had asked for. In this case it was a movie that wasn't released yet and pixar helped out.

I had a cousin who died when she was 11. She loved animals. Her parents got her a dog, cat, ducks, a few others I can't remember.

They would have done anything to give her what she wanted, like the parents of this child.

That_Guy · 20-06-2009 02:40PM

Oh noes. I has tears on my laptop.

epik · 20-06-2009 02:45PM

Thanks Maddison,
Also another cool Pixar related story on metafilter http://www.metafilter.com/72958/Wowe-Malthusian-Fear-Mongering-Can-Be-Annoying

Scroll down a bit to see it.... Its just cool.

epik · 20-06-2009 02:46PM

Its the post that start with - Here's a true story about how awesome Pixar is.

Just for anyone who hasn't seen it

I think the fact that companies are made up of people, many of whom have moral codes, will prevent this from being twisted into a marketing stunt johnny. Most people won't capitalise on the death of a child.

Lol.

Now if that isn't the saddest thing you've read all week, you're a heartless inhuman bastard.

I think it's quite uplifting actually (not that the girl died, obv, but that she got to see her film.) She was very brave, can't imagine how scary that was for her. I feel sorry for her parents, too. But she got her 'happy ending' , in a way, fair play to Pixar.

AckwelFoley · 20-06-2009 03:18PM

Really nice story.. Sad of course but to grant a little girls wish like that before she passes is heart warming.

Second that, you can't just pick on someone on one thread and then have a free for all on another, it really is petty.

Handsomecake to be re-instated i feel.
