I think we should all take a moment to reflect on the sad loss of The People's Princess:


Even ten years on, the entire British Nation is in mourning on the anniversary of her tragic demise. I was unable to post yesterday as I was too upset and it would have felt inappropriately frivolous. She was a shining beacon of beauty and kindness and an example of True Royalty whom we should all attempt emulate in this dark age.

I think she was truly special,so special I told my daughter that she should use Diana as a role model.

I was in shock when I heard she had died,and felt it was a great loss not only for the British people but for the world.

WHY?


Exactly WHAT did Diana do in her life that "we should all take a moment to reflect on her sad loss"? I'm sure many other people died in that year so please do tell why any nonrelative needs to take a moment to reflect on Diana's death.


Did she cure some horrendouse disease? NO

Did she cure world povery? NO

Did she develop an innovative instrument/technique? NO

Was she an adulter? Yes

Was she on welfare most of her life? Yes


The world would be a whole lot better off if there were fewer people with the irrational desire to worship other humans. Religion is a crock but the commandment "thou shalt not worship false idols" definitely has a logical basis....

What a douche. Proof positive of why I don't think phones on bridges are a good idea. (I'm kidding)

Like my dad once told me, "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all". I remember it like it was yesterday, and I still feel the slap he gave me, right before he uttered those wonderful words.

Sorry guys, I think this lost something in translation. The post was meant as satire.

While Diana was obviously a devoted mother and a terrible loss to her sons and family, the outpouring of self indulgent, mawkish, vicarious 'grief' over her death was appalling. People who had never come within a mile of this rather disturbed woman started acting as though they had lost their nearest and dearest. Suicides and self harm went up.

One risked lynching by suggesting that she was less than perfect or that there might be more important things going on in the world. The two young princes and Diana's family have my sympathy but she is long gone and the unseemly behaviour of a large proportion of the British public still makes me want to shake them. I had had enough of it about 12 hours after her death and the 10 year reprise was largely media invented and sickening.

Miss. Cat the problem is that what you wrote is tooo on the mark,and is completly believable. Maybe we colonials arn't use to dry British wit,and humour.
