First D what exactly did you find to be malisious? all i did was made your post reflect the equal horrors of aspiring to a good life but unfortunatly being in Bagdad on that date when the "smart bombs" rained down
For me its all the same no matter if your a family suffering loss there or in London Its also in my view true that past behaviour leads to cause and effect consiquences that indeed may have unfortunate and terrible affects on ordinary folks lives.I could therefor wholeheartedly agree with you as im sure would you with me"
To your first point "In modern usage an aphorism is generally understood to be a concise statement containing a subjective truth or observation cleverly and pithily written."
I note your sense of humour is diferent to mine you might have recognised the basic humanity in the transferance of your words and simply agreed that it was just as valid. Ordinary people dead in Bagdad in the past may well lead to ordinary people dead in London both are equal tradgedy,s
As to your second astute observation spot on (irony) Except I was up a mountain growing my food and finding myself accepted as an imigrant by my kind neihbours![]()
