Good to see Rose and Bozzie are totally out of character with existential humanism :) and more in tune with the Apostle Paul.

How nice it would be, to discover the faith which ties it all together.

At least we are in total agreement about the observations you make, and I would just add that this situation is the absolute kryptonite for the moronic 'If u've got it, flaunt it' mentality which seems to pervade some on this forum. Flaunting somehow just doesn't make the grade when you realize that the flaunters might have some condition they dont know about, and in a more advanced stage than Kylie, which will soon make them a living example of, and demonstrate the utter emptiness of such an approach to life.

So BD I take you mean that if you do 'have it' don't flaunt because you might die?

We're all gonna die.

I don't want to be on my death bed and think what a boring existence I have led.

I want to remember singing my heart out at a gig, I want to recall my friends and the good times we had.

The hair shirt existence is not for me.

Good luck to Kyles, hate your music love your spirit.

What a load of media bulldust! My family and possibly yours is encapdulated by malignant cancer. What a load of bull that she allowed the media to say - oh - just in the shower - found a golf ball like thing. Give me a break.

typo - encapsulated - no pun. I have had malignant cancer (Clarke Level IV malignant melanoma). Give me a break. I have intelligence. I have integrity.

Not quite Xena.
I'm saying that those who are well endowed with yummy bits and generally nice look, should be aware that if you poke it in the face of all the rest of us, dont expect too much sympathy when suddenly the source of your pride and arrogance is reduced to zero with some horrible terminal illness.

To "flaunt ones" physical (or intellectual) for that matter MEANS just this "Look at MEEEEEEEEE.. see how CUTE I am, or how SMART I am.. me me meeeee.. see it all of you, dont you WISH u were like meeeeeeeeeeee but hey, YOUR NOT etc etc etc

Not just that, but its the same mentality as the 'fastest gun in the west'... who ALways met someone just a little faster :).... its shallow and pathetic to hold such an attitude.

Whatever gifts we have, whether physical or intellectual, I feel its better to go with what we have, NEVER to 'flaunt' it, and use it for the betterment of the community and our families.

Jesus told a parable. "When you goto a wedding feast, dont look for the seat of highest honour, or the host may come and say in front of everyone. "See, here is one more honorable than you, give your seat up", and with shame you are directed to the lowest seat.

Boaz

Is it your time of the month?

I mean that would have to be the most infantile response you've ever made. Oh, did I mention unnecessary?

Xena was only talking about enjoying her life before carking it. And she's right.

I think I'll go out and party right now - lock up your sons!
