    RIP :(

    I can't remember where it was but I heard on the radio earlier on that a airliner crashed in the East somewhere, most are thought to be dead. As they say, things come in 3's. :sigh:

    It's really sad to hear news like this!!!! It's even worse that his young son was with him too!!! It's always sad to see a young life taken away from us. At least they are together.

    Coincidence, the man didn't die because you took down his poster.

    Sucks that those people died, being dead blows.

    :(

    So, he made a slightly strange comment and you bite at him, and then you make an equally even stranger comment... Yes, I imagine being dead 'blows', however I bet it 'blows' more for the people left behind.

    exsqueze me?

    I wasn't biting at him, I was merely saying that it was coincidence and him taking down the poster had no effect on the man dying, not hostile at all. Strange or not those are my condolences.
