    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.

    misfortunate?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Dotrel


    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.

    Are all (or most) deaths not UNfortunate?

    How about the thousands who are dying everyday due to the famine in Somalia? Oh wait that doesn't get reported does it?

    in the time its taken me to type this 3 people have died in Ireland.
    people die, it happens all the time, most in tragic events, but not enough to make them newsworthy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 175 ✭✭whubee


    lifes a pointless drag through crap and sht of many varieties spiced up with fear, confusion, ignorance and inevitable death.
    id like to say a big fck you to whatever reason, god, essence, consciousness, gene, or noodle monster that put me and everyone else here.

    Micky's not dead, he's just regenerating.

    The Master finally penetrated his disguise.

    I think that was it anyway, he kept muttering about penetrating Micky ...
