A nearly unquenchable thirst.

Planet Reality. Join us.

Oh, I see. This is a joke post. Okay, I'm with you. LOL!

Those photo ops are such hard work. I salute her!

Worked so hard to find a cure for AIDS? I am doubled over laughing now!
Boy, putting those clothes up for auction must have been absolutely
exhausting. Shoot, those scientists are just wasting their time.

Vapid, beyond description.

Lots of people die. Do you mourn them all?

This is easy...the answer is: Because Diana WANTED more attention than
Kate. (Note Kate content!)

>because she is DEAD.

Oh, that too?

> she died a terrible death.

She got in a car with a drunk driver. She didn't wear her seatbelt. The
driver was speeding. That's not a terrible death...that's a PREDICTABLE
death.

>she did her best in her lifetime to show love and

Oh, she spent time with the little people. How nice.

Did you know that when she took her sons to see AIDS patients that this
paragon of virtue told her sons the people had cancer...not AIDS? What do
you think about that?

And she played to the press in an effort to maniuplate them.

Diana could've hidden. You don't hear nearly as much about the Princesses
that didn't marry into the family.

Oh, yes...Michael Jackson is a virtual unknown.

Okay.

And those people deserve to be put to death...immediately. Bring me their
heads and I'll mount them on the palace gates. Commoners...sheesh.
