it was just mention by drudge live on his radio show christopher reeve has pasted away sun night

Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science.... MORE...

I wonder which way that will work with election? (rhetorical question)

That's kinda sad.

Drudge Report is fast. Wow! Not even the other news sites picked this up yet, although on the Drudge it says that it has not been publically announced yet.

Wow! Too bad. When they do the memorrum part during the academy awards, it is going to be very sad.

This sucks.
That man WOULD have walked again if he lived long enough. He was already regaining some feeling in his legs and could move them in a walking motion doing water therapy in a pool (couldn't support any weight). And he could breathe on his own without a respirator again.

If it was ever possible for someone with his injury to recover - he would have done it. I have no doubt of that.

Rest in peace, Christopher. You'll be missed.

Rest In Peace Superman.

I grew up watching Superman. I wanted to be Superman. He is and was my role model. He is the epitomy of what Americans should be.

I have had a day from hell, and this has not helped me any. This actually made me cry when the breakup with my GF has not.

Every time I think you couldn't possibly be any more of an idiot, you go and surprise me. Great Christ is that in bad taste!

Ed

WOW they are slow arent they. I heard about it on the news hear pretty much straight after he died. A real shame as he was pushing for stem cell research to continue too. He may have walked again some day.

I'm Back - go away. You suck.

Rest in peace, Christopher - if anybody could have walked again, I felt sure it would have been you.

You espouse more Naziism on this board through your ultraconservatism than most anyone else; I don't wanna hear it from you. How many people joked and wished the worst for Clinton as he underwent surgery, only to stumble and say, "Er, uh, he's still a human and, er, uh, I wish him the best." I have nothing against him and feel glad for him that he's in a better place. He demonstarted great strength fighting the RepubliNazi machine to get stem cell research, just as any/all of you Repugs would (flip-flop) do if a family member with Parkinsn's or another related condition.

A peaceful rest for Superman, and grace to his family and friends...

Edited before I even posted.

This is a thread about Christopher Reeve (may he rest in peace), not some other jerk.

I'm back.... your are wrong for you initial post and your following comments.

Chris Reeve was an inspiration to the rest of the human race. Even when faced with the highly probable fact that he would never walk again, he NEVER gave up. How long had he been confined to that chair? He NEVER gave up. Thats courage. Thats what real hero's are made of.

The world will miss you sir.

What did you expect from "I'm Back"? You'd think he INVENTED tasteless and inappropriate.

I don't remember ANYONE wishing him the worst. Even those of us who despised him, politically, wished him well. And before you open your sewer hole to say anything about me, *I* said in the thread about his surgery "forget politics, wish him well". And I *meant* it, dickbreath.

May he rest in peace.

He was the epitome of courage in the face of adversity.

You're free now, Christopher!

May you now soar freely in the heavens

Even if he did want to escape the cape on the screen, he was a real life superman.

You seem surprised. It's Ed.

Reeves was truly courageous in the face of a catastrophic injury. He really was a Superman.

You have to admit on some morbid sick level that it is funny.

No, it's not.
EdsB52 has shown that his only interest is in causing problems. He's even tried to turn a thread about the death of an actor into a political / religious thread. His only purpose here is to troll and start flame wars. It's long past time he was shown the door - AGAIN.

So formula did you give me a negative for thinking it was funny?

quote Originally posted by Liquid-Reality: So formula did you give me a negative for thinking it was funny?

Nope. I disagree with you, but you weren't being abusive, calling people names, or trying to start a flamewar.
I rarely rate people in T/OT, unless they're acting like a complete jerk.

Even on the Fark comment thread - which is notorious for dark humor and taking pot shots at people's death, the Fark moderator said, "This is not the time or place to troll." I agree.

I never knew Christopher Reeve
So why on Earth do I now grieve
This husband, father, brother, son
Whose time and trials now are done?
Even crippled this man stood
For things we all believe are good
Kindness, dignity, and truth
Aren't things one puts on in phone-booths
Clear the skies of birds and planes
And his spirit still remains
-SherKhan (quoted from Fark)

Agreed. And we have the power to do it. So let's do it.

A dignified little tribute there.

I respected Christopher Reeve. He used his own personal tragedy to try to help other people.

That's admirable, whether or not one agrees with the stem cell issue.

You gotta see Ed's point though.. If I was reeves and fighting hard to get stem cell research, and then when I die everybody who is against it was saying "Christopher Reeves was a great man, yadda yadda yadda", I'd be sickened..

No we don't.

Yeah, I see Ed's "point". It's the same "point" he has every time he posts: to start sh!t. Why he hasn't collected enough negatives to get himself booted again is beyond me

Well then, let's make that happen.

Ed doesn't have a point other than to stir up crap. He slams Austrailia, Christians, and Republicans in a thread about Christopher Reeve. What possible point is there other than him being a troll?

Even if you disagree with stem cell research, it's still possible to respect the man for the way he lived his life. When even your opponents respect you, that says something about your character.

that is a super bummer!
I don't even believe he is dead it's just not possible.From the beginning i knew he would walk again.I just have always felt that.It's as though somebody bumped the cosmos and things got out of kelter because shouldn't have happened.It just seems wrong.

He was a rock of strenth.Unbelievable super powers if you ask me and if you don't think so just try and imagine what it takes to live after that.Just try i dare you.You can't come up with enough dispair to even come close.Where do you get the strength to go on when it is so much easier not to.
He not only continues he triumphs and can't be stopped.He was well past what the experts said couldn't happen.Sheer force of will was his weapon.

Christopher not only helped himself he helped thousands of people by proving to them they could go on..He publicly plowed the way through the impossible.He championed success, perserverence and determination for all those that were overwhelmed with hopelessness.

I look back at the superman series and think he sure does fit the part.Silly plots and all the dorkyness of the show he was able to pull it together and make it seem noble.Well if their was any doubt before i don't think there is now.He had it in him the whole time.He didn't have to act like a hero it was natural for him.Perfect for the part he played.People may say the part made him but i don't agree.I think he made the part.

Christopher Reeve was more than just a actor and good man,He was the real Super Man

------------------
I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
