Paul of course you are entitled to your opinion... people have fought and died for your right to it.

But common decency and courtesy might have helped you to decide to voice those opinions on another thread... maybe one of your own?

And before you slate me... that is, of course, my own opinion... and I am entitled to it!

Regards

Daff.

Paul,

are you saying that we should not acknowledge this sad loss of life?

Why? Because its a plane crash in Spain or because all loss of life is not equally reported?

Just trying to understand.

love Theresa

Get off my case..

My goodness Paul you do carry a huge chip on those shoulders.

I don't recollect anyone saying on here that people were not entitled to their opinion. But it is preferable if those opinions are not made in such a way that they are offensive to others, who are also entitled to their opinions. You seem to go out of your way to post opinions that are controversial, aggressive or offensive so unfortunately people will comment against them. That is a fact of life I am afraid!

And please don't PM me this time!!

Ok, mmmmmmmmmm. Was trying to understand.

Never mind!! Back to the thread, which is clearly about the plane crash in Spain.

Your opinion is duly noted Paul.

However most of us feel death is a sad fact of life, especialy when many people all die together.

love Theresa

somehow it always seems worse too when people haven't had their holiday. I know that sounds daft but you can imagine they were all excited looking forward to the break. Spanish children are on their holidays now, their go into September.
It only mentioned two children though didn't it. OH thinks it was quite a small aircraft.

Yes, Ann, only 2 little ones mentioned so far but no idea as to whether they were amongst the survivors. So sad and must have been horrifying for those stood in the veiwing lounge.

Just seen the news, how sad for all concerned.

My thoughts go out to everyone affected.

....

I'd just like to add, that the reason these events shock people into responding more than one would normally do to car crashes, is not because car crashes are less devastating or less newsworthy, its just because plane crashes are in a very small minority compared with car crashes....and normally there is a much larger sudden loss of life when a plane crashes..

It also dont mean that we dont care about lesser numbers who lose their lives on the roads...

Well said Mildred

Its just awful!
they will be mainly Spanish people I think on their annual Holidays!

Paul.......Think what you are saying please !!

Just found this thread again, and really sad that Paul felt that he had to spoil it.

Why can't people stay out of threads they don't like, instead of causing trouble.

Just please spare a thought for all the people affected by this awful plane crash today.

I agree Maggie.
There will be a lot of very distraught families tonight.

Has anyone any up to date news??

My sky is in and out. We bought a new tv during the week and since putting the sky back it doesnt work properly

love T.x

The spanish people are very religious too, so I bet it will be a strange place to be tonight. They will probably have a period of mourning.

My daughter was living in Madrid at the time of the bombings and told about the candles being lit every where.

Teresa, have a look at

Where abouts in Spain are you Roxanne?

OMG

153 dead including 20 children and 2 infants...........So so awful.

I am praying for the families of those involved, including the recue crews who must have some horrific memories.

love Theresa
