I didn't paint her as a saint. I just don't get off on putting a dead girl down and pretending I can see inside her head.

And I don't get off on coming imaginary first in the imaginary comparative suffering steeplechase, it's not a competition to see who can withstand the hardest hardship without being a junkie.

It's easy to be nice you know, nobody has to be judgemental or nasty about the death of a mum of two kids at only 25. Shame so many seem to enjoy it.

At least if you're a junkie you have a chance of rehab. Assholes tend to stay that way for life.

I can get called an asshole all day here if I call one of the 3 or 4 post thanking glossy attachment parenting fans anything the thread gets closed.
Im enjoying this am I?
Two kids with no mother because she was too selfish to put the needle down?
Great craic Im having.
The fathers probably at it aswell. I must be delighted according to you and your 3 friends.
Poor kids. Im disgusted there is no delight here.

Some people here need to take a big chill pill, acting like she was your best friend or something.

Not everyone has to see addicts in a sympathetic light, and they are not "evil" because they don't either.

TireeTerror · 01-05-2014 01:28AM

Seriously, all this is beyond ridiculous. How can you say you never met a heroin addict who wanted to be an addict? You would have to be an actual retard not to know the dangers of taking heroin. The warnings about it and the risks associated with it have been drummed into ALL of us from a very early age. So anyone willing to chance it and take it for the very first time deserves no sympathy at all. The amount of opportunities we have in the Western world is amazing, we can almost do whatever we want.

I genuinely am sad about people wasting their lives that become addicted to drugs, but I am not sad for them, I am sad for the people they affect, such as their families, their friends and the likely victims of their crimes. You know what, writing this is making me think we probably put way too much value on a human life, lets be real for a moment, all of our lives are pretty irrelevant in the greater scheme of things, so dry your eyes and enjoy your fleeting moment on this earth because you don't have long enough left to live to be angry about some selfish celeb you don't even know. Your time is precious, go live it!!!!

Right thats it, Im away off this PC and Im going to go sky diving right now, who's up for a boards.ie meet at Dublin airport in 1 hours time?

Who said anyone was evil? Judgemental and lacking in empathy, maybe.

Are you saying that is a rediculous idea. It couldnt be possible a heroin users husband who she doesnt let sleep in the bed with the kids is also a heroin user?

I'm surprised. Because your posts sound gleeful, spiteful, satisfied, smug, small minded, judgemental, sanctimonious, lacking in taste, empathy, insight, and without compassion.

thrashmetalfan · 01-05-2014 01:30AM

a waste of a life. why do heroin?? feel sorry for her family especially bob. on another note, damon albarn during interviews to promote his new album said heroin was very beneficial to him especially when it came to his song writing. apparently damon has an iron will and can drink snort and smoke then not do so for weeks on end without feeling any cravings. not passing comment on peaches but some people never get addicted or come a cropper from their use of drugs while others...

Again, good for you.

I'm sorry you had such a hard time, but you have no idea what anyone else went through.

Here is the thing.....Your line of thinking leads to a sort of carte-blanche blamelessness.

Of course I can't live in her shoes,only one person can,and what she chose to do with her Life mildly dissappointed me.Briefly.

Is she off-limits from criticism because she was famous/a mother or some other reason?

The woman is dead.She leaves behind a family and if it was self-inflicted,do people not have the right to air their thoughts on the matter?Can people not understand why some people might hold her up in a negative light?

PrettyBoy · 01-05-2014 01:33AM

Not surprising in the least. When I heard about her death I presumed it was a drug overdose but my GF (who is a fan of hers) was trying to convince me that it couldn't have been drugs because she's a mother to two small children and she seemed so happy on Twitter, Instagram, etc.. I never had any doubts though. A tragedy for the family, really feel for Bob.

RIP

The risks of many things are drummed into us from a very young age. I'm astounded by how many people my age smoke and drink excessively. But they do, and not only people who are trying to escape awful lives.

I think you're missing the point of why people are annoyed. In my case, it's not so much about Peaches (didn't like her) but more about the family she's left behind and the judgemental comments that are being made on here about addicts in general. I have a friend whose mother died of a heroin overdose and I don't think she's a selfish b1tch. I think she was a very troubled woman who wasn't able to get the help she needed in time.

Some people here seem to think 'hard life' equates with 'poor mental health'. It doesn't. You can grow up dirt poor with crappy parents and not be affected by depression, anxiety, schizophrenia or any other mental health issue. That's what makes the 'I had it harder than she did and I'm fine' stuff so pathetic. I used to work with addicts and alcoholics and every single one of them had mental health issues. Addiction is very often a symptom of a more serious condition, not just some sort of choice you make because you're a bit bored.

The ignorance on this thread is depressing.

Yes, of course. But that's the obvious thing to do. Saying 'well, she deserved it, she took drugs, it was her choice' is the obvious thing to say. Is there some element of truth in that? Maybe. But I don't find it that hard to have compassion and empathy for anyone who ends up ruining or ending their life through drug use.

Your posts seem quite hysterical and not very coherent. You probably need to calm down a little.

It seems unfair to describe her as 'too selfish to put the needle down'. It's more likely that she was too addicted to put the needle down. None of us know what drove her to take heroin.

Ive hung around with alcoholics and drug addicts from a young age and not so much now. You seen the ones that needed a bit of mental health care. Plenty of them I know just like a drink a bit too much. The ones I know that go on the heroin are the ones whos brothers did or who cant get any other friends apart from junkies.
Are you honestly saying with all bobs money he couldnt get her into a mental health hospital?
Im honestly getting offended how I can be constantly accused of being a monster when her 5 fans disagree with how I see a woman doing so many drugs she dies while caring for her youngest son.
No babysitter. Just her the youngest child and the drugs.
Im the monster.

Do not get depressed, otherwise yours will be just another life wasted in the same way.

I think with society and social care, the natural selection process which would have eliminated such weak examples of our species has been destroyed. Now we are surrounded by feeble specimens requiring help and assistance at every turn.

Perhaps we should be saying "good riddance" rather than RIP, it could be seen as a cleansing of the human race. Perhaps in the future, when the earths resources are stretched to breaking point, the Governments or corporations will start a culling program whereby those incapable of taking responsibility for themselves will be fed into a big mincing machine and used as fertiliser to grow crops for the Aryan race!

Well, here is kinda where I'm split on the matter-there are kids around the country who see the evidence of their parents addictions Daily.The same kids are given Little chance to break free of the cycle.

For all the criticisms I have of Bob Geldof,I just cannot imagine him as a distant uncaring parent.The girl would have had a lot more support than some poor kid you might see on the Liffey boardwalk tomorrow.

Today was (I Think) the first time I posted on the subject,because there seems to be evidence that she OD'd, this is not,as some here Think,a cause of celebration or a Point proven (for me anyway) but rather a tragic hypocrite exposed

WilyCoyote · 01-05-2014 01:58AM

If this was inner city DUBLIN - news headline - JUNKIE FOUND DEAD IN BED
Everyone that dies is someone's mother/father/sister/brother/son/daughter. Why the public Dianaesque display at a foolish woman's death?
She put her fix before her kids. So why the eulogising?
