Jade Goody.

This house has just had a very heated discussion comparing Jade Goody and the people who appear on Jeremy Kyle. My housemates seem only too happy to judge those people by what they're wearing, what they say. "Look at her [whatever], she's disgusting!" and others like it are all regular expressions when Jeremy Kyle is on.

I asked them how they could

H-hi! -waves- Friend from F!S here. (kind of just dropping by to say hello ^^')

Lol my God Jeremy Kyle, I used to watch that show religiously when I got home from school. But yeah I think it's fair to judge the people only after they've opened they're mouths.

That's incredible about Jane Tomlinson, and I bet there's very little people who even know who she is, and it makes me feel sick.

(In the case of Jade Goody, I'm pretty sure she's doing it to get money for her kids when she passes on, so I can let it slide. But idk the media wants to record every little detail of it augh. At least its so high profile that there's been a large increase of people going for check-ups?)

I've only just recently got into Jeremy Kyle and even then I miss a lot of it because of lectures, but I like watching him, as a person, do his magic. It's interesting to see what he does to get people talking or to break up arguments or to even things out, even if the conclusions of all arguments does seem to be "GET A JOB!" I agree the people on there aren't beauty pageant contestants, but that doesn't really mean anything. I've learned that first impressions are important but in other ways they are meaningless, and I try to be open-minded. Clearly, my housemates don't.

I thought a lot of people knew about Jane Tomlinson, after all, she deserves it. And yet I find myself having to explain who she is :(

I have never heard of any of these people, so probably shouldn't comment, but

First of all, wait, is someone actually going to broadcast this woman dying?

And, yeah, judging someone based on their behaviour =/= equal judging someone based on their appearance. Judging on behaviour still has its flaws sometimes, but judging on looks is just shallow and bitchy.

That was a possibility yes, although I'm not sure it's likely anymore. But that fact that she was considering it... well, I don't know what to think. Do you watch House? In one episode House talks about dying with dignity. He says that's impossible. You can live with dignity, but not die with it. I think that's significant with this case. It does make me wonder what the world is coming to though.

And, yeah, judging someone based on their behaviour =/= equal judging someone based on their appearance. According to my housemates, it *is* the same, but then they truly believed that vaseline was made out of whale fat. The mind, as they say, boggles.

I understand that it's not really right to judge people I don't know, but if you are gonna judge (which most people do), I figure it's better to judge behaviour than looks. *sigh*
