Without fail, as we respond to anyone's situation, someone will invariably offer a completely inappropriate response. This response is usually humorous.

Dang i forgot about that site...

"If I were in a wheel chair, I'd want an ass kicking role where I would spend the entire movie running over people's fingers and tossing old ladies off of cliffs, not some suck-ass sissy role where I'd sit around and cry like a pussy."

Now that's hilarious.

[KoukiMonster]

regardless if he cared about paralyzed people before his accident, he still gave lots of hope to all the other unfortunate people that suffer from the same condition.

"News reporters state that Gene Hackman was seen fleeing the hospital with his arms full of mysterious glowing green rocks"

[240Stilo]

WHYYY...haha. I don't remember reading that part.

But back to the article. There are many celebrities that spend their money on a cure for themselves which as maddox said helps other people as a side effect. If you got a pile of money you would want to buy all the crap you couldn't buy as a poorer person. If you got a pile of money and had a crazy ass disease you would try to buy a cure by paying people to research.

You don't remember reading that part because I made it up.

And in response to your response to what was said, the thing is not the many people who benefitted from the research he was able to afford and thy weren't, which they would come to benefit from no less... His stance is that Chris Reeves wasn't that much a hero for doing this, saying that he would have ACTUALLY been a hero for having done some of this shit OR SOMETHING before it was to help in saving his own ass.

[SilviaDriver]

superman is still the man.

[MakotoS13]

psh, batman totally beat that pussy down cause he had a little green rock... Pwned :)

[rainier]

rest in peace.

It IS too bad though. I kind of liked him...even though he was a liberal.

[Andrew Bohan]

man, i wanna time travel back to the 30's and find the guy who thought it was a good idea for superheroes to wear tights and wear their underwear on the outside. then ima bitch slap him and say "wtf is wrong with you, huh?"

[airsoft]

haha i just learned about the whole Superman thing, creaters and such.. 2 guys or somehting in 1928 or 1938 one of the 8's.. o well something i dn't remember from school... wonder if i will ever remember anything from school other than nothing relaly..

[balmo]

i guess clark kent from smallville will do for now. rip chris reeves.

this picture is awesome.

yeah, i feel for reeve.. but at the same time, maddox does have a point as well. insensative yeah, but i am pretty insensative.. and i dont think that just because someone dies all of a sudden you have to feel sorrow. i dont feel sorrow for anyone i dont know, because you never know what they've done in their life to be the way they are.

for instance, a homeless person.. why should i feel sorry he's on the streets? yeah, its sad that he's on the streets.. but shit, maybe he's done really bad shit that caused him to get to where he is.

only god can judge us.

[Phlip]

*snip* ...even though he was a liberal.
Please leave that bullshit word in the political threads

[elevator]

Ya liberal!




:D

[MakotoS13]

[img]for instance, a homeless person.. why should i feel sorry he's on the streets? yeah, its sad that he's on the streets.. but shit, maybe he's done really bad shit that caused him to get to where he is.

only god can judge us.

i believe that what we become is directly proportional to what we want to be. christopher reeves had a ton of good years then gets gimped? i'd kill for knowing i'd be a millionaire for a couple decades.

its like when old people die. even if you love em ya gotta just let go cause lets face it... a good run is a good run ;)

[Omnis]

If you mean close as in 50 years..

HAHAHA. not cure....but i meant like.....how he was moving around and stuff again.

[Phlip]

HAHAHA. not cure....but i meant like.....how he was moving around and stuff again.
His head was always able to move anyway, and the only other thing, as I understand it, was a couple fingers...

Compare the distinctly probable (in his case) prospect of spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair parylized from the neck down for the REST of your life to ending it, you would ask your God (however YOU understand him/her) for a way out. I think he's better off, he got his "out."

[The ROMAN]

I guess we'll just have to make fun of Michael J. Fox from now on...

[The ROMAN]

Alright last one.

[brianglawson]

quit being a dick roman....... im not necessarily greiving for reeves, but damn you ever think you could be offending someone

[The ROMAN]

Yeah, I was hoping I could offset that by the amount of people that would find it funny. Oh well...

[sykikchimp]

whats offensive?

[MakotoS13]

dang man... i got nothin.

[brianglawson]

I guess we'll just have to make fun of Michael J. Fox from now on...

that and one of his post in another thread, maybe its where i quit smoking and im all tense... :loco:

[Phlip]

I'm not offended, anyone else offended?

[MakotoS13]

nope, not i. totally unoffended.

[elevator]

I'm not...except I do get pissed when I see red x's.

[RBS14]

that site was fucking hilarious!!!!

he's totally right. there is no reason you shouldn't be able to dislike someone, regardless of their physical abilities........ or lack there of.

why the fuck do so many people get sad and care when celebrities die? like they know them personally? Idiots latching on to influential/popular people to make themselves feel better about sucking at life.

[TheSnail]

I though he was getting better when he sucked the stem cells out of the fetus's. I guess that did not work, back to the drawing board.

[Phlip]

It's been a few days now, and guess what? He's still dead

[wootwoot]

being paralysed from the waist down is hell, if that happend to me, i would probably ride my wheel chair off the top of a building. not trying to be insensitive, but dang, that would be absolutely horrendous. i dont really feel all that bad for his death, everyone dies and his death gave him relief of suffering. i would have liked to see him get a little further with the research and all since it could benefit so many others. with the saying rich people will do whatever they can to be alive, its just what people do. someone will hold onto life if at all possible. how many explorers looked for the fountain of youth?? also mr johnson, diddnt he get HIV 20 years ago?? how's that work?

[Phlip]

See this post (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showpost.php?p=572605&postcount=29) in this very thread for an already stated (and properly punctuated) version of the same point you attempt to articulate... For Magic Johnson, on the other hand, I have a hard enough time believing that he wasn't using a false positive to keep his name hot enough to make him a successful business man following the NBA career that was beginning to wind down at the time. This is coming from a lifelong lakers fan, and I think that a false positive and "holy shit, I'm cured" has kept Magic's name in the public's mouth enough to make sure they watch shitty movies in his theaters and drink overpriced coffee in the (multiple) Starbucks coffe shops he owns.

[MurdarioStomp]

i think some pitboss 2000 lyrics are in order

Driving With Your Chin (The Ballad of Christopher Reeve)
SUPERMAN AINT SO SUPER, HE FUCKING GOT HIS
LIBERAL FRUITCAKE NEEDS A TUBE TO WIZZ
MAIMED BY A HORSE WHILE DRINKING FOR THE DAY
CRIPPLED FOR LIFE THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY

YOURE A FUCKING CRIPPLE

HOW IS IT RIGHT AND HOW IS IT FAIR
TO PARK MY CAR IN THE BACK
WHILE THEY PARK UP THERE
DO YOU KNOW WHAT MINES WORTH,
I DON'T THINK YOU CARE
I DESERVE A SPOT UPFRONT, NOT THE IMPAIRED
IF WE PUT AN END TO FAIRNESS ID HAVE MY WAY
TO BE THE LEADER OF THE PACK ID HAVE MY SAY
WE NEED TO BE JUDGED BY CLASS
AND THE MONEY THAT YOU MAKE
A TRUE TEST OF MANHOOD
TO SEE WHOSE GOT THE CAKE


man...im so going to get flamed for this. eh. screw it. hes dead and i didnt know him, so who cares?

edit: if christopher reeve truley touched your life in a personal way I'm sorry
