MstrssScarlet -> Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/1/2007 10:00:13 PM)

This is very much off topic, but I'm curious..........There's a lot of publicity this time of year about Princess Diana's death.  It just so happens that Mother Theresa died the same day if my memory serves me correctly.  ( If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone out there will correct me.)  Now I've heard about all the work that the princess did for charities and all, but Mother Theresa spent practially her ENTIRE adult life taking care of dying people that no one else gave a damn about.  She didn't do it by showing up at fancy dinners wearing designer clothes either.  Why is it that you hear so much about Princess Diana, but Mother Theresa goes practically unoticed?  This really bothers me.  Is it just my opinion?

Higher Archy (or is that anarchy lol) gains higher face value.

Princess Diana was that, A beloved Princess. If she had lived to the age that Mother Teresa had lived who knows what she could of accomplished.
quote:

In the late 1980s, Diana began increasingly to involve herself in charity work, taking on a number of causes including such sensitive issues as HIV/AIDS, domestic abuse, and drug addiction. She traveled thousands of miles a year in support of her favorite causes and raising funds, often taking along her beloved sons—especially William, who many expect will become king someday—to hospitals and homeless shelters so that they would understand the world outside the palace walls.



1997

In the early morning of August 31, 1997, after leaving the Ritz in Paris, Diana and Fayed were involved in a fatal car accident. Though Diana was still alive when doctors reached the scene, their frantic work could not save her; a few hours later, she was pronounced dead of cardiac arrest at the age of 37.She was burried on Sept 6th.

Mothre Theresa was deemed a saint and Im sure as history progresses it will be
Mother Theresa who will be worshiped for Her deeds done long after Englands
Princess is long forgot. JMO Both were Woman to be admired for Their lifes living.
quote:

 
On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI and she was concidered a living saint.
The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers
Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards she was called the saint of the gutters.
Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997 at (age 87)

I didn't think either one of them were newsworthy.
When they'd come on the t.v. I'd go, "click."

People who give of theirselfs for others in mass are no joke Real One. JMO

Anyone who criticizes Mother Teresa is a dumbass. You might as well criticize the NY firefighters and policemen on 9/11 or anyone willing to give up their lives for the benefit of other people. What have you done that's so important. Exactly.




MistressDREAD -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/1/2007 10:57:21 PM)

nothing that would remind others of their lot would be concidered news worthy actually.

BruisedHick -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/1/2007 11:06:42 PM)

Anyone who considers it more important to have a brand on their clothes than to feed a child is not really all that great a philanthropist, in my books.  If you encourage those with less to give money, you had better be sure that you are giving a FAR higher percent of your income, because if the minimum wage mother will give a dollar, you can give up your personal beautician.

And wearing make-up to a photoshoot with a starving child is just a bit more ironic than I like.




MistressDREAD -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/1/2007 11:10:20 PM)

well  Bruised Hick I would have to agree with You to a point as Ive never been a conformist and never felt the need to be properly dressed for any occation but with position comes certain responcibilities which include *the look* and Im sure that look gained way more funds for humanity then My or Your look could ever raise and Ive raised a lot in My scruffy days. JMO




Lordandmaster -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/1/2007 11:12:22 PM)

Personally, I hear too much about BOTH of them, but at least when you hear about Princess Diana, you know it's going to be pure unvarnished tabloid crap.  When you hear about Mother Theresa, it's usually from some ideologue who's trying to explain why his view of the world is better than yours.

I aint saying they're wrong, I'm just saying they're not philanthropists.

And I can look like a million bucks in a $300 suit, $50 shirt, $30 tie. Granted, I aint flashy or blinged out, but I look good.  And really, that's all it takes.  Oh, and actually being able to act/sing/dance.

Which celebrities, who actually work charitably, have made money from being flashy (as opposed to talent)?

I mean, Bill Gates has donated billions and looks like a tool.




MistressDREAD -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/1/2007 11:45:34 PM)

so if Your suit is 300 and shirt is 50 and 30 is for a tie, would that leave the left overs subtracted from the million to be your inflated ego Bruised Hick ?  ~smiles~   jokin...........

See Mr Gates gave money to charity, Mother Teresa and Princess Diana gave their life to charity, A bit of a difference.
I really don't see Mr Gates tending to any Aids patients wounds or feeding those with typhoid any time soon. But its all good.




BruisedHick -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/2/2007 12:04:47 AM)

Well, Di didn't really give her  life, either.

She gave a few rolls of film and a few million bucks, but life?  The girl died in a Mercedes with her lover, driving away from the hotel that gave "ritzy" it's origin. 

Rough life, when you give it all for the starving children.




MistressDREAD -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/2/2007 12:14:26 AM)

thru much of her public life she served the people personally in many forms and in My opinion she gave her life by giving her Country 2 possible Kings.Would You be as willing to walk away from Your children for the good of the Country? Tru she did die to soon. She came from humble beginnings and didn't ask to be thrust into the life she had. JMO

Why is it that you hear so much about Princess Diana

PD was murdered in the hours after she survived the first attempt - the car crash - on her life. Thus she has a lot in common with for example that other never forgotten murdered celebrity Marilyn Monroe.

'Won't comment on Mother Theresa as I know absolutely zero about her life.

In terms of the other one, no, it's not just your opinion. She's a celebrity and the celebrity obsessed world love her; she had fame, wealth, beauty.....exactly what a significant proproportion of the Western world aspires to.

She was a lesbian, and has never seen a cock in her life, let alone sucked one; it follows that the great lady can't have been anywhere near your cock. This board is going downhill sharpish with all the false claims, I for the one can't distinguish fact from fiction anymore.

True enough. She was shot in the face in a Paris tunnel by the queen; they never did get on, and when diana pissed in the queen's best goblet at the queen's silver wedding, enough was enough.




fenfatale -> RE: Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (9/2/2007 1:51:42 AM)

By being seen and being loved by the people, by being beautiful and glamourous but still by being seen as a real person made her more popular and admired/revered by the public, she was idolised, the causes that she visited gave them publicity, if she dressed like a normal person, acted like a normal person she would not have gained half of the adoration from the public, and as a result would not have gained half the publicity for the charities that she did.

Her work with people who had aids, by sitting with them, touching them, hugging and comforting them, did so much more for breaking down the taboos than any advertising campaigns have ever achieved. "If an heir to the throne can do it..... it must be ok"
By using her image and persona she achieved more than throwing any amount of money at a charity could.

Mother Theresa tends to be ignored because she was admittedly a good person, but it is the religious aspect that causes people to feel awkward, her life was chosen to be dedicated to serving others and healing and charity as she was a nun.
Diana was a Princess, doing something that was not really considered normal duty, going beyond what others had done before to try to make it seem more normal to others, and more in reach

That's one take on it; who stated we see the world through our perception and personal experience, rather than how it actually is? I'd point to PR, but maybe I'm a cynic. 'Not sure if you saw her interviewed on British TV, but my take on the interview was one of a celebrity obsessed woman.
