oh too young to die... i love her movie with ashton kutcher....

as for not having kids, i don't have a very nice view of the world so i don't feel it is right to bring kids into it. i actually think people have kids to give themselves a life, not because the world is a great place to be. they have kids without any consideration to what the kid has to do in this world to maintain a reasonably good life. i just don't want to subject anyone to the challenges that this world demands - it is very hard work and getting more difficult by the day!

So when's a good time to bring kids into this world? I'm sure your parents could have said the same thing about your birth year. Personally, I'd rather be born myself and live my life. My life had it's ups and downs but it was my life and no one else had the same experience. Life can be a heck of lot harder in the past and in other parts of the globe today but Americans are so whiny today it their every whim isn't met immediately- hence the need for credit cards to spend they don't have.

I'm not an optimist by nature but waiting for some golden age to raise kids strkes me as defeatist. Even without your kids, the world will continue on.

A shiny nickle says her toxicology report contains one or both of the following words:

- alprazolam

- oxycodone

i completely understand this response even though it doesn't apply to me.... i'd say more but i don't want to derail the thread again, however if you want a longer response, i welcome a pm.

Brittany Murphy dies at age 32.

They said heart attack, maybe drugs and anorexia? Either way, too young to die. R.I.P.

LOVED her in "Clueless".

[MonkeyJuice 3]

She starred in Don't say a Word with Michael Douglas which was an excellent film & also 8 Mile with Eminem.

Another tragic loss.

She seems VERY young to have had cardiac arrest - though the last photo I saw of her, she was so emaciated, she barely looked like herself. Either way, very sad.

sad news

She seems VERY young to have had cardiac arrest - though the last photo I saw of her, she was so emaciated, she barely looked like herself. Either way, very sad.

It happens but the average age is 65 for a sudden cardiac arrest.

"Many people mistakenly believe that sudden cardiac arrest only strikes elderly men. While risk does increase with age (the average victim’s age is 65), SCA strikes people of all ages; it has claimed victims in infancy, pre-teens, teens, and those in their twenties, thirties and forties. It can happen to men and women, sedentary people and elite athletes, as well as apparently healthy people and others with known heart conditions. Although pre-existing heart disease is a common cause of cardiac arrest, many victims have never had any heart problems and SCA is often the first symptom"

i loved the movie little black book, so funny.

[SuperDuper! 230]

Live life in the fast lane, and it soon comes to a screeching halt. Besides, who knows what kind of Karma she had. I did think she was hot in 8 mile.

My bet is on that, as well.
