Celebrity death guess...

..when my mum told me he done this , I though it was quite distasteful...but then I thought..well it's nobody's family that we know, so they won't be harmed by what they don't know I guess...I would never do this with anyone on here ffs!

Lets have your bets on the next famous( most likely old) person to die...
Only rule is that it has to be someone famous themselves...not their aunty's cousin's sister...

And heard by the majority of people, my step dad had his last bet on Nelson Mandela  for the past two years, since when he took retirement and recently collected his winnings.


So her looking up all the old people and lets have a bet!

Don't know who I'm going for tbh???

Bruce Forsyth is getting on, but he still looks in good shape for his age!!

I'll guess later...

I'm not wishing death on anyone Victor.

Please Victor, for you to try to lecture me would be laughable with many of your twisted and racist views.

which is, in total, is defending is it not...

holding the view that we have enough immigrants "hurts no one"...even if it effected the policy of placing a moratorium on further immigration....and yet you would scream "racist"  

its hypocrisy through and through....

Well, victor, if you want to actually get into the nuts and bolts, I might think that celebrity death pools are distasteful and that I wouldn't want to take part -- but just because of that doesn't mean that I think they're bad or that I'm going to get bent out of shape when someone else wants to take part.

In the same vein, I can acknowledge that you don't have to be racist in order to want an immigration moratorium, while simultaneously noting that a lot of people who speak out against immigration do turn out to be racists!

It's a complicated world, don't make me into someone I'm not just because you lack nuance.

So would it be OK for people to make bets on which member of your family will die next, cheer when they're right, and go off the pub to celebrate and spend their winnings?

Perhaps JD could use his family to make some money too.

So do you think it would be OK if people sat around in a room making bets on who will be the next black person to be murdered in a racist attack?

Oh, so now everyone who wins a celebrity death pool celebrates other people's deaths? That's preposterous.

Well yes, of course they do. What do you think they do when they win? Cry?

Well, I've seen people win them and they didn't react by saying "Oh my God, I'm so glad that person died! Off for celebratory drinks!"

Sheesh!

You've taken part in them?

I'll remember this next time you attempt to take the moral highground - and JD too.

Stop the bullshit "gotcha" game, I didn't say I played them, I said I'd seen people win them for Christ's sake. I still say they do no real harm.

I wouldn't go to a live sex club. I wouldn't take up recreational marijuana smoking. I wouldn't marry a man. I wouldn't go swimming with dolphins. I wouldn't carry a Hello Kitty lunch box. WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Are you afraid it would terminally damage your "machismo" or are you perhaps more afraid that the shrivelled, drab grey and disapproving lump that passes for the "progressive" hive mind would reject you for such a display of "individuality??


I wouldn't do a lot of things that I also wouldn't stop others from doing. Why is this so hard?

Ben_Reilly wrote:OK, here's the deal -- I pretty much do what I like. As far as the Hello Kitty thing, I wouldn't carry the lunch box simply because I don't know anything about the phenomenon; it's kind of like how I wouldn't wear a band's T-shirt if I didn't know their songs.

We're talking, however, about predicting the next well-known person to die. That's basically the same thing as trying to predict which will be the next number one company in the world, or what will be the next technological phenomenon to change the world. And if you could peer past your biases you'd see that.

JD didn't propose this because he revels in the deaths of others, for fuck's sake. You need to shake out of this bullshit new theory of yours regarding "progressives" and your opinions on how we all act, and start giving people the benefit of the doubt, and treating them as individuals, again. Otherwise you're no better than this mindset you're railing against.

Celebrities are people you know, they have friends and families who would be devastated if they died, so why don't you try thinking about them as individuals?

For you to think that it's the same as betting on which company will be number one is very strange indeed.

I just think of it as a prediction of future events. I really don't think J.D. meant it to be anything more than that.

I know it's distasteful.
