![]() "Jack Jack" wrote in message ... Hi guys, I too live in London and when the bombs went off I said "bad **** happens" like so many others must have said. This is definitely a grim situation. Of course we are all shocked. But at the same time maybe we should take a little break and be less dour. In the Blitz, What's a Blitz? |

A series of thousands of planes dropping tonnnes of munitions simultaeously. London survived that, and put on an olympics 3 years after the war. So these muslim ******s don't know what they're up against here. We'll **** the lot of them. |

Look, I'd be grateful if you saved the "dogged determination" and "bulldog spirit" for the day that we're faced with some last-ditch battle against overwhelming odds for the capital. To summon up all this excess verbiage simply because the little rash which in the 21st century afflicts every major capital has arrived here, and not even unexpectedly, is just plain silly. Yes, the deaths of fifty people in such incidents is tragic, and the exploit ranks among one of the most serious and bloody crimes committed in London in many years, but please don't lose your perspective. Why? Because that's one of the terrorist's intentions, that you lose your sense of proportion and indulge in inflammatory language concerning innocent people unfortunate enough to have been born into the Muslim faith. Don't be the terrorist's surrogate. Don't indulge in comparisons between this event and "London in the blitz", etc. If you are under 70 years of age you have no actual memories of that conflict anyway, so stop wallowing in nostalgia for times you never experienced, or only experienced second-hand. Be a genuine Londoner, the person you really are, not some stuffed bulldog-breed with a Union jack on the chest you saw once in a souvenir shop window. The red London bus was an iconic target. Don't be an iconic victim. Des. |

In his "answer" he described a situation which has absolutely nothing in common with the present situation regarding the U-bahn bombings in London. His comparison was ridiculous, almost as ridiculous as you trying to apply a "tick-box mentality" to other people's posting style. Please don't clamp me. |
