    cant help but notice the barrage of deaths i read of lately.


    its AH so prob not the best place to post this.

    but the guy in scotland burned to a cinder
    the guardai in ireland drowned
    woman in dublin drowned
    cop in england stopped on motorway mowed down by a truck
    girl in liverpool chasing a train killed on the platform.

    jaysus, dont think i have seen such as many misfortunate deaths in a few days ever.

    rest their souls.

    I don't want to speak for Mr. X but I think he was limiting his list to people who didn't deserve to die.

    Yeah I didn't think it was a word either but apparently it is.

    Although I think "unfortunate" would be a better choice of word as "misfortunate" appears to be connected to the cause of the misfortune rather than the victim of the misfortune.

    people die, it happens all the time, most in tragic events, but not enough to make them newsworthy
