sorry. had to help dh put ds to bed.
flossam, i do sometimes have to use the tube, i frequently use buses, although i have the car some days i don't.
dh frequently goes into the centre of town for meetings and although i don't work in central london i live in zone 2 so, not out of the line of fire.
tbh, what that has to do with anything is beyond me. ergo, if i didn't take the tube i would have no right to comment??????
because you are a nurse, because sadly you have seem some of the injured people, i must not question your point of view or you will act as if i'm drowning your kittens????
sorry, but i'm p*ssed off now.
i have not blamed the police.
i have not said they should do nothing.
nor am i anti-police.
like i have said repeatedly, in times like these it is more important then ever to question (not just accept as a sad fact of life) that an innocent man was shot dead yesterday. i'm sure all good police people are doing the same.
if mn is a reflection of society (and actually i believe that it is both better educated and more sensitive then would be the case if it was) then i am seriously frightened by some of the assumptions and reactions people are having to the horrible things that are being done to our city.
flossam, i'm really sorry, but you did say yesterday that 'these people have brought it on themselves' and i severely questioned your use of that phrase. you said that i had misunderstood you, and i accepted this, but in this thread you have said 'I ask you to consider how we have come to this point again - if there were no suicide bombers there would not be such urgent suspiscion and no need for such drastic action to be taken.' which i take to mean that this guy wouldn't be dead if there weren't suicide bombers...and what? that's ok then?
as an adult i expect to be able to argue about news and current events on here whilst understanding that people get v heated in these things. I understand that i might come across them again on another thread and be supportive of them, or them of me.
you obviously don't see things that way. i'm sorry but i'm not going to not post in case you are offended because i'm questioning your point of view.
as for my dh. last night he questioned your point of view. he did it sarcastically and aggressively, and i'm sorry for that. but that is all he was doing. questioning your point of view.
reacting as if you're being stoned to death is a form of aggression in itself.
