1252975 2012-01-09 04:31:00 Why? Every year people die in boating accidents, car accidents (reported especially around now), all sorts.

Must we stop everything because of this?

It was very sad for those related to the people in the balloon accident, but I fail to see why the rest of us stop our usual activities.

Agree.

1252976 2012-01-09 04:53:00 I have a few pertinent comments to make:

As has been stated by others, it is my decision every Monday as to whether I post or not, and in this instance the circumstances of the deaths were particularly horrendous.

Members are free to make any comment they wish, but IMHO to rank jokes above expressions of empathy and sympathy in the face of such an appalling tragedy would be to say things about our society mores that would sadden me even more.

Were it two carloads of drunken fools I would have regarded it as Darwinian justice and posted as normal.

I do not understand why balloon and basket are not made of non-flammable materials.


I appreciate the supportive comments.

Billy

quite agree but if Billy knew someone involved I can understand his stance, otherwise it is just BS.
Did anyone not involved not go to work today because of it?

1252978 2012-01-09 08:37:00 I think it's incredibly rude and inappropriate of anyone to voice their opposition to Billy's move here. You wouldn't loudly object during a minute's silence in a public place, would you? Thanks for your expression of sympathy towards the victims Billy. george12 (7)

I've wondered this also?! Surely it's not too difficult?

If I had a good reason or it was a good cause, I would.

That has to be the rudest statement I have read for a long time. It's time to drop the attitude and grow up

Why is it?

Nowhere in this thread or on this forum does it state that the Monday laughs are the property of the OP

It is time that some of you got down off your high horses and quit the preachin'
