Lots of British people claim to dislike her, but I feel bad she is suffering from this. Besides, some schools of thought say that one should show compassion towards their enemies...

Personally i respected the woman in some ways, but not in others, though dementia is something you would never wish upon anyone, friend or foe.
She was rumoured to only sleep 3/4 hours a night for her entire time as PM, cant have helped her general health. I mean she didnt look well at reagans funeral, and that was a few years before now!
It's terrible that Thatcher is suffering from dementia, but I somehow doubt that she'll get much sympathy from Lefties who've always hated her. I bet the "journalist" at The Grauniad who got to write about this story must have got some sexual buzz out of it. The good thing is, Thatcher never cared what her critics thought and I have no reason to believe she'll suddenly give a shit now.
Have a word with yourself.
I realise that this is your internet 'character' but it's reached the point of self parody now.
Even if you did know alot about Thatcher politics, you have the right idea. Ignore the politics, a poor frail old lady has dementia, which is terrible.
Yeah I'm getting excited over it right now :yeees:
I think it's terrible. But I think it's terrible when anyone gets dementia. I don't like to discriminate
You gonna start cheering for Bin Laden when you hear he has Alzheimer's?
Point being: who gets "much sympathy" from people who hate them? Would you want people to change their opinion of you based on a disease or condition you have? Dementia is bad - that's a duh. It doesn't mean you abandon your opinions because someone has it. Do you also reckon non-racists have been jerking off over Jade Goody's cancer? It's a stupid thing to say.
Being glib and "fuck you" or "oh well" [see two of the posts above] is certainly needlessly spiteful, unnecessary and pointless; but just as spiteful is the need to turn it into a Right vs Left showdown, when yet again it's not at all; it's simply an old lady with dementia.
About as much sympathy as you'd give to Gary Glitter as you were wanking off over the news that he'd been butchered by an angry mob.
It's not really. I couldn't give a fuck about the old hag. Simple as.
sums it up really :thumb:
i just think its a shame it wasnt something more terminal
Thats fucking awful.
Thatcher was a Prime Minister. Like her or not, most Prime Minsters are/were unpopular. In my time - Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown all included. They all had their go at running the country, but at the end of the day, they were just doing their jobs. Personally, I don't wish anything as brutal as dementia on any of these politicians.
SCC have you ever seen somebody (not nessiserally somebody you care about) deteriate through dementia?
My spellings shit today.
I can't say I am. But I don't lose sleep over it when they do.
There are some terrible people out there and if someting seriously horrid happens to them then I might feel indifferent, but that's very different in taking pleasure in it or wishing it on them.
Feeling happy in somebody elses suffering is fucking awful. That is what I hope keeps me seperate from the 'bad people' you're talking about.
She never gave a shit anyone but the rich people, let them lick her arse and fawn over her illness and let the Serfs give as much of a shit about her as she did about us.
Especially when its exactly the same illness that happens indiscriminately to good people?
if its a bad thing for a good person to have it, its a bad thing for anyone to have it.
yes. it was a shame. felt sorry for the family really
not really. Causing suffering to people is pretty bad, but feeling a twinge of satisfaction when you see karma in action - i dont think thats particularly bad. I dont think its good either, but i can assure you that the damage that woman caused to so many communities, is far worse than one woman losing her mind.
I can really feel the love in this thread.
Ok, so she's as bad as Stalin now?
I'm not necessarily a fan of hers, but I won't take pleasure in her suffering. I'm not that low really.
